Ah, you're right, in the codebase I'm familiar with lxml is used for performance, though it's not the default.

I don't think you can possibly argue, in good faith, that in the midst of the tech recession there isn't plenty of local talent available. If you're actually paying decently, and probably even if not.

Not to mention that libxml2 underlies things like nokogiri (the commonly used html parsing gem for ruby), beautifulsoup (python's equivalent), etc.

They couldn't email longtime contributors with a heads up, here's whats happening before revoking commit rights and making changes like this? That's nonsense.

You could imagine some utility to something that actually worked if it allowed you to continue working / not have to clean a hand and get your phone out while cooking. (Not a ton of utility, but some). But if it stumbles over basic q

Google One employees the stupidest human beings on the face of Earth. Two of the morons there tried convincing me that a backup of 10+ years of message history fit in < 2MB, rather than their backup being totally broken. They also lack

That's a lot of entitlement for things you haven't paid a cent for; not just multiple authors but trusted 3rd parties; approval and review; etc.

What seems to have happened is: Blue Systems had a contract with Valve to work on KDE; Blue Systems no longer wanted to be in the contracting business; several Blue Systems employees (Nate and someone else) formed a company, Techpaladin, wh

They also scammed the operators. It was an Uber-esque ploy. What actually got sold was an uber-esque scam: these kitchens were rented to tiny operators who, instead of opening their own restaurants, opened in a ghost kitchen facility. I r

They're also currently nakedly taking bribes from hardware manufacturers to force upgrades to Windows 11, creating a wave of completely unnecessary hardware purchases. I'm trying to figure out how to help a nontechnical parent ru

I still don't understand though. Given their profit margins, the fact that they're shipping m chips in eg $1k computers means it's a $150 part. There's tons of people that would pay $300+ for an equivalent perf + heat x

Huh? That is very explicitly about preventing the migration of your signal messages into Windows Recall. Not the threat model you discuss.

Not arguing, but I would think there is (and always has been) very wide demand for fastest single core perf. From all the usual suspects? Thank you.

You, but shorter: It can't be done perfectly in 100.0% of all possible circumstances, so better to do absolutely nothing at all. On an unrelated note, this strongly aligns with their economic interests. For storage specifically, in th

Honestly, I think it's straightforward to fix. Requirements to attempt to source domestically (or at minimum try hard) plus loosening the rules on firing employees (yes it sucks, but hiring is super risky when it takes 0.5 - 3 years o

I'd call it realpolitik. The eu doesn't write its own software. This is the downside case of that. I personally would be open to trying to change that, but I keep looking at the EU and they don't want to. Many countries ar

It's all a game of lets pretend. The fundamental risk for the EU is the Cloud Act. Since that facility is still owned by a company that is owned by a US company, the Cloud Act applies. Microsoft tried a similar thing in Germany and it
