   I don't understand how, almost 20 years after the release of these platforms, there are fully grown adult mobile OS fanboys still out there that either consciously or unconsciously spread lies about the difference between the platforms

   I don't really care about this, like at all. But I just wanted to say, that's an amazing name. Well done.

   When I first saw the OP, panic started to set in that I am fucked and Chat-Completions/LLMs/AI/whatever-you wanna-call-it will soon be able to create anything and eat away at my earning potential. And I will spend my elde

   Less licensing headache, it seems. Kokoro says its Apache licensed. But it has eSpeak-NG as a dependency, which is GPL, which brings into question whether or not Kokoro is actually GPL. PocketTTS doesn't have eSpeak-NG as a dependenc

   People use C not because they like it, but because its the lingua franca [1]. As long as The Unix Programming Environment [2] remains dominant, The C Programming Language [3] will too. 1. https://humprog.org/~stephen/re

   Maybe we crossed the Rubicon and there's too much opportunity cost to learn how to implement the fundamental DS&A. Instead of memorizing the ~10 lines of code for binary search, memorize the words "binary search". Thanks

    I think it's interesting! Don't you? A fun fact of history most people don't know.

    And this, kids, is why you should vendor your dependencies

    That's what I do for some of my dependencies. But it's only for legal reasons. If licensing isn't a concern, vendoring is superior.

    This is a decent approach, another approach is to vendor your dependencies and don't update them unless absolutely necessary. The only thing you'd need to react to is major security vulnerabilities.

    If that's the bar, what language's abstractions haven't failed?

    Yeah, most Americans don't understand how ubiquitous this is in Asia. I doubt this will catch on in America because of how unsafe the cities are. I would never wear this in New York but I definitely would in Tokyo

    I think Gabe is doing a great job. If he wants to have a billion dollars worth of yachts, that's fine by me.

    Thanks for pointing that out. I'm gonna assume it's a dead project. It has only 239 commits, basically a proof of concept. Nothing to take seriously. OpenBSD on the other hand is extremely active, there's no way OpenSSH will

    In that case, wouldn't incremental builds solve this?
