I think this is interesting take. But I consider GNU Linux on desktop to be currently "weeded out by social mechanisms". Conversely the locked & secured Linux platforms - Android and SteamOS are currently a festival for crapwa

The important part about breaking backward compatibility is allowing forward compatibility. Java is good in that regard, for each breaking change, you could still create a library that worked for Java N and Java N+1. It is possible to have

But it is not situation in Wayland - it is simple - so you need to implement hacks at a different layer (it is often impossible to implement them on the Wayland layer). No matter how much stuff you throw at the compositor layer the core is

`send_emails_on` suggests strongly some scheduling capability. `current_time` says exactly what it is needed for.

But fast fashion clothes are not much cheaper (or even not always cheaper) than non-fast-fashion-cheap stuff. Maybe this is semantic argument only, for me: fast fashion - fashionable (or at least trying to be fashionable), not essential, po

I don't think that poor people are main buyers of such such crappy products. Those things rarely last long, they are often bought and worn once or twice and thrown out or hoarded somewhere. You need to have a quite a bit of money to we

There is (was?) whole community around ripping games (extracting sounds, sprites and other resources) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripping . The format usually does not matter much - it might be even easier to rip fi

But the Starfield feels quite finished. It is just poorly designed and written. Cyberpunk's gameplay design is not the best, but it is still better than Starfield's, and the story and characters are much better.

Your comment is an example of analyzing in bad faith. In the linked article there is a whole section that starts with "Selection bias is disastrous if". He definitely does not says anything remotely close to "twitter polls ar

My guestimate is that will cost around 10% of annual upkeep to remove access points for particular stroad. If access point is already under maintenance of stroad owner then removing it will pay off quite quickly (~10 years). If not the bene

Usually stroad development is surrounded by parking spots and it is easy to change where the entrance is. Sometimes entrance from the street is already in place (parking has multiple entrances), you just need to block the road access. I jus

Why would it do any damage? Stroad usually can easily be converted into road, and with some political will and investments into a street. In both cases economy will improve - either by making roads safer and faster, or by bringing jobs to t

The thing is the guaranteed semantics are something totally different than what you usually expect when looking at the code. That is why the term "observable" is often introduced when explaining how optimizer works (or can work).

by Sankozi 3y ago
The first example is wrong. "The optimizer is not allowed to change the program semantics" - of course it can, especially in multi threaded environment. You could add global variable and replace undefined behavior with global vari

Not sure what you mean. Changes to the interfaces in modular monolith are much easier than in microservices. You just release new version with updated interfaces - no need for versioning if you update interface and its usages. In case of m

You added "equally" to misrepresent my argument -> straw man. You are comparing single DVD rental company with whole textile industry -> fallacy of relative privation. Some of us just see a positive that less trash will be p

You are calling it innumerate while forgetting those plastic consumption number consists of lots of tiny things like the Netflix DVD consumption. Almost every problem can be divided into many tiny ones, and solution to each tiny problem can

Lack of comments is a showstopper for config file format. JSON also adds some significant amount of bloat due to the double quotes.

by Sankozi 3y ago
YAML is mainly for configuration files. JSON sucks at being configuration file format, it is mainly used for serialization in HTTP requests. Those 2 have different use cases.

What are better alternatives to Docker desktop on Windows? I am using Rancher desktop and number of bugs and lack of features would make paying for Docker desktop worthwhile if I used it more than ~1 hour per week.

If running Tor protected you from any responsibility of traffic coming from you then it would be a real scenario. But there is an expectation that you should be at least somewhat responsible of traffic you generate. That is why running Tor
