@benjaminhollon is it really so that you have to give the school access to things you have saved on your personal device that you bought and paid for? That would never fly where I'm from.

@benjaminhollon on a machine the school provided you with, or your personal one? Because here that would be against all our privacy rights.

@benjaminhollon in class I would say it's something a bit different, I'm old so we didn't have computers in class when I grew up, now I'm kind of feeling Happy that we didn't, I had a lot of shady stuff on my PCs when I was that age :p

@jlamothe ah so enchiladas is like pancake lasagna :)

@vandrar @AaronTheGuy Well I'm not sure if I'm surprised or not to be honest.

@blueberry those extra 2 seconds of typing in the password has saved me from doing stupid things multiple times, also better for security when you run scripts.

Went on youtube to check it out again after having been using newpipe for about 3/4 of a year now, and it has no clue what to suggest me, 99% of the guesses it tried was wrong :p

@proactiveservices They were bought by a chinese, company, I don't think the original company even exists anymore, I used to live not far from their offices in Norway, I think the main people were the ones starting vivaldi.

"[Programming is] much more of a craft. And a craftsman uses whatever tools he thinks will get the best result, no matter if they are what everybody else is using or something different. And a good craftsman makes his own tools when needed."
- Bram Molenaar (creator of vim)

@taxorubio I really enjoyed this quote, it also rang very true to me :) "[Programming is] much more of a craft. And a craftsman uses whatever tools he thinks will get the best result, no matter if they are what everybody else is using or something different. And a good craftsman makes his own tools when needed."

@TheFerridge Well being decent to people doesn't hurt though.

@lxsameer @Mehrad I use firefox, not because I particularly like it, but because I don't want to support google's chokehold on the internet by running a chromium clone browser.

Fuck digital scarcity.

@Zeno I also found some oforth that I wrote 5 years ago, and some factor that I've been writing now and then :) Concatenative languages has been interesting for me for quite a while :)

@Zeno I've been interested in it for quite a while. It's the other way around for me, I got interested in tsoding for doing something close to forth, here is some forth code I wrote about a year ago :) https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/h13mcz

Is it just me that find forth to be a really interesting and kind of beautiful language in its own way :)

@floppy Also it really depends on what langauge you're writing in, if you're writing in a dynamic langauge you'll need a lot of extra unit tests to make sure your stuff doesn't break.

@edboythinks But might the speed of light be different in different parts of the universe as well? if we get to some real extreme places.

@edboythinks Brian Greene - The elegant universe, I remember really liking that book back in the day when I read it :)
