I mean assuming you have nothing else except the OS on it fair enough I guess

You’re right. It actually has less content than any mobile game except cookie clicker (and even then it’s arguable cookie clicker has more content). In reality this should fit on an 8gb phone from 2010 because it is literally just a single image of a banana that you click on.

I assumed this is a Pizza Hut based on the roof but they still exist so I’m not sure it fits?

I like the version of this meme that’s a picture of a building with an outline of a former Sears logo on the front

I love falling asleep 1-2 hours after getting in bed and then waking up an hour before my alarm 🙃. I can’t help much I can relate!

I did this but I fell asleep an hour after I got in bed and woke up an hour before my alarm and have been sitting here for the past hour trying to fall back asleep. Why am I like this 🙃

25565 also gets a decent amount of malicious traffic because of Minecraft though. I’d recommend switching the port to something different at the very least. When I hosted a server for the first time on 25565 my router pretty immediately gave me warnings about attempted network traffic coming from Europe/Asia when I (and everyone I gave the IP to) live in the US.

TypeScript is still built on JavaScript, all numbers are IEEE-754 doubles 🙃

Edit: Actually I lied, there are BigInts which are arbitrarily precise integers but I don’t think there’s a way to make them unsigned. There also might be a byte-array object that stores uint8 values but I’m not completely sure if I’m remembering that correctly.

The way I was taught was that you usually start off with only an interface and then implementing classes, and then once you have multiple similar implementations it could then make sense to move the common logic into an abstract class that doesn’t get exposed outside of the package

That might be an opinion (it’s not, “most likely” means they aren’t sure about a claim, not that the claim is an opinion), but even if it were if would be completely wrong. Lemmy.ml is, after all, owned by Dessalines, one of the creators of Lemmy, afaik does not live in China.

.ml is definitely a pretty authoritarian instance though and denying the Uyghur genocide in China seems to be a pretty common take there.

Mass adoption doesn’t necessarily mean Linux newbie. NixOS seems to be targeting the DevOps crowd with its stability/immutability – that is, people who would be comfortable building their system from a config file that doesn’t have a UI. They’re already basically doing that with other tools.

Roblox is significantly older than Minecraft (2006 vs. 2009/2011 depending on where you start counting) so the optimistic part of me thinks people won’t talk about Roblox like that.

🙃 (it was over 100 earlier today, I’m on the east coast US)

You know what I’d really love nothing more than to do over Thanksgiving and spring break? Multiple CS assignments all conveniently given right before the break and due right after! Free time? Time with family? What’s that?

Honestly if it weren’t for the headache of some software still not ported over to arm 4 years later, Macs would be pretty good for software development since they have a lot of the POSIX tooling.

For the same reason I have windows so that games will “just work,” I have Linux so my programming setup will “just work.” Low level languages like C/C++ are so much easier to work with on Linux.

In steam at least there’s a setting to add a separate steam library at another folder. You can make that folder on your other drive and then have new games install there by default.

Technically I think python already has an intermediate step that it uses before it starts running a script that compiles it into a lower-ish language (at least the cpython interpreter does this, it probably isn’t a part of the language specification though)

The actual line between JIT languages and interpreted languages is pretty thin since I think most interpreted languages do something similar to minimize the amount that needs to be done at runtime

Screw it. Let’s actually make python script an ISA that gets run on physical hardware with no higher level tooling. Then we can have the python virtual environment which runs this for fools who don’t have the right hardware. Finally, when people start complaining about naming we make Python Script 2.1, which is a JIT language built on top of IL that looks nothing like either of them but can emulate both python and python script with the performance cost of being a quarter as fast as both.

Among us chip bags??? GET OUT OF MY HEAD

I just want developers to consider their deployment environment and maybe generate and include more capable, POSIX BB instead of just choosing the smallest and most useless.

This is completely fair, but the only example you gave to show this was about regexp in OpenWRT, and it seems from the other comments like there are several ways to go about doing this. You mentioned half of your RAM being free, but on the flip side of that, something with half as much RAM or less would be struggling a lot more. Admittedly I don’t know much about OpenWRT but routers aren’t exactly known for being powerful systems, so to me this seems like a perfect use case for a leaner set of utilities.

To your other point, languages like Python and Lua might not technically be everywhere but it they are common enough and simple enough to learn that you really are holding yourself back by avoiding them. Lua in particular is used by a lot of Linux projects (e.g. Neovim and Awesome WM are the most recent that I’ve used but there are tons of others) because of how easy it is to embed a configuration/plugin API into existing codebases.

Tldr; you’re being dissed because the only example you gave about BusyBox being overused is (on the surface at least) a valid use case with easy solutions that you seem to be intentionally ignoring.

To be fair learning lua isn’t exactly a hard process, there’s a reason it’s embedded into so many other tools. If you’re familiar with python you’re like 85% of the way to writing something basic anyway.
