There's zero chance they will get rid of .io.

You're still missing the point. We all understand that definition. We're just saying that it is incorrect use of the word "concurrent". Does that make sense? The word "concurrent" means things happening at the same time. It's stupid for programmers to redefine it to mean things not happening at the same time.

Yes! On a tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard. Should I not want to for some reason?

Oo neat that they have an Android app. Unfortunately it seems like it must target a quite old API version - Android gives you an unnecessarily scary warning when you install it, and also it crashes when I try to browse anywhere.

Still, great progress!

Also, off topic but does anyone know why the comment vote counts disappeared?

Edit: Never mind they just moved the vote counts away from the vote buttons... They're now at the top. Weird decision to make it less intuitive... but ok.

I seriously wonder what kind of circumstances lead someone to be this irrationally devoted to such a flawed and outclassed language. Probably best if I just block you though...

[-] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago

Oo hello. Didn't know that's what you were doing these days! Hope it goes well, though I'd be nervous about a realistic business plan.

Anyway, yeah bit too late for Python.

Ohhhhh you can't comment on a specific line of a commit message. I see. I mean... yeah I guess not. That seems like a super niche feature though. How long are your commit messages? I've never even tried to do that. Commit messages are short enough you can pretty much just write a normal message not tied to a specific line.

There are waaaaay bigger issues with Gitlab. Here's one I ran into recently, you can't search for pipelines. It's got a search box and everything but you literally can't search; only filter. So stupid.

I actually just went to take a look at Gitlab issues I have commented on to see what my worst ones are. Guess what.... you can't even search for issues you have commented on!!!

Still, overall it's the best self-hostable option out there at the moment IMO. I guess Forgejo (truly abysmal name) may overtake it at some point.

I think it will take much longer than that. There is so much legacy C++ code. Maybe 10-15 years.

Anything that helps scientists and engineers move away from MATLAB is welcome.

The MATLAB language may be pretty bad but IMO that's not what makes MATLAB good. Rather it's:

  1. Every signal processing / maths function is available and well documented. I don't know how well Julia does on this but I know I wouldn't want to use Python for the kinds of things I used MATLAB for (medical imaging). You don't have to faff with pip to get a hilbert transform or whatever...

  2. The plotting functionality is top notch. You can easily plot millions of points and it's fast and responsive. Loads of plotting options. I just haven't found anything that comes close. Every other option I've tried (a lot) only works for small datasets.

Ugh yeah that's infuriating on Github search too. Obviously if I'm searching for some identifier I don't want 10 pages of results in /tests.

How hard can it be? Just weight anything with test in the file path lower than everything else. Job done.

Microsoft doesn't have a vetting process for publishing extensions in the store. Maybe the failure is that people assume they do?

The experience was awful.

I did not use it.

Hmm. You sure have a strong hatred of a thing you never used, about which your main objection (no HTML explorer) is completely untrue.

I don't think anyone would say you need GraphQL for a tiny 10-20 endpoint project. It's for big projects.
