But at least there's a standard that specifies what the directories are supposed to mean: https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/index.html I won't argue with your point because you are right,

What's so hard to understand about "apparently illogical but standardised"? I never said it was beautiful, I said that despite being dumb [^1] at least there is a standard for it ( https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.o

It really depends, though. On rolling releases such as Arch Linux it's basically the latest version most of the time, so you can often just roll with it and get stuff done. On Debian and the like, absolutely, you shouldn't be usin

One thing that always grinds my gears is how the macOS filesystem is a hodgepodge of stuff thrown around without any apparent logic (similarly to Windows), which is in stark contrast to the also apparently illogical but standardised hierarc

There's ZLUDA for AMD that actually implements CUDA, but it's still quite immature yet

Super addictive. To be fair, I still don't really get what the best strategy is, especially at the beginning, so I'm getting steamrolled by human opponents pretty easily...

Try doing that in Rust, C++ or Go. It's not only incredibly annoying, it's also often technically unfeasible due to macros/codegen/templates/generics, so you end up with ugly stuff like linking exceptions clauses an

what for? I'd rather just use the MPL2 instead
132.
by qalmakka 1y ago
Well, no, as someone else already stated forcing people to ship object files is a PITA and it's really not feasible with languages that do codegen, templates, ... because you inevitably end up injecting copylefted code inside of your f
133.
by qalmakka 1y ago
My favourite licence has always been the MPLv2. It's basically the best of both worlds, it's copyleft for your code while keeping the ability to statically link (crucial for Rust, Go and other languages that do that by default).

Exactly this. When I was younger they did an exhibit of the Great Wave and Ukiyo-e next to where I lived, so I saved the date when the ticket office opened on my calendar. I then found friends interested in coming with me and grabbed some t

That's always a good choice but 1. They need to also keep the multi arch support enabled in their kernels 2. Apps such as games and steam depend on Mesa, and you don't really want to ship Mesa A good compromise would be for Valve

Yeah but unless the drivers run like microkernel services in a separate userspace, the GPL applies to anything you link into your kernel

Sure but they don't really scale due Apple's refusal to provide a headless version with WindowServer off Also the EULA limits you to just two VMs per computer and only for very specific purposes. Clearly because they want you to b

by qalmakka 1y ago
that's nice and all - but where are the native Darwin containers? Why is it ok for Apple to continue squeezing people with macOS CI jobs to keep buying stupid Mac Minis to put in racks only to avoid a mess? Just pull FreeBSD jails!

Web interfaces are fine for advanced users, but they suck for "standard" users. VMs are hard enough to understand for your average user; the more your UI looks like VirtualBox or VMWare the better

That requires a bit of hacking in general, it's not that easy to achieve that with closed source OSes. Windows supports that via RDP, btw.
