Je suis en Montérégie, c’est très plat dans mon coin, donc non, heureusement. Mais l’eau s’est accumulée un peu partout dans le coin pareil, à des endroits où j’en avais jamais vu…

Hah, that’s Cipralex for me. Works wonders for the anxiety for me, but it really kills sex drive.

Their whole business model is pleasing advertisers, for better or for worse. IMHO mostly for worse.

Honestly I’m just bad at it so I rarely finish a run regardless. But it’s fun at least, and I bought the expansions mostly to encourage the business model.

10F/-13C is a relatively comfy winter day up here haha! IMHO the biggest factor with how cold it feels is wind chill. -13F/-25C without wind is much more tolerable than 5F/-15C with wind bringing the feels-like temps to the former.

We’re up to 5 layoffs in the last decade in between my wife and I. I’m obviously extremely biased towards “job security” being a freaking joke lol

This. If anything, they wanted to claw back some of that Blackberry market. Apple wasn't even on anybody's mind yet on the mobile side of things.

He specifically said "unit tests" though, which aren't black box tests by definition

Every time someone needs to change anything nontrivial, like a large feature or a refactor they just code away blindly, hope it doesn't make anything explode, and then wait for QA to pat them on the back or raise any potential bug? Does this mean your QA team makes a full product sweep for every single feature that gets merged? If that's the case, you'd need more than 1 QA per developer. If not, you're now stuck debugging blindly too, not knowing when the thing broke?

I worked with a team like yours at one point, and it was hell 😬 Each new feature is like poking away at a black box hoping it doesn't explode...

I know, but coreutils also literally never broke on me as they are. To me, the whole point of coreutils is that they're just... there. I'll leave the decision to change bundled tooling to distro maintainers.

I'll also be perfectly honest: from a developer standpoint, end-users caring about the language a tool was developed with is, in the end, a pretty weird concept to me. Memory safety and cross platform compilation is DX stuff. Nothing tells you as a user that the thing you're using isn't sprinkling unsafe everywhere, in the end... The application itself doing what it advertises is what I'd expect most users to care about. Especially for stuff as old and relatively stable as most coreutils.

Ah, except Electron. Fuck most Electron apps.

Looks neat, but again, 99% of those utils I've never ever thought "this shit too slow" or "UX sucks". Replacing for the sake of replacing I'm not too keen on.

1. Headless capitalistic entities don't love their users.
2. Native support or this are the best case scenarios.
3. Those workarounds would probably get flagged as cheating by those anti-cheat software, hell, some of these work as literal rootkits. I think Riot/LoL is a special case, they don't directly support it, but also don't treat it as a bannable offense, or something like that.
