@vnikolov @jackdaniel @screwlisp @publicvoit people always complain about things that look complicated. Compare the complaints about regex, and how all proposed solutions are quantifiably worse once you understand the syntax.

@linux_mclinuxface I have to admit that the product theyre offering seems appealing though. Are they legit, and just spending a lot of money on marketing, or are they actually crap compared to the competition (how much competition is there)

@svetlyak40wt A Mastodon client. Part of that would be a Mastodon client library which can be useful in other cases.An ActivityPub library would be interesting too. Writing ActivityPub services in CL would be nice.

@jernej__s @soweliniko @flacs there's some audiophile-level misrepresentation of technology right there.

@ricci at least there isn't any cloud stuff in there. I'd expect a "modern" architecture to deploy this on aws.

@bremner @clacke Some buildings here have really poor climate control, and they are way too cold.It used to be worse, but at least my employer has what is called the "green mark" and one of the requirements is that the climate control does not waste energy (which has the side effect of being much more pleasant for humans :-) ).

@bremner @clacke yes, I remember reading that. I think there used to be an arms race over there that drive temperatures down and they needed a law to stop it. Perhaps @jannem knows more about that.In Singapore that was not needed. But I think the green mark helped to sigmatise too cold aircon a bit.

So, the Kap language have received a new feature: modified assignment.It's similar to how in C you have the operator += which adds a value to a variable. In other words, a += b is equal to a = a + b.Kap now supports the same, but it's made generic such that any dyadic function call is allowed. So, a F← b is equal to a ← a F b.Since inline functions are as simple as writing some code enclosed in { and }, you can even do things like: a {⍺+⍵+5}← 2 if you should so wish.This is not a new idea, and credit goes to Dyalog which has had this functionality for a long time. It turned out that implementing it in Kap was very easy, since the necessary infrastructure was already in place.

Who started the trend to stuff the title bar of windows full of buttons? I sure love playing "find the background" every time I want to move a window.Also, at aome point someone looked at the colours for active vs. inactive windows and said: "you know what would make this better? If these colours were completely indistinguishable. All users will love that"

I notice people posting about trying to get a job, so here's hoping that an appropriate candidate reads this.My employer is looking for someone with devops skills (Linux, databses, networking and development) who's willing to work in Singapore.The job involves supporting customers (mostly banks) running financial software.Let me know if you want to know more.Not sure what hashtag to use for this, so feel free to boost.

@micke I thought that one was for people looking for a job, so I didn't use it.

@Grouchybeast @davidgerard I saw someone on a chat recently stating that they pay the equivalent of 185 EUR per month for his llms and they consider it cheap.They're heavily into ai coding.All I can think of is teach a man to fish etc.
