I'm totally on the opposite side. A Linux environment is superior for doing development (for everything I care about), and nowadays I've been able to play every game that doesn't have a native Linux port in Proton.

I currently use bare repos on my server. It might be fun to give them a web interface, thanks for the links.

I'm on Linux now, very interested in using Wayland+Pipewire, but still stuck on Xorg. What distro are you using? I was considering building a Wayland/Pipewire Desktop software stack from scratch since my distro doesn't suppor

I'm curious what you think of PipeWire: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/Per... It claims to get near Jack latency, while implementing a more generic audio graph with better

I generally agree with you, and I like that it doesn't harp on this aspect when talking about his life, but doesn't pretend it's not there either. I am not familiar enough with Feynman's life to hold a particularly nuanc

I'm somewhat clueless on this front. How usable is Swift outside of Apple OSes? I recall reading here that the language toolchain is broken all the time for other platforms. Is that still the case?

I was trying to find out if they were a reputable news organization, so I did a search, which wasn't very helpful. So then I just started clicking around the website. If you go into Top-Storys, it looks like a link aggregation website

I share your belief, I think the web is in danger too. Even more than the terrible state of these walled garden social networks and terrible app permissions, is the threat of Google AMP. There has been an uncoordinated but pervasive attempt

I think this happens a lot with the Linux kernel. Where they struggle to maintain backwards compatibility, in the face of applications relying on undocumented implementation quirks. I think this case is a bit different, in that the bug alre

I've had similar issues, though it was actually caused by Ninja, and not Make. I was doing a build of clang+llvm itself, and somehow all the link steps ended up happening about the same time. It really exhausted the memory on my system

No matter how detrimental software patents are to the big players, they are far more detrimental to the small players. If it can keep the smaller players from being real competitors, it's in the best interest of the big companies to ju

I also enjoyed playing as the Psilons. It's probably nostalgia, but there is still stuff I miss from more modern games like Stellaris, that I think MOO2 did right. It was really only the late game that became tedious. There were tons o

For exactly that reason, I've encountered peripherals getting stuck during i2c transactions far too many times. At least a handful of times I've had to add boot (and sometimes runtime) logic to clear stuck transactions, due to the

This is grossly simplified, but I feel like I'm responding in kind. The fundamental nature of a non-co-op business is that the company gets more value per person than it costs to employ that person. Companies have been "stealing&q

I've been looking forward to using bcachefs as I had a few bad experiences with btrfs. Is bcachefs more-or-less ready for some use cases now? Does it still support caching layers like bcache did?

I'm a novice at it, but I have written a few small eBPF programs in assembler. To elaborate on what aey said in the sister comment, since eBPF allows user applications to generate code that runs in the kernel, the language is kept pret

I feel like this is a safe assumption, but I assume you do most of your performance work on Windows? Since you would even focus on OpenGL at all, I have to assume that you at least spend some of your time developing on Linux. Have you tried

You also don't even need to use RF. You can also use high-frequency audio to communicate to other devices, though I guess I'm not sure how you get it out of the building. It has been said that covert agencies have monitored conver

In my experience, most companies don't think this way, but definitely should think more like this. That said, companies that need more speed often don't need that extra speed on just one node. So that's really $5K x N nodes.

I'm curious too. I have only used Blender, I only do this as a hobby. Ten years is a really long time though. Google's Go programming language didn't exist ten years ago.

As the sibling comment from anderkaseorg says, IRV is one of the worst single-winner voting systems that isn't plurality voting. Third parties would greatly benefit from range-voting[1]. I used to favor Condorcet voting methods as an i

Do they though? Everything as a file is an abstraction, an enormously useful abstraction. The point isn't that it has to behave like a file in every way. At the C level, the fact that open(), read(), write(), or e/poll() behave th

I kind of agree, but there's no doubt that there is an agenda, and it's worth considering that if you don't have the background to assess the objectivity of the article purely on its content. Knowing who profits is an enormou
