I'd prefer if it were more letters. It bothers me when API designers omit random letters just to save a few keystrokes. These are particularly egregious because I keep forgetting which letters they kept. Is it "chk"? or &quot

Apple doesn't "fear" the GPLv3. The GPLv3 is simply incompatible with their walled garden. They would not be able to lock down their devices to the extent that they do if they used GPLv3 code, and they care a lot more about t

With data on raid6 you should be running metadata on raid1c3 or raid1c4, not raid1 nor raid5/6.

Interesting stuff! Here are my notes: - decl.qualified-return-type is comparing two very different syntaxes: a common C __typeof__ extension versus C++ decltype. This is hardly an example of code that compiles differently since it's co

This is only true in your country. Most people in the world do not have the luxury of affording this, and for many that do it's not worthwhile. I live in Ontario, Canada. Almost all of my electricity comes from nuclear, hydroelectric a

This attitude is exactly the problem. You twist it around to pin the blame on green activists somehow not doing enough in their personal lives, and no matter what they do, it's never enough. If he had given up his car, you'd ask w

Even if they aren't, people absolutely should be able to bootstrap new platforms from scratch. It's important to have confidence in our tools, in our ability to rebuild from scratch, and to be safe against the "trusting trust

It looks like typeof() is being added it C23, so his complaint about it sort of makes sense. I say "sort of" because if he's truly concerned about the effort involved in creating independent implementations, then obviously he

I think it's common for C programmers to roll their own. I did the same [0]. I went pretty deep into composable C templates to build mine so it's more powerful than most. The containers can handle non-bitwise-movable types with fu

The "solutions" are hacks at best. This is not the way to build stable software. > I hope you can see that "keep libraries backwards compatible forever" is not really a good option ??? Why would I be able to see that?

It is nowhere near as simple as you make it out to be. Yes, the freedesktop runtimes ship extensions with newer versions of Mesa and its dependencies. This doesn't entirely solve the problem. For one thing, libstdc++ before GCC 5 did n

It's not just possible and reasonable. It's how literally every other platform works. It's also how the Linux Standard Base worked. It was intended to be a stable well-defined backwards-compatible set of libraries common acro

No, you misunderstand. You need new libraries to make your new hardware work. You can't use versions of driver libraries like Mesa that are older than your hardware, and Mesa has a ton of dependencies like libstdc++ and LLVM so you can

Mask mandates are necessary mostly because there are still so many unvaccinated people. I generally agree that masks are no longer necessary among vaccinated people. My friends and I don't wear masks when we hang out. I'm okay wit

No one is calling for lockdowns anymore. Lockdowns were a temporary measure to avoid overloading hospitals, and (at least in my country) workers who were put out of work were compensated generously by the government in order to keep their n

It's not that simple. The most important reason there are mask and vaccine mandates is that hospitals are already overloaded with unvaccinated COVID patients, which means no one else can get health care. Cancer patients (like my family

He hasn't been sentenced yet. That's just what the prosecution is asking for. The defense is asking for house arrest. The judge might still let him off with a slap on the wrist.
