Funny, for me it is exactly the opposite: I can read the actual text very easily, but the “Written in Ghost Text” is barely perceptible to the point I would have completely missed it, if it were not for the comment pointing it out here.

I really do not like that Drew (the owner and developer) is extremely dogmatic and political, and likes to get involved in what is and is jot allowed to be hosted on “his” forge. Imo, service providers should be neutral and get involved onl

> $6.6 billion will end world hunger And then you ask how, and you just get hand waving. Elon Musk offered the money if somebody would provide a coherent plan of how to solve world hunger with it. Nobody could.

It is a bit buried, but Podman now follows the UAPI Configuration Files Specification as well as the Base Directory Specification. This is great!

Some people like to claim that using a pretty esoteric language with lots of weird footguns, lack of basic features and data types, and spawning subprocesses for everything, is somehow keeping it simple. I do not understand them.

No, you won’t be able to do that, because going online, or even logging into your PC will require ID verification.

It does indeed seem like a harsh sentence. Something the article could focus on, instead of being disingenuous.

There is no inherent added latency. That only applies for the translation layer, when there is no native support.

> You have to build your projects to these specifications, or you will be held accountable! What specifications? Oh, you will have to pay to access them. This is essentially a protection racket. Ludicrous.

Last time I checked (a few years ago), you had to pay some ridiculous price (230$ iirc) to view the SQL specification. SQL!

You have not heard if before, because that is the most naive and stupid take imaginable. It is the “let them eat cake” of networking. It does not work like that. Put extra octets where exactly? Where would a hardware router put the extra by

Milliseconds matter for gaming, for example.

> Is IPv6 really that widely used? Mobile carriers use it almost exclusively, which is already a huge chunk of the internet, and newer ISPs are switching to it too. > I'm supporting both because I heard it's good to support

I would not build my philosophy on the marketing talk of a well-known impulsive liar. Sam, by his own admission, does not even know that much about LLMs, but he is so good at sales that somehow people take what he says for gospel anyway.

With agentic vibe-codig, we can accelerate that process 100x and turn any codebase into unmaintainable slop within merely a week! See Bun, for example.
