Not really sure whether S-expressions or Python indentation-based scoping get more hate...
  • But s-expressions give you power that other syntax doesn't. Data and code as one. Besides there is no other syntax than simply that so it becomes much easier to remember random extra things.

    Whitespace on the other hand, I hate with fiber of my being.

  • Retiring the Mozilla Location Service
  • Yea, the whole thing has always given me a lot of pause when I comes to GOS. I'm sure it's still an awesome solution, but makes me think twice. In the end I have literally zero need or desire for anything Google running on my phone so I'm on calyx.

  • Why Software Engineers like Woodworking
  • Been remodeling a house that we just bought and this has been a my experience as well. I just enjoy making things. Software, home automations, wood, anything. The joy of building. I think that's what it is.

  • Which OS do you use for your homeserver?
  • Everything is declared, from packages to configuration, and then I can put it in a git repo locked to versions. If something breaks on updates, you have free rollbacks. Which means you can't screw up too much. Also it has almost all the software.

  • New programming language needed for KDE?
  • I have been building a Qt/KDE app in rust using that CXX-QT binding. It's pretty good, but definitely more of a headache to work through the binding than just directly with C++. That being said, I don't feel like I'm about to shoot myself in the foot with rust. Rust just protects and advises the best paths forward. Once KDAB solidifies the binding and perhaps makes it easy for others to create their own extra bindings, (which they don't want to maintain every class in QT so this is necessary) it'll be amazing.

  • Do you guys think there will ever be a FOSS voice assistant?
  • While that's true, all the things they built are individual and open source, it wouldn't take too much work for sometime who knows how to package things up for a phone app. That said, you'd need another device to do all the processing.
