@aescling become a GROUND-type POKéMON. join us you coward.

@wallhackio i would have used XSLT to do this but that is not a superior take

@wallhackio “wipe it and install linux” fucked or “unable to wipe it and install linux” fucked?

@akjcv @Satsuma well i think wanting a language with an appreciable number of speakers and wanting a language which only good people know might be conflicting aims a little bit

@akjcv i have a conlang which is definitely not used by fascists but it’s not currently used by anyone else either

« My belief is that the last thing a member of an American Linguistics Department wants is to be mistaken for a member of a Speech Department; but if he were to use IPA notation in his writings he would certainly lay himself open to the suspicion that he was. »

@aschmitz (i think actually webkit and chrome depends on libxml2/libxslt and gecko has their own c++ implementation.)

@aschmitz and yes i would love for someone to rewrite it as well (and make it support XML1.1, and XSLT/XPATH 2.0, and 3.0…), but nobody IS going to do that, because it’s very hard, and in the meantime libxml2 is what is available on every platform, and it still has bugs i would love to see get solved

@aschmitz pretty sure all web browsers depend on either it directly or a fork of it (statically linked, probably, and i’m not sure how exactly the code is joined together)

if not, i’d be interested in finding out whatever they ARE using

in my “why are y’all rewriting everything in Rust while critical infrastructure goes unmaintained” era

@wallhackio apparently he doesn’t; « Before Ryuk gives the president the notebook, he informs him of a new Death Note rule recently created by the Shinigami King stating that both the seller and buyer of a Death Note will die. Ryuk states that he is willing to leave the Death Note behind if the president dies, so that the Vice President can use it. Since the president values his life over letting his country use the Death Note, he declines possession of it. Instead, he lies and announces to the world that he has the Death Note, but will refuse to use it, believing this will boost his reputation. Ryuk congratulates him on his shrewd decision and leaves with the Death Note. »

@aescling @wallhackio anyway if they think proofs that prove mathematics for humans are insufficient i am curious what other audience for their mathematics they are imagining

@aescling @wallhackio “sure i know about the incompleteness theorems but i still think mathematics can be represented in a CFG”
