The OS is coherent (arguably more so than most) even if the GUIs aren't necisarily. A big part of that is because most of the useful apps are shell/VTE apps. Even still it's not like other OS vendors are much better at buil

I say let them. It will make people weary of big companies and value community based solutions instead which are much harder to just buy out or corrupt. You're seeing this play out with Twitter vs Mastodon right now for example.

My point is that they can't consistently write correct software in any language. Javascript for example has similar issues where if you're not careful about which keys in a hashmap you write to you can create situations that allow

Meh. People love to hate on C but the invariants you have to keep track of are relatively simple (things like 0<=i<L.) Most languages replace these with multi-dimensional string based hashmaps that have much more complex invariants to

"GNU C" has a number of features that make the language far more pleasant if you're willing to give up the portability and use them. A big one if you've been using modern languages is anonymous functions.

I don't think the web killed native app development as much as the OS vendors themselves did by making everything miserable trying to build moats.

I don't hate it. The GNU user space is built around a paradigm of source sharing and using the shared source to build a very coherent and pleasant OS. Having some kind of clear separation between that and closed software makes things m

Tokens aren't shares (if they wanted to issue shares they would have just done an IPO) and if you follow my rule you're extremely unlikely to get scammed. I don't know what to tell you if you're going to assume the other

I've been using chatgpt with my side projects. Its ability to generate boilerplate for APIs just from what would normally be a google search prompt means you can often go straight from idea to the part where you're adding the inte

See my other comment. Their token was a scam and failed the standard test that tells you if a token is a scam.

At least where I work we were forced to listen to a couple of lectures from people saying exactly this as part of the "DEI" initiative. The second one of course started with them reading the talmud at us. The whole thing felt like

FTX was really obvious. I saw it before and lumped it in with the half dozen other scams I see every time I mess with crypto. The people scammed fall into two categories: 1) People who shouldn't have been using crypto at all because th

Free speech is fine. The problem with kiwi farms is that instead of using the internet to communicate they were attempting to use it to enforce norms by harassing people. Whether it's antifa trying to bring about its anarcho/commu

Not everything in crypto is a scam. It's easy to tell with eg tokens by checking the contract: if the organization behind the tokens can issue arbitrary numbers of new tokens or replace the contract then it's a scam. The FTX token

The Linux desktop is here for people who want it and has been for years. That only 2% or so of people use it is IMO irrelevant.

People talking about this are approaching it the wrong way. IMO the problem with kiwi farms isn't that they're far Right. A far Left forum should (and probably would) face the same consequences if it behaved the same way; it'

Google will do this sort of thing as well.

Meh. it's really easy to spot scams in crypto (unlike traditional securities, which is kind of the whole point) and it's also pretty easy to avoid losing funds to a failed exchange. If you're not willing to spend the hour tot

IQ is actually trending downwards in developed countries for the first time so, "yes."

That doesn't seem right. Homeschoolers are required to take standard tests at the end of every year. I'd imagine private schools are the same and the truth would come out then.

I think us making it there is a bit optimistic. It looks more and more like the current regime enabling progress on AI (and the internet and production of computers etc.) might come to an end before AI really matures.

This isn't crazy, people already do this with cell phone numbers for sites that force phone verification.

My point was that you can do this without docker. On Linux you can use separate chroots for each project, on OSX you could probably do that too but since prebuilt tools for generating a darwin rootfs are rarer prefixes are easier.

I've been messing around some. Flan-T5 generates surprisingly close stuff occasionally for simple prompts like #square x or #sum the elements in the list.

When I used to use a mac I just put all my "Linux" (GNU really) dependencies in a prefix and that worked pretty well. Docker is kind of overkill for what people use it for IMO.

If it's anything like the rest of the country most of those churches are dead and/or irrelevant. Showing up on Sunday, singing, and giving money to poor people isn't religion.

Is anyone making any new m68k chips these days? I looked for a hobby project earlier this year and it looked like Freescale was doing their best to sunset it.
