DerPapa69 , to programmerhumor in Typescript is strongly typed
@DerPapa69@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t really get the point of this. Of course the function will accept the value as a string if you specifically tell it to treat it as such (which wouldn’t even be possible without casting it to unknown first)?

Ephera ,

I guess the point is, it’s not strongly typed during runtime. In other strongly typed languages, that cast would fail, since the underlying memory layout of some random class does not fit to that of a string.

But yeah, as soon as you break out as, you’re telling the type system to fuck off. So, while it does look freaky to me, too, it doesn’t dispell that TypeScript is strongly typed…

DerPapa69 ,
@DerPapa69@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah, I do agree that it’s a bit weird with TS. It’s fully understandable though, since it just transpiles to JS, which doesn’t have any type information during runtime. I think as far as webdev goes though, TS makes it at least somewhat bearable.

Sorry for the downvote btw - that wasn’t me!

sub_ubi , to piracy in I'm blown away by my jellyfin, radarr, transmission-openvpn, jackett setup

Plex lifetime server owner here. It’s getting harder and harder to give my elder family members access, since plex is burying my server under a mountain of their own programming.

client-wise, is Jellyfin easy for older folks to set up and access? Like people who only have an iphone, or a smart tv?

My mom and dad who are completely digital illiterate have no problem in access jellyfin in their android smart tv. Is simple as connecting to any service like Netflix or Prime Video (even simpler if you are on the same local network)

Yes

Closer interoperability would likely be a net positive. Since there is an impedance mismatch here, taking the first sentence seems like a reasonable way to address it. As others mentioned, users can intentionally write the first sentence as a title when posting. Since the workaround would be configurable per instance/community I don’t think low quality titles are too much of a concern.

What part of the experience sucks? I think it’s great.

I agree, granted it took some getting used to, but it provides impressive speeds even while blocking security & privacy threats!

LemmyPistolero OP ,

the app constantly says connection errors saying the network is blocking it but it isn’t

shreddy_scientist ,
@shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

I’d bet its a kill switch issue, if not it could be related to an antivirus, proxy or firewall setting.

LemmyPistolero OP ,

i’m running stock fedora workstation with no anti virus, proxy or firewall

shreddy_scientist ,
@shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t use stock but I also use fedora, I had issues with the kill switch. There’s two different kill switch options, my setup works much better with the simpler of the two. Also, I want to say fedora comes with the firewall enabled, plays into it being well ranked from a privacy standpoint I believe

LemmyPistolero OP ,

I have kill switch disabled that’s the thing

Do you use a DNS?

LemmyPistolero OP ,

no i don’t

shreddy_scientist ,
@shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

Have you tried reinstalling yet? If you’re in the UK that could explain the issue as ProtonVPN is apparently unlawfully being blocked out that way.

LemmyPistolero OP ,

I’ve tried already, currently in the US

shreddy_scientist ,
@shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

What about changing up the protocol and shield options?

LemmyPistolero OP ,

there is no options for these on linux

shreddy_scientist ,
@shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

That could be your issue, go to: settings -> connections -> select the VPN your connecting to -> VPN (openvpn) tab -> advanced -> general tab -> check use TCP connection

If the issue continues, definitely check the other advanced settings for sure. If you still have an issue I’d hit up Proton using protonvpn.com/support-form

Edit: Shield options are directly next to the kill switch icon under connect/disconnect as well

Not often enough. I need to remind myself that reddit is a ridiculously ⬜ space that is so far from being genuinely understanding of the shit POCs deal with. I actually feel bad for not going on Lemmy as much-- I just wish the site was more popping.

hfkldjbuq , to programming in International auxiliary languages should be utilized in software development (to improve international collaboration).

Is there any scientific evidence Esperantano is more efficient, has significantly superior user experience/usability? What about that in the context of using it for software engineering? People seem to have developed it in the 1800s; so outdated. Also many issues en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto#Criticism like bias and the gender non-neutrality; I would discard it. I would suggest to come up with a better language for the 21st century. This one seems better www.globasa.net/eng

Also, isn’t this an XY problem? The problem is that many people do not know the current dominant language that people use in science, technology, so on. So you propose Esperanto. Well, now you gatekeep it to people who know Esperanto, which is a way less demography than English. But since learning languages that are more close to one’s native language is easier, that would allow people from Latin/Roamance/Germanic-based languages to possibly learn it faster? That would not be true to Asiatic languages, …

Why another language is the correct solution? Why not improve current education systems? Why not machine translation? Why not improve translations? If the US switches its official language to Esperanto, wouldn’t it be imperialist as well? Language dominance is linked to socioeconomic development. You need countries like US to actually adopt it; otherwise it would be just another language to learn besides English. You are just making it harder.

pingveno ,

If the US switches its official language to Esperanto, wouldn’t it be imperialist as well?

The idea behind a language like Esperanto isn’t necessarily that any one country uses it as their primary language. It’s that it can be rapidly learned as a second language (or in parallel with a primary language) and spoken with just about anyone.

ttmrichter , to programming in International auxiliary languages should be utilized in software development (to improve international collaboration).
@ttmrichter@lemmy.ml avatar

Esperanto is not a particularly easily learnable language to most of the world. It’s a very parochial language made by someone whose exposure to language was all European and very strongly focused on specifically East European languages both phonetically and grammatically. English, to take a horrifically terrible language at random, is not much harder to learn for, say, a Chinese speaker than Esperanto would be, but it would be a million times more useful given the rather pathetically small number of Esperanto speakers out there.

If you’re going to use a constructed IAL (as opposed to de facto lingua francas like have been historically the case), make one that isn’t filled with idiotic things like declension by case, by gender, by number, by tense, by … Or you’re going to have most people in the world ignoring it. Like you already have for Esperanto.

@dwzero@lemmy.ml avatar

Ĉu vi scias Esperanton? Esperanto ne estas perfekta, sed la Angla estas pli granda malordo. Mi vere dubas ke la Angla estus tiel facila kiel Esperanto.

Esperanto is ignored for political reasons, not because its bad.

shreddy_scientist , to piracy in Anyone got any sites that post .flac music?
@shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

After digging around a bit, these sites offer free .flac (lossless) music, the first link even offers free movies, books, software & images too:

  1. archive.orgJust search for FLAC, click the audio file you want to save. Find ‘Download options’ & download the music file.
  2. www.2l.noThis is one of the best free lossless music download sites. It provides free hi-res music files that are available in DXD, DSD64, DSD128, DSD 256, MQA, ETC. Visit the 2L website and click HiRes Test Bench. Then you can download hi-res music for free without registration required.
