What is cool about it? That it reminds you of cool movies? "You" would not be watching this one but starring in it.

I hate this meme. Someone says "think about what you are doing prideful fool". And the other person still decides to use lethal force. That is diabolical, not funny.

TL;DR: AI translated books on the occult and occult-adjecent themes :/

Modifiability does not imply insecurity (though if it did, the user should still be given a choice).

A software author has the right to set terms for use of their software, including requiring that manufacturers provide end users certain freedoms.

Unfortunately, Torvalds supported tivoization: https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/13/289

They are also used to exclude control speech and exclude certain people https://chrismcdonough.substack.com/p/the-shameful-defenestr...

Hi. I don't know if you'll see this (I'm banned, so someone will have to upvote me if you have showdead off), but I would like to know what languages you personally like the most, or which ideas do you think a perfect language should have?

From the article:

>Another important note - some binary blobs and other non-free software components are used today in PebbleOS and the Pebble mobile app (ex: the heart rate sensor on PT2 , Memfault library, and others). Optional non-free web services, like Wispr-flow API speech recognizer, are also used. These non-free software components are not required - you can compile and run Pebble watch software without them. This will always be the case. More non-free software components may appear in our software in the future. The core Pebble watch software stack (everything you need to use your Pebble watch) will always be open source.

100% should mean 100%

So not 100% open source. Thanks for the info

I can confirm that (several years ago at least) free PDF libraries were lacking, and Telerik was always non-free.

However, aren't Moq, Avalonia and MassTransit free software?

As for Automapper and MediatR, their owner changed from a free software license to only an open source one (Reciprocal Public License), but these are probably the simplest libraries of the ones you mentioned and have either been forked (MagicMapper) or have alternatives.

Have you heard about Safing's "SPN"? Could you comment on that?

We need to get EU on this case.

While I appreciate criticizing bloat (why are we packing Chromium in every app again?), I would like to warn against watching every "pound". Images, for example, "weigh" a lot more than code but that doesn't mean they don't serve a purpose and add value.

That being said, the fact that quick maths can give you a 6 orders of magnitude difference between functional code and the package is probably reason for concern.

Yay

Christianity opposes abortion in accord with the prohibition of murder, what with science informing us that human life begins at conception and our consciences, and God's moral law recorded in good book that murder i wrong.

I notice you use the word choice and classify the pro-life position s "anti-choice" which makes it seem like a bad thing. However the "choice we are talking about here is directly and intentionlly causing death to an innocent human being. I think it is very important to understnd that.

To borrow an atheist trope, you and I agree that murder is evil and immoral in most cases. I just think it's wrong in one more case, when the victims are yet unborn too (I reckon murder is intrinsically evil and immoral)

I think it would be pretty nice to be able to use the keyboard to navigate the UI (left/right arrow keys to "orbit the content", up/down to "zoom").

Using a pointer, I'd prefer to just be able to click on the oval to zoom into, maybe double-click to zoom back out a level, use the back button to go to the place I came from.

Jai has been in development for a decade. I would appreciate if it were finally open-sourced.

I can't find `timegm` neither in the C99 standard draft nor in POSIX.1-2024.

The first sentence of your link reads:

>The C/Unix time- and date-handling API is a confusing jungle full of the corpses of failed experiments and various other traps for the unwary, many of them resulting from design decisions that may have been defensible when the originals were written but appear at best puzzling today.

While the situation with tracking in the West is awful, there's a huge difference between having a choice, however impractical, and being spied on in secret.

Title makes it seem as if you writr typesafe SQL, but you really use a builder which generates SQL for you.

I was expecting something more like sqlx, which I believe provides compile-time checking for SQL queries without a DSL, but for Rust

The Catholic Church teaches that we cannot do evil so that good may come out of it. It cannot be the means as in abortion. It could only be tolerated as an undesirable consequence of a good act such as self-defense. But unless one is in immediate danger from the agressor, I do not see how one can use deadly force. Whether the partisan action is legitimate self-defense I cannot say, I didn't actually look into this, but the disposition of treating whst you believe is a sin as a good essentially, and hoping for forgiveness without repentance, that is evil.

Might be a good idea to record clicks that have no associated action. If you could display all of such clicks visually, the problem might become obvious.

It matters for integrity. They promised 100% free forever. But anyway, death and betrayal aren't necessarily the only options. As others have suggested, they can try soliciting donations more forcefully.

If that doesn't work, they could introduce premium features. Stuff that obviously has to cost money would make the pill easier to swallow, for example, features that depends on third party services (only LLMs come to mind right now), or human assistance (real-life instructors). Admittedly, this would be a compromise. One could argue it fails on the 100% part, but another could argue that 100% of existing features remain free.

If goodness is a necessary sacrifice for something, that something, whatever it may be, is not worth the sacrifice

I am a man, and the name of this language is repulsive to me as well

From the article:

>We did think about it for about three seconds - was it a betrayal to my parents, to my father's [wishes]? And we decided, yes, it was a betrayal. But that's what children are for.

Suggestion for Kagi: If you haven't made the t-shirts yet, offer users to request/reserve one first. That way you won't ship to those who don't want it (though you won't ship to some who do, so maybe save some t-shirts on the side for those willing to contact you to ask if there's any left after the deadline)
