I have a splitter but it's pretty niche and probably not the best DAC

He sucks too. Not everyone is working backwards from their team sports fandoms.

aconfmgr[https://github.com/CyberShadow/aconfmgr] is a kinda similar project for pacman-based distributions.

The difference is that it strives to track all non-user files, (not just packages, and especially /etc), but you can adopt it partially.

If you want to get to a higher level compiler, prompt fondling will not suffice; you need to master formal specification. Then machine learning algorithms can do the program synthesis to implement the spec. But just talking out your vague software requirements with a chatbot is not analogous to programming.

Also, like others said, even once you have your formal spec, C is a particularly bad choice (unless you want to specify quite a bit more). You want the program implemented in a language with as many safety constraints on it as possible, not one where you have to mentally track memory.

> In June 2025, WBD announced plans to separate its Streaming & Studios and Global Networks divisions into two separate publicly traded companies. This separation is now expected to be completed in Q3 2026, prior to the closing of this transaction. The newly separated publicly traded company holding the Global Networks division, Discovery Global, will include premier entertainment, sports and news television brands around the world including CNN, TNT Sports in the U.S., and Discovery, free-to-air channels across Europe, and digital products such as Discovery+ and Bleacher Report.

So no, I don't think this gets in the way of Ellison taking over the rest of TV news; if anything it seems like it smooths the path.

Exactly, I want it to complain if I try to manipulate the fields/methods of an unknown object.

Option is a pretty common name for this, as is Maybe.[^1] Either way I think that ship is sailed in Python.

Yeah post 3.10 you don't need Union, Optional, List, Duct, Tuple. Any still necessary when you want to be permissive, and I'm still hoping for an Unknown someday...

How does oklch compare to CIELCh(uv)? I've been using that seemingly similar system to pick uniform colors.

AI more like crypto every day, including victim-blaming "you're doing it wrong" hand waves whenever some fresh hell is documented.

Would you like to count the number of spaces that various items in your manifests are indented and then pass that as an argument to a structure-unaware text file templating engine? Would you like to discover your inevitable yaml file templating errors after submitting those manifests to the cluster? Then yes, you are really missing out!

For one thing, inferred types may feel easy to use when implemented (well) but they are not easy to implement.

This advice is missing something crucial which is how to discover new creators sans feeds. Not saying it's impossible, but it's something they excel at and they've extinguished a lot of the old ways.

What's the contribution model moving forward? I see the repository is still active, but is it not still under the Eleven's control? How will it evolve when they stop accepting pull requests?

Only thing I'd quibble with is the reason most consumers switched off of pseudoephedrine. The manufacturers knew that the inconvenience of having to go to the counter would reduce sales so they just replaced it in the aisle with an identically branded product with a different active ingredient. Most people made no affirmative choice at all; they're just buying "Sudafed", but now it's a placebo.

Python doesn't use semantic versioning. The number after the first period is a major (annual) release and can and does contain breaking changes (though so far never on the scale of the 2->3 upgrade).

We may never see a 4.0 because of the scar tissue, but the language continues to evolve.
