In theory you are right, but somehow changes made it into their channels that weren't cleared by the CI and therefor the binary caches didn't have the artifacts in them and I had to build it myself which failed. So in practice upd

I asked myself that very question often, but the reality is that only customers that take a small number of those chips (<1.000.000) care about mainline support. For the first tier customers they get a custom solution developed for them,

I really like the idea of NixOS and Guix and tried NixOS for half a year on my laptop. Then I changed back to ordinary package based distributions. (Arch, Debian and Gentoo) The issue with NixOS for me was probably quality control. When I d

Well their scheme does leave some questions open: Does 3.00 need to come after 2.99 or can there be a 2.100? Or if its more like 2.8.x: Can ever be a x.x.10? (we are talking here more about the scheme that actual blender releases) How I cur

Blenders version is a bit confusing sometimes. Officially its release 2.80 but that is very often called 2.8 even from official channels [1]. I was a bit confused when then announced 2.8 which is the version after 2.79. [1] https:/&#x

Thx. I will take a look at those. What I would like is way to specify start and end row and column number of nodes. That way it would be more predictable and changing the relations of two nodes does not cause everything to change.

I really like plantuml, but I just wish there was a way to give layout hints to the engine. You can sort of specify the direction of arrows, but since everything is a fluid layout, changing those in bigger diagrams behave very chaotic and u

There is a difference between saying 'Freedom for X people' and 'X people are retarded' that has nothing to do with a subjective feeling of 'bad' or 'good'.

You can always choose some well supported and active open/free source product. If that gets abandoned, then you will figure that out and there will be others in the same boat as you and share the cost. Also you could just pay some open

Right, that is a better formulation of that argument: "Not currently in scope of this project" is better than: "This is a clone of X".

Offering a cloud service to a linux user is like tempting a vegetarian with meat. Linux users often choose Linux because they want to be in control of their data and devices, cloud services are about giving control of that away to companies

What I also don't understand is the assumption that people don't share phone numbers or have multiple of them. If they want to restrict a service to a physical person, then at least in Germany there are identification services.
