Looks a lot like Linux with a fvwm95 interface on top. I mean, it's always great and so exciting to see something totally new being created from scratch! But you don't actually need to switch to some entirely homegrown, untest

For that matter, a significant amount of hardware hasn't been updated (or had updated support, rather) to work properly on anything newer than Windows XP! Linux has better support for some hardware than any Windows post-XP does.

Of course, the inherent flip side of making the adverts less obvious is making the content even less obvious still. They've slowly A/B tested their way into using what are basically dark patterns that will be tricking users i

A bad sign? Far from it. It's good that they're still supporting a vintage OS when it matters, even though Windows XP users really should have moved to better options (GNU/Linux, ReactOS, whatever) by now.

Yes, but the folks who are now complaining about Go not being 'community-led' enough were pushing for a module system ("dep") that does not allow for this, and being told that not allowing multiple major versions in the

by 0815test 7y ago
That would be quite ironic indeed. But the Chinese seem to be more invested in MIPS, and even some homegrown x86-64 - so that's probably what we're going to see instead. One thing we should note is that Huawei doesn't really

It's not about learnability, compile times or anything like that - Go has a high-performance concurrent GC and Rust does not. There are whole domains, problems and the like that are basically unapproachable in Rust unless you're

It'll be that too, eventually. But not yet!

If the employees only "own" part of the company while they're employed in good standing, that's not ownership at all. They're just leasing that share, and paying for it quite dearly with 996-ICU work, for that matte

Ironically, large-cardinals and related devices give set theory a rather type-theoretic "flavor". One can definitely explore the very same questions of 'consistency/existence, size or "order" of objects, and ra

Given that our shared culture seems quite committed to labeling all men as "unfair", I'd think that the converse description "the fairer sex" is only... well, fair, y'know.

That depends on what you mean by "inappropriate", of course. People say all sorts of things they don't mean to when they're made uncomfortable by something, and the line between "discomfort", "confusion&q

"Set theory" itself is a bit of an overloaded term; most practical uses of naïve set theory in math do not make use of properties like extensionality or the global membership relation, that characterize axiomatic set theory over
