👏if you want to censor something, don’t write it 👏

Writing is a tool for communication. Writing something implies your desire to communicate it.

This might land a little controversial but I’ll go one step further and say you should not censor racial/homophobic slurs if they are not being used for offense. For example:

“I hate my cop neighbor, I heard he called my niece a f***ot”

(I obviously censored it here because lemmy prob. has a filter for that shit.)

In this sentence, I am not attacking anyone and I am simply trying to communicate a bad act done by somebody else. The message of the sentence is not homophobic in any way and me censoring the nasty word definitely didn’t change anything about the message. People can still hear that word loud and clear.

So if you think including the word would be offensive for people, and think it’s not a crucial part of your message, simply don’t write it.

“I hate my cop neighbor, I heard he called my niece a homophobic slur”

There you go. You did not communicate the word f***ot and your audience did not receive it. A successful example of self censorship

I am 20. I hate algospeak so bad. But “ahh” kinda stuck in my tongue

“ahh” feels like the sound you’d make when you try to say “ass” quickly

I feel like “ass” and “ahh” conveys different feelings so I use them interchangably. But I still cringe a bit because “ahh” originated from algospeak

Oh I completely forgot about this

I was halfway through designing a fake CDE-styled login page, then I failed to fit it in mobile browsers and then I got distracted.

The file is still sitting there https://aesistril.com/login.html

So initially, this login.html was the homepage and home.html was to be reached by clicking a button on this page.

When I scratched the login page idea, I just renamed index.html -> login.html and then linked home.html -> index.html

Well I could’ve just renamed home.html but I am way too UNIX-headed for that. Lets say its a symbolic link so I could change the homepage easily in the future

If you want something boring, use a static site generator like Hugo. But you already said you found them restrictive

I built my previous site with Ruby Mustache, an extremely simple templating thing. But I abandoned it because it got hard to maintain.

My current site is plain HTML and CSS. This is the way if you want ultimate customizability. It works pretty good and I would recommend it. Simpler is better.

Remember: Having a website was one of the ways people communicated on the net back in the day. HTML and CSS are intended to be used by regular people, they are very easy to learn. Don’t be scared of them

There is no decent WYSIWYG html editor i know of

Show me how you never programmed anything without telling me

Software should be maintained, not built and forgotten about. Windows encourages the latter, which is just straight up bad practice

I was not referring to the post, I was referring to the comment i replied to.

If I wanted to react to the post itself, I would’ve commented on the post

It’s actually irritating to me that the sun is bombarding us with ionizing radiation

(I know, not the same intensity) but think about the amount of precautions we take before turning on a UV lamp. Or before turning on a very bright LED which you are not supposed to look directly at. Well, neither you should look directly at the sun, but you get the idea

In a perspective, sun is so radioactive it can even decay paint and plastic! It can literally cook you alive and make your skin fall in pieces. This just seems usual to us because we were born with it, people would freak the hell out if a medical procedure had the same side effects

Look, I can make a right wing campaign out of this! BAN THE SUN SAVE YOUR KIDS FROM 800T (Terahertz) RADIATION

I used it for a while and I think it’s been one of the best languages I’ve tried. C for example is too barebones for modern desktop apps. Apps written in Rust are great but most of the time, it’s just not worth the effort. And stuff like Python, JS is… uhh… where do I even begin

I think Go hits the sweet spot between these. Unlike C, it at least has some simple error/panic mechanism, GC so you don’t have to worry about memory much and some modern features on top of that. And unlike Python it can actually create reasonably snappy programs.

In any programming language, there will always be multiple cases where you need to link C libraries. CGo, although people don’t seem to be adoring it, is actually… okay? I mean of course it does still have some overhead but it’s still one of the nicer ways to link C libraries with your code. And Go being similar to C makes writing bindings so much easier

Multithreading in Go is lovely. Or as I read somewhere “you merely adopted multithreading, I was born with it”

Packaging is handled pretty nicely, pulling a library from the net is fairly trivial. And the standard directory structure for Go, although I’m not used to it, makes organizing stuff much easier and is easy to adopt

As you would’ve guessed from the amount of times I mentioned C in this comment, I basically see Go as the “bigger C for different situations”
