electrotype··on Is that ship still stuck?
Genuine question: why not simply pull its back in the reverse direction it was going, until its front is unstuck?
electrotype··on Reddit bans subreddit group “r/DonaldTrump”
They do promote free speech, from all sides. Just join and give your opinion if you do not agree with something.
electrotype··on Reddit bans subreddit group “r/DonaldTrump”
For those who like to hear from both sides, without such biased moderation, https://ruqqus.com is an option.
electrotype··on Cryptocurrency company Ripple says SEC lawsuit is imminent
A crypto thread on Hacker News without mentionning Monero is a sad thread.
electrotype··on Rocky Linux: A CentOS replacement by the CentOS founder
Someone care to explain why did CentOS switch from downstream to upstream builds? I guess there is a reason.
electrotype··on PHP 8
Yes, I think you nailed what my issue was.
electrotype··on PHP 8
I think I had issues even with mbstring, for some characters like "œ". But maybe I'm wrong.
electrotype··on PHP 8
I haven't touched PHP for a long time now. How is the Unicode support now? I remember having to use some special utilities to handle characters like "œ" properly.
electrotype··on Ethereum 2.0 – Minimum deposit reached
So, Monero.
electrotype··on Reddit is slowly killing the old interface? native image galleries are invisible
I knew the Internet when it was fun, AMA.
electrotype··on Windows Subsystem for Linux: The lost potential
I'm pretty sure those who would actually use WSL are also able to install a regular VM or Docker.
electrotype··on Windows Subsystem for Linux: The lost potential
I tend to agree with the article. What does WLS2 provides that a regular VM (VirtualBox for example) doesn't? Or a Docker container that I run with "C:" mounted as a volume?
electrotype··on Winamp for Windows 10
I use version v5.666 Build 3516 everyday on Windows 10 and it works perfectly... But I'm happy to see Winamp is going to be officially supported!

electrotype··on Reddit shuts down subreddits including r/The_Donald and r/ChapoTrapHouse
Let's see how https://ruqqus.com will do as a Reddit alternative. I give it a chance! The algorithms are open-source so there is no manipulation.
electrotype··on Reddit shuts down subreddits including r/The_Donald and r/ChapoTrapHouse
I pick my subreddits and I never look at the default/popular ones. There are some topics/interests for which Reddit is still the place to be, sadly.
electrotype··on Reddit shuts down subreddits including r/The_Donald and r/ChapoTrapHouse
I remember how was Reddit 10 years ago... It was a very open and permissive place. Only very bad things were prohibited at that time (pedophilia, rape, murder, etc.).

It is now ran by people/corporations with a political agenda.

electrotype··on Deno will stop using TypeScript
I'm wondering about "--watch" too... My projects are compiled in the background, like pretty much instantly. The only time I wait is when I restart the applications.

But I suppose they are aware of this flag.

electrotype··on Ask HN: I've been promoted to Architect. What do I need to learn/do to excel?
Never stop coding.
electrotype··on Firefox 75.0
Mozilla, the only reason I'm using Firefox is because it is highly cutomizable... Not as YOU want, but as I want.
electrotype··on PostgreSQL is the worlds’ best database
But this doesn't deal with DELETEs of a true MERGE statement
electrotype··on Help the Graphics team track down an interesting WebRender bug
Why the Nightly version only, I'm curious?

"Dog friendly" always gets my attention! :-)
electrotype··on State of JavaScript 2019
Typescript is the only reason I am not shooting myself in the head, on projects at work based on Node.
electrotype··on Hacking GitHub's Auth with Unicode's Turkish Dotless 'I'
I have to admit this is an attack I wasn't aware of! I'll have to update some websites soon...
electrotype··on Music for Programming (2011)
Brain.fm owner is a crook.

He lured me into buying an annual subscription with the promise that he would convert it to a lifetime subscription (which was available at some point). So I bough the annual subscription and from that moment I never had any more replies from him...

I sent a dummy question from another email address to see if he was simply ignoring me and I received a reply immediately.

So I downloaded the music I liked there (it's almost always repeating anyway), using a video/music grabber, and then cancelled my account.
