drran··on Our journey in dropping the ORM in Go
My compiler cannot type check SQL code, so I need to run SQL to check it correctness. It's the same problem as with JavaScript, Python, Perl, shell, etc.

For JavaScript, the problem is solved (partially) with TypeScript.

drran··on Features of PL/I not realized in a modern language
It depends on which part of code will clear stack after call. If caller is responsible to clear stack, like in C, to support variable arguments, then called function must return to the original point of call.

If called function is responsible to clear stack, like in Pascal or Forth, then yep, multiple return points are easy to implement and useful to implement something like switch operator. I used it in Pascal, when I was in school. Just pop old return address from stack and push new one.

Fedora works badly on Raspberry PI.
drran··on The Next ‘Lab Leak’
90% of what?
drran··on The Next ‘Lab Leak’
Who will discover a new virus faster? A researcher from a specialized lab or a random guy?
drran··on The Next ‘Lab Leak’
> How many are in China?

Virus know nothing about countries. Check all 15 labs.

drran··on The Next ‘Lab Leak’
If you read links you've posted, you'll note that the BSL4 lab in Wuhan, China is ruled out only. Did they rule out «Vector» BSL4 lab in Novosibirsk, RF?
drran··on Flatpak Is Not the Future
Yeah, proper use of Flatpack requires antivirus, reverse firewall, hardware isolation (separate CPU core per application), user education, etc.
drran··on Flatpak Is Not the Future
Maintainers are not developers, they are users, so the developer cannot push unwelcome changes, such as ads, trackers, trojans, backdoors, keyloggers, etc. directly to users because the maintainer will refuse to accept that.

M$ is happy to copilot open-source code into their codebase.
drran··on Analysis of the Cosmos 1408 Breakup
RF is already at (semi-cold) war with West, so peace with Russia today is preferable to peace with Russia in the future.
drran··on Analysis of the Cosmos 1408 Breakup
The longer we procrastinate, the higher price we will pay.
drran··on Surely you're joking, Comrade Beria
The cycle is complete. The Doom is inevitable.

USSR collapsed in 70 years. RF is about 2x smaller, so it should collapse in 35 years -> 2026.

drran··on Surely you're joking, Comrade Beria
Yeah, it looks like he will succeed at demolishing of the Jail of Nations.

Or a sister by mother in Germany...
drran··on Tasking developers with creating detailed estimates is a waste of time (2020)
Yeah, let your competitor do it for you and drive you out of business.

drran··on The Truth Shall Make You Free: Catholicism and the CIA
They're trying very hard, but we have the same education. I knew one of their trainers. He was a nice guy.
drran··on The Truth Shall Make You Free: Catholicism and the CIA
> On the other hand CIA handled instigators killed far in excess of 45,000 people during the 'cold' war.

It doesn't look like a comment about nukes. It's more like "OMG, CIA killed 45,000 enemies during the war!" It's CIA job to kill mad Russians to protect USA. What's wrong with that?

> I suggest that you would not post about it here as this forum is monitored and this information would be identifying to the FSB.

They know that I know.

drran··on The Truth Shall Make You Free: Catholicism and the CIA
Are you joking? Russian spies are killing people right now. Former «Vympel», now «Alpha», entered Ukraine recently, and they started to collect money for their covert operation by murdering of innocent families. They are trying to kill me since 2008, because I searched/found their agent «24». USSR starved to death 7 million adults (number accepted by RF State Duma on 02.04.2008) and 23 million children (still not accepted by RF).
drran··on The Truth Shall Make You Free: Catholicism and the CIA
Communists in USSR killed about 10x more innocents than Nazi. (Did you heard about Holodomor?). Why Nazi bad but USSR isn't?
drran··on The Truth Shall Make You Free: Catholicism and the CIA
But you have no war yet.

If you really want to know how to manufacture consent for war, you should study Goebbels works, or Russian propaganda (Putin likes Goebbels).

drran··on The Truth Shall Make You Free: Catholicism and the CIA
So, how to manufacture consent for war?

drran··on Python: Please stop screwing over Linux distros
> Python packaging needs to better serve the needs of python developers, not those of sysadmins.

Use Fedora, or Arch, or another developer-oriented distro.

I checked an old (1 m high) ant colony near to a corn field at the end of summer: this summer it was dead.
drran··on Do something different for a week
After a while, your code will be easier to reason about, you will learn how to use asserts and proper logs, and you will write much better error messages. Why I need to launch a debugger, when I can detect an error condition with assert and put relevant information into the error message?
