Depends on systemd's considerations these days.

People who want stable interfaces should not touch anything Linux with a ten-foot pole.

AFAIR you can use and submit custom bangs. That said, they're curated, I think. See: https://duckduckgo.com/newbang

Well, "weather" is "it's snowing", "snow report" is "amount and quality of snow", I guess. Relevant for skiing and/or driving safely.

Or it's some vocal guy on Bluesky which didn't allow public links until recently.

uBlacklist has a button to enable other search engines, like DuckDuckGo. Press it!

You can just use anything that looks like a mail address with Kagi.

DuckDuckGo can do that for free though.

That website only covers a small subset of free licenses though.

Ah, twm is still better than Gnome.

To be fair, X (VcXsrv) works on Windows and (XQuartz) pre-M1 macOS.

Wayland won't work well on non-Linux systems, and this is intentional. So, for the foreseeable feature, it can't replace X because its developers don't care.

If a and b are strings, Python would make "ab".

Actually, I generally recommend to not leave easy tasks to the computer. The brain likes to have to do stuff sometimes.

Sounds like it would be easier to just use C anyway.

The website says he's still a member of the board. But I have not noticed his general disapproval, so thank you!

And they all go over to Bluesky now, co-invented by the former Twitter CEO, paid by investors, providing exactly one server. What could go wrong?

I wouldn't say it was practical anyway.

The newest album by NǽnøcÿbbŒrg VbërrHolökäävsT is 44 hours long. I guess that the format is not the limit anymore.

My vinyl player.

I will _not_ listen to music made for people with a short attention span.

Makes sense. Are you familiar with how to create one? Because I’m not, but I’d volunteer to link to one.

SBCL is a package on most Linux distributions, Quicklisp is a package manager for SBCL: https://www.quicklisp.org/beta/#installation

Finally, one can have inefficient C.

I hereby humbly apologise for daring to participate in the comments section of Hacker News despite my autism. Will not happen again.

(But then where are "people like me" supposed to go?).

I thought that being rude towards Docker containers - because I /really/ don't like the containerization of every single shell script that is happening these days - will hurt nobody's feelings. It seems that I was wrong. But now that I rephrased the comment, could we please talk about the subject now?

> You could've just said no instead of going on some weird rant.

"Dude", I could, but then a valid follow-up would have been something like "why not?", and I think that I have sufficiently covered this.

> There are plenty of reasons for containerization

"Bro", I understand that containerization would make a small amount of sense under the following circumstances:

- The software in question was a giant package with a quadrillion dependencies which all interfere with each other. rssparser.lisp is not.

- The software in question will need to be deployed on a metric ton of very different machines. rssparser.lisp can easily be deployed without this additional layer.

> it seems like engaging in any sort of conversation with you is pointless.

You haven't even tried yet. I'm open for any kind of discussion, but it would probably help both sides if the subject was "how to improve the software", don't you think?

The required degree of respect was exhausted by the question of what the advantages were. This rampant epidemic of wanting to dump everything into some kind of "container" and "image" was quite funny for a while, but is now just annoying.

What exactly would be the point of shoving a script that is nothing more than a simple cronjob and that could theoretically just be compiled as a static binary into a Docker container?

Looking forward to feedback! I posted it on HN a while ago, but it can't hurt to have new input.

If you want to create new RSS feeds from almost anything, my rssparser.lisp is still there: https://code.rosaelefanten.org/rssparser.lisp
