Nearly done with Trails in the Sky. Apparently it's getting a remake in 2025, which I guess might make it more attractive to Kids These Days, but really I suspect is money and effort that could have been better spent elsewhere—the remastered version is pretty good IMO

Sounds like a good source of content for whatever /r/OrphanCrushingMachine is here

Ibelin. Saw it in the cinema when it first came out, seemed like everybody in the audience was crying.

(It's about a kid with a degenerative disease who connected with people through an MMO.)

Good thing "oligarch" is just used when describing Russian conditions. That would neeeever happen here in the west.

US? Here in scandi tax seems to work well automatically, as in, we just log into the government website and click OK most years. Corrections are easy enough too, if you need it, but it's usually not required.

I think my usecase of curl is entirely covered by hyper (I just use it for http/s with a small handful of flags); but I also have absolutely no idea what goes on inside curl or how my distro chooses to build it.

Rebuilding curl to use Rust here and there (it still supports rustls and quiche) seems like an interesting undertaking, but yeah, I suspect most curl users don't build it themselves and have no idea what experimental features it could be built with. Guessing the curl survey has data for that.

Stenberg seems like a cool dude and this seems like an amicable split.

No, barely anything from Russia … directly. Money going to the US is better than to Russia, but even better would be to be free from needing fossil fuels at all.

Idunno, that might be approaching "one day of patchy electricity can change how you view computers vs mechanical typewriters". Here people would likely use their mobile internet, especially if the company is paying their phone bill.

It comes off as simulating enums with strings.

And yeah, even the string interpolation seems kind of excessive when it's just appending _address. Js is even kinda infamous for how willing it is to do that with +.

Yeah, translating between cases isn't exactly a problem IME. Might be neat to have a case-aware grep though, so you can get kebab-case, snake_case, camelCase and PascalCase all done in one go.

I've been using Fantasque sans mono for a bunch of years now.

Yeah, I'm reminded of how Germanic languages used to have singular, dual and plural. If we'd still had dual, we'd probably also be talking about not abstracting until we actually have a plural.
