- Comment on The Top Programming Languages 2023 1 year ago:
You can embed scripts in many mainstream distributions of it, and it’s arguable that writing an SQL instruction is in itself writing a concise program for reviewing a database, so it seems logical to me.
- Comment on The Top Programming Languages 2023 1 year ago:
Not unheard of. I used to be one.
- Comment on I'll just sort it myself 1 year ago:
JavaScript is what’s called an “untyped” language, so here, it assumes that the numbers are words, and tries to sort them alphabetically. Specifically, it tries to sort them alphabetically as a dictionary would in a left-to-right language like English. In this case, just as “apple” would come before “asterisk”, 100000 would come before 21.
(Some would argue that it’s more of a “weakly typed” language, I know, but I’m trying not to be pedantic here.)
Sorting them as actual numbers would require some extra explicit instructions and guides. Most typed languages, like C, aren’t like this.

- Comment on Saints Row developer Volition permanently shuts down 1 year ago:
That’s entirely unconfirmed hearsay. He’s also been in this industry since FF6, working with a heck of a lot of people, so it would very much be sudden and unusual.
When a court rules on it, I’ll take it seriously.

Not a Skyrim fan?
- Comment on Saints Row developer Volition permanently shuts down 1 year ago:
In my dreams, Hideo Kojima, the old Castlevania people, the fired senior writers at BioWare, and now, the old gods of Volition when it was good, are quietly building a studio together somewhere. With Mick Gordon and Jeremy Soule running OSTs.

Never tell a joke, if you don’t think it’s funny.

That thing looks like a soda machine toppled onto a pallete jack and spray painted the color of the road…
- Comment on Bleeding edge tech 1 year ago:
Is the litmus test for programmers. When they start referring to “AI” as a clearly defined concept, you know they’re artlessly making shit up for a quick buck.

Easily the format no one’s heard of that you jammed together in your attic when you were twelve.

Followed by a public beating.
- Comment on Exploring the internals of Linux v0.01 1 year ago:
Little note… the author talks about 8 GB… but this was eally 90s. Linus didn’t have eight megabytes of RAM. Gigabytes were unheard of.
- Comment on data secured 1 year ago:
Point here. Running one script is much easier, and more agreeable to company machines, than installing another OS.
That said, I must quote my hero. “Stop being a little bitch. Use Linux.”
- Comment on data secured 1 year ago:
There are actually a few of them alongside Postmarket. LineageOS and its various forks, Ubuntu Touch, KDE Plasma Mobile, Graphene, Replicant… the list goes on!
Unfortunately, I was playing around with them a few years ago and Android phones seem to be a POS to try and switch the OS on. But, it’s clearly done. I’m thinking about at least popping one of them onto an older phone or tablet.

Android has the worst file system interface I’ve ever seen.

“You have so many gigabytes on that disk, and so many different folders… it seems kind of selfish and draconian to insist on just one!”

Just so you know how it feels about this particular success…

You’ve totally lost me.
