I think the complexity of C++ comes from the edge cases, unexpected interactions between features, conflicting syntax, and bad assumptions made over its long history. I mean, the rule of three is just insane. How is anyone supposed to ant

The latter is what he wants. He is happy for people to charge for software, but he advocates that the owner must have full control.

What if those thoughts and opinions undermine the effects of FLOsS?

You’re free to use Rust that way if you prefer.

Personally I interpreted the parent as pointing out that C does not offer strict typing.

More specifically, Gatekeeper is (unless I’m mistaken) an “Operator,” which is a Kubernetes-native app that extends Kubernetes itself.

There was an article here yesterday where the comments were almost nothing but complaints about administering Kubernetes. Tools like this and KNative make me feel like Kubernetes is the next UNIX: it’s a platform. You don’t use it to run a

How will this affect using Firefox on an intranet, where there are often services and websites on a local-only DNS server? Will Firefox be unable to reach those sites by default?

I can really understand that… but I believe that such organizations will experience significantly more problems than just Python upgrades. (I work for one.)

If the only way your organization can prioritize this is either “drop everything and update” or “completely ignore and do no work to prepare,” then it sounds like Python versioning is not your biggest problem.

I can see that mentality, but what I’m saying is that, personally, if I become a Nazi, I think I should be deplatformed.

I didn’t say it wasn’t political, but it’s not just undesirable for immediate political reasons — it’s undesirable for nearly universally-agreed moral and ethical reasons. So implying it’s only inconvenient for politics is, in my opinion, m

It’s not censorship: they are not suppressing information, they just aren’t allowing their resources to be used to spread it. It would be “censorship” if they actively antagonized any attempt to spread the information, such as by lawsuit or

That doesn’t mean all reads have to be immediate, only some.

I think it’s somewhat misleading to refer to those who support genocide and child abuse as simply “political undesirables.”

Has i3 performance been an issue for you at some point? It’s always seemed perfectly fine to me, but that might be the environments I’ve used it in.

Android Messages is not a true competitor here, since iMessage naturally scales up to E2E encryption. (Not a concern for everyone, of course.)

It covers a lot of the same ground, but IMO is much easier to use all around.

I think there’s definitely room for mirrors of package repos that focus on a stablized and audited subset of packages, with frequent security and bug backports and medium-length cycles for new features — like what Fedora and Debian do, but

If JSON did support this (and multiline strings), I think it’s unlikely anyone would reach for anything else.

I believe they aren’t just progressing towards reproducible builds, but that the whole system is already predicated on them. In Nix, you have to make special exceptions for packages that aren’t rebuildable from source.

It doesn’t depend on additional hardware, but it’s designed to make it very easy to cross compile. The internal Google tool it’s built on also has strong support for sharing build servers between devs, and they want to enable that in the op

There is a lot of speculation that Google is developing Fuschia because they want to move _away_ from their mobile OS being so thoroughly FOSS.

TensorFlow needs a lot of scaffolding for managing the lifecycle of data/&c. A big attraction of Qt is that it is often more like writing Java than C++.

VMs do have a place for that now: many shops run thin clients into a cluster for workstation uses.

How much would something like Wireguard mitigate this?

The Advantage has been updated into the Advantage II (I have two and adore them ). One of the big changes is the function keys, if that is ever of interest to you.
