3·1 month agoMisleading with statistics can certainly be done in some contexts, but it’s harder to do that than it is to be wrong with just ‘I have a gut feel bro’. The breakdown by income quartile here is, like, directly the narrative that the stats are intended to support and clearly a larger impact that immigration because… Well… Quartiles are quite big…

Privacy@lemmy.ml•out of the loop, what's the problem with signal?
3·3 months agoIn return they get an actually secure messing app they can use without having to support it themselves. Which is pretty big.
Well you might also need to run some arcane incantation to remove quarantine bits, too. And it’ll only work if it’s actually been ported to the m-series chips, of course. And sometimes you just need to compile the whole god damn app yourself anyway. But sure, caveats side, you can run anything you want on macos that runs on macos. As long as you’re not using a company-issued device and are forbidden.

One huge advantage of a rolling distro is that generally only one thing can break at a time :)

4·3 months agohttps://blog.giovanh.com/blog/2025/10/14/a-hack-is-not-enough/ this article makes a sadly excellent point in response to you here. Fair warning: it’s long. But even if you dip out early I assume you’ll get the point being made

2·4 months agoOk fair, sorry for being snappy, I think fusion is cool and probably pretty close these days and get a bit defensive when I feel I’m misrepresented.

2·4 months agoAlso it is literally the best language for refactoring. Omg. Anything is available – macros that fold up so tight you can’t see it’s arse, compile type type witnesses for safe access to partial objects, fuckin’ automatic restructuring of auto-generated code, at compile time, to regex hack in the easy fix for a hard problem. It just so flexible, and you can either use that to prevent bugs by making things stricter, or enable incredible things by doing mad unsafe shit (that’s still safe, because you still have the compiler). Wow. What a language.

4·4 months agoYeah, every so often there’s an article like this and tbh it always seems to boil down to ‘i couldn’t get a job in it’ lol. Scala isn’t Java or Go, it’s never gonna have as many open roles as those sorts of languages. Doesn’t feel to me like it’s dying – all the libs I depend on have been available for scala 3 for at least a couple of years now, all the ones that aren’t already so feature complete as to warrant ‘stable’ status get regular updates. Kinda don’t like ppl trash talking my favourite language NGL lol 😂

1·4 months agoYeah idk, I think it’d happen near the solstice at ‘night’ when sun doesn’t really set but yeah I guess it’d never be perfectly horizontal and I don’t live in the Arctic circle myself so have never seen it. Maybe it’s all a big hoax, who can say

11·4 months agoWell the sun will move horizontal to the horizon near the Arctic circle during summer. So… I mean, still Alaska
