Purely hypothetical, hasn't happened yet. The reason is that Linux system vendors are lead and staffed by people who are idealistic like the average Linux system customer. They know their clientele, they know it would be bad for business.

> Perl nowadays have TypeScript-style type checking for function parameters.

I can't believe that.

TS code, compile time error "TS2345: Argument of type 'null' is not assignable to parameter of type 'number'."

    function foo(x: number): void {};
    foo(null);

Perl code:

    use Kavorka qw(fun);
    use Types::Standard qw(Num);
    fun foo(Num $x) {}
    foo(undef);

This code passes CHECK (perl -c), but should not if you are correct.

I invite you to prove the claim. Rewrite this with any module you like.

Because perl5 Types::Standard went the broken python way of type hints.

cperl types worked, and actually made it faster.

Can the software dump the recognised pitch and lyrics and timings to Performous text format? There's no formal specification, but examples are available on https://performous.org/songs

In case HN shows its user hostility again by cutting off the URI fragment, the intended deep-link was presentation slide #/4/1/1

Ugh, deep links should be part of the path, and anchor should be where on the page to scroll. Very annoying slide software. If the content weren't so good I simply wouldn't bother.

HTML+JavaScript-based statically hostable apps (eg. presentations) can't use paths as deep links, since there's no standard for simple static hosting or URL rewriting (even 30 years later). Oh well.

You should be able to use the query part of the URL (after ?). You can get at it with Javascript, but it doesn't influence which static HTML page is served.

I'm not sure why people hate using the query string so much.

They absolutely can generate the file tree so that each slide has its own url.

They also could use the query part on the url rather than anchor.

Lastly statically hosted doesn't mean no URL rewriting, they could again catch links to parts easily.

The poor UX of these tools is just a lack of will, not a technical limitation.

Then again hacker news should probably not blanket delete the hash in URLs either.

Yes to both. Sailfish is a reasonably vanilla Linux with GNU userland. You install libhybris if you want to run Android software in addition to the native software.

Firefox 91 is installed on OS 5.0.0.73. Jolla just needs to spend resources to keep it up-to-date.

> Ghostty is […] feature-rich […] uses platform-native UI

What goes through the head of a developer when writing such blatant lies in the introduction text? What does he think he accomplishes by doing so? Is he so deluded that he thinks behaviour like this is somehow socially acceptable and the readers just nod along and no one is going notice and criticise him for that? Really, it's like the mind of children in an adult body, no concept of reputational damage.

I just installed Ghostty and cannot help but conclude that the claims are wrong, abundantly so. Compare it with the incumbent Konsole. It is clear to anyone to see that Ghostty has about 0.3% of its features. If I were to enumerate everything that's missing, I would not be able to stop until tomorrow.

It suffices to point out that there is no menu bar, no icon toolbar, no l10n, no settings dialogue, no key-bindings dialogue, no scrollbar, no search, and it would go on and on and on. The sad thing is, if the developer actually used the platform-native UI like he claims, then he would instantly get the first five without lifting a finger!

"my" is 33% shorter than "let"

Example 1 and 3 are not declarations, so apples ↔ oranges

Example 1 is a declaration in Go. Example 3 is a declaration in Python.

my $x = 42;

let x = 42

Well, when you add in the '$' and ';' tokens the "let" example is still shorter. Also as another person replied to you, those other two examples are declarations in other languages. So 0 for 3 there.
