I feel like the decentralization of things like Twitter and reddit makes me wish RSS could make a comeback. Has it? (or did it never leave?)

Maybe the complexity lies in that possessive qualifier "A's foo()" - if this foo() can manipulate the callee state in some other virtual memory domain then it might not be sufficient to link against it in B's application

If you re-syllabize the words and pronounce the last one like it rhymes with "tock" then it's obscene. "Mike Hoch" -> "My Cock"

Weird. I just tried it and it seems to be bootlooping now. Hmm. maybe there's a bug in one of the lines of someone's code. Guess I better get started investigating it. 'Cause once I'm done I've got to start portin

Isn't this already what's done in many cases when artists take on donations via Patreon? Or selling wares on Etsy? Maybe it's not even bad that creating a corporation to manage art doesn't require a B&M gallery or

thanks for sharing - I'd not heard of this but it appears to be available for both Android and iOS, presumably Linux too. Hopefully macos and windows?

If you can use HVF it would be near-native speed. Just like KVM, but quite a bit simpler.

That's a false dichotomy. JSON could have comments and not be ambiguous like YAML. In fact: there exists a specification called JSON5 which does include comments. But I agree that it would've been nice if it had comments before i

Right, but Congress passed a law which limited its own scope to interstate commerce. So while the 14th Amendment makes it eligible in general its specific applicability depends on it itself. And sadly this perhaps qualifies as "due pr

The applicability of this particular statute (42 USC § 2000aa) - as with most of the Federal government's power - hinges on this clause: "...in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce..." It seems plausible that the paper

If we can get rid of the "staging area" and resolve the ambiguities of "checkout" it would be a great step in the right direction.

Jujutsu was discussed recently - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36952796 IIRC it's inspired by Pijul and mercurial and uses git database underneath? or it's git-compatible at least.

Alex's presentation was among some of the cooler ones at this year's KVM Forum. HVF sounds like it has some unique features that make it nicer than KVM for some use cases.

The work involved probably includes porting to the Snapdragon NSP for throughput and efficiency's sake. For LLMs the biggest challenge is addressing such a large model - or finding a balance between the model size and its capability on

IMO the typical use case is for portability to platforms that don't have those features, or implementing a lower-layer: bootloader/OS kernel/etc. Regardless of the runtime cost - you don't have a C/C++ library to r
