At university the by far coolest and most fun course was compiler construction. We had to write something which would compile a small subset of Java (Javalette) into the Java Virtual Machine instruction set.
I wrote my compiler in Haskell because it seemed that it’d be much less hassle compared to do it in a object oriented or procedual language.
I would suggest having a look at podman. It’s a drop-in replacement for docker, except it doesn’t require a constantly running daemon, it comes in the main package repositories, so you don’t have to do the key and repository stuff, and cockpit has a plugin to help manage podman containers.
I wish there was a better way to judge the lightness of full desktop environements than just ram consumption, because speed and smoothness can vary greatly regardless of ram, so we know whether of not it runs well on shitty laptop, lxqt being no faster than xfce in my experience is pretty telling of that
I'm "obsessed" with the sub because of the irony, the lack of certification, and all the stupid decisions that went into it. The cause of the sub's destruction is very interesting to discuss. Every time I learn more about the company and the CEO's decisions, I'm more baffled that anyone went anywhere with them.
The migrant boat situation is super sad and not fun to discuss. I don't come to social media to be depressed.
Dipshits like this are the reason why moderators have such a bad reputation. Powermods in general are very controversial but this person takes the cake.
