I mean, C is a high level language? Now, sure, C isn’t a super expressive language and every C statement compiles to very few assembly instructions comparatively speaking, but it has a whole lot of stuff that assembly doesn’t have. Like nice loops and other control structures and such, and not worry about which processor registers are used.
There’s still a few sites I deploy changes to using ssh+rsync. …which is made considerably easier by the fact that it’s just a static website generated with Jekyll.
JavaScript is powerful
Old joke (yes, you can tell):
“JavaScript: You shoot yourself in the foot. If using Netscape, your arm falls off. If using Internet Explorer, your head explodes.”
As it says on AdoptOpenJDK page, the project has rebranded to Adoptium.
I use Adoptium on Windows (dunno, seems to run Minecraft, OK, that’s good enough for me). On Linux I just use whatever OpenJDK is packaged in distro.
That’s illegal, if I were to be a dictator! Look, if were to be a Dictator of the World, there would be only one overarching Law: If Turtles decide to go out of their shells, they shall leave a little sign around that says “out for lunch” or something equally thoughtful.
Tests as well.
In most programming languages, yes.
In Ruby? …eeeeeeeehhhhhhhhh.
Well aren’t the requests to backend by definition slow? Actually TCP protocol is pretty much turtle as opposed to UDP’s hare: slow, but it gets you there.
Edut: was drunk here, was very spitballin’ too
Clearly, the superiour mode is to just use keyword based scoping (à la Ruby do ... end). When I was a kid I read an OBSCENE MAGAZINE where I saw a Forth program go dup dup dup and I was like “ok so what’s the problem here? Things happen and everything is just keywords?” and my young mind was corrupted forever I guess
Well LaserActive at least got the Retsupurae reaction 7 years ago, so it’s not totally obscure.
The weirdest shit about this is that JSTOR apparently has a very expansive social media presence.
They have an official Tumblr account.
I had to follow it out of morbid curiosity.

Proto-Italic? Well that’s just someone’s amateurish, slanted opinion.
Ugly giant bags of mostly water?
One of the most tragicomical science notes I’ve ever read comes from Gilbert White:
We put Timothy into a tub of water, & found that he sunk gradually, & walked on the bottom of the tub: he seemed quite out of his element, & was much dismayed. This species seems not at all amphibious.
Timothy was luckily fine afterwards! This watery misadventure got retaliated in the most turtle-rific manner imaginable: Timothy was determined to, and succeeded in, outliving White. In fact, memory and legacy of Timothy is even more alive now - everyone can go look at the 3D scan of Timothy’s shell on the internet. Did Gilbert White’s works get 3D scanned? No, only 2D scanned. So old-fashioned.
(Also kind of tragic that Timothy was only found to be female after she died. And some time later, another tortoise was named Timothy after her, and it later turned out she was female too. Something tells me humanity is never going to completely figure out this whole sex/gender thing.)
One day someone will use the SQL injection to execute code on the remote server to add message to the web site that tells the workers to unionise and demand actually fair wages and put an end to the whole tipping nonsense
I thought the Egyptians were responsible for that!
I mean, look at 𓆉 Gardner I2, and don’t tell me it’s not similar to the modern hieroglyphic 🐢 U+1F422 TURTLE. Appreciation of the animals has what has kept the civilisations stable and true. Like the turtles. Can you point to any example where society has fallen if they appreciated turtles so much that they dedicated a letter for them? (Or in case of the Unicode Age, twice?)
Yeah why are wolves always portrayed as enemies. They’re so fluffy and howly! Just give them food.
Yeah, I just tried upgrading my Gitea Windows instance to Forgejo via Docker, and it actually works pretty much as easily as it did before. Fantastic! Might just leave it here instead of shoving it all in the VM - I can always do that later if it’s necessary. Having a full VM does have upsides, but in this particular instance this is definitely good enough.
Heh, your comment actually made me finally go and resolve a problem I’ve had since I got this laptop in 2020. I didn’t have SVM virtualisation acceleration enabled because that made Windows unable to boot somehow. A bit of twiddling after, it finally did! VirtualBox runs! Docker runs!
…but why would I use Docker for something like this. Might as well blow the dust off of my FreeBSD virtual machine and run Forgejo there!
Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.
Will probably need to check this out.
