I use fslint myself. Basically a linter for files :)

Sadly front end, like "High Level" is a very relative term. For example, in compiler design, the bit that parses code is called the "front end" since the "back end" is what emits machine code. I think that's what they mean here, the "front end" that understands D3D8 code has been added, presumably there is also a "back end" that converts the parsed/analyzed D3D8 code into valid opcodes for consumption by GPU/CPUs.

In the other direction, a UI/UX is sometimes called a "back end" when it is part of a more complex embedded project where physical controls are the "front end".

Why wouldn't a Jew get in the car?

They do list lemmy in the advanced "bubbling under" category. I guess they deem lemmy to be a work in progress, but not tildes?

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.

If you read the readme, this looks like it's specifically for when you don't know the correct tld or spelling of the site you're looking for. Google searches often censor sites of borderline legality, but they'll usually still have Wikipedia articles with accurate links.

This specifically only redirects .idk domains as a search helper. Could it possibly work better as a browser extension? Maybe. :)

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.

My question when I see responses like this is: what genuinely useful new safety features have been added since Ada? It's ancient and has distinct types, borrow checking (via limited types), range types, and even fixed point types. I've always wondered what niche Rust is targeting that Ada hasn't occupied already. It feels like devs decided that safety was important, c/c++ are too unsafe, need a new language; without ever having looked to see if such a language exists?

I'm also wondering what's in the top-left. Is it a bowl of stones?

Wait! I figured it out.

You were close with C-section, but got the direction wrong. Clearly this is getting ready for urgent replacement of gizzard stones! :)

All praise our lord and saviour git rebase -i!

 

Maybe here we can draw the leaf without corrupting it. For reference I scaled the wikipedia picture to 100 pixels wide and anchored the 8 corners of the side borders. Hopefully we can make it look good!

 

I've sunk many hours into the which species is closer related to X, A or B?

 

Hopefully this post works, first time posting on jerboa.
