That's what I don't necessarily agree with.

What's the reason for ffmpeg to use C, also historic?

It's a quote from a crook who seemingly advocates for cruelty and sympathizes with fascist style of government.

I don't specifically want to be compatible with it, no. I mean if ripgrep works for my needs - I'll use it and won't worry if it's POSIX compatible or not.

Of course DRM proponents will never stop this garbage themselves. But people don't need to oblige these crooks and their corrupt laws. As above, nonsense laws are self defeating either way and proponents of 1984 style thought police ca

I'd say POSIX is sometimes overrated. Example: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/1e70e82baa91 Anyway, I don't see any of that as a reason for not having ripgrep installed everywhere by defaul

I think it's more about having a stable interface. If it's not stable - you can't use it as a base tool long term. But if it's stable, what difference does it make if it's POSIX compliant or not?

Ripgrep should be included in all distros by default.

Does anyone still have any doubts that Trump is helping Putin? He consistently helps Russian fascists using "boiling the frog" method to avoid doing it too rapidly. But it's still glaringly obvious. Everyone who for voted for

The law that's nonsense can say anything it wants, no one will follow it anyway - i.e. it's self defeating. DMCA 1201 shouldn't exist too for the reference. Its proponents are all corrupt crooks. I already mentioned the solut

Who said you can't legally copy them? Let the stuck up DRM control freaks sell video DRM-free, then you would legally copy it. Otherwise everyone will copy it ignoring their DRM anyway. Disk is a physical copy. Those who think it'

Nope, not comparable. Streaming isn't a replacement for stored DVDs. Hard drives are.

Hard drives and DRM-free videos are a thing.

Is it using Matrix? And if not, why the need for another protocol?

Mimicking brain doesn't necessarily make it conscious. So again, all of that proves nothing so far.

I'm not sure you have a proof of that to claim there is no point in theoretical discussion. He has a point, that current "AI" isn't conscious and so far there is no indication that it will be. It doesn't mean it can

Yep, exactly. It's not like any of these efforts have enough resources to progress fast. And Servo looks by far as the best of them.

Time for Europe to reduce the discussions and back Ukraine even more. Europe can't rely on Trump and his clowns anymore who will more likely side with Putin and other fascists than with free Europe. They should use all frozen Russia&#x

What's the motivation instead of let's say developing Servo?

I enjoy using neovim. Though I'd argue most of the programming time is spent on thinking what to do, not on typing it. It's different when you write prose or transcribing something. Then typing speed matters way more. That said, h

Since in essence you can define your own functions f that give you any number you want from 2 (and for example not defined anywhere else). I.e. rules never said you can't use any function. They are vaguely saying "any mathematical

I think contacting patent trolls about anything like their opinion on legal matters about existing projects is a huge mistake. It only gives them the idea whom to shake down (namely you, since you contacted them)! It also probably makes it

It's not about the name it's about pace of development. It's extremely slow since they don't see a need for more backing like let's say Blender.

Sapphire Nitro has a really nice heatsink for 7900 XTX. It works well even under full load.
