why would you need an “everything app”.
You can have more than one app on your device, it’s okay, I won’t tell anyone

"Israel's Use of Palestinian Children as Human Shields"

Three boys say the IDF used them to shield soldiers from potential harm during an IDF raid on a refugee camp.

"They forced Karam to walk in front of them, open the doors to each room, & enter it before them. While they were walking, one soldier placed his rifle on Karam's right shoulder & fired two shots toward an apartment".

@louis quite good! This would be amazing for an introductory common lisp book, especially if it could be self-hosted by the author/publishet

DuckDuckGo seems to have LLM generated summaries of pages now, this text was not in the page at all.

It's fascinating to me looking at beginning language guides and thinking "what does this say about the culture of the language"

When I was delving into it was (with affection) "here's hello world and here's a dense academic paper on implementing event systems in OCaml 5!"

guides used to be centered on the assumption that you were a web programmer looking to do applets, even long after that assumption died.

generally seems to assume a background in programming w/ a CLI.

@hrefna have you mucked around with Haskell much? Would love to see your impressions

crmsnbleyd, to haskell
@crmsnbleyd@emacs.ch avatar

how the hell do you add dependencies in Haskell stack, I add yesod to the build-depends in the cabal file like shown in the stack example but on running stack build it fails saying it couldn't find yesod, and then the line is removed from the cabal file. Haskell ecosystem is hell.

@hungryjoe @6d03 thanks for the help, I'd been looking at old documentation, silly me

rust programmers having an existential crisis when start thinking about failure states for their program, and they realize that anything can panic, even things that don’t return a Result, and that things can even abort without panics, or experience sudden power loss, leaving I/O in a corrupted state, and that there is only so much error handling and recovery that can happen, and

I use a fork of Mastodon client in Android and it seems upstream has brought in contemporary UI expertise from the industry to make things harder. (Haven't verified, so keep that bowl of salt handy)

Saving an image/video was one tap when media was open, now it's a click, a swipe and another click away.

Progress!

@eniko by the way, I went into a PSP homebrew deep dive yesterday, maybe you'd be interested in that? You could either use C or lua, and the PSP is like a PS1.5 anyway

hosting a fedi server is incredibly easy you just need a

  • moderately sized server
  • database, probably on its own machine
  • mail server/service with good reputation
  • deep pockets so that a moderately popular media-toot does not bankrupt you
  • object storage for media
  • comprehensive knowledge of alliances and feuds, updated daily

isn't the fediverse wonderful

lisp.wtf is available to rent. What would be a useful thing to host on it?
