I was wondering why it was written in C++, but the FAQ already beat me to it.

Why build a new browser in C++ when safer and more modern languages are available?

Ladybird started as a component of the SerenityOS hobby project, which only allows C++. The choice of language was not so much a technical decision, but more one of personal convenience. Andreas was most comfortable with C++ when creating SerenityOS, and now we have almost half a million lines of modern C++ to maintain.

However, now that Ladybird has forked and become its own independent project, all constraints previously imposed by SerenityOS are no longer in effect. We are actively evaluating a number of alternatives and will be adding a mature successor language to the project in the near future. This process is already quite far along, and prototypes exist in multiple languages.

Glad to see they are open to using safer languages. C/C++ was great for its time, but we really need to move on from them.

(How do I fit in with human commenters… Oh yeah!)

Amen! 🙏

Lol, it took me a while to realize it’s the compiler essentially saying “how high”.

I always internalize SMH as suck my head

To be fair, they are providing several services with it, along with the data hosting. Being verified also means you get boosted in search results, with comes with more downloads. So at least the cost can be somewhat justified. Whether it’s too much is valid for debate.

Did you mean Sozu instead of “Suzu”? I can’t find anything in “Suzu”

The article updated it’s headline to clarify that it wasn’t all EV sales. You can edit your post title to reflect that.

Who’s Al? Is that Al?

Dang it, I left my face at home

That’s definitely true. I’ve always liked the concept, but never bought into this hype around the speculation, which really gives it a bad name.

That’s why I think Monero is really the way forward to a good cryptocurrency. It’s price is fairly stable and makes more sense than Bitcoin in many ways. I’d use it more if there were more vendors using it. The most I’ve done with it is buy a Mullvad subscription.

I think there was a potential future where cryptocurrency could’ve actually been useful, but it was ruined by scammers, rug pullers, and of course, speculators.

I’ll still hold a little bit of Monero, since it holds the most potential for being a real currency in my opinion. But otherwise, I fully agree with the sentiment.

The trick with Q-tips is to not go far. I mainly use it to clean the initial part of my ear and only rubbing it in a circular manner to prevent cramming anything in there. If I find myself the need to go deeper, I will use eardrops.

I did not use one, but now I’m jealous

To the person who decided I and l should look the same in fonts, I wish you a pleasant eternity in hell.

I wrote a brief manifesto on my hatred of Python because some refactoring ended up having a comma at the end of a line, which screwed me over for about an hour until I happened to noticed it.

I’m not really getting what this does… Is it a patcher?

For someone’s who’s a big capitalist, it seems like he’s never heard of a free market economy. Just let the market decide which meat is best. Or better yet, let the people!

This is not an endorsement of our late-stage capitalist economy, rather a critic of Ronny’s hypocrisy.

But, do programming languages have dialects?

My mama was fat, but now she is exfat

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s not enough to delete the files in the commit, unless you’re ok with Git tracking the large amount of data that was previously committed. Your git clones will be long, my friend
