While there are for sure a lot of programming jobs that don't touch anything "important", like making dime a dozen websites or apps, I think you underestimate the number of things …

It might be fine for some, but it is an accessibility issue. Just like some people can't deal long term with either light mode or dark mode (and some are fine with both).

And yet, KDE Plasma is so more usable than Gnome these days, because they swung too far into removing settings. You needed to install a separate Gnome Tweak tool to even be able to…

Looked through it. I'm only considering things while they owned it. For example, Github was pretty good until Microsoft made them migrate to Azure. Uptime has been bad since. Sever…

The kernel is okish. But compared to Linux it is surprisingly bad at a number of things. Handling lots of tiny files in huge directory trees is much slower on Windows than Linux fo…

Arguably Sweden (and possibly the other Nordic countries too) are even better places to live (or at least equally good). Well, as long as you can stand the climate and the lack of …

Not OP, but I have, and I'm not impressed. Perhaps it would be good if you are doing things in the training data (like churning out yet another bland website). But if you are doing…

Oops I missed that indeed. Too early in the morning, my bad.

Even if they did (and I dont see any evidence either way), lobsters is an entirely different site (that also requires invites, excluding the majority of users from commenting). Sin…

That seems a bit harsh, we dont know if both posters discovered this article independently.

> Rust doesn't get to override musl internals. Is malloc not a weak symbol in musl? I would expect it to be overridable like it is with glibc. Or does ripgrep only override Rust's …

Reading the linked bug report about executable stacks they fixed it? So they did the right thing. I'm not saying there will never be bugs (no non-trivial software is bug free), but…

Glibc is backward compatible though, they even have symbol versioning to provide multiple versions of the same symbol. So as long as you have the same or a newer version of glibc (…

> Benchmarks show that per-paragraph recompilation achieves O(1) latency, constant regardless of document size, whereas Typst’s [3] incremental compilation scales linearly (O(n)). …

Oof, please report that as an issue (if it hasn't been done already). KDE uses https://bugs.kde.org

Linux usability has come a long way in recent years. I switched full time to Linux in 2006, but I can absolutely understand those who wouldn't back then. These days? Unless there i…

There is no reason we need a badly coded vendor control panel to install firmware upgrades though. On Linux https://fwupd.org/ is a database for vendor firmware, and you use one sh…

> And then what, ever single gaming mouse/keyboard config is going to appear in the Windows UI dialog? Actually, why not? The driver could declare a list/tree of extra configurable…

Dont forget they own github too. The vast majority of open source software is on there these days. Yes there are other options: gitlab.com, some project specific gitlab instances (…

Outside of Embassy in embedded, tokio is the only realistic choice though, because it is likely that any third party async crate has a dependency on it already. Yes, smol, monio, g…

Apple is also a record label (that existed before the computer company), specifically one owned by the Beatles. There were even some legal battles between them, see https://en.wiki…

Well, they could have used a less generic and misleading name (it is not very open, as noted in the article). OpenAI only really have themselves to blame here.

> Much better than modern insurance! Sort of, unless you lost it to a fire or flooding, which the thieves guild presumably wouldn't cover. Also, is this really true or an urban myt…

In Swedish "korn" is a specific species of grain (called barley in English). For grains in general we use the term "sädesslag".

Something like Anubis in front of the server to protect it might be an option. It sucks that we have to resort to that yes, but it seems the least bad option currently (better than…
