Is it surprising that a “worse” language won, when Scala kept making one strategic blunders after another for more than 10 years?

It’s not as if they didn’t know they were making costly mistakes, they just didn’t care.


Absolutely wild that apparently some people thought this was a good idea.

What a fucking retard that guy is.


Nvidia’s poor Linux support has been a thing for decades.

If at all, the situation has recently improved. And that only after high-profile Linux developers telling Nvidia to get their shit together.



Sadly, the developers of these apps can’t even be bothered to not dump random folders into $HOME. 🤷


Is the link correct?

The website tries selling something, but I can’t decipher what exactly. Certainly does not seem ESP32- or Arduino-related.


I tried it and moved the directory. Results:

  • Firefox opens, settings from the profile are still there.
  • Empty ./mozilla/extensions directories are recreated on startup.
  • Firefox cannot show any websites anymore.

Yikes.


Always good to know that after sitting on it for 2 decades, shipping some half-assed shit was the best they could do.



Considering how they fuck up everything they touch, is this more of a sabotage?



Ok, didn’t want to discourage you!

Might be useful to some, but the underlying assumption that “more features = better” is questionable in general.

What an absolute bunch of nonsense.

If that’s were your performance problems come from, you are either a junior developer yourself or using some PHP-quality framework written by juniors.


I’m working on Core whose primary design goal is to not invent any new features, but implement existing things correctly.

The grammar is implemented with recursive-descent, one could define an equivalent EBNF, but I haven’t found the need to do so yet.


Working on my programming language, and improving some blog posts of mine. :-)


It’s interesting to me, because I wrote an article giving an overview of the possible combinations mentioned in his blog post a few years ago.
