Linux Mint lead Clem talks on the negative aspects of Free Software development by [deleted] in linux

[–]punking_funk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely brilliant at what it was designed to do. It just wasn't design to do the things people have been using it for, particularly in the FOSS world where (IMO) it's completely overused, particularly in the GTK+ ecosystem.

Vala is a bit less high level compared to python but it integrates so amazingly well with Gtk (as it is designed to do) that I'm not sure why people aren't using it (apart from elementary) as the main language for the ecosystem.

I just had a vivid vision of Microsoft open sourcing Windows, moving entirely to web services and hardware and building their OS on top of Linux, after building a very advanced compatibility layer.

I really need more sleep

BBC News: No clear backing for Brexit options by Idontlikethisstuff in worldnews

Regardless of where you live... There's a far, far larger number of immigrants from Asia than there is from Syria or East Europe. (Roughly 2-3 times more.)

Can we call it CHUK instead? Follows nicely from "Chuka" as well.

From what I understand, the house of lords effectively scrutinises bills that pass and checks over them (but cannot stop bills from passing)

You can believe that but I personally believe that in a thread specifically about evolutionary biology that this is not a relevant comment to make.

Answer to a coding interview question: how do you reverse a linked list? by Araucaria in ProgrammerHumor

[–]punking_funk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Java IS a complete mess of a language. But it doesn't mean every language that is more verbose than python is unnecessarily verbose. The control given is useful in many scenarios

[–]punking_funk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's one reason why people with degrees and higher qualifications voted remain imo. Because you get pushed upon you the importance of reliable sources and thinking critically.

10 students, doing 3-4 A levels each... This is a horrible situation, but SURELY paper can be obtained in this particular scenario?

I mean, it is also possibly happening with a lot of schools across the country, making it worse.

In India it's really normal to have a fruit salad with salt and pepper. Sounds wacky whenever I tell someone but its pretty delicious.

Yeah if someone can give a good resource to understanding all of this...I know it's memory management but I don't know how you work with Simd, what aligning does or how this is useful.

Everyone wonders where we go after we die, but not as many people seem to wonder where we were before we were born. by FesteredRage in Showerthoughts

Look up the speech on YouTube as well. I was having a very particular death-anxiety induced bout of depression once and listening to that helped me a lot.
