Everytime this is posted someone says it's a vaporware and/or a scam. I've never looked into it myself so i don't know.

As an American I would advise people to, when practical, boycott these companies, regardless of their country of origin, when they do things anti-consumer/anti-ownership. But more importantly we should demand our communities/gover

You now need to have an online account to setup and login on a Windows desktop. It's obvious what the trend is and it's not allowing consumers control over their stuff.

Long ago manjaro was my favorite distro because it had a lot of great defaults that are rare among distros. The thing I didn't like was always having to be on top of updates or the update system would break and fixing it was a process.

I want to be able rely an an arch distro enough to be my main but it just seems like it needs too much maintenance and I'm afraid of some parts of my system breaking in some updates. Meanwhile, on Ubuntu/Debian-based systems I can

WebGPU is a API that sits above Vulkan, DirectX and Metal. For CUDA, ROCm and oneAPI there is SYCL. But it's not used too much and it seems mostly just Intel is invested.

I vaguely remember a talk given by the creator of ELM called "The Economics of Programming Languages". It's actually really expensive to make a good programming language that's widely used. Forget about syntax or semant

If having only 6GB VRAM is GPU poor then I must be GPU destitute.

Thanks, I found out I had to disable Brave's protection to get it to let me past.

Actually the auto generated bindings can be attributed to the gobject system. It's a very interesting system, similar DCOM in Windows. Too bad it's so poorly documented. It seems to me like advanced technology left over from a dea

Okay, so this is actually GitHub's mastodon. I'm down. Honestly, i was just thinking of moving to Gitlab because I have a feeling GitHub might start being terrible soon.

Well I don't know what the market for these companies putting out RISC-V processors and SBCs are going for but I'm hoping they will take support at least as seriously as Raspberry Pi. Maybe none of them will but I'd hope that

Sorry, my comment was not about if RISC-V were in SBCs but about software and documentation support for SBCs outside of Raspberry Pi being very very poor. My hope is that the situation for RISC-V SBCs would be an improvement over ARM SBCs

by bobajeff 1y ago
I wonder if the future positioning for RISC-V will be better support from manufacturers of SBCs than their ARM counterparts. Right now they are barely useable outside of Raspberry Pi, which unfortunately has had supply issues. I know ARM ch

It sounds like this a geared towards games. However, I like the idea of exposing all of the ML features through Vulkan extensions rather than some proprietary API. Though I think exposing them through OpenCL extensions would work for me as

Further down the list, the biggest offender for me was 'Golden Era' there is no way you're using that to do actual coding (shown in the video).

I like eye candy but browsing the hall of fame makes me realize that some people can't possibly be using their systems for anything other than showing off.

I've seen a few new languages come along that were inspired by zig's comptime/metaprogramming in the same language concept. Zig I think has potential but it hasn't stabilized enough yet for broad adoption. That means it&

As someone reading the comments here and never made a real Windows app outside of a visual basic hello world a pretty long time ago. Why doesn't Microsoft just stop making these? They already own GitHub and vscode so why not just admit

Makes sense that they should make their site's search engine not be so bad to where you have to use a external search engine to find things on it. It's weird that they are only now just thinking of this though.

It obvious that the purpose of this is really just to censor and lock down the Internet more. I saddens me to watch us go down this path.

Webkit on Linux is in terrible shape. Maybe in theory it could be a complete and useable engine but there clearly isn't enough interest to make it that way.

I think without Mitchell Baker there would probably not have been a Mozilla. I'm fuzzy on the history but I believe she was the lawyer who originally set up the organization.

The feature that keeps me from moving off of vscode is their markdown support. In particular the ability to drag and drop to insert links to files and images *. Surprisingly, no other editor does this even though I use it all the time. * h

>I would rather that code be in a library in the language of your choice that you can inspect and understand than hidden somewhere in a driver behind 3 layers of abstraction. I agree that, that would be ideal. Hopefully, that can happen
