GTK is written in C, not JS.

The android phone app warns about suspected spam callers, and project fi has a spam filtering feature that has worked pretty well for me.

I switched to Dvorak years ago and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. It has downsides (awkwardness when typing on others' machines, difficulty typing with one hand while on the phone), but the lack of pain in my hands/wrists is worth it many times over.

A good lightweight alternative is js-joda. I recently switched from moment.js and I've been very happy with it.

Is it possible to match the end of a slice with slice patterns? Something like:
fn foo(s: &[char]) {
match s {
['a', 'b'] => (),
[.. 'b', 'c'] => (),
_ => (),
}

From the section on TypeScript:
> enums, which are basically like Java’s enums.
They really aren't. Java enums are somewhat unique in that they are full-fledged classes, not just glorified constants. TS enums are much closer to those of C#.

> Go has more of a focus on simplicity.
But specifically on simplicity of implementation. Which often means pushing the complexity onto the developer.
This line from the article is a pretty good summary of Go in general:
> It looks to me a like a big flaw in the language design to make its implementation easier.

I experience something very similar. It turned out to be at least in part from eye strain induced headaches ("computer vision syndrome"). I started paying more attention to ocular health, including following the recommendation of a comment here [0] and lowering screen brightness. It does seem to be helping.

> We just don't provide Linux binaries, except Ubuntu Snaps, because it is extremely difficult to do.
Have you considered packaging with Flatpak [0] as well? Very similar to Snaps, but it'll work with many distros instead of just Ubuntu.

I do this, but not mainly to find bugs, though on rare occasions I do. I almost always find something, e.g. stylistic aberrations, overzealous changes from an intellij refactor, debug statements I forgot to remove, part of another change I'd thought I'd stashed but somehow ended up in the commit. It blows my mind that anybody would not read their diffs.

> Who the hell would write prose by making all the verbs blue, the nouns red, and the adverbs green (or something to that effect).
Slightly off topic, but I think doing this could actually be useful for learning languages, especially highly inflected ones (if you extend the color coding to account for gender, case, etc.).
