I never really worked much with rpm-ostree, besides a short stint with Bazzite. But never really customized it, so I don’t really know how that experience is. But I would encourage you to look into NixOS (or something else not image based) whenever you feel to experiment with another immutable. It’s very nice for servers.

You don’t have to reboot to adjust configuration or update. At least not with NixOS, don’t know much about other immutables.

Why not an immutable OS for servers? It seems like an even better choice for servers than for a desktop to me. It’s basically just like docker/containers but for your whole OS, configuration-wise.

I love my declarative NixOS servers/systems, and would never go back to imperative setups, it just seems archaic. The only exception I have (for now) is my pfSense router, as I don’t trust myself enough to setup a secure router.

Probably bleached too much? She always strikes me as uncanny because she comes across as the female Zuckerberg to me.

If string return nan, else % 2

So now you return a number type if it’s a string and a boolean if it’s an integer. How does that make sense?

The is-even lib exists to sanitize input by throwing an exception which imho is better.

Edit: having looked at the code better. Apparently it still allows string coercion (boo). It only checks for non integer numbers.

To be fair in a dynamic typed language with dumb string to int coercions, I kinda get why such a library would exists. So it’s more a symptom of terrible language design than modern dependency hell.

I did, but I couldn’t remember it. so thanks!

In c style languages, Java, c++, rust, etc.

And when the store smashes the target the manager gets a nice bonus, and the employees who actually did anything can be happy with a free pizza slice.

I think it’s a fair strategy. If they know what happens if you do it wrong people suddenly complain less about rust’s borrow checker. Whereas people who are only used to garbage collected language don’t usually have the slightest clue why it works the way it does.

I was impressed too, must people jump to gnome, KDE or xfce first. But straight to a tiling window manager. Good on you! I would never go back to a floating window manager now, wish I had discovered it straight away

Thanks! I’m on ING now and every time i look it up for ING i get conflicting answers, Probably because it differs for each country they operate in (and people don’t always specify). I’ll look into the other ones.

Can you elaborate which banks those were? Or you if there is a curated list of banks that work on custom ROMs?

This so true, every one complaining that the borrow checker is annoying isn’t apparently aware what they used to do was inherently flawed. Sure there a some, though rare, false positives. But they are easily mitigated. These people are exactly that what they themselves are complaining about, elitist.

Exactly, if garbage collection meant memory safety then why do we get null pointer exceptions about every 5 minutes in Java. Garbage collection is about memory leaks, not safety. Imho the borrow checker is a better solution than garbage collection and faster to boot.

It’s been about 20 years since I’ve touched PHP. So i don’t remember all the problems i had with it.

But some language from those times were at least consistent with itself and clearly more thought-out. Even though they might miss some of the nicety we’ve come to like nowadays. Of course for web development there weren’t many better choices back then.

But I’m heavily skewed towards non-oo, static typed, explicit languages so PHP was probably never for me.

I somewhat know the history of PHP and how it came to be. And that it was just a personal project that suddenly got big. So I don’t blame the creator. But that still doesn’t make it a good language.

Let’s be honest though. The early PHP versions were absolute dog shit. And the definition of how not to design a programming language. That said, that never stopped anyone in web development from using it apparently. No clue what modern PHP looks like, apparently it’s better now.

If you can’t figure out how to build a tent (in the dark or not), camping clearly is not for you, or anything that requires the mental capability of an adult for that matter. That shit really is not hard.
