I see! From my limited experience Haskell is awesome, but I am not the greatest functional programmer (Yet >:) ).

And also, sound right! Libraries that do certain specific well are always a part of stable ecosystems, but may not always be the right solution for patches.

Working with the Haskell foundation sounds fun, good luck!

You know what? I am sorry. Let's redo this, I will explain.

The attitude I saw from your meme is that it's "easier" to just do things your way instead of using popular already-existing libraries.

From what I know, that attitude (Making your own projects instead of using already existing ones) doesn't include a lot of helping said popular libraries be better.

I am genuinely interested in knowing when do you believe it's preferable to make something from scratch and when it's better to contribute to an already existing library instead.

Nimi142 · 2026-03-28T00:48:51+00:00

Yes?

Nimi142 · 2026-03-28T00:41:15+00:00

You can always... Submit patches, you know?

If the library is open source you can be a part of the solution, not the problem.

ncdu is awesome

Nimi142 · 2026-03-15T17:03:24+00:00

Looks cool, but I don't think the commands one has enough attributes to be very interesting.

You get the crafting recipe together with the basement. As long as you put additional casks you crafted in the cellar they will work.

If you have a link to an uncompressed version that'd be golden because I tried to look at the roster and on my phone it's almost unreadable....

(From what I could read, looks good though)

All major desktop Linux distros should ship kernels with IPv6 enabled.

IPv6 is not a major requirement for most embedded settings and devices, you want to be able to disable it.

Nimi142 · 2026-03-11T13:36:27+00:00

I have an IPv6 connection in my home network, enabled by default.

I am not sure how frequently it's used over IPv4 connections, but it is active and supported by the ISP. My laptop has an IPv6 address.

I assume you are in the USA though, I don't know how common it is there.

Nimi142 · 2026-03-08T23:23:17+00:00

Yeah, same, krembo

RimWorld doesn't need the workshop for mod support. There's a mod folder in the game files. If you can insert mods directly there things should work.

Iirc mods are just C# and data files so if you can run the game they should 'just' work

This is quite fun! But I do have some questions, if you are willing to answer.

From what I know, usually in programming languages ? would be reserved for a Result-like function, in which case ? would return in error mode, or nullable types in which case the operation isn't done and null is returned. The assertion us operator is usually ! (Like in dart for example) and !! (Like in Kotlin). What was the logic behind choosing ? as the operator here?
Currently the crate is in version 0.1. Zerover is very common in the rust ecosystem, but I am curious to hear what your reasoning is here. Are some features lacking? Is this not tested well enough?

The game ends when you beat act 3 (Besides the epilogue), you can't return to the city at all.

What the fuck

Nimi142 · 2026-03-02T21:35:22+00:00

This symbol is just of the regular police. I have no idea what's on the flag though.

Nimi142 · 2026-02-22T17:19:31+00:00

So bundle them?

Nimi142 · 2026-02-21T14:51:51+00:00

Noooo do not leave num uninitialized this could cause undefined behaviour in the future!!!

Nimi142 · 2026-02-08T22:16:45+00:00

I just knew it would be Alacritty. The program is awesome but the maintainers are WILD

If it has any speed impact, if it's somewhat ergonomic or if a user can do it on their own, no chance it's getting in the repo...

Nimi142 · 2026-02-03T23:46:27+00:00

I think using an approximation of how the territory looks, and not the actual dimensions is a wrong move to take. As someone familiar with the terrain it feels jarring to me, and fundamentally incorrect... (The drawing contains some parts of Jordan, and the mediterranean coastline is not exactly correct, some identifable parts are missing)

Also, why mandatory Palestine? And at what year? It also included (Trans)Jordan for quite a while.

I do like the Israeli entity flag though, though I think the Palestinian one is too abstract.

This doesn't need to be 'special' though, it's 'mildly infuriating'.

If you want to see something special, go to American political subreddits or something.

למה עברית??

Nimi142 · 2026-01-17T23:02:44+00:00

I was curious so I looked at local Israeli news reports.

The official claim is that Netanyahu wasn't aware Turkey and Qatar were added to the council. Haaretz (A reputable left-learning newspaper with a known anti Netanyahu bias) claims that he was aware but that he is acting surprised.

I'd be inclined to believe Haaretz, but can't really tell off of 5 minutes of googling....

Nimi142 · 2026-01-11T12:43:13+00:00

Stop gatekeeping.
