I don't think that's really so meaningful. If not for 'capitalism' (which is a pretty vague term anyway) we wouldn't have these websites. There would be one version of most if not all of these products. That&#x27

I thought this was a forum for intelligent and well-informed people, not the posting of paedophilic propaganda. Sad.

I don't know what you are even trying to say at this point. Could you explain what you mean in more detail? I'll explain where I'm coming from. If you bundle DLLs with your program then you have a stable ABI automatically,

That is a truly bizarre thing to say. Do you believe that everything with a name exists? If I say the words "the great replacement" does that mean that it actually exists? If I say "COVID-19 lab leak" does that confir

Publishing someone's real name online isn't doxing when his real name is already publically available online. It just isn't personally identifiable information when it is already public. Is it doxing to say that "rms&q

TV ads are okay because you can mute it. Radio ads are obnoxious, always louder than the actual problems.

I never had any ads on Netflix when I paid for it.

They wouldnt be very expensive. Advertising is very inefficient and the payment per view is already very low. Yes things cost money. Why should the poor be subsidised in viewing a website when they arent buying the expensive products bein

As I said, I haven't seen them. If they get downvoted immediately so they are hidden then just don't enable showdead... And you cut out the 'violently' part. Frankly I don't think someone's views on whether i

No it is not. It is the revealing of personal information in such a way as to allow someone to be targeted in real life.

Yeah, it is just another example of specialisation/divison of labour.

Vulkan is way better than Metal. Metal is simpler to learn. That is about it.

Also USB-C absolutely sucks. The socket seems to attract dirt and dust in a way that prevents its proper working like no other.

>That the stable ABI you get on Linux requires you to bundle literally every dependency you have as if distros don't exist... This is not true. If your target platform is a distribution then you can assume that distribution's

Actually my point is that blindly enforcing the simplistic idea would be beneficial in the vast majority of cases. Also I think the parents whose children are using computers productively know it, anyway.

>transfer both scientific and socio-emotional concepts from the show to the real world. It really is mind-blowing as a parent. The last place I would want my children to get socio-emotionql concepts is YouTube...

Almost every child that uses a screen is just using it to consume. Yes in theory it is simplistic to say "screen time bad", not everything needs to be a super detailed, super nuanced discussion all the time.

Yes, because they would lose all their customers to their competitors, which is exactly what has happened to Docker.

which is why the Linux approach is superior: it has a stable ABI that is language-agnostic.

by memefrog 3y ago
That is completely irrelevant to the discussion. The point is that both systems have very stable ABIs. Windows has a somewhat higher-level stable ABI, but as a result it is a much wider surface to keep compatible, it breaks much more ofte

And? All of the shared objects you bundle on Linux will eventually call system calls to do anything. What does "no they don't" mean? People absolutely do bundle all their dependencies on Windows that aren't part of the s

That is meant to be distributed with the game (hence the name).

>Windows is the opposite: the only stable ABI is the dynamically linked user space ABI. ... to the kernel. So not the opposite at all. In fact exactly the same.

Why would you try to run Nautilus from 16.04 on 22.04? It was distributed in a way designed to be run on 16.04. Are you under some weird delusion that you are forced on Linux to develop software in one particular way?

Repeating this FUD meme over and over again does not make it true. Yes we get it. You read an upvoted HN comment once that said "Windows API is the stable Linux ABI now" and know you can get upvoted if you just repeat it. But i
