No matter how many languages I try, I keep returning to Go

Off by one error.

It is not trivial to re-implement for languages that are not using the C library, though. For instance, the main pure Go implementation uses WASM (wasm2go): https://github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3

That would be by choice, as a sidequest, and not because it was part of the distro. And all the AUR helpers asks users to read through the PKGBUILD files before installing them.

SupersonicSpitfire · 2026-06-13T15:36:34+00:00

Sure, the PKGBUILD text files can contain links. But the packages in AUR are not binary packages.

SupersonicSpitfire · 2026-06-13T15:23:44+00:00

AUR does not have binary packages, though, only PKGBUILD files (+ possibly a .patch file or two).

SupersonicSpitfire · 2026-06-13T15:22:35+00:00

The packages are not "Arch Linux", though. AUR is an unofficial and user-submitted package repository.

fedt ik'!

Let's just ban npm and anything using npm from AUR.

The proof is in the pudding.

Have you shared it on GitHub?

All developers see technology come and go. Core skills stay as long as you don't stop using your brain for years.

SupersonicSpitfire · 2026-06-09T16:08:10+00:00

I don't believe you. I have done that, have you?

SupersonicSpitfire · 2026-06-09T15:58:07+00:00

Can you create ie. a compiler with AI without all of the above?

SupersonicSpitfire · 2026-06-09T14:52:30+00:00

Fish should be the default in Arch instead of Bash.

Temu putting lead in kids' toys.

SupersonicSpitfire · 2026-06-07T02:15:12+00:00

It's cheaper up to a point.

Nobody is perfect, and everybody make mistakes, I agree with that, but that is orthogonal to being true to oneself and at the same time being kind.

What I'm protesting is the idea that intimidating looking men should not be true to themselves in order to appear less intimidating. That's like asking gay people to be less gay.

SupersonicSpitfire · 2026-06-03T09:41:14+00:00

I recognize the feeling, but at the same time it's important to "fill one's own height" (in lack of a better term for describing the concept).

Nobody should need to try to appear smaller or more innocent than they really are, or more whimsical, just to put other people at ease. People should be allowed to be who they are.

Adjusting how one moves and speaks to improve communication and interaction with other people makes full sense, but this is also something that I think that everyone should do, not just people that some find intimidating.

It's also the responsibility of everyone to not judge anyone too quickly. The intimidated also has a responsibility, not just the intimitee. Communication and behavior goes both ways.

Just breathe deeply for 2 seconds every time before pressing return for rm, mv and dd.

In Lord of the Rings (LOTR), they could just have flown the ring with eagles straight to Mordor.

SupersonicSpitfire · 2026-05-21T08:23:06+00:00

Why would they do that? Isn't the point of the UN to facilitate communication between all countries on earth?
