In my fortress there is problem, and that problem is transport. It take very long to mine, because the mine is big.

Just sell them your wooden furniture and, if they get offended, release the animal traps

It’s an old expression from Dwarf Fortress :-)

(though I have not played in years)

amen

It is my biggest wish to one day contribute to the linux kernel. What a crowning achievement of humanity that has been

Sometimes a Fey mood takes me and a fun idea grabs hold of me so hard that I program day and night for days until I run out of steam and wonder what made the idea so great.

Usually though, my programming consists of patching things broken by a library update. Whoops there goes my desktop. Whoops there goes my dashboard. An hour here, an hour there.

I’ve gotten into microcontrollers and zigbee devices these days, and this is turning into a gentle interest I can tinker with

Just bear in mind that uid 1001 on one machine is not generally uid 1001 on another, and that if you copy the tar off machine you’re more than likely giving permission to somebody other than the intended target

“How many times are you going to run this, and how many in parallel?”

“Just once, and exactly one.”

“Better make a full OO class for it.”

a lot of suspicuously missing lisps

Big Endian    Little Endian:
 
 "1010"         "1010"
  ||||           ||||
 [1248]         [8421]

 (sum the numbers 
  corresponding to a 1)     

 1+4=5          8+2=10

Depending on whether the order of binary comes from the left (Big Endian) or from the right (Little Endian), the binary number of “1010” can equal 5 or 10

(My original comment was buzzword nonsense though)

there must be some noticeable latency on that

It’s little endian, so the beads on the far right are used to outnumber the big endian beads at the top on the woke left. After several computations, the middle section is just gone

Thanks for the extra context, though I’m not sure why Mint had that key by default in their keyserver and Ubuntu doesn’t

Different distirbutrions subscribe to different “key servers” (is that the right term?) to validate that the packages they’re getting have been signed by the right people, and not by Dick Dastardly and his crew. LibreWolf isn’t your typical Linux package, but probably on the same trustworthy level as some of “extra” packages found in other repos. My guess would be Mint subscribes to the key server where the LibreWolf dev’s key exists, and Ubuntu doesn’t because Ubuntu has a very Ubuntu™ way of doing things (I’m being a snob here).

So I think if you really want to use LibreWolf, you will have to manually subscribe to the keyserver where the LibreWolf’s dev key is, or manually import the key yourself to validate the package.

Anyway, welcome to the wacky races

I didn’t, I’m using the current nomenclature: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)#History (last paragraph)

Never got into Haskell, but I was taught Miranda at school and thought it was pretty cool

Yes, we should all use rigid types. Name me one language you actually like writing quickly with that has types?

Pyth-oh. Bash-oh. Lisp-oh. Perl-oh. Oh yeah… typed languages suck because of all the boiler

Edit: Fine, Python / Lisp / Perl are all technically “typed” languages, but I ask you what’s point of throwing type errors at runtime. Javascript and Rust actually have it right here that the code is either going to run, or it simply isn’t. No pussyfooting letting it run first to throw complaints

i just wish bash had structured data and basic types, that’s it

I just watched this video of Copyparty:

and I can quite solemnly say – as an emacs user mind you – sometimes you just want a self-contained tool under 1MB that does everything

Tux-based 2D super smash type game, but more of an emphasis on physics and destrucitble environments.
