I’m a software engineering developer from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
I still use Ada daily for my personal projects after having used it at work. I find it compliments my thinking patterns well. My only gripe with it is that they ate too much of their own dog food at AdaCore and now it can be hard to install Ada and gprbuild (due to a circular dependency). Plus gprc stole libgpr and broke some stuff too.
That would be an excellent idea. But I feel like an even broader community should be created. Like a generic book club, but for code bases! Could even have a small handful of different code bases on the go at a time. I’d love to get to know lemmy’s, but also e.g. neovim, or even unciv :)
Maybe one day it could even start tackling Moby Dick!
I did watch it (though not in its entirety before commenting, I did get to that point before commenting). I found his response pretty lackluster. Just because they are (perhaps incorrectly) conflating Israel and Jews doesn’t absolve them of antisemitism, nor any other unchecked prejudice merely on the basis of isolated experience.
It’s one thing if a random member in an interview says “curse the Jews” because every Jew they’ve met has been mean to them (if they’ve met any at all). It’s a whole other thing when what is essentially a (albeit contested) national government does it.
I’m Canadian, and Canada effectively did the same thing with our indigenous population. A few high ranking individuals (with support from religious institutions) decided that official documentation would explicitly state the inferiority of indigenous culture. The result is that regardless of whether the Canadian government was correct or underinformed, they propagated a prejudice that was not based in fact.
Similarly, by merely normalizing such a message on a flag, the Houthi’s can’t get my support as an entity of true international import simply because it almost certainly will lead to at least one person who was not anti-Semitic beforehand becoming anti-Semitic unnecessarily.
Note that is necessary due to current circumstances I will include some context about myself that normally would be irrelevant (ad hominem being fallacious as it is). I transitioned from an ardent pro-israeli to a “get your act together for the sake of your people and others” over the course of the last couple of decades; in no small part due to Netanyahu. I do believe that one can not stand with the Houthi’s and also not stand with the government of Israel in the current situation.
I will admit my initial comment was a tad knee-jerky, but believe me when I say there are many people who would not watch the video, then spread misinformation that the Houthi’s don’t have a problem with the Jews.
This reply is as much a response to you as a bookmark to my future self about the arguments on my mind when I posted the comment.
Their flag literally says “curse the Jews” in Arabic. They aren’t just anti-Zionist, they’re anti-Semitic.

In case anyone wants the real meanings: I am not a lawyer, read the f***ing manual, bank of america.
Beej’s guides are absolute classics. The networking guide is also amazing. Definitely worth the read.
Yeah, that’s pretty much what I was thinking too. The combination of a c API and a JVM API (and maybe .NET if you’re in Microsoft land?) Hits most FFI available in languages I’ve seen. I can’t think of any language I’ve used that couldn’t Interop with either a c library (.a or .so) or JVM library (.jar). However I’ve never used any .NET system seriously, so I don’t know about them.
FWIW I regularly remake the same API based game whenever I start a new job working in a new environment to test that my environment is “up to snuff” with my development methodologies. I’ve never needed to port more than API.a and API.jar to play around in any language. I’ve ported that system to at least 100 languages over the years, and while some have more friction than others, and often the c/JVM paradigm doesn’t line up well with the target language, it is always effective.
I definitely have the soapy gene, but don’t mind the taste. I blame thrills soap gum, I occasionally enjoyed that as a kid. My sister also has the gene and can’t stand the taste.

11 solid yes states. Of course Florida is one too.

If you read the linked document, it outlines how reverse engineering may fall under a certain level of fair use, e.g. for reasearch and/or backup/archival purposes.
It really isn’t as clear-cut as it seems at first.
Great read. Only constructive criticism I have is a pet peeve of mine that is especially prevalent in type theory articles. In particular it may be worth mentioning the more formal names of some of the types discussed. Trying to map Haskell’s types to other languages can be very tricky and can hinder understanding. Mentioning more googleable names like unit, top, bottom, can be helpful in disambiguation which characteristics are intrinsic to the Haskell type, versus which are properties of the type system in general.
Wait until you learn about the shell specific /dev “files” like /dev/udp and /dev/tcp (which can send/recv IP traffic as if from a file)!
I use fslint myself. Basically a linter for files :)
