"Scare quotes" definitely precede Austin Powers, though that may have spurred a rise in popularity of the usage. (Also, "trashy people never saw Austin Powers" is honestly a pretty weird statement, IMO.)
That said, in this case, arguably the quotes are appropriate, because "the github dictionary" isn't something that happened (i.e. a headline), but a thing they've made up.
That one actually seems plausible, if he ever learns about that whole thing
The author doesn't explain exactly what their interest in bootstrapping is, but the goal is pretty explicit:
So, for me, it would be really nice if there was a Rust compiler that could be bootstrapped from C. Specifically, a Rust compiler that can be bootstrapped from TinyCC, while assuming that there are no tools on the system yet that could be potentially useful.
Sorry, why would you be "boned" if you have UTC time? Are you thinking of the case where the desired behavior is to preserve the local time, rather than the absolute time?
WASM has no native ability to access most web APIs, including the DOM. JavaScript is literally unavoidable on the front end.
A language being compiled should be able to support higher-level language concepts than what the target supports natively. That's how compiling works in the first place.
They also changed the wording from "closed" to "on hold" years ago, and I don't think I've ever seen the people complaining about the site take any notice.
Are you sure the frameworks you've tried are actually "discontinued"? C++/CX is still supported, it's just not recommended because WinRt is standard-compliant (CX uses compiler extensions) and has some other advantages. UWP is also still supported.
"used to"?
GNU ls has those features too (except knowing about Git). I'd be surprised if BSD ls doesn't at least have color support.
...not that I'm not going to check out eza and probably switch to it! But it's often worth knowing what features the GNU/BSD coreutils do or do not support...especially when comparing other tools against them.
Edit: I just checked, and this set of options works on both BSD and GNU ls, in case anyone wants better ls behavior on a system where you can't install eza for some reason:
ls -FH --color=auto
F appends sigils indicating executables, symlinks, or directories, and H follows any symlinks in the argument list.
fd saves me so much time. I actually understand find better than I wish I did, and fd is just so, so much easier.
I think the point of the question is what a hypothetical ideal language for CI/CD pipelines would look like.
