(original post wasn’t about Swift, but i was just thinking about it versus such languages as Zig and Rust which target much larger sets of platforms)

it does bother me that Swift isn’t more portable but i also understand that the reason Swift isn’t more portable is because it supports such advanced features as “Unicode”

and i would take “there are just multiple interoperable Swift implementations”; that would be better actually

which is more efficient:

• writing the software library once, making it portable across many platforms, and then dealing with the ensuing portability concerns for decades to come

• writing the software library multiple times

always bothered me that snickerdoodles don't contain snickers. snickersdoodles

i just wanted to file a bug 😩

so far from what i understand it’s working in spain but not on either side of the united states

did the united states government D·N·S block the gnome foundation

uhhhhh gnome.org u ok?

(the short version is that the cgi service runs as a different user than owns the repository, which git doesn’t allow anymore unless you specifically opt in via a global .gitconfig)

apparently at some point my git updated to break https fetching from my gitweb server; i’d apologize but 0 people have noticed and sent me an email about it so
