Dumping on other peoples software baselessly? Haven't decades old flamewars... gotten old? Looking back at your comment history, I can at least I can thank you for recycling. Too bad you can't get carbon credits recycling jokes.

What a fun and cool idea on such a horrid web page. I am curious what it can do, but whatever is going on is illegible and busted for me. I literally couldn't read any text on the left half of the page. I managed to scroll down to a

Effective regulation could actually have made clean coal plants. In principle that junk can be filtered, but it was cheaper to lobby for rules exemptions than to pay for filters. Sometimes damage can be prevented instead of remediated. Some

They actively stifled alternatives that could do all of that.

They lied, they promised X and delivered Y. That is a scam. To expand on this, this isn't just a truth stretching. They didn't deliver X-1, they delivered rubbish. This isn't a tire that self heals small holes but doesn'

"Retroactive Why's" are useful because on evolutionary timescales, and it must be if it impacts mice and people, even a very tiny selective pressure causes harmful traits to be selected against. If as few as 1 in 10,000 repro

This is a large scam and we are curious to see what will happen. If they aren't sued, fined, imprisoned, court-ordered, or otherwise dealt justice it means something very toxic for tech as an industry. And if they are the drama will be

And this is true even if you're not using a product that bills itself "as a service", get somehow we never called the next machines that programmers never touched running a LAMP stack "platform as a service". It&#x2

Thanks for digging in. Would be nice if READMEs opened up with what the thing was and maybe a one or two sentence problem and solution description.

Self-hosted platform as a service?! Isn't the whole point of platforms as a service (from the customer perspective) that you don't need to do the hassle of self hosting. There are pros and cons to using an external service and to

I was trying not to cast aspersions, but I thought you might have been treating this as a binary. I was just trying to place this stuff on a gradient.

I suppose everyone is entitled to their opinion, but most people base it on something. You are free to do whatever you're doing, but I hope no one takes you seriously.

It has been a while, but last time I got the ROCm drivers and some other items that I needed from them there was a really weird proprietary license. That might not be the case anymore my information might be stale.

Going straight by stock price isn't very valuable unless you're selling immediately. 600 million dollars is a lot, and in order for that 12 billion increase to stick around this team up needs to present a lot of value. I'm op

Why the personal attack? I said that I interpreted the previous comment as sarcastic so I could be called out if it wasn't. The author hasn't yet disagreed. And I think sarcasm is warranted in a space that has witnessed so many ba

Approximately half of gaming revenue is from PC customers. It wavers up and down depending on exactly what metric you want to use and when the last console refresh was. You are correct on the complexity cost and how most people, even those

That is the most sarcastic thing I have read in weeks. But isn't getting a software stack the exact kind of thing they need? Is there no overlap in the skills at the purchased company and the skills needed to make the AMD software stac

Thank you for agreeing to leave the discourse. It it shall be much improved through your action.

This is a fundamentally dishonest take. I provided three specific CPUs that varied by just the letter at the end where some had an iGPU and some didn't. I am being honest that some have it but that it isn't ubiquitous.

I wish the places I worked made such principled decisions. Some places did, but not most. In my 2 decades of contracting I have seen plenty of shops with a real fear of upgrading and no plan for modernizing. They are trapped in decades old

Of course you are correct on both points. But subjective doesn't mean "wrong" or "open to every interpretation", it just mean more than one interpretation, and often narrowing down possibilities makes the truth easy

How can the host have integrated graphics, if integrated graphics don't exist? Per, Korhojoa, and my personal experience plenty of desktop CPUs simply don't have integrated GPUs. Consumer mainboards simply don't come with the

There are better and worse ways to do fact checking. Appealing to evidence is more objective than appealing to vibes or appealing to baseless authority. Once solid evidence is in sight then are usually some clean objective takes to be had a

C isn't magic, plenty of people understand it and lots of these projects move quite slow. That these things CVEs on ssh are so rare shows how well this process normally works. These past couple of weeks have had 3(?) ssh vulnerabilit

You need to think about every language's rules and APIs when starting a project. You do raise valid concerns about C++ and those are real issues. Every language has real issues. Some have fewer up front and obvious choices, but they al

Presumably "entire career" means some amount of exposure to other things. In my 21 years coding professionally, I will settle on C++ or Ruby for most problems depending on context. Ruby for quick, dirty, and "now!", whil

At this point a footgun can stand alone in this industry as a term with its own meaning outside of analogy. It is any trap in something technical that is likely to cause problems from perceived normal use. Compare to related terms: "Pi

There are more an less risky behaviors. This is really well explored space in C++. Just using value semantics, shared_ptr, and RAII instead of naked news and reckless mallocs would improve several "old" codebase I have worked in.
