@chfour you are responding to a 9 day old post ✌️

@pilif the classic Mac dev env was pascal, the modern mac dev env wouldn’t be what it is without Euler via smalltalk.

None of us would be doing what we are doing without his vision and work. <3

@twipped fair! But also some questionable “depiction of natives”.

We just watched the Muppets Treasure Island movie (it’s mostly good), and it apparently is Muppet canon that Miss Piggy fucked Tim Curry. Good for them.

[Update: solved]

I have a friend that still runs iTerm in Rosetta mode and I cannot for the life of me find out how to disable it. Things I checked:

0. Mac is an M1 Mac: ✅
1. iTerm.app is universal: ✅
2. “Open using Rosetta” in Info panel is not selected: ✅
3. Restarted iTerm to make sure the checkbox in 2. sticks: ✅
4. putting `arch` at the top of ~/.zshrc prints `i386`: ✅
5. putting `arch` at the top of `/etc/zshrc` prints `i386`: ✅

Same happens with Terminal.app.

What am I missing? #macos

Dat Potat.

Tea spoon for scale.

@cy oh I didn’t follow that, what happened to lighttpd?

Well, RIP nginx, long live freenginx: http://freenginx.org/pipermail/nginx/2024-February/000000.html

TIL Lloyd’s of London sold policies that insured against the violence caused by suffragettes and all I’m taking away is that climate protests have ways to go. 💚

“Update to node 0.1.30” heh 😅

This is why I ripped all of Autotools out of CouchDB for version 2 ~10 years ago and started hand-rolling a Makefile. I regret nothing. (Also h/t to @bsdphk who’s been educating on this issue for a while).

Look, I finally caved. I had a networking scenario that was super easy to resolve using Tailscale that was a pain in the ass otherwise, and I finally got myself an account. It is a wonderful tool and as good as everyone said. I’m now starting the inevitable “broken-by-success” stopwatch and keep an eye out for things to switch to when that happens.

@lenzgr if I wanted to mention them, I’d have tagged them myself. Even if this is a happy case I frown on snitch-tagging. ✌️

Who called it “chiropractor” and not “neckromancer”?

Say I have two JS projects that get a combined 10M* downloads a week on npm and I can’t apply for the STF or Prototypefund, where can I apply for funding for the maintenance of the projects.

*I was shocked.

Is there a sci hub for ISO standards? I’m asking for a friend.

So who is going to do the Wikipedia deep-dive to outline how much of modern computing Wirth had a hand in? I’m taking bets that most of us would have jobs that looked very differently: https://narrativ.es/@janl/111693937277427731

New coasters just dropped.

@danhon is that where my folders went?!

@danhon I am very serious. I had not figured that out. It sounds like search PM wanted a promotion over folders PM and got to try this to show the numbers that if you hide folders, people don’t use folders. What a clusterfuck.
