Intel’s low end SoCs are such an undervalued gem. A couple of years ago I got tired of dealing with OpenWRT and various Tomato based firmware or hunting down compatibility between …

Very interesting that I followed a very similar reasoning and settled on F#. Tells me that our process must have been very similar.

Gemma 4 31B as hosted by Cerebras is almost too fast! Like I gave it a few different queries and the response was instant and I thought there was something wrong and there was a gl…

Depends on your point of view. It can be argued that it’s Docker that is reinventing the wheel and doing its own bespoke process management, journal management etc when all of thes…

I took the advice of the other Mullvad founder in the other thread here on HN and signed up for IVPN. So far I have to say I am really impressed. Clients are all open source, reall…

Land of the free, land of the brave. Free market. Freedom of speech. Market economy. These words don’t mean what they use to anymore. Newspeak is in full swing. Words still sound t…

I don’t have hard data to back this up, but I estimate that plenty of main Usenet binary providers easily exceed that.

For similar reasons, I have been working in the public sector (Australian state government) for the past 5 years and couldn’t be happier. I’m lucky that I’m in a team which is hand…

If you care about the publication, you are very welcome to pay and become a subscriber and enjoy an ad free experience like I do. If you don’t, do you really get to complain about …

If you believe, like I do, that there are a lot of parallels between the US of today and the Rome of yesteryear, you might find the answer by reading Tacitus. It turns out, long af…

Have a look at Nim Pascal inspired syntax Ada inspired type system Lisp inspired templating and Macros Compiles to C

I vibe coded a library in Nim the other day (a language I view very much as a spiritual continuation of the Pascal/Modula line), complete with a C ABI. The language has well define…

Since 1979, every US president has known that the US can send a couple of aircraft carriers and bomb the shit out of Iran. And yet none did. Because they listened to their security…

Little known fact, a small piece of BeOS survives to this day and is an integral part of Android BeOS came up with “Binder” for doing inter process communication. Just before Be In…

We live in a timeline where you don’t have to have strong morals to be crushed. If you have any morals, you will be crushed.

Yes but only if you call them export taxes. If it’s payments to continuously verify National Security protections, it’s all good.

I think that choice of words to call them the Department of War and Secretary of War multiple times in that statement was very much intentional. And a point well made.

Used my webcam just fine multiple times today on Fedora Silverblue.

I did this last year. Reluctantly. And using iOS still hurts. But it’s better than that Google crap. I developed my own Android ROMs from 2009-2011, complete with my own tuned kern…

I’m old enough to remember the days that banking apps required Internet Explorer and didn’t work on Firefox. Eventually, they were dragged kicking and screaming to support all mode…

Hannibal knew the elephants would have minimal impact by themselves, they were mainly an instrument of shock and awe and served their purpose well. For centuries, Romans had grabbe…

There are people who believe that KDE 3 was the perfect desktop. They forked it when KDE 4 was released (initial KDE 4 releases were really rough), called it the Trinity Desktop En…

I think plenty of ML languages have similar things. In F# SQL Type Providers have long been a mainstay (which makes using an ORM with F# almost meaningless IMO) https://learn.micro…

Interesting how the definition “real programming” keeps changing. I’m pretty sure when the assembler first came, bare metal machine code programmers said “this isn’t programming”. …

My favourite languages are F# and OCaml, and from my perspective, TypeScript is a far better language than C#. Typescript’s types are far more adaptable and malleable, even with th…
