  • It can happen to others too. When I used Raspbian, two times (iirc) the upgrade process to the new major version broke while installing libc and so the system was bricked afterwards.

    I think I read somewhere that the recomended upgrade process is to reinstall the system. How bad must updates be implemented in this case?





  • While Pomni is the hesitant type from time to time, she is also energic and not afraid of using her brain. So I think something like Fedora is more fitting for her. Gets the job done while allowing tinkering.

    Mint on the other hand I would assign to Gangle. Calm and hard to break.







  • I had a quick look at it. It request your credit card details + account balance. The API has no real validation, so we could probably spam their database with the Beemovie script xD \ After submittimg data, you get insulted in (I guess) russian.

    It even has a support chat. But it locks up after the scam “completes” and the link seems to be single-use. So I was not able to check if they plugged a LLM behind it.

    Update: the link works again after deleting cookies. I was not able to get the chat to generate anything. Maybe a real person is wasting their time there, lol.






  • A good question, as I like it and don’t like it. It is without a doubt better than dynamic types.

    On the pro side it removes redundant writing the type again and again. On the con side it is almost impossible to see what type with what functions the variable in front of you has without an IDE (which you don’t have without cloning the repo) or without an already deep knowledge of the code.

    Same with extension functions (free functions which can be added to a type almost anywhere in the codebase). Very useful (Kotlin is a great example for this) but also confusing when you want to hunt down where this piece of code is coming from.


  • I really don’t like comparing languages by Hello World complexity. You could use a lang which needs 3 chars to print it but sucks at everything else but it would still look better at first glance.

    As for this specific comparison: let the project grow to only midsize and you will crave for static types and well separated classes.
