and like a goddamn fiddle!

Funny thing is that when the creators of the language told H.C.'s widow about it, she said he never really was fond of his name.

There’s a linux port for the SGI file browser featured in the movie: https://fsv.sourceforge.net/ ---- haven’t run it in ages, though; I don’t know if it’s still functional.

Yes, just as GNOME stands for GNOME has NO MErcy.

Yeah, I mean all vertebrates are A digit creatures in their front set of limbs.

lemmy is already written in rust, though.

Amateurs. I got 0 during the last 42 years.

My experience is very limited, especially on GTK3; but I think GTK4 really streamlined listview/model operations, especially with the newly introduced GtkExpression, & the ability to bind GObject properties to expressions that the toolkit will figure out when to evaluate & plug in.

The following blog entries help establish the fundamental concepts pretty well, I think: https://blog.gtk.org/2020/06/07/scalable-lists-in-gtk-4/ https://blog.gtk.org/2020/06/08/more-on-lists-in-gtk-4/ https://blog.gtk.org/2020/09/08/on-list-models/ — but the crux of the matter really is GObject, & signalling; & ToshioCP’s tutorial fills an important gap in the existing body of documentation.

Also, the Lists section on the Gtk4 Demo app is really helpful (e.g., the comments on the ‘Clocks’ example explain how to use GtkExpression really well: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/main/demos/gtk-demo/listview_clocks.c?ref_type=heads#L2 ).

– EDIT: Also, I think the new GJS ‘GTK4 Book’ does a good job explaining the new widgets & data structures – so even if you aren’t using the JS bindings, the code examples can be helpful: https://rmnvgr.gitlab.io/gtk4-gjs-book/application/list-widgets/ ; I never used GJS (just C, and pygobject); but the GJS book helped me quite a bit wrt the ListStore, and setting up DBus connectivity:

Not an answer to the question, but the ‘ToshioCP’ tutorials on gtk4 & gobject have been very helpful to me, to wrap my mind around the relevant concepts in C: https://github.com/ToshioCP/Gtk4-tutorial; https://github.com/ToshioCP/Gobject-tutorial — the gobject tutorial is probably even more helpful than the gtk4 tutorial, as it explains signal handling etc.

Where’s the ‘PtrSc’ key? On Peter’s keyboard presumably.

OK, but are they taking into account the energy expenditure of the programmer’s brain while writing the program? The amount of calories his/her brain has to burn in order to produce & debug the code?

NAND and XOR aren’t equivalent, though

| X | Y | X NAND Y |
| 0 | 0 | 1        |
| 1 | 0 | 1        |
| 0 | 1 | 1        |
| 1 | 1 | 0        |

| X | Y | X XOR Y |
| 0 | 0 | 0       |
| 1 | 0 | 1       |
| 0 | 1 | 1       |
| 1 | 1 | 0       |

& XOR can be reduced to NAND; not sure if NAND can be reduced to XOR

You mean NAND gates?

(Trick NAND Trick) NAND (Treat NAND Treat) <-> Trick or Treat

I mean, this is cringe AF.

Kotlin ‘built by communism’? Because the founders of JB are Russian? Is that it?

Swift is ‘greed’ how? It’s open source since 2015 or so; & available on Linux. Apple’s graphical toolkits are ‘closed down’; & obviously restrict users’ freedoms; though not sure how that implies ‘monopoly’. ‘Monopoly’ would be trying to dominate all toolkits, not have one’s own.

Vague word associations are cool, I guess.

007 is a pretty ideal permission scheme for a spy, though: Deny access to owner & group; let some 3rd party do whatever he likes.

Federation? Glad to hear they finally cracked FTL space travel.

Really hard to tell if this is a question in good faith – but the answer probably has to do with the fact that purple has been the chosen color of the women’s movement since more than a century.

Finland is in an extended sense ‘Scandinavian’; though I’m not sure that they consider themselves descended from ‘the Vikings’.

projects like this one – aren’t a novel thing, though. BSD userlands, clang, alpine linux, etc. have existed for a while; & corps have sponsored them to some degree. What makes this rust initiative different?
