   It does not need to be fundamentalist, it can also be utterly pragmatic. If counted the number of times that proprietary vendors have let me down, with no recourse (e.g. the cancellation of BeOS, software vendors moving to outrageous subscr

   Make sure to read the books and maybe consider buying "Programming Rust" by Blandy & Orendorff which is easily one of the best language books I ever read, especially when combined with the free books available online. I used

   I've Dell XPS 13 4k display and its perfect for single screen (or if all your screen have same resolution). The only issue is when you are using multiple screen, it wont scale properly, i.e. stuff on one screen would look unproportion

   I tried to switch from macOS to Linux Ubuntu running wayland gnome. HiDPI is sort of ish there. I have been using GNOME with a 4k monitor a year or so. It works fine, including most exceptions. The exception are Gtk+2 applications such as

   You are part of the vocal, online minority that doesn't look at Mint and cringe because it looks so amateur and dated. I have used macOS for 10 years[1] and I always had the same feeling about Windows 7. The icons looked ugly, apps w

   Thanks for providing this and thanks for allowing us to pay for an account. I hope that sr.ht becomes sustainable, it's great to have an alternative that is focused on open source developers.

   Besides what the parent already mentioned, I was also a paying GSuite user for some years (when it was still called Google Apps for Applications/Business). And I had e-mail contacts (Google Mail is covered by GApps) appear as suggested

   The C API permits training and running. But you have to define and serialize the graph in Python (or C++). (Of course, you could also write Tensorflow protobuf directly, but that would be tedious.)

    I’ve invested heavily in the Apple ecosystem so it pains me to see these issues. Same here. I have a MacBook Pro 2016 with AppleCare, that I want to sell before the AppleCare runs out (with some margin) and definitely before the extended

    This is mostly due to the keyboard still being part of the chassis. And they mention having to remove the logic board to replace the battery as a downside.

    And the MacBook and MacBook Pro w/o touch bar still have the older butterfly keyboard without membrane. Their line-up is quite a mess. I don't see why they haven't updated the MacBook Pro without touch bar or the MacBook 12&q

    Even in the regular case it can be non-terminating by using left-recursive rules. E.g. consider parsing a*: as --> as, [a]. as --> []. Prolog will recurse infinitely on the first rule.

    But then I had to use the Nix language. And that was a great displeasure, and I ended giving up NixOS all together because of this one pain point. Could you articulate why? I have only been using Nix for ~3 months, but so far I do not rea

    I meant to test outside NixOS. I already use default.nix + direnv for my C++ projects.

    Does multi-monitor mixed-DPI work in Gnome? It does with GNOME on Wayland. I have used GNOME on Wayland for a while with HiDPI and LoDPI displays.

    Indeed, just two days ago I made a derivation for a large binary, which is built against an older Boost (1.58). On most other package managers, this would be painful, but with Nix I just made a derivation for that version of Boost by overri

    My concern is that it would be more difficult to install software that doesn't have a nix package built (in particular, from git repo trunks), and also more difficult to have confidence that the software I write would work on other Li

    This is true and in reality most Nix users are package authors. You will probably find things that are not packaged and you will have to author them. Just wanted to add that Nix currently has the most software packaged in any distribution

    For someone who does not know Void Linux, what does it bring that is genuinely new? From the webpage's description, it looks like Arch with a different init system. To me e.g. Fedora's Team Silverblue and NixOS seem genuinely diff

    I would say map quality for someone living outside of the "bubble", map quality goes as follows: TomTom then Google Maps then literally anything else, then Apple Maps at the very end. Apple Maps uses TomTom data [1]. This is als

    Except for the MacBook Pro Escape, which didn't get a refresh, nor the butterfly mechanism update.

    I would wait about 6 more months to see how reliable the updated butterfly mechanism is. Having a failing keyboard is no fun, repair apparently takes ~1 week. The new Pro's (and probably the new Air) use a membrane to keep the dust out

    You can install Linux, if you can accept that a lot of functionality does not work. Even on most MacBook Pro 2016 models audio, suspend/hibernate, and WiFi don't work. https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux

    Cons: Still dual core, no USB-A, no magsafe. And still the butterfly mechanism. And apparently, specks of dust also affect the latest iteration: https://theoutline.com/post/6409/the-new-and-improved-macboo... I

    Could you give some more details? The first Doom, as well as Doom II and Quake (except for WinQuake) were DOS games? Or am I missing something.

    maintainers don't see any value in POSIX The problem is that POSIX only provides a tiny subset of the API surface that an application might need today. Just to give two random examples: how can an application inhibit system sleep or
