I've been using Wayland + KDE (currently Plasma 5.27.8) for a very long time now on my machine with an Nvidia GPU (first a 1080TI, then a 4090). There are annoying bugs, but they're not show stoppers. I'm not someone who wh

That's not accurate. Most hardware works out of the box with zero config on all the major distros. There are always some machines with unsupported hardware of course, but it's more the exception than the rule nowadays. This is e

I didn't know about that other Cicada language, but the part about using a DSL for this does seem unnecessary to me. I haven't dived into the docs at all, so if anyone has I'd be curious to know what this DSL offers over Pyth

I always find it funny to see Apple pushing for tech education when it's well known that Apple despises developers. Please teach your kids computer science so we can treat them like shit and/or exploit them! They used to (or still

I can't think of a more in your face example of anti-competitive business practices harming innovation.

I'm not an expert on this in any way, but I've been following this Google case and have learned a few things. In antitrust lawsuits, a critical part is to define the "relevant market" over which a company is being accuse

I agree, although I suspect most people nowadays interact with Firefox for the first time via the mobile app rather than the desktop. The difference between FF mobile and Chrome is pretty noticeable. Overall usability is worse, if not also

The first poster has a typo "ECALATION", but I think that's actually more appropriate since it makes it seem AI generated. Edit: wait are they actually AI generated?! That's pretty damn good if they are!

That's called skepticism because people (rightly) don't trust Apple. Thats especially true when it comes to this, which is something they've been aggressively fighting against for years.

So we shouldn't use Rust at all, since Rust is not completely memory safe since it let's you disable the borrow checker. We should be serious as professionals and use safe languages like Java, JS, Python, etc. But of course there

by bogwog 3y ago
Do you need memory safety? Then why use Rust when you could use Java, JS, Python, etc? You can't "disable" memory safety in those languages. Do you need bare metal performance? Then why use Rust when you could use C or C++, w

Break them all up! The FTC has been finally doing it's job recently, so unless the other side wins the next election and guts them, I think the tech industry might actually have a future that isn't just more miserable dystopia.

There are companies that offer APIs to access bank accounts as a service. Plaid.com is one of them, although you might need to search around for another one that supports your bank. At one point, there was a decent standard called "OFX

I don't remember what the first software I purchased was, but after that point, I no longer was hesitant to spend money on good software. In hindsight, it was an irrational fear (maybe "fear" isn't the right word though)

The "it's not open source" gate keepers really are bringing everybody down. I don't know why people care so much about the OSI and their arbitrary and narrow definition of such a generic term? It seems like owning a prem

Yeah this just sounds like precompiled headers, except the only part they actually standardized was the name.

Same! Someone should post a video/audio recording of the pronunciation. Even trying to imitate different accents I'm familiar with, I can't find one where the two words sound even remotely similar lol
