Couple of weeks ago here, I said rust has too much corporate and political hands in it and is drving away from FOSS. Most people disagreed.

By "too sensitive" I don't mean "no empathy". On the contrary, I'm promoting empathy, to understand eachother and live along eachother even with our faults. My definition of " too sensitive" is more along the lines of "spoiled", "self centered", "haven't been in to the real world and different parts of the world that much".

I get your point. But we have gotten way too picky and sensitive over time. "We live in a society" as a wise clown once said, and there are all different kinds of people around us. While we have to call out to villains, we can't be too picky and expect everybody to be what is our opinion on what's good. You need tolerance in actual communities. Your uncle might be a MAGA idiot but you don't need to hate him or be enemies with him. You can acknowledge that "hey, I really don't agree with this view of yours" and have an awesome pick nick or have fun with eachother. I've been there.

Social media and internet have made us comfortable with living in our own bubbles. We go to the social media that we like, follow the certain channels,people,communities that we like, block anything that we don't like and thus just create ecochambers for ourselves. But that's not a healthy society. We need to learn tolerance.

We can find the top 20% of actual bad guys and fully go to war with them, but no need to agree in everything with eachother all the time.

Sounds interesting. A quicker, lighter java is better.

V7 means that astro had backward-incompatible, breaking changes 7 times thus far? People had to update and migrate their websites 7 times?

This is actually one of the few good usecases of complex parallax js heavy website.

This is an art piece. It's not an actual product. The website is also a part of the piece.

This is an actually deep art piece.

Best thing I've seen today

FOSS calc and conversion

A friend of mine made a cool calculator and unit converter. It parses natural English phrases like "how many inches are in 3 feet?" and "300 miles / 65 mph in hours and minutes" and "download 10GB 1Gbps". You can access it from web (including PWA), CLI or as a library. It has a strong FOSS philosophy behind it.

 

Hi people.

I have a blog with zola ssg, so its using markdown, tracked by git.

I always write from my laptop but I thought writing from my android phone can be great too for quick notes and when Im traveling, away, etc.

I have termux+neovim setup on my phone but I though maybe theres something simpler for a phone. you guys have any suggestions?

 

Hi people. Is there a way that I can change my username?

I'm learning Clojure and solving advent of code puzzles is a great way to learn for me.

I've been trying to optimize one of my solutions (2025 day2) as far as I can.

Suggestions on how to optimize further will be greatly appreciated!

Hi guys.

I just did day1 of 2024 (I know, I'm late) this might be a dumb question but I reallydont understand why we should sort the two lists before substracting? I created some test cases with 10-20 items and calculated them manually, if you don't sort the list and just add all list1 items and substract from the sum of list2, you get the same answer. But it doesn't work with the large input file.

Let's say list1 has elements (a,b,c,d) and list2 has (e,f,g,h).

(a-e)+(b-f)+(c-g)+(d-h) = a-e+b-f+c-g+d-h = (a+b+c+d)-(e+f+g+h)

So the sorting shouldn't matter. Right? But it does. Am I too bad at basic math?

 

checkout "My checklist and tips for server setup"

Please share your tips and tricks with me. I would love to hear them and use them.

Any feedback is welcomed.

 

Hi Redshift isn't maintained anymore and lately redshift-gtk doesnt start anymore (something about a python circular dependancy).

What should we use?
