They said competition, not alternatives. As things are right now, and knowing people, not just trying to make a technical point, Firefox is the only competition.
Oh yeah, I had given that a try, but the installation was too huge. It took like 2 GB. The dependecies were huge as well. But maybe it'd be less on Ubuntu. I will give it a shot again. I heard that language doesn't have loops; I guess you've got to be good with recursion to get good at it lol.
Or maybe people rely on map like function of Python.
Hi, I spent some time trying out the dictd package. I also read this protocol's specification. As things are right now, each host-name would require its own parser, because I couldn't notice a very similar pattern between them. Webster, Jargon, wn, all these have their own standardization for including synonyms and examples.
The specification doesn't enforce any pattern on the definitions either. I don't think it's going to be very useful even if I do implement it because the parsers are going to be quite complicated.
My OOP experience isn't from Java, but I get your point. I don't really have a dislike for OO; it sure does have its applications. I once met a dude who was trying to use an object oriented library in a functional way; the result of that was a mess full of complications. I feel a good balance is necessary.
I agree fully. I basically never download music anymore, because I can get all the music I can think of on Spotify for a few bucks a month.
I recently started music pirating because I listen to a lot of genres and I want to shuffle them. If I use Spotify, I am limited to their shitty shuffler, but if I download my music offline, I can shuffle however I want. My favorite algorithm to shuffle my huge bunch of music is to shuffle them by genre. Now I get to listen to interesting music with full control over the algorithm used.
Also, there are frequent power cuts in my area, so an offline library always proves useful. I also visit places where internet connections are not available.
i like how there are no punctuation at all, suggesting that the support person has to routinely deal with this shit, so they probably typed it as quickly and recklessly as they can
No? That would be true if we were the Twitter community. But, for Lemmy, I am pretty sure most people that are on Lemmy fancy Reddit's outdated old.reddit.com UI as well because it's more simple. Things are much lighter, but still work.
I will try porting this project to Haskell and Coconut later. I am currently doing a rewrite of this in Nim.
