@natty I mean, a package manager isn't really necessary for this property to hold true; but the language does need to define a dependency model (even if it leaves the providing of those dependencies undefined).
Node.js had the node_modules structure before npm existed, for example, and that structure is what gave it this property
@marvado Een hoop mensen. Ik kwam het net weer tegen in de documentatie voor een andere taal (Vale), maar het is bij lange na niet de eerste keer dat ik dit hoor.
@serapath It would, but I'm looking for things that aren't JS :)
@serapath @jacksonchen666 That already exists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Computer_Language_Benchmarks_Game
The problem is that the data is completely useless for any practical purpose, because real-world performance bottlenecks are basically never in the things being tested, and often aren't even computationally bound to begin with
@raito It's where I put all my various notes and writings :)

How do librarians remotely access their computers?
ssh!
@jacksonchen666 It isn't at all though!
I am (still) looking for programming languages that meet the two following requirements:
1. Has a project-local, nested dependency/module mechanism (see https://wiki.slightly.tech/books/miscellaneous-notes/page/transitive-dependencies-and-the-commons for explanation)
2. Does *not* have an import-all feature; ie. a way to import a module that causes all its contents to be injected into scope directly. I want languages that require explicit references of some kind (prefixing things with the module name is good enough).
Where do people get this idea that C and/or C++ represent a theoretical boundary of maximum performance, and nothing can be faster?
Ah yes, rubber "recycling" - shredding tires and stuffing it into the soil as filler: https://hermeq.nl/nl/rubber-mulch.html
Really raises the question of where the boundary between "recycling" and "landfill" even is, doesn't it
@sindarina The line between satire and reality is so blurry nowadays :(

@sindarina Honestly I think the explanation for that is a lot simpler: the reluctant parties are primarily those who have lots of IPv4 addresses, and who are probably well-aware that that hoard is only worth a significant pile of money as long as people need them, ie. as long as IPv6 cannot be assumed to be present. They have a direct financial interest in being slow about IPv6.

re: uspol, angry
@joepie91 it's also called "appeasement". You know, something that worked out very well in Europe in the years of 1933 to 1940 /s

What particularly pisses me off is how some people are going "well Zelenskyy should not have pressed the issue of security guarantees, and just accepted the implicit promise".
First of all, an 'implicit promise' is worth fuck all when you are dealing with someone who has no sense of obligation towards promises in the first place, like Trump. If it's not on paper or video, it doesn't exist.
But perhaps more important is the underlying subtext of this criticism. Because that subtext is "well you know Trump is volatile and unreliable, so you shouldn't do anything to provoke him, and instead navigate around it".
That's a very familiar pattern. You know what it's called? "Enabling an abuser" and "victim blaming".
@JennyFluff On some Thinkpad (and Latitude) models the buttons above the touchpad are wired to the keyboard and the (optionally present) buttons *below* the touchpad are wired to the touchpad. So potentially just a single device failure caused both issues
