The second part in the series deals with that by mounting it read-only from initrd.

The problem with Wayland in this respect is that there is no such generic interface that works everywhere - each compositor may choose not to support it at all, or support it in different ways. If there was a single standard way, great. I

This is meaningless. A Turing machine is defined in terms of state transitions. Between those state transitions, there is a pause in computation at any point where the operations takes time. Those pauses are just not part of the definitio

Yeah, I'd love to find time to. But e.g. I think that is also a "later stage". If you want to come up with novel optimizations, for example, it's better to start with a working but simple compiler, so it can focus on a s

No, twisting ot to be about how to create such a system is the strawman. > Turing completeness not necessary for creativity--not by a long shot. This is by far a more extreme claim than the others in this thread. A system that is not eve

There's no evidence to suggest a quantum computer exceeds the Turing computable.
759.
by vidarh 7mo ago
Compilers are a hobby of mine, and I'd extend that to argue that the majority of compilers do not contain anything innovative either.

In their example it doesn't matter is this case if the models get better or not. It matters whether inference gets cheaper to the point that we can afford to basically throw huge amounts of tokens at exploring the problem space. Furt

Yeah, it's a bit like taking the output of a student project in a compiler construction class and using it to judge whether said student is capable of innovation without telling them in advance they'd be judged on that rather than
762.
by vidarh 7mo ago
No, but unless you find evidence to suggest we exceed the Turing computable, Turing completeness is sufficient to show that such systems are not precluded from creativity or intelligence.

by vidarh 7mo ago
"We", yes, but my point is that most people who write compilers do nothing but implement known techniques. If you then judge human ability to innovate by investigating a single compiler for innovation, odds are you would get the e
764.
by vidarh 7mo ago
You won't find anything innovative in most human-written compilers either, so by that argument we can't advance the state of the set either.

This is an excellent description of why this is an awful situation. It's extremely user hostile. > The problem with X11 is that it has for a long time exposed too much unrelated functionality like this to the user It's not &quo

There's no need to compromise the security of the whole system. A trivially safe option would have been to restrict the ability to acquire global keybindings to specific clients, and require the user to confirm either once or every tim
767.
by vidarh 7mo ago
Th point is the decoupling. sxkhd runs irrespective of wm and means your en can optionally choose not to handle key bindings at all. With Wayland you end up depending on whether or not and how your compositor supports it.

According to Bob Frankston, Bricklin's co-founder[1]: > The basic approach was to allocate memory into fixed chunks so that we wouldn't have a problem with the kind of breakage that occurs with irregular allocation. Deallocatin

In addition to the other reasons given: Sometimes it also makes sense if your income is lumpy and you e.g. expect to have years where your income will fall into a lower tax band. It then can pay to suddenly recognise more income to take out

Limiting the blast radius when a bomb goes off is still helpful even if you don't prevent the bomb from going off. Now, you're right that sandboxing them is insufficient , and a lot of additional safeguards and thinking around it

Nobody has suggested anything else, but that still does not mean you need - or should - burden your customers/users with every problem you run into. Nobody does that because it's make your users run screaming to your competitors.

I was in a call just today where specs were presented as a new thing.
773.
by vidarh 8mo ago
The opposite is true. If you spoonfeed them every error or gap during development, they'll quickly ditch you for someone who will not bother them with all the things they expect you to know how to fix without their involvement.
774.
by vidarh 8mo ago
Presumably you have at least a partial spec, and some domain knowledge. If your invoices doesn't show amounts or a recipient address, for example, you don't need a user to tell you that is an error.

Videos of actual C64's on actual CRT's are pretty consistent other than brightness, though, so if it doesn't at least somewhat match those, the model is broken.

On my screen that doesn't match videos of actual C64's on actual CRT's. (It also doesn't match my memory of them, but that's a whole lot less reliable)

One floppy holds 176KB per side. One full screen of bitmap graphics is 8KB+1KB color, but the game fills only about 2/3 of the screen, so lets say 6KB w/o any compression. I don't think it's a problem. The game is stat
