I just packaged the extension for the fun of it! And I do want people to try for themselves, that is the point. About people that are not dumb; surely many people are not dumb; many people are very smart indeed. But that does not prove there are no dumb or gullible people!

thanks for responding and sharing your perspective.

What I would say, you could have omitted some negativity or judgement from your post about 4k devs starring something because it looks simple, because they might have different intentions for starring.

Here is another great example of 65K "not wrong" developers: https://github.com/kelseyhightower/nocode - there is no code, long before AI was a trend, released 9 years ago, but got 65K stars! Doesn't mean devs "not wrong", it means people are curious and saving things "just in case" to showcase somewhere

Nocode is obviously a banter repo and people starred it because made them laugh.

I wonder if someone could explore creating a standalone product out of that markdown, just for the fun of it.

Perhaps a cool wall art sticker? "In this house we don't assume. We don't hide confusion. We surface tradeoffs."

Let's start a company and raise money from investors!!

yeah, it's a typo :-)

I am wondering if, with memory and storage prices skyrocketing, there will be more effort on making computing use less resources?

Unlikely. If you can't afford RAM, how can you afford the SaaS contracts that keep devs employed?

Sure, but the whole point of self-hosting forgejo is to not use these big cloud solutions. Introducing cloudflare is a step back!

I'm so fascinated by replies like this, it's too random and nonsensical to be a language barrier issue, but it also does not pattern match into LLM generated text. Reminds me of ~2010 era wordpress comment spam.

The table lists very limited support for M1 and not even lists newer variants! I guess it was only to be expected, asahi Linux also has challenges and of course FreeBSD has less eyeballs than Linux

Linux is pretty much good to go on M1 or even M2 now. No joy on anything newer than that though.

Is Asahi Linux alive?

They just posted a progress report this month. Seems very much alive.

Me three! mjd fanboy here

All browsers ever implemented was XSLT 1.0, from 1999. There were 2.0 and 3.0 for which there is an open source Java based implementation (Saxon) but this never made it into libxslt and/or browsers!

I think this is not too weird? I write text messages all day on my phone. Every holiday I keep a dairy of my travel in a Google doc. While I prefer a proper keyboard I also appreciate the way I can just type some stuff on my phone while in a bus or waiting for a train, or at night in my hotel room. This adds up to significant documents. And then indeed I prefer the writing over mindlessly ‘consuming content’.

The project got a grant from NLnet. I think they do a great job, they gave grants to many nice projects (and also some projects that are going nowhere, but I guess that is all in the game). NLnet really deserves praise for what they are doing!! https://nlnet.nl/thema/NGI0CommonsFund.html

Plus TIOBE had Perl enter the top 10 suddenly this year but I do not see any new developers. And Ada too! Where are all those Ada programmers?

Keeping 7 Ada vendors in business, one of the few areas where developers actually pay for tooling.

It's more like people in golf suits agree on corruption schemes rather than actual devs making decisions.

Which nonetheless reveals it is more relevant than others.

That’s a C++ URL parser library, has nothing to do with the programming language.

You want gcc-ada for the programming language.

>>Perl enter the top 10 suddenly this year but I do not see any new developers.

Perl is almost as active as Javascript. And more useful than Python.

I write Perl to do all sorts of thing every week. Its strange its not in the top 5 list.

You're joking right?

If you look at programming language list- Apart from Python, Java. Most are targeted to specific platforms(databases, browsers, embedded systems) or tech(SQL for database).

The general purpose programming languages today are still- Python, Java, and Perl. Make whatever of this you will.

Larry Wall at one point said, if you make something very specific to a use case(like awk, sed, php etc), it sort of naturally starts to come out of general purpose use.

Its just that Kotlin, Rust, Go, SQL, Julia, SQL, Javascript etc. These are not general purpose programming languages.

That was an active debate ... 15 years ago
