It’s just an old rant, some people can’t get over the fact systemd exists

Remember how everyone was expecting the end of the world in 2012, kind of like that.

I personally don’t find it romantic anymore

Yeah, that was the point of the joke

But you’re right, better leave a link, the more people know, the better

I don’t know, whenever I hear such arguing it makes me feel like it emphasises the issues we as humanity have gotten into, not belittles.

I mean, hearing “everything is doomed” is kind of epic and has it’s charm. Hearing “only the humanity is doomed” makes me feel shitty and want to do something about that.

But only unarmed ones

Judging by another reply, ey meant that French cops will engage in a fight rather than chicken out. That doesn’t make them the good guys, of course

So that’s why I can’t print greyscale documents when my yellow ink is too low!

I installed GIMP on my Android phone for changing aspect ratio of photos, but used it for hue, too

I’d say it’s rather an indicator of the person who’s had too much exposure to the previous marketing. Also neurodivergence may work against this illusion the way it breaks some of the others

I expected him to aspire to become a politician until the last frame

Wait, so the conservatives fucked up the last 14 years of the UK, and still come second?

This is beyond my comprehension ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is not completely wrong, though

Also, I like how this problem had a really simple solution all along

There really isn’t anything we can do to prevent memory safety vulnerabilities from happening if the programmer doesn’t want to write their code in a robust manner.

Yeah, totally, it’s all those faulty programmers fault. They should’ve written good programmes instead of the bad ones, but they just refuse to listen

Underspecified schema is indeed a problem, but I find it too common to just shrug it off

Also, you’re very right that just using strings will not improve the situation 🤝

Well, one of the most widely used that allows to do low-level stuff. The most widely used one is by far JavaScript but good luck making an OS or a device driver with it

I disagree a bit in that the schema often doesn’t specify limits and operates in JSON standard’s terms, it will say that you should get/send a number, but will not usually say at what point will it break.

This is the opposite of what C language does, being so specific that it is not even turing complete (in a theoretical sense, it is practically)

I am not sure what could be the example, my point was that the spec and the RFC are very abstract and never mention any limitations on the number content. Of course the implementations in the language will be more limited than that, and if limitations are different, it will create dissimilar experience for the user, like this: Why does JSON.parse corrupt large numbers and how to solve this

The point is that everything is expressable as JSON numbers, it’s when those numbers are read by JS there’s an issue

No problem with strings in JSON, until some smart developer you get JSONs from decides to interchangeably use String and number, and maybe a boolean (but only false) to show that the value is not set, and of course null for a missing value that was supposed to be optional all along but go figure that it was

Well, we don’t, but every electonic tables software out in the wild on the other hand…
