Even that can be disputed. They typically have quite different domains of applications. Gamedev is seldom done in C; operating systems are seldom done in C++. Their different level of abstraction ends up having them applied to different thi

They are so often spoken of in the same breath in ways that other languages are not, that I think a lot of people do forget that they are not the same thing nor even that culturally close.

The only attack I feel is calling C/C++ a language. It's two languages and we don't like each other very much. People who spend a lot of time trying to write good C++ avoid much of C's bread and butter like malloc and fr

Wouldn't be a payment if CPU cycles didn't have some scarcity. My laptop would be fine with 30 seconds of a CPU spike, though. Most phones could probably also tolerate it.

While this is obviously malicious, I think I would favour paying for things with a few CPU cycles, as long as it was voluntary and overt. Want to read this article? Please click here to mine a cryptocoin for 30 seconds. Great, thanks! Here&

I still can't believe that the movement to kill net neutrality was (is?) called "restoring internet freedom". I guess it's a shortening of "restoring internet service providers' freedom"? But the longer fo

I generally like Mapbox but I've had some problems with the quality of their geocoding and still would get better results from Google's geocoding. It was a pretty niche thing, though: mapbox doesn't have as many European post

That is but one possible situation. Read the link. There are other things like adrenal hyperplasia which are really common and results in developing secondary sexual characteristics of both genders. Is being a man a quirk or a disease of yo

It does have enough users -- it just depends on which network you want to generate an effect. I'm able to have discussions on writing, on mathematics, on coding, on politics, and on society on Masto. It's not a ghost town.

The F-Droid Twitter feed had existed for several years and was always tiny. It became a mirror instead once the Mastodon account got vastly more popular.

That's what I said, it depends on the project. An open data project has a good chance of finding an audience on Masto, I think.

User adoption on Mastodon can be pretty big depending on the project. Look at the number of followers F-Droid has on Mastodon compared to Twitter. https://mastodon.technology/@fdroidorg https://twitter.com/f

Hm, I don't see any mention of D, which is what I was most excited about. I know that D has been merged into gcc, but is it not there for this release yet? Will it be in the next release? edit: Oh well, gdc 8.1 is there in the Debian r
