palordrolap@fedia.io said in Heroes & Villains of software development: > You don’t know how to do something in raw JavaScript. You’re not even sure you should. You find a library / module / package / whatever-the-name-is-this-week on the Internet. You paste it into your code. Your code now works. Your code is now 1MB larger. This web app is heavy, man.

npm install left-pad :D

Don’t quite understand the JavaScript one.

Definitely an overreaction lol.

But why are you not sold on Gemini? I mean, does it even need selling? Does Gopher need a selling point? They’re both deliberately simple protocols that work basically only on text. Gemini itself was conceived as an alternative to the modern web, deliberately simple in most ways, but not as simple as Gopher.

mwa@thelemmy.club It is certified to be UNIX, yes. But Linux is not UNIX. Not that it would matter if Linux was certified to be UNIX anyhow. UNIX is a certification that you go through and pay for. The kernel beneath is not necessarily binary compatible with other UNIX operating systems.

@ambiguousprops@lemmy.today still an impressive feat, though. Surprised that anything resembling modern software even runs on a system that old now. Probably requires an ancient kernel version and other things. Is there anywhere where they detail this process more specifically? (I only had time to skim the article)

I am using Futo Keyboard. Downloaded it when it was marketed as open source. Unfortunately found out a few days ago it isn’t actually open source. It’s still a damn good keyboard, but it’s still unfortunate. AGPL exists for a reason. Oh well.

Tried one of the universal blue images on a Chromebook. It was nice. But it didn’t contain the scripts/configs to make the audio work. So that was that!

I like the concept, though.

@szicari@programming.dev it should be noted that they’re shutting down the open source project. However, a fork is apparently forming. But it’s good to know.
