How the heck does a Makefile not scale??? That’s all it does!
I make things: electronics and software and music and stories and all sorts of other things.
How the heck does a Makefile not scale??? That’s all it does!
Life is and will always be better writing your own Makefiles. It’s literally so easy. I do not get the distaste. Cmake is arcane magic. Bazel is practically written in runes. Makefile is a just a glorified build script, but where you don’t have to use a bunch of if statements to avoid building everything each time.
And yeah I know about NixOS but I like to distro hop and experiment
If you know about NixOS, then you probably know this, but Nix, the package manager/the language behind NixOS, is cross-platform.
I daily drive NixOS, but I also use Nix (and home-manager) on my Fedora music laptop, my Ubuntu home file-server, and my work Windows machine (WSL) to install and configure neovim automatically instead of copying a config, installing all the packages, and running check health over and over again until everything is set up.
I just copy my neovim.nix file over (also other things like zsh.nix) and run home-manager switch
You don’t have to use NixOS to take advantage of its benefits.
Ext4 bc of its speed for games and my main files. Btrfs on the root for compression
It’s a bit more than iced as they’ve created a library on top of it, esp for the theming they desire
Build a project. Learn how to do each step by searching the internet. It’s quite literally that easy.
For C++, yes. But “reference” is just a way of using the pointer when it comes to C
You can use VS Code and Vim/Neovim for any language, as well as document writing and basic text editing. Just search for Go plugins
It shouldn’t be hard to use either. If it is, you’re doing something wrong probably
In case you’re interested, the language is a derivative of an esolang I made called NaBD. The idea was a Turing tarpit but for functional languages. What’s the minimal I could get by with and still feel like a real language? (And no, not just lambda calculus; needed a real implementation)
I realized this sort of stripped-down functional language would make a great basis for a graphical programming language, something I’ve wanted to make for a while, so I set out to refine and remake it into just that.
That’s why the syntax is a little bizarre, bc it mimics the flow of graphical blocks. It also is very simple. Every function has one input and one output with no first class funcs/currying. It’s also statically typed.
Here’s a truth-machine (doesn’t work yet bc I haven’t implemented some of the standard functions; it does parse and type check tho at least):
truth_mach :: Num -> Num =
{ inp -> bool,
1 -> str -> print -> truth_mach,
0 -> str -> print } -> if.
main :: <<Char>> -> Num = read -> parse -> truth_mach.
It will also support the C ABI via extern_c name_of_lib : name_of_function :: Type -> Type.
This is not implemented yet either.
ctrl + x => :wqa

Just switched to LibreWolf/Mull + KeePassXC/KeePass2Android
Tuta Mail for personal
Thunderbird/K-9 (mobile) for my work’s gmail since the gmail website is garbage
Nvidia and Wayland is still BORKED
Nope
Having used OS X, there is no way they’ve done usability testing. Doing basically everything is hard on OS X
They should be worried. We don’t want them comfortable.
So many negative things have entered our culture bc people don’t care about dangers. Nearly every app should have a warning
Fr even some of the first few comments are totally unhinged
Post title is misleading as he’s not really the one causing the drama.
The mods gave him a 6-week suspension, and now it’s up, so he requested his access back. Nothing unusual
The drama comes from people who just hate the guy and are screaming about letting him back. His response to that was then very cordial and just calling out them for being to aggressive.
I’m not taking a stance on whether his suspension should become a ban or whether he’s gonna change or whatever; I’m just saying it’s simply false to say he’s continuing to cause the drama and problems when all he did was ask to get his commit access back and tell his haters they’re being assholes
Why use Julia when Rust is so much better?
You can build with mingw64 built with msvc and use more or less the same Makefile. As for Xcode… well, there’s not really a good reason to support Mac. On principle I wouldn’t even try
