I’m quite skinny and I also think I should exercise more and eat less junk food. There isn’t any fat phobia there, it targeted me just as well.

That’s not too weird, until IntelliJ added its lite editor, it was the same way for many years.

Cargo is really simple, which is great, but also limiting. Maven is much more complex, but for good reason - there’s use cases, especially around multi-artifact projects and version sharing, where cargo would require either some glue or you run into some interesting edge cases. Usually, Rust isn’t used for the kinds of big, wacky projects with a million dependencies that companies write in Java/Kotlin, so those kinds of use cases are considered more unusual.

Gradle, in my opinion, makes itself complex because it’s all code, is very brittle, and several of its features just don’t work right and require workarounds. When it works, it builds fast and it works well, but getting it to work, and how often you have to get it to work again…not worth it.

I love the Lua one because it’s so true, LuaJIT is magic and Mike Pall is the only one who understands it as its creator.

Uhh, I was referring to the new ones France has been building, not the old ones…

In France. They standardized the designs so each one isn’t a one-off and they trained more people to work in the field.

Do you have any evidence that there’s a pervasive effort from third party repair to mine your privacy for profit? I’d love to see it.

Also, fine, let’s assume they have no way of knowing it’s genuine. Why don’t they release the tool to pair the OEM screens publicly? It’d only work on the real ones, and they have such a tool, so if it’s actually about security, there’s no reason not to.

You know what’s funny? It’s not the independent repair shops stealing your data, it’s the “official” ones. https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/7/22522560/apple-repair-multimillion-iphone-nude-photos-privacy-settlement-pegatron

Those “bootleg” screens often are genuine, but Apple makes features not work unless paired. You can literally swap the screens of two fresh out of the box iPhones and they won’t work. Swap them back, they work fine. Don’t defend their practices, and don’t believe the lies about repair they’ve been feeding you for years.

Storing an AST would be interesting, but it’d require the IDE to support parsing each specific language, so you’d probably want something like an LSP but for just parsing to handle that.

So, I think it depends on what you want out of the tag system. If you want it to be a global tag that tags a post similar to how they’re used on tumblr or something like that (I.E: Has meaning not specific to the community it is in), that should be separate from per-community tags, like they’re done on reddit.
I think per-community tags should definitely be added, similar to how reddit does them (for a good example of how they are used, see /r/talesfromtechsupport). Global tags, I’m not as sure, and if they are added, I think they should be separate from the per-community ones.
My hesitation for the global tags is that it will create meta-communities, similar to what happens on tumblr, which blurs the line between communities, which makes moderation a little weird.

Okay, that one is hard to grok either way. Confinity and x.com merged, the resulting company, still Confinity, made Elon the CEO, where he was 6 months later fired for incompetence. Elon was the founder of x.com, but not Confinity, so it’s more about how pedantic you want to be than anything else. Did the Confinity people found paypal, was it Thiel, under whom the name paypal came about, was it Musk? There’s not really a clear answer one way or the other.
