It you are looking for news on C++20 modules support, then, sadly, there is not much progress since GCC 11. I've re-tested my modules examples[1] a few days ago with the GCC 12 snapshot, and while a few bugs have been fixed, the majori

This is inaccurate: you can definitely make "Hosted $THING" under AGPL. What you cannot do is modify said THING, host that (more precisely, make it publicly available as a service; if it's private, it's still ok), and ke

Does anyone know if virtualization (e.g., kvm/qemu) would work? Didn't see any mention of that in the FAQ.

Judging by Cargo.lock, it has about 60 dependencies.

Or you could try a package repository for one of the C/C++ package managers. For example, for build2[1] we currently have ~300 packages[2] which you can all build in a uniform way. [1] https://build2.org [2] https:/&#

I am curious, what happens if I get a /48 from you and some time later you decide you don't wish to be a LIR anymore. Do I get to keep my /48 somehow (i.e., does RIPE guarantee this)?

I am guessing the reasoning goes like this: if we only support IPv4, then it's on all these ISPs with IPv6-to-IPv4 CGNAT to make sure their stuff works properly (and chances are they will notice if it doesn't). But if we support I

That's in a sense what Debian is doing with its experimental/unstable/testing/stable repositories. We also adopted a similar approach in build2 where we have queue/testing/stable sections of the repository. A n

If you have the time to share the details, I would definitely appreciate them (looking to do something like this myself). In particular, on which hardware did you build the kernel? Or did you cross-compile it? Also which bootloader did you

How about an equivalent for Clang targeting the MSVC runtime (which is how both Google and Mozilla build their web browsers for Windows), is this supported?

I can't say anything specifically about this case, but generally, sometimes the whole architecture has to be changed in order to support concurrency (especially in the "millions of mutexes" kinds of problems). And such altern

That's great to hear, thanks!

Thanks for working on this! It would be great if making Asahi generally usable was not blocked by the GPU driver. Currently Apple M1 is the only generally-available ARM hardware that can be used for testing other software for compatibility

The same story with flex.

In my experience the weak point here is the controller/firmware. We bought a bunch of high-endurance Enterprise MLC drives (also Intel but newer) and one of them has already bricked itself, way before reaching any kind of wear worth me

I wouldn't call (1) efficient, especially for std::string which itself might omit a dynamic allocation due to small string optimization.

Yes, please, that would be very helpful: https://github.com/build2/build2/issues

Dynamic dependencies are supported by build2 (this is, for example, how we handle auto-generated C/C++ headers) but it's not something that is exposed in ad hoc recipes that are written in Buildscript yet (but is exposed in those

Allow me to suggest build2 (the build system part) as another alternative. You would probably be first interested in ad hoc recipes: https://build2.org/release/0.13.0.xhtml#adhoc-recipe

You apply different amount of breaking. Sometimes you would only use the rear break (for example, if you want to take a corner by locking and sliding your back wheel). To illustrate this point further: the common setup is to have the rear b

For me #1 would be to add a version to any data format or communication protocol. If you want to know how hard not doing so can bite, don't look further than Git and it's tourcherous migration from sha1.

Another thing to keep in mind about PIV is that it's currently limited (at the standard level) to RSA-2048 max. Would it be possible to make a custom firmware that support RSA-4096 PIV?

To me things that are worth starting over would be the CPUs that we no longer understand and the OSes that are debugged into existence. Not a computer that has no SSD because memory is persistent.

One aspect that is not mentioned is that we build software on top of an ever-increasing number of first-to-market, low-quality, building blocks. And by low-quality I mean "worse is better"/MVP/"everyone makes mistak

Here is a previous discussion of a similar tool that also lists some of the limitations (like inability to use bridged networking without Apple's permission) of using Virtualization.framework: https://news.ycombinator.com&#x

Virtualization.framework appears to provide Virtio disk, network, etc. I wonder how Apple did it: I doubt they could copy GPL code from qemu. Maybe they copied something from one of the *BSD implementations? If they have implemented it from
