The problem isn't that web sites or domains expire. It's that adding another redirection like URL shorteners makes another point of failure. And URL shorteners create points of failure across many points. It also makes it more d

Can you explain what you mean by "the entire brand got hand-grenaded" and "not get greedy"? Is this in reference to them selling to Fitbit? Or something before that? I purchased a Pebble Time Steel fairly late in the com

Ah, my bad. I was confused because I never run into linker issues when I build my rust (or any other type of) binaries on a NixOS system. In fact, I am running the `evdev` example and I don't get any linker errors at all even when I ch

How does an article on NixOS talk about the `rpath` issue without also mentioning the `patchelf` utility that NixOS developers created to solve this issue? It's a small tool that lets you modify ELF executables and binaries. It's

You're stating a lot of interesting opinions, but I do not see any arguments to help describe why you feel that way. How exactly is Nix monolithic or proprietary? And what is complicated about it? It seems pretty simple to me, if not a

As someone who knows little of quantum computing, can anyone explain what the article means by 'Multi-SIMD' in a conventional computing context?

Well it can't be known for certain without performing benchmarks to test it, but I would presume a hardware-accelerated renderer is far more efficient than a software-based one.

Isn't the purpose of GPLv3 to handle Tivoization and AGPL was made to handle server-side sort of use-cases? If I use AGPL-licensed software in a SaaS type of environment, I still need to release the source-code even if I'm not dis

Not defending the author, but aren't you totally misunderstanding the fact that Nvidia providing excellent CUDA support is irrelevant to this conversation? The fact is Nvidia has a long history of providing the bare minimum to Linux

"in the spirit of C" is pretty ambiguous. What does this do better or differently from other libraries? There's no working examples shown. There's a "real-world examples" link, but it seems to just point to ano

I did not say the intelligence services do not have any burden of proof. Their claims absolutely require evidence that can stand up to scrutiny. I'd say they even require harder evidence because of the history you mention. You can say
