I forgot to ask my question which was "why are vendor compilers based on clang over gcc", but it must be related to LLVM?

Are vendor-specific compilers generally clang-based? Emcc (emscripten), aocc (AMD), now vcc (Vulkan). I'm not sure about nvcc (NVIDIA) or icc (Intel)

Not to be dramatic but atuin is life-changing. I can resume my working context from any project, no matter how far in the past (e.g. what docker or cmake or make commands I run). I don't need a personal wiki of cli tricks like an &quot

I even consider beginning a project to be synonymous with ending it. I put the idea down in my planner, as if one day a future version of me will know how to do it. Then, as the idea weighs on me, I think, well there is no future me, him is

I've been hoping for a >24 GB ADA Titan consumer/gamer/retail card for a long time. The 4090 is awesome but I don't want the same VRAM as my 3090.

My professor would have asked me what the relevance of Nim is to the actual subject of the research. Going against the grain has a cost, unless you're studying Nim itself.

>"systemd runs services as independent users, it solves that!" It's in a terrible way, too. Not sure it improved but I recall somebody once, at a company I worked at, trying to introduce per-unix-user systemd services (e.g

Systemd is Godsent for people who have to administer diverse Linux boxes. I can see how people who want to run their own tight ship on their machine would balk at it. I also sort of hate the systemd-resolv and the fact that it instantly ren

There is an impedance problem when working on a new project. At the beginning, when there's 0% of the task done, and you need to start _somewhere_, with a hello world or a CMakeLists file or a Python script or whatever, it takes effort

I recently replaced my usage of JSZip with fflate in a project and came away impressed by its speed.

I find this article and the reactions here confusing. This seems to me like unequivocally a good thing for open-source devs. Making commercial vendors who rely on open source software liable for bugs is fantastic news, that's how it al
