Yeah, the article comes off as needing so much context that the article itself is sus. Like

Hejlsberg stated the obvious when saying that TS isn't the fastest language. Although it can laughably run Doom at 0.0000009645 fps.

… which is referencing an implementation of Doom in the TS type system. It's a funny idea, but an arbitrary reader who doesn't know about that and doesn't bother clicking through will get a very wrong impression.

The reimplementation (which they've done partially automated; Go apparently lets them do a very simple translation while Rust or C# would require more work to fit) should be a boon for TS devs, but not noticeable for those who just run stuff that happens to be written in TS.

Would be kinda interesting to see the effect if stuff targeted deno rather than node, though.

Oder S-1; vllt in Deutsch T-1, wo T ist das Anzahl Räder, das zu Trennung führt.

Auch: /s? /s????????? >:(

This is simpler than the download, ./configure, make, make install steps we had some decades ago, but not all that different in that you wind up with arbitrary, unmanaged stuff.

Preferably use the distro native packages, or else their build system if it's easily available (e.g. AUR in Arch)

They helped resuscitate Europe with the Marshall plan and helped keep us safe through the cold war with NATO. We have seriously had a good relationship for all of living memory.

Yeah, the way things work in Norway and I expect in most other European countries is that you don't get a citizenship for just being born here, but if you're born and raised here, then by the time you're of school age you'd have lived here long enough to become a citizen, and unless your parents isolated you, you shouldn't have any problems with language requirements.

Basically the system here is "stay here for long enough and make a bit of effort for integration and sure you can become a citizen".

Of course, the far right loves to portray this as "unrestricted immigration" and make it harder for people to do that, or even live normally, get education and services for their kids, etc. And then complain when the result is people who feel that the system isn't working for them, or who have trouble because they're uneducated and poorly integrated anywhere.

The context is that he wants to have fur and whiskers.

He's a child so he actually has no beard, but he's doing damage control and pretending it is merely thin, rather than the thick tiger fur-like beard he wants.

You can give her limited sudo rights; even limit her to install and upgrade operations.

I also get the im pression that the memes with German com pound words take off be cause English split all their com pounded words with spaces, so you get stuff like "chain saw" in stead of "motorsag" and so on.

We Norwegians who in stead make fun of people who write com pounded words with spaces (orddelingsfeil, wortteilenfehl oder so) don't really get their fascin ation.

One rather obvious reason is that society has a lot of greybeards in general. The baby boomer generation was named that for a reason, and people have been living longer on average. Lots of countries are struggling with the demographic effects. There's no reason to expect that tech or something even more specific like FOSS would be exempt.

Another aspect here is that FOSS is still kind of new in society. There's just more people who have had the chance to age into FOSS greybeards than when those greybeards were young. (And they were thus likely to a lesser degree blocked by entrenched greybeards when they were getting started.)

To be a bit more generic here, when you're at government scale you're generally deep in trade-off territory. Time and space are frequently opposed values and you have to choose which one is most important, and consider the expenses of both.

E.g. caching is duplicating data to save time. Without it we'd have lower storage costs, but longer wait times and more network traffic.

This needs some work to reconcile with how Trump appears to act towards the pretty poor Russia vs the wealthy EU, though.

Likely he's just personally uncomfortable with powerful allies, and would rather have weak & subservient underlings. That this would leave the US worse off seems to be a sacrifice he's willing to have the Americans make.

This is the first I've heard something like that about Iceland; but I do know a little bit about Icelandic personal ID numbers.
