Nice!

Just good news about FOSS, lol. I’m not looking for software here, just a reminder that not all is lost in the movement.

Nice! I use Tor Browser anyway, but it’s good to see not everything Divested did is lost.

I feel like that list would be ridiculously long.

Yes! Writing software has no barrier to entry besides skills. Hosting something costs.

Yes. Sending it now by PM to not make things too easy for YouTube. Even it requires a few tries, though.

Are you aware of one that takes place completely within fractions of a few select types? Usually they’re continuous.

I can think of some that are all integers, but I covered that in the edit.

You could choose a subset of fractions, though, and then round it to the nearest one. Maybe you could use powers of two as the denominator for easy hardware implementation. Oh wait, we’ve just reinvented floats.

Which they tend to do a lot. Like, the moment a square root or trig function shows up.

Even without it’s pretty easy to overflow a fraction stored the way you’re describing. x=1/(x*x+1) does it in log time. There’s really not a lot of situations where exact fractions work, but purely symbolic logic wouldn’t. Maybe none, IDK.

Edit: I mean, I guess it’s all symbolic. What I’m trying to say is that if you’re at a level of detail where you can keep track of the size of denominators, native support for a type that hides them is counterproductive. It’s better to lay out your program in such a way that you just use small integers, which is guaranteed to be possible in that case.

If I ever get around to writing my own language, it’s going to take parse trees off the disk, so people can deparse them into whatever they want and STFU.

I wouldn’t put it past them. The one I saw climb into the hay loft on an upright human ladder knew what it was doing. Ditto for the time they excavated out a secret base under the deck and started laying eggs inside.

Never a dull moment with those guys.

Flying short distances and ability to expand your neck like 4x also looks cool.

Like the cow one that’s just a sequence of differently-capitalised moos.

Old silicon, like IBM or something?

I’m not involved enough to really comment on that, but it’s not a 14 year old joke as much as a 1 or 2 year old joke if so.

Glad to hear it’s taking off. Hopefully browsers migrate to supporting it natively and depreciating JavaScript next.

Now the trick is to get through the resume filter, and make sure this guy interviews you. Then, FAANG job FTW.

Few people use just Typescript, though - there’s always dangerously exposed native libraries in the mix.

Look at those butthurt downvotes, haha. Currently 2 - 4.

Let me reach around mine to give you an upvote.

If a chicken could code, it would probably work like JavaScript. This is accurate.

When I had a flock, for example, sometimes one would flip over a bucket onto itself and then decide it must be night and go to sleep.

Hmm. Where are you? That could make sense if you’re in the third world.

In Canada it’s around and mainstream, although not ubiquitous.
