soooo, how is it going so far?

A good question, as I like it and don’t like it. It is without a doubt better than dynamic types.

On the pro side it removes redundant writing the type again and again. On the con side it is almost impossible to see what type with what functions the variable in front of you has without an IDE (which you don’t have without cloning the repo) or without an already deep knowledge of the code.

Same with extension functions (free functions which can be added to a type almost anywhere in the codebase). Very useful (Kotlin is a great example for this) but also confusing when you want to hunt down where this piece of code is coming from.

I really don’t like comparing languages by Hello World complexity. You could use a lang which needs 3 chars to print it but sucks at everything else but it would still look better at first glance.

As for this specific comparison: let the project grow to only midsize and you will crave for static types and well separated classes.

@[email protected] Was ich an diesen Systemen auch unintuitiv finde, istbdass ein Stern für sich ja auch irgendwie was Postives sein kann. In etwa “nicht gut, aber besser als nichts”. Daher weiß ich immer nicht, wo bei solchen Skalen die neutrale Mitte sein soll.
Ich würde mir lieber ein System mit 0 als Neutal und dann Werten von < 0 bis > 0 wünschen.

At the Aldi in my area many of the token mechanism are broken, so the carts are always loose. They get put back by people anyways, which makes me happy.

Just a guess honestly

Good to know, thx.

Huh, didn’t know about that. I should try the application again.

Not every applications runs in Wine. For example I didn’t get USB devices (not storage, connection to a special device) running in Wine. And I can imagine that old serial connections and so are even more tricky.

“lost”. Isn’t it just virtual money from the values of the shares anyway (until they are realized by selling)?

Proton: didn’t find anything (but I just did a quick lookup)

I opened this post to mention the charginglevel. Good that I’m not the only one.

This is called reproducible builds. With this all builds of a version will be binary-identical. So you can build from the repo and the compare it with the appstore binary and see if the owner was honest.

Not really, they use a derivate of Signals protocol. But this doesn’t stop them from making their closed source clients to forward the securely received messages to them. An idea which comes to mind would be the “link device” feature: they invoke it to link their internal client to your phone and the apps hides it from the device list.

I think downvotes are hidden for every Mbin instance. I don’t know how it is with other software.

Exactly. I enabled displaying the domains of every user, so I noticed that FaceDeer is on the same instance as I am and so wanted to point out this odd difference.

Maybe we should convey to new users more strongly that ActivityPub software “is like a large open place, where you can publish what you want (minus moderated content) and everyone has the ability to see everything you did”.

I’m also on fedia and I can see who upvoted and boosted a comment / thread / post.

If you have spare servers, then yes, that is quicker.
My idea is for the case that you just have the servers you already manage available.

When he asks again for hosting on the server don’t bother asking him about his software. Just do malicious complience: create a new user on the server, no sudo rights, ssh enabled and install Podman. Podman is like Docker but fully confined in the user.
This way he can play around however he wants (installing packages in a container, exposing unprivileged ports, …). And you don’t have to think about his stuff anymore but can watch the struggle.
