Better for who exactly? Malware authors?

If you need to define and write the functions to calculate interest… what exactly is the llm bringing to the table here? I feel like I’m missing something.

I'm pretty sure the combined power of HN can figure out how to put an Ubuntu installer on a thumb drive and reboot.

I recently re-installed and instead of installing rustup I thought I'd give the Arch rust package a shot. Supposedly it's not the "correct" way to do it but so far it's working great, none of my projects require nig

I'm sorry but "Steam broke Gnome" makes no sense. This is like the person who says they installed Firefox and it broke the internet.

I feel like there is a wide gap between "hand holding" and holding the specs locked up in Cupertino never to see the light of day. A M-generation Mac is not the same kind of set up to allow running software as say, any x86 machine

There was an Ubuntu engineer recently talking about using the rust coreutils which are bsd licensed instead the old gpl ones. But he made it clear it was more about “rust is better” than anything to do with the license.

The hardware might be open for now but you can imagine Apple would like to keep the possibility of closing it off on the table, thus the allergy to gplv3. Edit: "without any problems" is definitely a stretch.

Probably because they are working towards a future where they don’t have to worry about releasing source code for anything, while being free to make any modifications they want. They just need time to code around all the FOSS they’ve leech

Because presumably the GPL would force them to release their modifications. Apple gets/got away with leeching off the BSDs because of the permissive license.

I don't think so. Here's a report from this month: https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/february-2025-laptop-supp... Looks like (some) laptops might sleep and wifi is on the way! (with help from Linux drivers)

Is there a compelling reason to use Swift over Rust for anything other than Apple development in 2025?

by WD-42 2y ago
Because you want to or because you are too much of a coward not to? Something tells me you’d be face down in a ditch somewhere if the world actually reflected your ideal instead of the comfy one we live in where you get to take advantage of

If that is all they were they wouldn't be a problem but this is obviously an over simplification.

The difference is all those other things you listed - food, drugs, etc provide value. An ad provides none.

This project has barely seen a commit in the last 4 years.

Because it’s a fork of systemd which is GPL. So, working as intended. Sorry Apple, you’ll have to keep using your own init system.

Are you young? I've noticed the upcoming generation has begun rejecting their parent's bland aesthetics.

Gen Z is rejecting this "millennial bland" aesthetic of turning all spaces into an Apple store. Just one reason I appreciate and look forward to the coming generation. Take a look at some of their trends in art, music, fashion, gr

You could try running it with wine.

If all you need is the terminal than windows is definitely getting in your way, WSL is a worse experience. Plus you still have to put up with candy crush in your start menu, Cortana annoying the hell out of you, and the taskbar giving you u

I mean the steam deck is proof you can game on Linux. I hate to say it, but it sounds like you might just need to try harder.

Windows set up is actually insane, I did it in a VM recently to test my app on Windows. I would say not only does it require a Microsoft account but you also have to agree to (at least) 3 EULAs about sharing/selling your data that are
