I wouldn't be so certain. Here are some recent benchmarks on newer CPUs: https://www.phoronix.com/review/lunarlake-windows11-ubuntu25... > Across dozens of benchmarks run on Windows 11 and Ubuntu Linux 25.04 fr

Gentoo exists, and has been popular with those that simply enjoy the idea of their systems being slightly better optimized. There's really not much else to it.

I’m not sure why the copy and paste actions couldn’t be placed in a right click context menu instead of taking up 2-3 lines of actual terminal output for every user of the software all the time… it’s just a waste of space. It’s not just Kon

I really don’t see the polish everyone talks about in KDE. Here’s a perfect example: Konsole the KDE terminal. https://apps.kde.org/konsole/ Why does the toolbar need giant copy/paste buttons? Is any terminal user

The human still has to put in that time. How would you know what 31% is correct?

I dunno I feel like I see Intel bail out AMD on a lot of linux/x86 software stuff.

And what distro does package those? That's what Flatpak is for. If you must install crappy proprietary software, at least get an official package from the developer.

How exactly is Arch barebones? It basically ships with everything I need, more than most distros (Zed and Discord are good examples). I don't even need to use the AUR.

This is just ignorant. I've been daily driving Linux since 2005. The majority of that time has been with Arch. Despite the memes, I've found it to be MORE stable than your typical Debian derivatives. It's funny to me that it

As Arch seemingly explodes in popularity I’m afraid we’ll start seeing more of this.

This is exactly what many of the AUR helpers like yay and paru already do - ask you to review the pkgbuild diffs before installing or updating.

They aren't just arguments, it's facts. f-strings in logs, especially in a hot code path, can be really bad for performance.
704.
by WD-42 1y ago
The thing is, the logging calls already accept variable arguments that do pretty much what people use f-string in logging calls for already, except better. People see f-string, they like f-string, and they end up in logs, that's really

Ah, std::size, since c++17. No wonder nobody knows about it, that’s after we all started switching to rust.

You sure it doesn’t come from, for example, needing a macro just to get the length of an array?

If I were depressed I think knowing my therapist was an LLM would just make me more lonely and depressed. How is this a surprise to anyone.

I guess I’m not measuring it, really. But I know that in the past I’d do a web search to find patterns or best practices, now the llm is pretty good at proving that kind of stuff. My stack overflow usage has gone way down, for example.

by WD-42 1y ago
I use llms every day. They’ve made me slightly more productive, for sure. But these claims that they “are like 20 junior engineers” just don’t hold up. First off, did we already forget the mythical man month? Second, like I said, greenfield

I keep hearing this over and over. Some llm toiling away coding personal side projects, and utilities. Source code never shared, usually because it’s “too specific to my needs”. This is the code version of slop. When someone uses an agent t

Rust is too hard when you can quickly fork vscode and hack together enough JavaScript to hopefully get acquired before the moat evaporates.

There is also rofi, wofi, fuzzl, dmenu, and even gnome search providers. No shortage of launchers on Linux, all with varying capabilities.

The exact wording was: > But I don't know how to make an adblocker, so I decided to report the issue to Google in August 2023. So why not go to someone that does know how to make a blocker? Nice snitch.

This thing actually crashed our observatory software because we were trying to calculate position at too far of time horizons where because of the eccentricity the algorithms would not converge… that sucked but has been fixed. Ready for the

I feel the same way. I use it for super small chunks, still understand everything it outputs, and often manually copy/paste or straight up write myself. I don't know if I'm actually faster before, but it feels more comfy than

It’s easier for you to rely on the volunteers that maintain python packages for Debian. That’s fine, but if you need something niche like cgi, you might have to package it yourself.

by WD-42 1y ago
You must be living in a different reality.

by WD-42 1y ago
It is fine though. CGI for python is one pip install away, as it is for the other languages you listed. Most rational people are ok with code being removed that 99.99% of users have absolutely no use for, especially if it is unmaintained, a
720.
by WD-42 1y ago
I don't get it. Having a complaint about Python removing CGI from the stdlib is well and fine. But then you say you'd rather consider JS, which doesn't even have a std lib? Lua doesn't have a CGI module in stdlib either.
