That's probably just due to the older kernel. I go back and forth between Fedora and Ubuntu a lot, and once you get past the snap/flatpak and the apt/dnf differences everything feels the same. I usually format my Fedora disk

Dotnet is pretty fast these days. It has a lot more low level control than something like Java, with value types and manual memory management available (it invented the unsafe{} blocks Rust is famous for). MS even had a prototype version of

That's desktop market share. I'm sure the comment you're replying to means overall usage including mobile and server, where Linux is far and away the leader.

Modern GNOME distros (Ubuntu and Fedora when running Wayland, for example) work pretty well with a trackpad. You get all the usual Mac-style gestures: two finger scrolling, pinch to zoom, three finger horizontal swipe for workspaces, three

You don't have to root them to do cool shit anymore. They have a full Linux (Debian based) environment you can enable with a single toggle in the settings. Any GUI apps you install via apt get their icons dropped in the system tray and

This completely ignores all their reasons to move to the new architecture in the first place. My understanding is that they had a mostly in-house architecture (that predated Kubernetes' rise) and by moving to this new platform, they ar

It doesn't work this way really? It's called a layer because each layer on top depends on the layers below. If you change the package defined in the bottom most layer, all 49 above it are invalid and need re-pulled or re-built.

I've had good luck with syncthing. But I only sync between laptop and desktop.. the mobile story with syncthing isn't ideal.

But the em-dash is a different character. I think even those that use a pause would just opt for - on their keyboard, whereas the em-dash — requires additional work on most (all?) keyboard layouts. It's _not_ more work for an AI though

You can "chain" them and there's some native support for this in Gitlab, but I can't say I've ever tried using it. If I really need a feature branch, I just create a separate branch and target my MR's to that u

My old job used Gerrit, and new job uses Gitlab. I really miss the information density and workflow of Gerrit. We enforce fast forward merges and squashing for MR's anyways, so we just have an awkward version of what Gerrit does by def

I know devs are a different market, but how many folks do we know daily drive Mac/Linux and use MS dev tools? VS Code, Typescript, .NET? I think they'll do just fine if Windows dies on the vine. They'll keep selling all the s

GTK apps can be written in pure C. GTK itself is.

No I think you're 100% correct. But these people also miss out on the irony that using "lines of code" as a metric is a literal meme amongst software developers.

Oh I agree 100%. Use the right tool for the job. I'm just saying, the "<hyperscaler> uses <framework>" logic is rarely useful to justify anything.

Citation needed. For both the existence of said people (how do you develop said design sense without a ton of coding experience?) and that they are 100x more productive.

Depends on your definition of "use." They use an internal async fork, and don't use the ORM: https://djangochat.com/episodes/django-instagram-carl-meyer

by seabrookmx 8mo ago
In Instagram's case, they do not use the ORM or Admin, and have an internal fork of the request handling/middleware stack that is 100% async (before the recent async bits were added to Django)[1]. It's great that Django'

Valve has a containerized Linux runtime (ala flatpak) to solve this issue for native Linux titles: https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steamrt/-/blob/steamrt/...

Valve is working on this problem for native Linux games: https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steamrt/-/blob/steamrt/... This is a similar idea to flatpak/snap etc.

You're assuming no game studio would test their windows executable on proton, just because they develop on Windows. If there's non-trivial market share to capture by being "Deck verified" I don't see why that would

Is that a fair comparison? It seems like people have a compelling reason to use Linux (hardware compatibility, avoiding MS spyware, price, etc). I admit it was before my time, but what was the draw for OS/2? Even it's technical su

I've been really enjoying ruff/ty on my non-Django projects. Was there anything special you had to do to make ty play nice with Django? I kind of assumed with how dynamic a lot of its functionality is ty would just throw a type er

IMO this is an antipattern because having a python file for each environment means you have bespoke code for each environment that is difficult to test and easily diverges from each other. If you use OP's way (I do something similar us

It's odd that the async/await syntax _exclusively_ uses threads under the hood. I guess it makes for a straightforward implementation, but in every language I've seen the point of async/await is to use an event loop&#x2F

Surely you mean extreme poverty has been decreasing as a percentage of population, not in real numbers?

My point is that a modern vehicle of the same size is much safer. The Ranger changed size categories but let's take a Tacoma from 2005 and 2025: you're much better off in the new one with it's better crash structure, airbags,

If that's the one with the wet timing belt, then I can think of one way to make it better!

It's also unsafe. He's comparing it to a modern Ranger, not the Ranger of the same year as the C15 (which was much smaller and got better fuel economy), and he completely ignores the fact that the Citroen wasn't sold in North
