Code goes in the Developer folder

(I got used to that name on macOS, where it is the “canonical” name for it, because it automatically gets a special icon)

Write it yourself next time instead of generating it.

When I was young I thought “who needs 3 computers at once ?”

Now I get it.

The real question is : Why did you invite anyone over, before having a guest VLAN set up ? Classic beginner mistake.

I am very annoyed that I have to enable cloudflare’s JavaScript on so many websites, I would much prefer if more of them used Anubis so I didn’t have third-party JavaScript running as often.

( coming from an annoying user who tries to enable the fewest things possible in NoScript )

I use ed too…

Except I have alias ed=$EDITOR and export EDITOR=nvim in my .zshrc x)

JavaScript is great for making websites !

Yes and no. “Real” programmers care about engineering choices ; and JS is the cardboard of programming languages.

Perfect for packaging (which in this metaphor is UI), horrible for building a bridge with. And vice-versa, I wouldn’t try and make amazon packaging out of reinforced concrete.

JavaScript really depends on the people writing it restricting themselves to a sane (ish) subset, just like C++

My personal gripe with JavaScript is how horribly slow it is. C++ at least has the merit of being fast once compiled. I wouldn’t feel great contributing to a JS project knowing fully well that a rewrite in a faster language would be 10x as effective as anything I could improve as is.

On the power user side, the nice thing about NixOS is rhat moving your config to another computer or server gets you a perfect clone, every time.

If you could go and muck around in there, this promise would be lost. Immutability makes it rock solid reliable.

The perfect setup is a journey, not a destination. You will never be “done”, so enjoy the process.

Besides the privacy implications : trying to protect children from grooming by forbidding specific apps, is like trying to treat chickenpox with concealer.

The real problem is that our society is even producing people who would groom a child.

But as always, politicians will try to “prevent” crime at the latest possible point in the action chain, instead of going back to the source.

I dont want to understate the fact that going to the source is extremely hard to do in many cases ; but maybe people would be less disinterested in politics, if we were actually choosing between different treatments - instead of different brands of concealer - to treat our various collective cases of chicken pox.
