diegoperini··on Kakoune Code Editor
It replaced sublime text for me for scripting languages like PHP, bash and stuff. I still prefer VSCode for js/ts and native IDEs for compiled languages.

I love it.

diegoperini··on DaedalOS: Desktop Environment in the Browser
Great project!

By launching Doom and Blog Posts simultaneously, I caused some kind of deadlock on Firefox 96.0b10 (64-bit) Developer Edition on Windows 10.

What kind of experience does a regular Second Life player have? Is it like a sandbox for grown ups, like Minecraft for instance?

I upvoted and have nothing else to add but this is so true I want this advice to stay on top :)
diegoperini··on Dracula Theme – A dark theme for many different apps
I clicked Dracula Pro, this appeared at the top of the page:

> Hey! You're coming from Turkey where this could be too expensive.

> I believe in Purchasing Parity Power, and I want to make this affordable.

> If you need it, use the code TRPRO for an extra 64% off the regular price.

I love you <3

diegoperini··on Writing is networking for introverts
I love those guys. It shows how important it is for them to not cause trouble or create surprises for random strangers that they are willing to repeat the same conversation with that level of dedication.

It is the purest form of empathy and yet unfortunately also the most invisible kind.

> Whales on the other hand I will never understand.

There are always underground account transfer markets for these kind of games. It becomes an investment if you know what you are doing.

diegoperini··on Trump’s new social media platform found using Mastodon code
> they can put any conditions they please on how others might use it

Isn't it "how they sell it" instead of "how they use it"?

Edit: Also, "how" doesn't necessarily mean "what for".

Assange is a competitor of the press that wrote about him.
diegoperini··on Uber and Lyft don't save money, time, or the planet
I agree. I also like 10% improvements.
diegoperini··on Who reads digitised Malay manuscripts?
Old Turkish uses the same dictionary (with a few exceptions) as current Turkish; so an automated, one to one mapping between the writing systems is not that hard to implement. My ex's dad actually did charity work for the government to do OCR for Ottoman archives and they were quite successful with their results. I see no reason why they can't automate transpiling the letters since the digitized version of the original text already exists.
diegoperini··on Minecraft to add telemetry
No amount of integration tests can replicate millions of players, organically interacting with a video game. The state space is too large for that.
diegoperini··on How to Write a Killer Remote Developer Job Description (+ Checklist)
My boss hired me full-time while I was gigging on Upwork. They asked me "Why Upwork?". I was like "I have to stay with my dad at hospital" and they were like "You can still do that for unlimited time". That's how I got my financial independence, dad is also okay now.

Freelancing sites should be full of desperate people like me who do small gigs due to similar life circumstances.

diegoperini··on Surveillance capitalism will transform the domain name system

4 providers, at the same time, all times.

It is wasteful but you can run the alarms when responses don't match.

diegoperini··on JSON Schema bundling formalised
I haven't stumbled upon a better schema for JSON than the Typescript definition files. If only I could use them in non Typescript contexts.

diegoperini··on Three Super-Massive Black Holes Merging Together in Our Nearby Universe
Turkish has such flavors of past tenses. They are called "observed past" and "learned past" tenses.

As the names imply, one is used when you witness the event. The other is used when you forget that you witnessed or you heard it from someone else.

diegoperini··on Mozilla tests if 'Firefox/100.0' user agent breaks websites
Because if "Firefox/100.0" reveals a bug, the bug may also trigger when other browsers introduce a similar change.
diegoperini··on Mozilla tests if 'Firefox/100.0' user agent breaks websites
User-base has no importance, dev-base is what matters here. If Mozilla sends a letter to developers, chances are those people already stumbled upon MDN multiple times when they looked for answers to web development related questions.
diegoperini··on Twitter locks account of India’s largest opposition party
Terrible idea.

Punishing masses for crimes (if there is any) of individuals is a net negative. We had that in Turkey for years. Twitter, Youtube, Wikipedia and hundreds of lewd sites are blocked with that mindset. Turkey is 80M people and the impact was huge and ugly. I can't imagine what will happen to India with 1.3B if mass bans become mainstream.

diegoperini··on Australia is becoming a surveillance state
> it is just a continent owned by corporate interests that happens to also have people living on it.

An Australian Youtuber who focuses on topics related to macro economy actually touched this subject. Here is the video.

diegoperini··on There Is No Good Reason You Should Have to Be a Citizen to Vote
In Turkey, we tested this idea by accident. Refugees were given temporary citizenship, then allowed for the real one after a while. Turns out they stay loyal to the government who allow them to stay in the country. I totally feel for them to secure their stay but it gives the ruling party a huge advantage on the elections. Total number of former and current refugees exceed 4 million which is 2 percent of the total population. It is large enough to change election results.

This stuff is messy, both sides have legit arguments.

This I actually like. My short summary of my work in Slack usually becomes the first draft of the documentation I need to write later.
