First, FreeBSD is probably the most common BSD you'd run into. Definitely has the largest user base. And of course, large user base, more developers, and usually more ports maintainers. Not always true, but true most of the time. FreeB

I don't know if this explains all the funding. But there definitely was a year where the employees at Microsoft voted to give funding to FreeBSD. I don'w know if it's a thing, but apparently Microsoft had this thing where eve

I'll be honest, until this, I didn't even know you could go to maps in your web browser and use it there. I figured it was really for iPhones and iPads.

My guess is that even if Google Pay isn't profitable, its probably a 'have to have' feature to ensure an Android equivalent to Apple Pay.

What they are probably referring to is that the Clinton Campaign in one of the Rust belt states asked for a recount as "claiming election fraud." The votes were close and within the margin for the campaign to ask. They asked, it g

I took an embedded course in university where we programmed the AVR AtMega 328p on the Arduino UNO not using the Arduino libraries and compiler. Make files and setting up an environment. But yea, a single class probably isn't sufficien

I would also add, look at the astonishing success (sarcasm), of for-profit colleges. They would have to be considered the extreme of treating students as customers and I don't really know any serious employer who accepts a degree from

I used to work for a guy who had his engineering degree from Harvard. I was out of the Navy, got a job but also had a GI bill and was looking to go to school for engineering while working full time. I asked him his advise. Pretty much he sa

I would also say some of the attitude shift is also contradictory. The amount of people I interact with who have a lot of bad things to say about the education who tell me universities should focus on education in a general meanwhile also s

No mention of pay. Also not mention that for about the past 10-15 years, we've also been telling young people AI was going to make truck driving a job of that past also. I remember in 2014 (we are all getting old, that was more than 10

There is also just turn over, from my understanding from a former co-worker who had a kid go into truck driving, that truck drivers very rarely stay at the same company long term. New drivers get their training paid for and have an obligati

Dumb American, so I could be totally off base. But New Zealand appears small enough on the map that just doing a shit ton of barges along defined coastal water routes makes a lot more sense than trains. In the US trains could be efficient,

At the very least, it seems obvious there should be an asterick on the pardon power of, "you can't use it to pardon your employees/staff." Or pardon people for things they did under your direction/purview.

I've been dipping my toe further into gamedev. Been working on a game/maybe minimal engine? Been writing about it on a site. It uses a basic raycaster style rendering with billboard sprite. Shout out to pikuma for getting me start

This sounds pretty cool. As another commenter asked if you have a write up, I just want to throw my hat in and say, I would enjoy reading a write up what your doing. From the technical bits to a review by your daughter of how well the stori

I don't know if I would go that far. Every time my wife goes to a specialist, they just declare her a medical mystery and move on. Our primary care doctor is awesome though. My wife spent years going to different doctors trying to figu

They said vaporware, which isn't necessarily the same thing as abandonware. It still could be vaporware if it never lives up to delivering what it promised. I'm not sure on the current state of those promises though, so I don&#x27

Wouldn't the 'US did a better job with probes and unmanned spaceflight' depend on when you want to plant the flag that the space race ended? If we go with what in the US we define as a man on the moon, the Soviets I believe w

Yup. It's easy to write a to-do app. What is hard is 10 years later of features and needing to add more. While also dealing with the architecture short sightedness and pitfalls. Anyone who has worked on legacy software knows, at some p

I was curious about the SE4 since I had an SE2 and Verizon let me trade in the SE2 for the SE3 for free. Based on the rumors of what the SE4 was going to be, we did get an SE4, it was just rebranded as the 16e. The rumor was they were gonna

I was gonna take some issue with point one until I read point to, which sounds like it addresses my thoughts. China could take Taiwan quickly, but it would come at a pretty high cost to Chinese forces. I personally don't think China is

No problem. Like I said, its easy to think that since they are both unixy-systems and a lot of things "rhyme" that a solution that works for one, works for the other. But that they in fact have different design and development phi

Here is the other part. For the BSD's, it's not as simple as, "someone implement them, then we include them." You can package it in the ports trees, but they won't be apart of the base system. Because BSD and Linux

Oh no, I totally agree. I am just saying from the perspective of the Asahi Linux project and wanting to use as much Rust as they can, that is what they are facing and the associated trade offs. I personally fall a little more on the side of

Redox would probably be the best option. The BSDs, it would probably be an uphill fight to. I believe it's been floated, but no movement on incorporating Rust in the BSD kernels. So I they would have to start form scratch. The benefit
