I don't know what mechanism prevents me from biting my tongue, but it clearly isn't reliable enough.

I wonder if anyone has ever written an embedded in which there is no run-time interpreter, and all SQL queries are translated into machine code at compile time.

Kinda like sqlx, except queries are fully compiled at compile time, not just checked for correct syntax and types.

I'm guessing this would be extremely specific to one language, and outright impossible in most programming languages.

Woe betide the man, beast, or Q who dares stand between Kathryn Janeway and her coffee.

The test is based on the assumption that humans are difficult to fool.

If you'll study the histories of commerce, politics, or religion, you'll find that this assumption is thoroughly unsound.

I like big FG9000s and I cannot lie.

Is it just me, or does the cyberdemon's roar sound like “moo”?

In the beginning, the computer was invented. It had many uses, and people saw that it was good, and much money was made.

Then, the Internet was invented. It, too, had many uses, and people saw that it was good, and much money was made.

Seeing this, the techbros concluded that people will see any new technology as good, and that much money will be made, and so they invented , and said that it had many uses and was good.

Nice thing about : if you rename a file, and try to use the name of a file that already exists, the file manager asks if you want to replace that file.

Which, yes, is exactly what I want. Most file managers won't let me do that, but this one will.

I ❤️ KDE.

I find it comforting to walk among buildings and alongside car traffic.

I think because it reminds me that, as grim as everything is these days, civilization lives on.

I'm kinda sad that 2 didn't have the “you are here” map intermission screen that Doom 1 did.

Until Unicode assigns a code point specifically for source code indentation, the tab is the correct way to indent.

@bazkie

Only if you use exactly one space per indent. Which I do, as an act of defiance, in languages like YAML that don't let me use tabs. ✊

I wonder if any languages let you use U+2001 EM QUAD as an indentation character?

@argv_minus_one 1 space per indent, I accept that as a middle ground 😋👍

xz: backdoored

xz maintainer: fell victim to social engineering, reportedly due to ill health

xz co-maintainers responsible for code review: don't exist; nobody's getting paid to do that

Corporate security impresarios in the near future, probably: “Three-factor authentication is now mandatory. This will solve everything for sure this time.”

EU government: “Open source is now illegal. Use proprietary software instead; it never contains malware.”

Why doesn't Poll have an already-completed state?

@argv_minus_one the contract of Future is that you're not allowed to poll it anymore after seeing Ready, so AlreadyDone would be used only by technically incorrectly designed APIs.

There is a Fused extension that protects futures from being polled after Ready:

We didn't have none of these new-fangled light-emitting doohickeys when I was young. If you wanted to see a picture on a screen back in my day, you'd point a 27-kilovolt death ray at your face, which came with a screen attached in front of it, and the death ray would light up the screen. This contraption somehow didn't kill us. Usually.
