What if the reason we've never seen a time traveler isn't because it's impossible, but because humanity is going to wipe itself out before anyone figures out how?
@xgranade I simultaneously do not understand this, yet at the same time feels completely in-line with what I do understand about quantum mechanics (i.e.: take everything that makes intuitive sense and throw it out the window).
@helpers I updated my OS from Debian 11 to 12 (finally) and when I did, apache2 broke. I've got it reinstalled, but I'm 99% certain it's missing required modules. (see: https://social.jlamothe.net for the error I'm encountering). Is anyone able to help me hunt down which modules I'm still missing?
How did webdev get to the point that repeating <h1 class="font-bold text-xl mb-2"> for every individual header is an incredibly popular approach?
@xgranade We might as well go back to using <font> tags at this point. That said, procedurally-genetated code (which I assume is what this is) is usually ugly because debugging is typically done at a higher level of abstraction.
I've been holed up in the (home) office for most of the day (not uncommon). I happened to look out the window and noticed that our building was surrounded by cops.
Interesting.
Turns out they arrested one of the downstairs neighbours... for what, I don't know.
Here's the interesting bit though: apparently, the landlord offered them the key to the apartment, but they couldn't legally use it because there was no warrant. I guess that makes sense, but while they weren't allowed to to that, they apparently were allowed to enter the apartment by prying a window open or kicking the door in. In what world does that make any sense?
People who don't like #Rust: why specifically don't you like it?
I'm in the process of learning it now. There are definitely some things about the language that I can see some as finding irritating (i.e.: the borrowing system). Personally though, I'd rather have a dozen complie-time errors than a single runtime error. This is the reason I tend to gravitate towards Haskell, for instance.
It's certainly not the right language for everything, but if you want better safety in code that needs to be highly efficient, it seems a reasonable alternative to C/C++.
@atomicpoet@deadsuperhero I've actually been meaning to do some digging into the SVG file format. I did know it was XML. I want to be able to programmatically create things like graphs and such.
Sure, such libraries probably already exist, but where's the fun in that?
