To clarify, in signing you have to convert xml to bytes you can get back in the other side, while modifying the same bytes injecting signatures. The whole custom canonical xml serializer is actually complex with escape rules and a bunch of

Signed xml alone is a wildly confusing idea, as the signatures get embedded as elements in the document being signed. There’s a wild set of rules on how to make xml canonical, sign, add the signature, etc. It’s nontrivial.

No thanks? If the company is downtrending, and I as an engineer see options available... without a clear path of moving up and forward in the current company, I'll be looking. That's it. Objectively its the best thing to do as an

The Philippines are really ripe for fast e-bikes and trikes. Not going much faster than a 30mph e-bike can go anyways most of the time.

Pizza sized teams that can directly interact with customers don't need management. Management is playing telephone with someone in the middle with their own interpretation of everything which is 99% wrong.

Why wouldn’t it? Has to capture and send all that spyware data for better ad matching.

yes but its hard to argue that if you've verified that you own say... somecompany.com that you shouldn't have control over the crates.io org for the same name.

Not if it requires dns verification… which would be great.

Because apparently nix isn’t enough despite being the project name, executable name, and the name of the language it implements. No one calls rust “rustrust”

Didn't get along is an understatement. They gaslit and destroyed the little bit of leadership structure of NixOS had through harassment and bullying.

More welcoming how, by stabbing the heart of Eelco with shitty demands? Very welcoming.

It'd be interesting to see a breakdown of IP stacks for MCUs, their performance, how many security issues, etc. NetX, Zephyr, LwIP, and SmolTCP all sort of fit in this realm these days it seems like. Probably others too... but yeah har

How does LwIP compare to SmolTCP at this point?

"Trying to get everyone to switch over to the religion..." Yeah I mean I don't see how you don't hear this person talking and not think they are disdainful and dismissive. In other news, Redox continues to improve and an

This seems to be a repeating theme lately. NixOS went through something incredibly similar lately.

Giant trucks are entirely unnecessary. Most work is done with a work van not truck now. Trucks can’t even carry sheet goods sensibly even more. Even if they can the beds are so high as to be impractical loading and unloading. Modern pick up

These countries also presumably enforce stricter licensing laws, charge appropriately for driving urban tanks (American pick ups), and actually enforce some traffic laws with serious consequences not a slap on the wrist with inexpensive tic

You could wear something brighter than the sun blasting train horn sounds in a 360 and still get nailed by some clown mobile. It’ll be deemed an accident, person will get at most a ticket. As the addage goes, wanna murder someone? Use a ca

I see nothing about the humans outside of the metal clown cars. Meanwhile e-bikes are growing, and pedestrians and other road user die needlessly to oversized vehicles driven by anyone with a pulse due to lax licensing rules. Fix licensing,

State typing is there to enforce rules at build time. This can be an amazing thing to put on a problem where valid states aren’t obvious. Maybe I’m alone but I like stuff that enforces rules at compile time. What I don’t like is getting pho

I went through many moto/samsung/google phones. Every single one sucked ass after about a year or two. Wasn't a big deal when the phones came with contract renewals. Became a major deciding factor to abandon them when I had t

The immutable root seems like it'd be troublesome. How do you end up with workable little dev environments on this sort of immutable root setup? NixOS has a similar benefit without immutable roots, and even allows for development shell

Yeah I’d rather not be part of the experiment thank you. If something takes intelligence to do I want to talk to a human that can help do it. AI isn’t going to magically help solve problems with technology. Frankly I’m tired of technology.

I wonder if microkernels ever had this kind of bullshit. Had it been a microkernel, would we all be sitting twiddling our thumbs on friday? Hot take: No.

You linked to it, and its repo is nix, the description is "Nix, the purely functional package manager" I see no mention of CppNix other than from certain detractors.

Isn't nix like one of the most welcoming FOSS groups on the planet? Seems like half the maintainers are trans?

by bfrog 2y ago
There's no cppnix, its just nix. That's some bs naming added on by people (not the creator). The repo and tool are still solidly called nix. Of course there's corporate sponsorships, how else do you expect people to work on t

So add some syscalls and slowness to what should amount to a spsc atomic queue in memory? No thanks!
