Sure, just standardise a set of XEP’s and ensure federation has some strictness in which XEP’s are used.

People are pathological about IRC (I am one of them), and there’s a small but motivated handful of us. XMPP doesn’t have those people, because there’s little nostalgia and an “ick” feeling about XML. All those people would rather work on Ma

People can’t think anything good of communism because they’re conditioned to feel that way. Whats interesting is how equal it was for everyone, one comment I got when asking people who lived through the soviet era was that. “there’s no adva

because all the investment (and, crucially: time) has gone elsewhere. I thought I was clear about that? SMF also has not moved in 15 years.

Yeah, but it boiled down to “we want to move fast and modify the client on our whim”. Which, is fair, but if absolute control of the client is required then there’s no benefit to E2EE.

I don’t really have a dog in the fight so to say (aside from running a relatively large IRC network for the passed 22 years)… But I really do wish we had doubled down on XMPP. It was nearly everywhere in the late-00’s early-10’s. If we coul

and if a new game came out today that looked and played the same as Ultima online… What would you (and the rest of gamers) think about it? Your expectations of that game are set appropriately. Same with a lot of Indy games, the expectation

Hinging senior evaluations on junior promotions directly fuels the title inflation I’m decrying. Desperate to show “impact through development,” seniors (or managers) push for premature title bumps; turning fresh juniors into “mids” or “sen

That argument holds no water. IOUring is essential for the performance of some modern POSIX programs. You can see shims for fork() to stop tanking performance so hard too. IOUring doesnt map at all onto IOCP, at least the windows subtitute

You cant optimise the general case Optimisation is almost universally about tradeoffs. If you are a general engine, you can’t easily make those tradeoffs, and worse you have to build guardrails and tooling for many cases, slowing things d

You can accept calls on the watch from Telegram. So this sounds like a “whatsapp didn’t want to do it” more than a “Apple disallowed it”

the lead time for a new engine is about 7 years (on the low end). I don’t think any company that has given up their internal engine could invest 7 years of effort without even having revenue from a game to show for it. So the industry will

If juniors ignore guidance and advice, they stay in junior roles, handling simpler, less impactful tasks. Everyone seeks career growth, but pushing for it too quickly often just leads to inflated titles without real substance. It’s perfectl

So, the new AI features like recall don’t exist? Windows is going more and more into AI and embedding it into the core of the OS as much as it can. It’s not “an app”, even if that was true now it wouldn't be true for very long. The s

Agreed, I have the ARM based T14s for work. The thing is nowhere near the performance as a macbook, but its silent and the battery lasts ages, which is a far cry from the same laptop with an Intel CPU, which is what many are running. Compan

I work in gamedev, historically AAA gamedev. If you think that the programmers are unmotivated (lazy) or incompetent; you’re wrong on both counts. The amount of care and talent is unmatched in my professional career, and they are often work

I appreciate the thoughtful response and the commitment to facts. Racism has no place in these discussions. Let’s examine the points with nuance, drawing from the cited report and context. On the Home Office Report’s Statistics The 2020 pap

I think he backed his citations, and just because migration from MENA regions (a historically entirely different culture) are “brown people” doesn’t make it invalid. Mexicans are also brown people and so are Spanish people in some definitio

Being critical of MENA migration is not hateful speech. Hateful speech is stating: you are from a MENA region therefore you are x negative trait . Being critical of migration is just being critical of migration , which is allowed. His def

Ruby is not targeting those kind of developers though. It's C/C++ developers that typically prefer a no-fluff approach.

Now I'm at a PC and can reply properly instead of typing drunkenly from my phone. Ok, the idea was that what we really want is "ease of use" and "cost effective". In game development (at least the gamedev I did) w

I’m not sure I’m comfortable drawing such a conclusion. There have been outages since time immemorial. And there were no LLMs then and we have no evidence that they are using LLMs necessarily or that this was caused by an LLM or even that t

That was was actually the original intent. If we scale to bare metal providers we can get much more performance. m By making it an “us” problem to run the infrastructure at a good cost, and be cheaper then than AWS for us to run, meaning we
