@aral i don't think its as simple as that as apparently the disabled in ireland weren't consulted and the constitutional change would have affected their rights. in general the information about the referendum was scant and seems to mostly have been posturing

@AnarchoNinaWrites
also they flatly seem to either ignore or misunderstand that facebook is a shithole despite (or even because of) having the name and face attached.

@lanodan wait so what does `/usr` point to, `/` ?

@lanodan
its the same w/header inclusion being turing complete however i don't think template instantiation (which i remember hearing that it) requiring the compiler to compile the same thing multiple times; nor header nonsense is something desireable
@pixx @niconiconi @lispi314

@drewdevault NixOS is probably the worst cases of functional fervour i am aware of. Some of the OK ideas like "the package manager has a full picture of all software on the system" makes sense in a vacuum. But NixOS does it in a way that breaks too many assumptions and in such a way that makes using it, makes you suffer from dogmatism.

consfigurator for Debian is probably saner overall while keeping the "declarative OS" lark

@lanodan and in fairness the only non-homogeneity would be simple switch cases like musl/gnu and the complexity would be in versioning which is nearly the onus of the installer more than some sort of build tool

@lanodan wonder if the only reason they haven't cached autotools shit for a given system is because of either legacy or they don't care about wasting money on build farms

@allison
so SQL server shims NT or linux on linux?
@ezio @tomo

@allison
that sounds like a highly cursed version of a unikernel/some other sort of research kernel that is mainly meant to run as batch
@ezio @tomo

@lanodan is it also more secure than X's network transparency beyond that compression (since it is quite literally idiotic over WIFI (discovered the hard way))

@lanodan does harry potter count :D ?

@ska @lanodan @lynne I mean forth does ( ref len -- ) for its strings so unless I misunderstand what the C stack is I don't get how its impossible.

@hj @vaartis
I'm going off what i presume was someone complaining of not beinf able to just plonk a dotnet project in another machine and running it. Provided it was me eavesdropping

@vaartis

I think newer windows machines now use codesigning which will flat out prevent the program being run on those machines. IDK if its a security setting or a default, because i dont use widnows

@hj

@lanodan ask a question abt philosophy and then its the scene where "zed is being " taught the wisdom " of the immortal women" and it asks if this is why you are asking

@lispi314 @lanodan i think there are different tick schedulers and things but primarily heard it in context of gamers^gentoo; but more abstractly i do not know if RT and MultiUser are a good fit, given how linux was made to be a desktop unixen
