Why do piracy apps still put their source on github? It’s just asking for trouble…

You do have to consider that Intel has a head start of multiple decades, should’ve had a war-chest the size of a nation (like Nintendo), and has a nigh monopoly position in the CPU market. Intel also has preferential treatment in the US (similar to Microsoft), so it’s not it isn’t already being funded by the US government.

You don’t catch up on decades of research just by pumping in money. That’s like trying to have a baby faster by having more women.

Trying to pretend Intel is the underdog in this scenario is not credible. Despite - or maybe exactly due to, their head start, pseudo-leaders who thought they could survive any boneheaded decision are giving that lead away. And yet again, tax payer money may have to be used to correct the decisions of a private company (yes publicly traded but the government doesn’t own Intel). Privatise profits, nationalise debt. Works every time!

Fan-made, for free, no opensource 🤨 I feel like there’s going to be a “surprise” in the near future.

Oh, so if China helps out their companies, it’s meddling but if the US government fucking bails out a company that should go bankrupt because of dreadful and shit management, it’s a necessary step to secure national interests. So much for “the free market will regulate itself”.

Hypocrites.

Was IPFS considered? I’ve tried it myself but it seems like an unstable product and I’m not sure if it’s living up to its promise…

The bloody managers are the biggest problem. Most don’t understand code much less the process of making a software product. They force you into idiotic meetings where they want to change how things work because they “don’t have visibility into the process” which just translated to “I don’t understand what you’re doing”.

Also trying to force people who love machines but people less so into leading people is a recipe for unhappiness.

But at least the bozos at the top get to make the decisions and the cheddar for being ignorant and not listening.

This is a great initiative and I wish there were more orgs that did this. However, I’m now convinced that we need opensource licenses which stipulate remuneration when used for financial gain.

Even the creators of languages don’t know their own languages 100%. I wouldn’t even call them the limit. So, I’m good enough in my main language that a lot of code doesn’t surprise me. And I try very hard to write code that others can understand as well when in a team.

That’s worthy of a bug report…

Growing up with too much available goods makes people like this. People throw away food like it’s nothing, it was only a matter of time until people did this with phones.

You know, if they used the PR workflow with a CI that enforced standardised commit messages, this could be quite easily solved? Forcing everything through a mailing list seems to create more work for maintainers…

They can hire? I thought they were in danger of getting wiped out by legal costs. Have charges been dropped?

Bad title. It should be that Asahi Linux Vulkan driver lands many fixes and features. Malus has no credit whatsoever in this regard. They didn’t contribute zilch.

Is zig memory safe by design? If not, rust will “win”. Large companies aren’t going to hire for an unknown or unpopular memory unsafe language when they already have C or C++ - there’s just no contest.

Last I read, zig didn’t even have a standard string library. Unless that changes, it won’t even be a viable alternative to C/C++.

Edit: I checked and got this

the Zig language, like C, entrusts memory management to humans, placing full trust in human development. Zig then provides some memory safety checks to ensure memory safety. However, it still lacks the strict compile-time guarantees of Rust’s ownership system and borrow checker. Therefore, when writing Zig code, developers need to pay more attention to potential memory safety issues and ensure that errors and exceptional situations are handled correctly.

Maven and Cradle might be terrible, but C and C++ have fucking nothing in terms of dependency management. Even C# has something that few people use, but it has something. C and C++ are such a shit show to build. It’s so bad they had to invent languages to build them and they regularly fuck up (CMake, make, bison, scons, meson, …).

Pull a C or C++ project on a distro or environment and try to build it and you have to dive in the abyss of undeclared dependencies. And good fucking luck with glibc and glib dependencies. If the dev doesn’t know which version they were actually using, it’s up to you to find out. Fun for the entire family!

Sounds like a place for toots 🤔 Signal supports admin only chat rooms. Maybe they’ll be able to support >1k in the future. Dunno if MLS will be able to do that.

What the fuck? I’ve never seen a chatroom that big. Must be absolute chaos…

Or are those “just” distribution channels aka admin only posts?
