These days if a program is made with Electron, I'll either just use the hosted website version (ie discord.gg), or not use the program at all. 120mb+ releases for this program isn't an argument in Electron's favor.

Assuming the power management is correctly setup, yes.

Have you heard of what ICE has been doing for the last six months? And that Trump has militarized Washington DC?

lmfao yeah I heard about this!

As others have noted, the bad thing about social credit is that any one particular institution does it - its that the social credit is mandated by unaccountable entities with lopsided amounts of power. It doesn't matter if its a govern

You literally need calculus to understand dosage response curves.

This was my first thought too, but the largest corporations are way too large any healthy society.

Without having evidence, for or against your point, I'll confidently say both that you're wrong (about the just for nerds/academics thing), and that mainstream computer use makes demanding full ownership even more important.

The formfactor is the biggest, possibly only, factor. The handheld formfactor works way better for most people than a huge (or even small) stationary brick, or even a laptop.

This doesn't stop with handheld computers. If Google will be able to get away with it on phones (which is FAR from guaranteed atm), they will do it on Chromebooks. Microsoft will do it on Windows. Apple will do it on Macs. Then the har

There are billions of computer users across the world, but only 100 or so technobarons who want full control over our computers. Full ownership absolutely can happen. It was the standard for a couple decades in the past, and it can be the s

Why is it weird? You install software on your computer. You install software from your app repository. You install software with your package manager. You install software on your server. You install software on the computers you administra

Nope. Its time to have full ownership over our handheld computers.

Call the library's shutdown procedure before you dlclose. A dynamically linked library is a resource like any other. Ya gotta close it properly. Of course, if the library doesn't probably attempt to close libraries it's respo

Yeah I think you're spot on with the compatibility issues. Obviously YMMV depending on the languages and libraries in question, but yeah there's no one size fits all solution, and writing boilerplate code is the most boring thing

My #1 issue with AI for programming is that while I do trust it to produce OK boilerplate code, I can also just download that boilerplate code, if I haven't already written it myself. Free software is the answer.

Gotcha. Apparently Intel's marketing's gotten to me. I haven't really been keeping up with this stuff, so whenever I read about P & E cores in the past, I think I just assumed that was a thing both Intel & AMD were do

I'd assume both GMP and any CPU intensive game just prefer the performance cores.

You are allowed to read Cargo.toml.

You're confusing compile-time with build-time. And build time code execution exists absolutely exists in go, because that's what a build tool is. https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/go#hdr-Add_dependencies_to_current_mo...

Yeah. The blogpost reads like a confession. It's very strange.

I don't know, but I suspect the builds of the programs you're using play a huge factor in this. Depending on the Linux distro and package management you're using, you just might not be getting programs that are compiled with

Yes. I guess what I meant is that cathedrals are a complex system that we know how to do, and still they take ages to build properly.
