Why is there Linux logo on the books?

If there is one Lisp function/macro/feature that you would like to see in a non-Lisp language, which one would it be? in c/lisp@lemmy.ml

Scheme
Zig
(let loop ((...)) (cond ...))

I love how recursive looping reads and unfortunately there aren't many languages implementing this approach.

What one thing about your country do you miss while living in another country? in c/asktheworld@lemm.ee

[–] tentaclius@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Belarusian living in Bulgaria. To my huge surprise I miss the affordability and quality of banking services and cellphone providers. Local food while delicious is also very fat compared to what I'm used to.

Well, we sit on the ground and dig holes with a stick. I mean... that's what men supposed to do...

Nobody knows (/s) but you don't have to write keywords in upper case (for most DB's default settings anyway).

Most of us hate Microsoft, and yet many of us use VSCode in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] tentaclius@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Been using NeoVide for a while for that matter. It's mostly ok. I'll definitely give LV a try, thanks for the suggestion

I use NeoVim, but I don't hate Microsoft (they contribute a lot to Linux kernel). What is wrong with me?

i find it's a great tool. in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

[–] tentaclius@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Every new tools (especially those being pushed by big corporations) meets resistance and suspicion. It's a new thing to learn instead of something proven to work, usually more resource-hungry...

How does healthcare work in your country? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] tentaclius@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Sounds pretty terrible though. Paying $200 monthly to pay $20 for a simple visit is insane to me. I'm an expat living in Europe (so I don't have the full privileges of locals), yet I pay about $200 per year for private medical insurance which makes doctor visits pretty much free for me. There is also an extended health insurance from the company (costs me about $20 monthly), which covers drugs, dental health an profilactical visits for free

What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts? in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

[–] tentaclius@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I play a lot lately with SuperCollider (sound design + algorithmic composition software) and I love it. I don't even think there is a commercial alternative.

How many people actually dropped Reddit for Lemmy? in c/reddit@lemmy.ml

[–] tentaclius@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Found myself there recently for a tech-related google search. Was happy to see the answer I was there for was removed by its author and their account was deleted.

Count me in. Removed my account after I had heard that admins are removing mods from the closed/nsfw subreddits. The content on Lemmy is not that diverse yet, I miss regional or nieche technical communities sometimes. But I hope things will get better eventually.
