As someone just learning Go, the current behaviour is really unexpected. I’m happy that they are changing it.

I’m envious of people who can use modern Java. We’re still on the #roadto11 from Java 8. It’s good though that newer versions are incremental. The path to upgrades should be simpler.

I can’t seem to access https://literature.cafe as well. Was there any communication about that?

The Google Play Store uses a technique called delta patching to calculate the diff server side and avoid transferring parts of the app that haven’t changed since your original installation.

This is understandably not perfect because they want to avoid load on their servers and also the extra processing on your device to “unpack” it. So what you have is a happy medium between sending the entire app again and sending strictly the diff.

Oh! I missed that. This sounds much nicer. Probably not for /c/rust though. Like someone else said, this community already has good engagement. I think you should target large non-technical subreddits like AITA. Those will take time to pick up on Lemmy.

Have you checked out https://lemmit.online?

I don’t know how i feel about a bot posting content from Reddit. Your project legit looks cool, but I personally block lemmit because these posts give me the feeling of abandoned cities. I was on reddit for the discussions. Same for lemmy. Posts without comments are boring.

React and Vue already have lots of libraries, components, and know-how. You can also move from CSR to SSR and back depending on your requirements.

Now just add an option to chat and we’re good to axe YT Music.

That’s true, and you can also combine multiple errors to have a single catch block or handle each error separately. The perfect dataset for this comparison will need to be written. Code golf data is good enough for a non-academic fun analysis like this one.

I think code golf is a great dataset for this kind of analysis specifically because they are artificial and people are paying attention to the number of characters used. Leetcode solutions might be a better option though.

In real world projects there are too many confounding factors. People aren’t implementing servers in brainfuck or websites in C. Even rewrites of a project into another language have more/fewer features. So it’s an apples to oranges comparison.

It doesn’t look half-bad but i would rather have roughly the same firefox interface on every OS than have it customized for gnome as it appears here.

Even when running an instance for yourself, you’re not really safe. The threat to your privacy goes from being a third party in control of your data to your own operational inexperience.

I tried to host my own personal Lemmy instance and ran into a lot of issues hosting it. On the one hand you want to be safe by restricting unnecessary access, but on the other hand you have no idea why federation doesn’t work, or the postfix-relay docker cannot send an email, or why you cannot ssh into your own host, so you want to just allow everything and just get it to work somehow. In the end, unless you are already an expert at this stuff, trying to host your personal instance safely is a tall task.

It’s also going to be very costly. Especially for an image sharing website like Pixelfed.

Maybe there is a market for self-service managed hosts like we have with Wordpress blogs.

 

I have been reading the English translations and the characters and especially their dialogues feel very fake. I do appreciate the hard science aspect of the books but the long monologues, kids speaking like middle-aged philosophers, and army personnel being one-dimensional macho men breaks the immersion for me. It has the depth of a 1980s low-budget thriller.

I don’t read a lot of hard science fiction or translations of Chinese books. I don’t know if this is genre-related.

 

This is disheartening. Not having local semiconductor production is a liability. I hope we get some capabilities soon.
