Is it weird that I have no memory of what tableware we used? Most of my childhood is missing from my memory actually.

Maybe some people will use this to actually stay off the site.
Probably not many, but any new attrition is good.

Interesting. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, I appreciate it!

That makes sense as to why Mozilla would be developing rust, then, thank you :)
One last (probably) follow-up question - is the payment to those companies for support purposes, or is it a license to even use the language? Like if you write your whatever in one language and then decide to swap…… umm… service providers I guess (maybe MSP situation?), do you need to re-write your entire whatever to no longer use it, or do you just no longer have support for issues?

Excellent thanks, I’ll look into that, and thank you for the information :)
You say “we” which hints that you have (some?) experience in the field, do you have any insight as to why one would want to create a new language rather than just helping to refine an existing one or something? Do they end up too bloated or do they function inherently differently or some other thing I haven’t thought of…?
- Comment on Servo: A new, independent Web Browser Engine (the core of a web browser) written in Rust. 5 days ago:
Interesting, thanks for the response, that gives me something to look for :)
And yeah, that last bit does rather sound likely ;)

I don’t think that’s true on a site like Lemmy, where you have a -lot- of hardcore techies interacting with non-techies and encouraging them to learn. And also just non-techies constantly exposed to info about tech. There’s so much tech stuff here it’s impossible to avoid.
As a direct result of being on Lemmy, I’m familiar with rust (vaguely, but I know there are projects to re-code stuff in rust, and that it’s supposed to be a more robust language for… reasons), and care enough to read about it when there are posts I can understand about it (my tech level is sort of… on the low end of intermediate) but I don’t know anything about how web browsers work, because it’s just never come up.

This makes me really curious in a way I’m not really sure how to search for (and I certainly don’t expect you to have an answer, but maybe someone does)…
How does one actually go about developing a new coding language? I assume it’s something that you need to…… translate to assembly in some way (I’m not advanced techie, but my understanding is that at core everything is assembly, and code languages are on top of that)? And what’s the purpose of developing more languages anyway?
- Comment on Is there a formalized ban appeal process for the fediverse? Do I just direct message a mod? 6 days ago:
Oof yeah I saw those comments…
I don’t blame them for dropping the banhammer considering their instance rules and how strictly they enforce them (even if I don’t necessarily agree with some of the enforcement).

Just put a wick in the jar you pour strained bacon grease into. I’m sure that would work.
Probably.
Hmm… now I’m wondering if it would…

Too much life in the eyes, too much color in the skin.
- Comment on Thanks, brain 3 weeks ago:
Test taking is a skill all its own. It shouldn’t be, but man I have slacked so many classes because I have that skill.
The best class I ever had, a course on the physics behind the functionality of renewable energy systems, the professor would give you the equation if you couldn’t remember it. You’d have to go up and talk to him, if you were really struggling, and you needed to know what you were trying to do, but he’d try to hint you through it first, then provide what you were missing. Ultimately he didn’t see students failing on dumb memory stuff as any sort of win for anyone.
As he said, despite being physics, memorizing math, and especially formulae, isn’t the point of the class.
He was my favorite. He wore white socks with soccer ball-patterned sandals every day, with dress pants and a blazer/tie combo, even winter, and rode his bike to campus. Dude was an absolute gem.

That looks just like the call center I used to work in.
So dumb that it’s ai when places like these are everywhere…
- Comment on You never missed anything important 3 weeks ago:
Being productive all the time is for suckers with no actual lives.
Unless you count forming and maintaining social bonds as productive, which it absolutely is, in which case your point is just straight moot.
- Comment on Don't see the problem! 3 weeks ago:
Oh man my chickens get aggressively excited when I find worms and throw them in the run for them. Especially those whopping night crawler bois. They do the keep-away prance with them held aloft and peck at each other about it.
I’ve decided to start vermicompost specifically to raise worms for them to nom, in addition to the cricket and mealworm tanks I’ve got going :)

Ok well that’s definitely not a “usually” situation then.
- Comment on Public service announcement 4 weeks ago:
Excuse me, what?
I’ve never been anally penetrated during a gyno visit, not a single time in many many years. If you have, that’s fucking weird, not at all normal.

Nope, nothing standard about feet, lots of genetic variation! ;)

Is that 7 toes lengthwise or side-by-side? And which American toes? Lady liberty, or a normal human adult, or a child? Perhaps a newborn?
Man I hate our measuring system, it’s so complicated.
- Comment on BzzzzzzZZZZzzzzZZzzzzz Bruv 2 months ago:
I’m chronically online most days and I haven’t seen this on Lemmy yet, nor at all for that matter.
I hate when people whine about seeing stuff multiple times; at least this isn’t a depressing news article being shared in 63 different communities so you have to see the same thing dozens and dozens of times and be reminded how shit everything is…
It’s just a fun little picture with no bad vibes at all. I’m ok with seeing that sort of thing repeatedly.
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 2 months ago:
That assumes black holes aren’t the Big Bang white hole events of new pocket universes of the fizzy foam multiverse.
You could be part of a whole new universe! You wouldn’t know it, but how fun!
- Comment on Eurythmics straight-up kills that guy 3 months ago:
Who wishes sweet dreams instead of seeding their friends and loved ones with dreams?
Whenever I say goodnight to someone I tell them something like “I hope you sleep well and have wonderful dreams of bioluminescent mountain rivers with auroras on the star-lit sky”
And it works about 30% of the time from reports.
- Comment on Biotech uses fermentation to produce milk proteins without cows 4 months ago:
I’ve tried really hard, and sampled many brands, but other than soy in lattes sometimes, I can’t stand plant based milk in my coffee. Some of its fine stuff for other uses, or even just drinking, but it just doesn’t come close to the flavor I like as part of my wake up routine. And if my coffee isn’t good it sours my whole day, just a bit.
I’d love to have something that tastes like milk and feels like milk and does the job of milk, but is vegan.

I’m so much more into the visible hand puppetry. I find that fascinating.
The song is good, but the video style choices are very interesting :)
- Comment on Car 4 months ago:
Transmission fluid is the real “I have no idea what that means” thumbs up.
Because it should hopefully always be clear but it depends where…… and how warm…. And how clean the dipstick was….
(I recently had transmission issues and omfg there isn’t even a light on my car for low transmission fluid wtf??)

Idk why I was expecting anything other than what that comm was, but I’m pleased to have been wrong.
- Comment on It's got electrolytes 4 months ago:
I hate pickles and pickle juice. Always have, always will.
That said, whenever I have bad heartburn, I take a shot of straight pickle juice (the vinegar kind), and it goes away.
- Comment on TOR asking to run snowflake to help Iranians with internet access 4 months ago:
Well I spent the time between when I posted and when you replied looking into various things related to tor, legality, and snowflake more specifically, as well as a bit after your reply since you gave me a couple extra things to look into… (like if there’s a risk of running alongside self-host software like Plex and jellyfin, I didn’t find anything about it so I sort of assume it’s fine…?)…
I didn’t see anything overly bad other than if you yourself use toe, maybe, so took the plunge and… have had a whole two connections already, so yay, I’m a snowflake!
I feel slightly better about myself, like when I started using boinc. :)
- Comment on TOR asking to run snowflake to help Iranians with internet access 4 months ago:
I’m willing to do this but frankly tor intimidates me big time. I don’t know anything about it other than……. Yep that’s it.
I read through the mastodon post, and the project page, and cumulatively I didn’t get any answers.
I assume this is a dark web node sort of thing? Is it safe for me to run the browser extension, like I’m not putting a target on myself or anything? If yes to question 1, but no to question 2, what does put a target?
