For what it's worth, I've used it on a real "desktop os" albeit on the framebuffer to make a couple full screen (1900x1200 resolution) applications and it worked really well. Biggest issue is lack of native support for m

Can you expand on your vaporware claims? I don't see what in the link would suggest that. And for some of us, not focusing on AI is a good thing. A physics and simulation focus with gobs of memory is certainly intriguing to me.

For more oddly adorable hummingbirds, I highly recommend this video of a swarm of them having a bit of a party in the water fountain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeKu6NEf02g Incredible little feathered narwhal bees. And

Another fun bird fact about bluejays and crows: listening for a bunch of screaming crows and/or jays is a good way of finding owls, as they both seem to have an inherent hatred of owls, and harass them whenever given a chance. In my ar

I really like marginalia; even more so in this day and age where most search engines are filled to the brim with useless AI ad-infested muck. I find myself turning to marginalia search more often to find real people discussing or writing ab

I've got a mockingbird that comes and asks for food every morning. The cardinals and titmice will fly up to the tree outside the window and wait as soon as I open the window, but the mockingbird will sit on the tray on the window and s

But at no point does any of what you type need to be sent to Mozilla. That only needs to be between the browser and the configured search engine and nothing in between.

Absolutely no judgement for however people want to licence and distribute their software, but I've seen the support burden used as justification for closed source/selling software quite a bit recently, and wonder how often people

I'm right there with you on using :term. I also do a lot of work on console only tty's without X or gui environments and splitting between code/text and term is very handy.

And I imagine there will likely be a sudden increase in the number of classified software projects and national security systems in the next 180 days. This may very well be another case of a law trying to make things better, but ultimately

The idea that it's wrong to use slavery as a cheap labor force is also modern and outside historical norms. Just because it's historically prevalent doesn't make something right or even good/acceptable. Some things based

I've said it before, but I feel like I need to keep saying it: If the people actually using/consuming a product aren't willing to pay the cost required to make/produce said product, then that's probably a good indic

I would argue that in many ways (that vary from project to project) the duplicated efforts are a good thing overall. Now, instead of having one single group or person working on a particular topic, there are many and the knowledge, learning

Additionally, having worked with some of their network devices at the driver level, they seem to be kludge piled on top of hack poured over a soup of workarounds for hardware bugs. Maybe they've gotten better recently, but just looking

I thought the funding section was a little odd; I was under the impression that Bill was being paid by JangaFX to develop/maintain the language? But I think the corporate sponsorship of language development should be the norm. If exist

Another incredible agent in WWII was Virginia Hall, aka the limping lady, who managed some pretty incredible feats, escapes, and rescues and did so with only one leg. For a (hopefully entertaining) rundown of her exploits, you can watch thi

It's got a fairly linux like ABI, though we don't aim or care to be 1-1 compatible, and it has/requires our own custom interfaces. Porting most software that was written for linux is usually pretty easy. But we can't jus

This is accurate. I'm an OS/kernel developer and a colleague was given the task of porting rust to our OS. If I remember correctly, it did indeed take months. I don't think mrustc was an option at the time for reasons I don&#

The practical concern for my colleagues and me is that we're OS/kernel developers for an operating system that isn't currently supported. I had to fight these kind of problems to get java ported to our OS, and a coworker had

If there aren't enough people willing to pay for someone else's work product to make it worth the producers time/effort, then I'd argue that maybe that work product is not actually worth producing in the first place. In

There are also a handful of 3d terminal/ASCII engines out there like this one: https://github.com/sephirot47/AsciiEngine Arguably less useful than something like pygamelib, but still pretty fun.

Officially supported? Yes. With no changes? Largely, but you usually configure and compile it with your application for the platform you're targeting, so the vast majority of your code should be the same, but it might require some twea
