Has anyone ever actually had anything break from a Ruby version update? I know Matz basically never does breaking changes, last I remember is the 1.8.7 -> 1.9.2 update... I've only ever just straight up downloaded the source and in

Straight up false. I have both Chrome and Vivaldi installed on Linux, both have hardware video decoding on OOTB... You check it by putting chrome://gpu in the address bar.

Drivers for it are in Linux 6.14. That doesn't matter much for most people though. The actual benefit is that the integrated GPU is very beefy.

GNOME on Wayland has lots of useful gestures out of the box. It's part of the DE though, so lots of DEs don't have them.

Very nice. Glad Framework finally updated the CPU/APU on this because I really want the Ryzen AI APU in a 16 inch form factor (I don't care about dedicated GPUs though).

ThinkPads still have buttons, or do you require buttons specifically under the touchpad?

Easiest way is to use Chrome or a Chrome based browser since they bundle codecs with the browser. If you're using Firefox, need to make sure you have the codecs. I know nothing about Mint specifically though to know if they'd au

Apple designs their laptops to throttle power when they warm up too much. Framework gives theirs a fan. It's a design choice. Also, different Linux distros/DEs prioritize different things. Generally they prioritize performance o

There's already open source OSes that run on phones that aren't based on Android. Off the top of my head there's a Debian based one, a Fedora based one, webOS, PostmarketOS, probably others. Wouldn't be that difficult

Drew Devault is a left wing nutjob. He's done nothing but cause drama and attack people for years now. Vaxry is an immature ~20 year old Polish dude. That means a bit of angst, Eastern European humour, more conservative opinions than

Maybe their shares get bought, in this case it looks like Intel might have simply issued the shares. In this case, shareholders have equity in a company that just had $10 billion added to the balance sheet and which the government signalle

> Just a matter of degree? That and when most governments "nationalise" corporations they seize them and don't give the owners/shareholders anything.

So should the government give bailouts without getting any equity back? Only deal in loans? Intel is strategically important. As nice as it is to pretend that the whole world plays by the same rules, that the free market exists everywhere

Everything related to stats or dealing with data. For one, R is actually an array language.

Nvidia and Palantir PE values are at least based on future expectations... MS and Apple's are based on what? Their margins don't have much room to get better so to increase income by 3-4x they need to increase revenue by a simila

> I had to replace my full mainboard as the GPU was broken within the first two weeks, so that might be bad luck. But the quality of MacBooks is just another level. I had 3 or 4 so far since 2010, and each of them held at least 5 years.

Meh, I use LazyVim with Neovim. It's the same deal. I like Neovim but don't want to bother configuring it when someone else has a much nicer setup and are sharing it. Hyprland and desktop ricing is the desktop equivalent of conf

by dismalaf 1y ago
Why does it need to be maintained? It's just an install script to install common apps on Arch and to install and configure Hyprland. It's not really a distro on its own.

This. Back in the day, when you played an FPS on a private server, you'd also be able to observer other players when you died so cheating was discovered pretty quickly. When we had ranked clan matches there'd also be 3rd party o

Then they'd have to use Samsung or Intel. Both are a bit behind TSMC, but the main issue is that TSMC has a massive amount of capacity so chips would become very, very expensive.

And of those seven, how many are mainstream? A single one... So it's really Go vs. Java, or you can take a performance hit and use Erlang (valid choice for some tasks but not all), or take a chance on a novel paradigm/unsupported

There's not that many. C/C++ and Rust all map to OS threads and don't have CSP type concurrency built in. In Go's category, there's Java, Haskell, OCaml, Julia, Nim, Crystal, Pony... Dynamic languages are more like

No, AI's lack of understanding holds it back. It's literally just a statistical model that guesses what you want based on the prompt and a whole bunch of training data. If we want a black box that's AGI/SGI, we need a co

The way it's written in English it has to refer to production speed. The context is also about economics. "Make thing as fast as" = "make" is fast. Versus "Make thing that is as fast as" = now the thing

A lot of governments stopped subsidising electric cars. And now the rise of tariffs.
