I'd go further and state that "ecosystems" are evil as they erode competition. It should be easy to change products independently of each other, e.g. I should be free to choose between Apple iCloud or Google Photos for storin

Oracle stopped distributing JVM for 32-bit Windows after Java 8. Minecraft was using Java 17, and there were other 32-bit distributions for it, but I couldn't find a 32-bit distribution of Java 21.

I feel like many of these things are a source of confusion, including headers and status codes. Others are not really are for free even with HTTP, e.g. load balancing, this is still very much service-specific. UDP-based HTTP/3 could be

This might have been true some years ago, but I cannot agree with it now. There is a well-written IRCv3 spec, which I was following when implementing my own IRC server. I also tested it with several clients and I found out that core functio

Personally, after implementing an IRC+XMPP server myself I became very disappointed by prevailance of HTTP-based protocols in everything. All software is so browser-based and/or browser-driven nowadays that HTTP became de-facto the onl

People had very different assumptions about the Internet and security. What was a federated protocol back than wouldn't be considered now. If that hypothetical evolution of IRC had happened, then I'm sure a s2s IRC protocol would

by vilunov 3y ago
IRC is not a federated protocol, so this is not a big problem. Yes, it's a "relay chat", but in the end all servers of a single network must trust each other, and that means they are being run by a single organization and it&

This is still not a conflicting requirement. Rust relies on implicit bounds, that is said in the linked document, and the "universal" quantification there is not really universal, it in fact has a requirement. It's not presen

The ventilation in rooms was absolutely terrible, especially in building H. Rooms in K and U had windows which could be opened, but even that didn't help much. It's not much of a surprise that many people become sick after FOSDEM.

You are right, but most of what you mentioned is not UI and its UX.

I'm not living with rose tinted glasses, I mentioned search and UAC in my original message. This is not enough to warrant criticism of Win 95 clones. I bet you could add search to Serenity without changing the look and it would still b

We haven't improved much since Win 95 in terms of desktop OS UI/UX. Could you remember any substantial UI improvements between Win 95 and Win 11? Local search, improved UAC and a shitload of ads.

That, and also that it has to be installed globally with the absolute path of `/nix/`. Sure, you can change it, but the packages won't work then.

Unless they become bankrupt and no new modules will be released. It's hard to place faith in the future of a company like that, especially when I need a powerful CPU right now.

I have tried it, and I feel like this is not a good toolkit for desktop apps. It's great for embedded hardware with custom interfaces such as vending machines, car on-board PCs, screens in public transport, but it does not have that na

That's because a single org controls all three messengers and they can develop them to converge to the same message format and to the same encryption mechanism. At the same point Signal or XMPP will use a different format and a differe

Encryption makes it practically impossible to transform messages between different protocols, since the cyphertext contains not only the text content of the message, but also formatting, some attributes (e.g. `reply_to`). Even if it were th

Close to memory leaks, but not exactly: memory fragmentation. Unlike runtimes with managed memory such as JVM, Rust apps cannot take a pause and defragment the memory heap, which depending on frequency and sizes of allocations sooner or lat

It's probably just an unfortunate coincidence. After all, Gemini is a zodiac sign first and foremost, you'd have to specify what exactly you want anyway.
