gitlab.xfce.org is absolutely not a full-time job. It's run by one guy in his spare time, and that spare time doesn't even amount to a part-time job. I do agree about performance, though.

I'm not really sure what to do here. I refuse to give Altman money, but Anthropic keeps disappointing me over and over with crap like this. Gemini seems behind? Not touching Grok. Meanwhile I've integrated CC into my workflow enou

How would that work for a company like Anthropic, where there's no physical store, no cashier, and no cash, even?

Yeah, federation is really the sticky bit. It's very frustrating for people to have to create yet another account in order to file an issue or submit a pull request. And on top of that, spam is a huge issue. We've progressively

I feel like part of that was timing. IIRC, when git was already stable and usable as a daily-driver, Fossil was still sometimes requiring that you completely recreate your repo when updating to a new version. Git certainly had (and perhaps

It's fun to read stuff like this and then reflect on the journeys of the projects I've been involved with. Most of my open source work has been done with self-hosted infra. My main example is Xfce: back when I started with them

The third quote seems to invalidate the second, no? Under the "grounds" that key people are currently physically in China, and as such, the Chinese government can coerce them to do whatever it wants. Though I suppose if those two

Don't presume that. People release OSS for all sorts of reasons, and you cannot assume anything. You also are not owed or entitled anything. If a maintainer wants to do something, they will. If they don't, then they won't

Yes, it absolutely helps, because when the cyclist doesn't stop, the driver doesn't get as impatient, and won't try to get around and blow by the cyclist.

I didn't say anything about safety; I said "don't make much sense". Fully stopping at a stop sign just isn't necessary for bicycles. And forcing bicycles to stop can create inefficient or even unsafe situations. I

It's funny because he didn't actually abandon it: he finished it, and just found he didn't need it anymore. It's still there, it's still done, and still could be useful to someone (or perhaps himself, in the future

We live in the real would and have to work with what actually exists. I'd love it if my city had Tokyo's rail system, but it doesn't, and won't.

I used to agree with that (as a pedestrian and driver only), but as I've started cycling, I've begun to realize that many rules of the road, intended for cars, just don't make much sense for bicycles.

Street side parking is fine. You can move the parking out a few feet and put the bike lane between the ordering and curb. Works well where I've seen it.

This always seems to come up in discussions about Framework. The extra cost is more than made up in not having to buy a full new computer every few years, and in being able to swap out the keyboard for $40 if it breaks.

You have to understand the time period. Microsoft was huge and had won the browser wars, and had become a convicted monopolist. Google's "don't be evil" was a way for them to say "we're regular Joes, just like

You should probably accept the fact that browsers are indeed application platforms. I'm not saying they should be, or that they are good at that role, but they absolutely are, at this point in time.

Even with how overworked GPs are, what makes you think that the LLMs will have a lower error rate? Or that errors the GP makes will be more severe than the LLM's errors?
