I think what Kualk@lemm.ee is getting at is that Typst also a paid web app developed by a for-profit company. This same company is who manages the github repo for the Typst language compiler. They seem to take issue that this post is promoting a partially open-source project for a for-profit company.

DaleGribble88@programming.devto Programming@programming.dev•How am i supposed to learn C# ?English8·5 months agoMost probably, yes. A lot of these are fundamental concepts of most modern object-oriented languages that I am familiar with. It may be worth refreshing your basic programming skills/concepts with a book you like. There are plenty available online for free in C#, Java, C++, Go, etc.
DaleGribble88@programming.devto Politics@beehaw.org•Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warns anti-Biden Democrats about what comes next if they succeedEnglish5·11 months agoTo my point- that’s all I’ve ever heard about a Biden presidency.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely in “vote blue no matter who” mode. That said, if I can vote for someone that I actually like and that I feel has a better chance of winning, then all the better.
DaleGribble88@programming.devto Politics@beehaw.org•Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warns anti-Biden Democrats about what comes next if they succeedEnglish14·11 months agoIf there is a rule written down somewhere, then follow those rules if they want.
The DNC is a private organization, they can do whatever they want for whatever reason they want.
It probably wouldn’t make everyone happy if they skipped steps in their normal procedures, but I say “When has the DNC ever cared about making everyone happy?” It’s a big tent with a foundation of begrudging compromise. Some people will be upset, but they have months to get over it.
DaleGribble88@programming.devto Programming.dev Meta@programming.dev•New alternate frontend: Tesseract. Photon now semi-supportedEnglish1·11 months agoI’m glad that the server team is experimenting and trying new things out. This looks really cool for someone!
I just really hope this isn’t a preamble to becoming the new default theme, because I really dislike this. It reminds me of other social media services that I go out of my way to avoid.
I particularly dislike the infinitely scrolling dark pattern, but I also don’t like that it displays all content immediately, wasting bandwidth, making it difficult to see headlines, and more difficult to ignore previously seen content.
DaleGribble88@programming.devto Neovim@programming.dev•Showing off my new alien spaceship themed tabby.nvim setup :D (feat. neovide, fzf, airline, markview)English3·1 year agoI love watching your cursor zoom around the window. Is that a feature of Neovide or something else that you have configured?
DaleGribble88@programming.devto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Star Trek Is Showing More Love To Scott Bakula’s EnterpriseEnglish4·1 year agoI’ve only made it to season 2, so I’m holding out hope that it gets better, but lazily progressive seems to describe it pretty well.
The one that really rubs me rough it how Tilly is very clearly coded to be some type of neuro divergent, probably autistic, but also only when it is convenient and quirky and will not interfere with the plot too much.
Her suddenly being very socially adept when the plot needed her to pretend to be an evil commander or whatever, and she dropped all of her character flaws to make it happen just felt so out of character and lazy.
Also the scenes with Spock and “child abuse bad” at the start of the red angel arc was very ham fisted.
I much preferred how SNW handled the “our wonderful society is supported by horrible child labor and death” arc. Still about as subtle as a brick, but it at least felt like an attempt was made to encode a message, and not just saying it at the viewer like a pre-school cartoon recapping the message of the episode.

DaleGribble88@programming.devto Programming@programming.dev•browse (Old) Reddit with Lemmy styleEnglish9·1 year agoNot really, once Reddit closed off their API to all but the absolute highest of bidders, it broke a lot of functionality of a lot of smaller apps like this. You might still be able to find something to spruce up the CSS client side somewhere, but a lot of devs abandoned the ecosystem once Reddit, the company, made it clear in no uncertain terms that community support and 3rd party partnerships were unwelcome.
DaleGribble88@programming.devto World News@lemmy.ml•Mass knife killing Sydney AustraliaEnglish1·1 year agoGlancing over their other comments for about 15 seconds, I’m going to vote yes: it’s sarcasm.
DaleGribble88@programming.devto Science Memes@mander.xyz•this one goes out to the arts & humanitiesEnglish74·1 year agoIt feels like you didn’t read the 2nd half of their comment. They do practice. They have a creative side that they want to explore, but they don’t enjoy that sort of grind. Instead, they like tinkering and combining tools in interesting ways. I don’t think this is a bad thing.
Leo Fender didn’t play guitar and always wished that he’d sit down and devoted the time, but never actually enjoyed it. But to say that Leo didn’t contribute to the music world, would be insane.
DaleGribble88@programming.devto Programming@programming.dev•'Don't parse markup languages with Regex' is an annoying trollpost and it should die... right?English4·1 year agoHTML parsers scare me. I already knew it was a big job, but this blog post sealed the deal that HTML, err… the web’s interpretation of HTML(?), is one heck of a mess.

DaleGribble88@programming.devto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•As someone not in tech, I have no idea how to refer to my tech friends' jobsEnglish2·1 year agoFrom someone who transitioned from operations to development over the course of their admittedly short career, this is a poor mindset. Much like how you shouldn’t disrespect a janitor or a nurse, you shouldn’t say “gross” about IT work.
IT may not be the reason for the company’s existence, but it is what allows it. The company may not exist without you, but you don’t exist without IT.
DaleGribble88@programming.devto Technology@beehaw.org•Reddit signs $60M contract allowing AI company to train its models on the social media platform's contentEnglish2·1 year agoYeah! Here, no one gets paid when someone else wants to profit off of all the free user generated content. Wait, what was our goal again?
What happened to you “By Default”? You can’t just drop 3 absolutely amazing videos in the span of a month, then enter complete radio silence for 4(+???) Months! My heart can’t take it…
DaleGribble88@programming.devto Technology@beehaw.org•Exploring Reddit’s third-party app environment 7 months after the APIcalypseEnglish10·1 year agoCommunity isolation is still a big problem. Federated services like lemmy will never reach critical mass until owners start limited communities to force more user interaction, and cross posting becomes more streamlined. My favorite proposal as a solution is to allow mods of a community to subscribe to another community, and allows it to synchronize posts and comments.
DaleGribble88@programming.devto Technology@beehaw.org•Stop using Opera Browser and Opera GXEnglish8·1 year agoVivaldi has been my browser of choice for years as well. Fantastic product in my experience. I’ve sadly forced myself to start using firefox and librewolf in an attempt support alternatives to chromium based browsers. Firefox and co. are fine, but I’m still reaching for features and options from vivaldi that just don’t exist in firefox without a maze of incompatible and poorly maintained plugins.
AI has currently captured the public consciousness more than tax codes ever will. My theory is that it offers a simple scapegoat to a complex series of problems, and that is easier for stock trading masses to understand
