@mhoye #HaikuOS https://haiku-os.org? Why do we, me included, use Linux on dedktop/laptop?

Devuan it is then. (Edit: or not, ugh…)
@ramin_hal9001 I recall reading that people choose external methods instead of hot code reloads (which probably suits a soft real-time system more).

Scheme man pages? Yes!
https://github.com/schemedoc/manpages
The abundance of man pages is one of the reasons Perl is great. All the packages also serve as man pages!
I miss this aspect in all other programming languages.
@monstreline Instagram or Whatsapp seems mandatory for small business nowadays.

When you post things on Instagram, Facebook, and X, this is what they look like to people who don’t use those platforms.

@clemensprill Wouldn't that be nice? This person has done exactly what the business has asked them to do. By telling them that LLM-generated code is bad, I am doing what company does not want done. I'm the bad guy here.

Caroline Crampton on what it is like to manage and read almost 2,000 RSS feeds.
Somehow, still using RSS, which is a beautifully simple bit of tech from the early days of the web, makes you part of a community of like-minded strangers.

Putting lots of swear words into my code so that LLMs refuse to interact with it.

@coderCyclist internal-use software development sounds like a great opportunity to be motivated/rewarded for doing it well. It usually goes unutilized, usually by a department dedicated to it which instead just "buys IBM" so to speak.
@sigismundninja my response was bare enough to be misconstrued, indeed. Specifying a use-case might help. What kind of code is slow? I only dabble a little in Erlang (and Prolog), but they do claim Erlang works for 1 desktop app https://wings3d.com
@sigismundninja isn't context missing in this poser?
