It's interesting, I don't see this argument made against other open source projects that are dominant, such as the Linux kernel. I rarely see people saying that there need to be competing kernel projects with completely separate c

I know what Google is. Aren't changes to many open source projects gated, like the Linux kernel? On a serious note, doesn't the license allow forks? Couldn't a large company just fork it and make changes without Google's

But if that engine is open source, isn't that a good thing? There's a single standard but anyone can contribute patches for increased performance, new features, etc?

I think it depends on the company and where you live. This culture may be prevalent in Silicon Valley, but less so in other places. I live in Denver and every interview process I've gone through is different. For one, I walked in and

"Support costs" calculation often doesn't include the costs of not having support. When I worked at GoDaddy, there were around 2/3 of the company was customer support. At the current company I'm at, a cryptocurren

This is a System76 laptop which only puts Linux on their laptops, so it's specifically designed for it. The two mDP connectors are only connected to the Nvidia chip, so maybe the Intel IGP isn't powerful enough to drive 3 4k moni

You think that's bad? I'm using Linux at work on a laptop specifically designed for Linux and it's been a nightmare to get even basic functions to work right. The computer immediately resumes after going to sleep, it took se

I see training as the most important thing to change to address the shootings that many of us, outside of law enforcement, see as preventable. I have two brothers that are CHP. They have never discharged their weapons at an individual, but

SourceTree has a native Mac and a native Windows app. I would guess that they are completely different code bases.

Usability is a key issue. My employer requires that emails with certain types of content be sent with a GPG signature. I spent a few hours today figuring out the best way to do it. First, I used the CLI to < echo "..." | gpg

This is what Arizona did. They just went to MST. If California likes PDT, then MST is the exact same thing.

Everytime the government changes the rules, people have to modify the firmware of basically any device with a clock, the people have to go around updating those (especially ones that don't have any auto update mechanism). Source: I&#x

This is how Microsoft code signing working. Your certificate just needs to be said valid at the time it was signed by using a timestamp service.

Portability. You need to have access to your authentication mechanism from multiple devices, phones, laptops, desktops, even other people's computers. That's why the password still exists. I raised this issue with the WebAuthenti

There are 2 dies in the 1950X, each one has 2 memory channels. Thus, it's possible to run a process on one (8-core) die that maxes out the memory bandwidth to it's two local DDR4 channels while the other die still has full bandwi

I've been Mormon my whole life and Utah still feels weird to me. The culture is definitely influenced by the Church, but the culture is distinctly "Utahn". Go meet some Mormons in California, New York, or out of the country

I've been an active member my whole life (38) and I've never even heard of "space doctrine". I looked it up and as far as I can tell, there are some theories by members of the Church but nothing from any current or form

The article mentions that MNG supports sprites and commands for movement, which would make animations not only take up less storage space in the file but also much crisper.

I have a VPS I use for VPN, which means, unfortunately, no custom kernels or kernel modules. So, I'm stuck with OpenVPN. It would be awesome to have WireGuard included in the kernel by default.

But how do you know which CLI program to use? Also, help is nice but I often end up having to search up examples to find out when certain options are appropriate. awk is my very least favorite in terms of "ease of use".
