Everyone can, but most just use Github. As a consequence they get to shape the development processes of pretty much anyone and also to do shit like this.

Every time this happens we should think about how powerful github has become and why are we collectively allowing this.

Arguably, zig is not yet at the point where they should care very much about performance regressions.

The matrix chat software desperately needs an alternative implementation, I don't think it matters too much who will do it first.

You seem to be making a lot of bad faith arguments in this comment section. Why are you defending this deal so ferociously?

If you want to make a statement, just don't use chromium in any form. Use Firefox, even if it's slightly worse for you.

I suspect you have no idea what AUR is and how it works and furthermore, you have no experience with software packaging. If a project is using github to publish releases, where else are consumers of that software going to get them from? Hav

Software like VS code is in direct conflict with the way alpine does things. Alpine on the desktop is certainly not for everyone, but for some use cases it works great.

Cargo is a good example of a survivorship bias of sorts. It's so deeply integrated into rust that if you can't stomach it you just leave the ecosystem and everyone that remains likes it ;)

Language specific package managers are the antithesis of package management. There is no "management" in "install multiple versions of stuff in this 10 levels deep dependency tree". Upstreams can pick their dependencies
231.
by turminal 5y ago
The problem here is that distros only supply one version of the package which means you gain nothing by having that same version installed in multiple virtualenvs. So I guess the problem actually lies in the python library ecosystem that&#x

"use virtualenvs and install your dependencies from an unfiltered, unsupervised, untrusted source" is certainly the solution most aligned with the rest of the industry but I struggle to see any technical benefit from it. Other tha

It can be turned of though. Compiler optimizations performed around memory allocations are weird sometimes.

Care to elaborate? What does that change for an average webapp?

Yeah, I know about that argument but it just doesn't make sense to me. Removing the GIL means that 1) you make your language runtime more complex and 2) you make your app more complex. Is it truly worth it just to avoid some memory ove
