This thought was triggered by a comment on an article about Rust: lobste.rs/s/ktwhai/rust_prism#…
To be clear, language complexity isn't a good thing for its own sake. Still, reading that comment made me have that sudden reaction.
This, slightly further down in the comments, along with the idea of Kernighan's Lever, gets to the problem with that sort of flexing:
"This implies that programmers exist in isolation. Most of the code I read was not written by me. If the subset of the language that I stick to is a completely disjoint subset to the one a collaborator sticks to, we can’t review each others’ code. If I jump into a new project and it’s using a distinct subset of the language to the one 1/2
@torvalds on the removal of some [russian] entries from the MAINTAINERS file:
lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-%3Dwh…
"'It's entirely clear why the change was done, it's not getting reverted [...]
[…] the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US thing.
If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. […]
[…] I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be *supporting* Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too."
A friend came to visit me yesterday, and he was sneezing. And I said “is that covid?” And he goes “I don’t think so, it’s just a cold”.
Tested him on the spot.
He had covid.
I really believed something good would’ve come out of this: widespread testing, architectural changes for ventilation in public buildings, rethinking sanitary regulations on food production, work from home as default, universal basic income, etc.
Instead everyone is just trying really hard to forget and pretend it never happened.
I could be wrong about what they're doing, I've only listened to it briefly.
All the people who think calling Trump a fascist is an exaggeration, or just a political attack, should consider something.
Wanting to close the borders, bombing a synagogue, naming left-leaning people as "degenerates" doesn't make you a fascist. Those are just the natural courses of action that the fascist ideas lead you to.
Fascism is a set of ideas and theories. Well defined about a century ago, first in Italy, then mostly in Spain and Germany.
And the thing is that if you read the transcriptions of the speeches the Italian and Spaniard ideologues from the 20 and 30s of the last century, you will be surprised how close they are to the ones by, not only the 2024 unleashed version of Trump, but also from its 2016 tamer version or pretty much most of the mainstream republican party politicians at large.
"Fascist" is not just a generic violent boogie man. It's a very specific set of ideas which are becoming increasingly mainstream among the global right.
Trump is a fascist. Putin is a fascist, even if he pretend to be fighting them in Ukraine. Netanyahu is a fascist even if he shields behind the Holocaust to commit genocide. A fascist is not someone who covers themselves in nazi regalia. A fascist is someone whose ideas match with fascism.

Bear in mind that the difference between a "disposable" vape and a "technically rechargeable" one is basically just the addition of a USB port that had to be intentionally removed from the off-the-shelf electronics used to make it.
Selling "technically rechargeable" devices as cheaply as the "disposable" ones they replace won't fix the problem.
In terms of material use, ten "disposable" vapes are about the technological equivalent of a smartphone.
Imagine a phone you threw over your shoulder after making ten calls.
Now imagine the next "disposable" device that uses the same amount of materials.
We shouldn't be banning individual products. We need a comprehensive Circular Economy Bill that bans ALL products that don't fit strict criteria of sustainability, reuse, repair, remanufacture and compostability.

Hello!
Who knows how do I pin a package to a specific version in #archlinux? Something like apt's package pinning in Debian.
Why? I don't want to update my kernel to newest versions where the team just silently removed more than 10 Russian developers from maintainers list. This is not fair and I will stay on honest versions with honest maintainers list.
Russell Contreras zeroes in on findings of the PRRI "Challenges to Democracy" study. Who, precisely wants to round up immigrants and put them into camps?
79% of Republicans vs. 22% of Democrats
75% of white evangelicals
61% of white Catholics
58% of white mainline Protestants

As Moira Donegal reminds us, Trump's plan to round up immigrants, put them into camps, and deport them is a "moral abomination," no matter how many white Christians lust for it and how the corporate media whitewash it.
"What is being proposed is a vast cruelty, a human tragedy, and a costly national investment in racism."

Let's restart the highscore thread again, people are saying it got too long. End of the previous thread: mk.nyaa.place/notes/9zoixlwqn6…
So I figured out how to keep touchpads working in gamepad mode ^^ It involved reverse engineering the payload for the ID_SET_DIGITAL_MAPPINGS feature report - neither SDL nor kernel driver do it, so I didn't have any reference this time.
Anyway, now touchpads are fully working, with the same behavior as for Steam's gamepad action set - right touchpad moves pointer and does a left click on press, left touchpad does a right click on press and that's it. I'm not sure why it doesn't also scroll, but I wanted to keep it consistent (steam's desktop action set scrolls it and middle clicks on press instead, tho it does mean you have to use L2 to right click)
When Steam is running, you still have to switch to gamepad action set or you'll have double input, but I don't think I have any way of mitigating that - oh well. When Steam is not running, it will switch everything automatically at least, so at this point it's probably good enough. I'm yet to find an example of any app doing it well, so I don't think libmanette apps would stand out in a bad way here.
So, at this point I mostly just need to clean up the code and think again about what the public API should look like.
That said, I want to rework libmanette API entirely. It's not in a very good state right now, it's a lot more convoluted than it needs to be.
Alice :neocat_flag_transbian: (@alice)
Ok, now all gamepad input works. I could also really easily hook up accel and gyro, but need to think how to expose them in libmanette first (and we'd probably want to support them for evdev too, we don't atm) On Highscore side, if libmanette report…Nyaa~ Place
Mostly I wanted to keep the
ID_SET_DIGITAL_MAPPINGS structure, as well as general steps documented somewhere online, as it would have helped me a lot. ^^
Do you love and/or hate HoTT or dependent type theory? Come do a Ph.D. with me to develop applications of HoTT to verified functional programming and/or think outside the box about how we can make dependent type theory work better.
I recently received a grant to study the Univalent Verification of Parameterized Structures, and I need Ph.D. students to spend that money on. Application deadline December 15 to start Fall 2025. Lots more info here: carloangiuli.com/pages/phd-rec…
