The Ramen Dutchman

I agree with the content of this post, but it seems like pure complaining rather than programmer humour, so I downvoted it for not suiting the community.

Mods, what are you doing letting this on here?

It seems those are 4 KiB on Linux, interesting to know.

Probably DeepSeek.

each file is minimum 4kb

$ touch empty_file
$ ls -l
total 8
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user group 0 may 14 20:13 empty_file
$ wc -c empty_file 
0 empty_file

Huh?

What an eloquent yet brutal statement, I love it!

It does that with any unread message for some reason. Going to your replies and then tapping the double check mark in the top right marks everything in the inbox as read, as well.

I should probably let the devs know about this bug… When I don’t forget.

And ngrok is en-grok, not en-jii-rok…

I mean in all fairness it was probably a bot that flagged that.

By the time I left (API shenengigans) Reddit was already a place where bots interacted with bots half the time.

Noto Sans for sans-serif text (and the OS)
It’s legible, standard-looking and support about every writing system in the world. You can install it on Debian using # apt install fonts-noto, some others like -cjk and -extra help with the “supports about every writing system in the world”-aspect.

Merriweather for the serif font fallback for the browser, as well as TTRPG campaign printouts
It’s very legible, and looks quite sexy for a serif font. There’s no package for it currently (although AUR and Nix users might have better luck), it has to be downloaded from Google Fonts

JetBrains Mono for the terminal TUI’s
It looks a bit playful, like lego-letters, is legible and supports about every writing system in the world. # apt install fonts-jetbrains-mono.

Although I use…

Verdana for source code
It differentiates every character well and leaves enough space to easily recognise special characters such as brackets. And I don’t believe monospace fonts are more legible. It’s included in ttf-mscorefonts-installer but the font is not open-source.

TES isn’t LoZ, buddy.

The 3DS’ 3D was actually great and people who claim to hate it just hate progression!

I meant to say it was pedantic, and thus a bit unnecessary.

And BDs would be Bluray disks

That’s why people should torrent and seed lots of its data!

Well not IN Italy and the Vatican directly, no.

Also, Rust allows “unsafe” code for when it’s absolutely necessary; you DO need to add a line that basically says “I know compiler, don’t stop me”. To keep up the metaphor; Rust allows you to cut yourself with the knife, but ensures you’re fully aware of what you’re doing.

Pretty sure this was posted on piles of mostly Rust and Typescript codebase

My point exactly! But naw, several others on the team insisted this guy policing others manually is better than putting a linter in the pipeline.

I don’t work there anymore, this is one of the (minor) reasons.

Had a colleague who would comment things like “add a newline here” as well as things that were fully his own preference.

That was the only time I closed comments without replying to them or fixing them, without feeling bad.

Before: Just a dude
After: Just a gal
