I’m not sure if you are complementing or denigrating golang’s tooling. Most “STEM software” packages are horrendous in terms of user/developer experience, to the point of hampering…

>Your comment boils down to "I'm smart", which in the end, isn't terribly smart. They are saying that a programmer should be able to cope with the cognitive dissonance of not immed…

They can’t be hemorrhaging cash when they IPO.

I'm not "playing a game". "Feld" purports to be a FreeBSD ports committer. Someone with commit rights on a major project would know how to properly file issues and work with other …

>If “If you break the law, then you go to jail” is not “you broke the law, you are going to jail”. I didn’t judge the entire FreeBSD community based on this blog post.

Where did I judge the FreeBSD community?

Worse yet, despite publishing seventeen blog posts between filing the issue and finally responding to it, he has the gall to open with "Sorry I missed your replies (life gets busy)…

I don't see how OpenSSL can recover from it's 3.0 disaster. They would basically have to write off the past few years of development work and start over from version 1.1.1

The blog author seems like a real piece of work. He ghosts the WolfSSL maintainer for over 160 days and when asked to open a new, more specific issue, he instead chooses to write a…

I like how ZFS doesn’t have “bugs”, it has “defects”.

A CPU produced after a certain date is not guaranteed to have the every ISA extension, e.g. SVE for Arm chips. Hence things like the microarchitecure levels for x86-64.

More aggressive optimization is necessarily going to be more error prone. In particular, the fact that -O3 is "the path less traveled" means that a higher number of latent bugs exi…

Mathematica recently added the Tabular command, for what it’s worth. I haven’t used it much yet, but it seems to be quite capable.

"They didn't showing up to practice. If they did show up to practice, they weren't practicing hard. If they did practice hard, they didn't have the commitment and drive to win. Tru…

It seems like you have misunderstood the author of the article. The point of the MacArthur Foundation is basically to launder the MacArthur name in the eyes of the public. So that …

Molten iron can be poured in open air. Doing that with titanium will yield a distinctly different results.

+1 for Minion Pro, Minion Math, and PragmataPro. Those fonts have been my preferred defaults for years now. While they are expensive, it is worth it to write in a beautiful font an…

God forbid you used cgroupsv1 for anything when poettering unilaterally decided to punish everyone with a 30 second delay for using it. Intentional time-delays are a nice middle gr…

The problem is that "weird CPUs and embedded systems" are not mainstream platforms, nor do they have a lot of money behind them (particularly for open source development). Hence, t…

GCC still for Linux distributions using glibc or any other library with many "GCCisms". Also, I'm not sure whether or not Clang is ABI compatible enough for enterprise customers wi…

Where the Soviets were first, the US was typically very close behind (sometimes by just a few days). However, US space missions were of significantly greater value while Soviet mis…
