For "why not macOS on M1," I'm one of those people who customizes their WM to reduce number of keystrokes / mouse usage to a minimum, and that's only really well-served by the free operating systems' WMs. For &

Or just use Gentoo (or presumably Nix), or another distro with support for custom build flags for packages, right?

My understanding was that the RISC-V encoding used lengths as decoded in e.g. [0], whereas AArch64 is uniformly 32 bits per instruction; is this incorrect? [0]: https://www.embarcados.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2017

You're talking about what is called the newtype pattern in Rust, and the newtype language feature in e.g. Haskell, right?

Signal's not like... "tech for tech people." It's very much usable for nontechnical family members, etc.

I think that's actually a bit of a contentious question; I think there's a lot of people that'd argue that it's definitely part of the future of open computing, and I think it's extremely likely that it stays a part

They mention it's patented... Assuming they don't just mean a generic air fryer patent or something, I would think that the patent process is too annoying for a straight-up joke. EDIT: And that said, 3min on Google Patents hasn&#x

I think proper sandboxing on a traditional Unix is hard enough that ~nobody does it right; you can't let any apps run as the user if you want to prevent them from snooping on each others' files, but the user needs to be able to co

This is definitely weaker than a SLIME-like REPL, but I use ghcid --warnings --test My.Module.Tests.runTest, where runTest is tasty's defaultMain, to get near-instantaneous test running on changes to files. (Since it's GHCi instea

The test and validation datasets are under half a gig; I agree it'd be nice if there were a few example items and perhaps a JSON Schema [0] for it, though. I'll reproduce a line here: {"text": "Roman Catholic

Well, if the goal is to produce an example of how one might train a language model, I think it's fine to ignore algorithmic bias issues. But when people are talking about making e.g. AI chatbots to help teach in classes, or customer se

JSON is bad, but as someone who doesn't know what an XPI is offhand, .firefox-extension seems kinda nice?

Ah, perhaps. I haven't measured it; I only use FreeBSD on "applicance-ish devices," i.e. my router and NAS, both of which are pretty overspecced for CPU.

Why is in-kernel Wireguard a priority? I'm happily using https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-go with no issues to speak of, on FreeBSD.

I like the Circle-Ellipse Problem [0] as an example of something CLOS / multimethods are good at that C++ isn't. In general, Expression Problem-like [1, 2] problems are much much nicer to solve in CL. [0]: https://en.wi

Do you know of a tool that can do this for arbitrary programs? Maybe something like CARE [0] to find what the program should be accessing, then building the appropriate systemd configuration files? [0]: https://proot-me.github.io

I think once you add the user input side, you've reinvented something not unlike X-as-it-originally was, though.

If you're using GraalVM already, I think Sulong might be better -- my experience with WASM (for C) is that there's a bevy of POSIX-correct-but-ANSI-incorrect tricks that don't work properly on WASM. Debugging is also much nic

Ha, I usually use a C->JVM compiler as my example of why the C standard has some ridiculous parts, but this works too!
