Different programming languages are very obviously not the same thing - different cp command implementations are similar conceptually to having different linker implementations tha…

Writing linkers must be incredibly rewarding - go has its own, there's mold, there's LLD, there's the OG GNU bfd LD and now Zig has one too! I am sure there's a Rust one too - Wild…

Now they only need to make sure that a supply chain for replacement batteries exists, there is regulation and competition and options remain available for a reasonable price. There…

I am a full time KDE/Arch user and since Plasma 6 haven't had any HiDPI issues including monitors with different DPI or X11 apps - of which there are very few nowadays.

I meant the I have no interest in knowing anything about any company's internal tech stack and also no interest in tying my application to one company's internal stack. Much of it …

Stopped reading at proprietary. Seriously why would I care tying my app to something proprietary and have no way out of it?

I was referring to the "HTTP request in Tokyo to find the nearest instance in Sydney" part which felt to me like a differentiating feature- no other cloud provider seems to have bi…

> The bidding model is elegant, but it’s insufficient to route network requests. To allow an HTTP request in Tokyo to find the nearest instance in Sydney, we really do need some ki…

This^. Keith W on Dtrace blog said it a decade ago https://wesolows.dtrace.org/2014/12/29/golang-is-trash/ I like Go but I don't really like their NIH / replace everything with our…

Bye Microsoft - I'm already on Linux on all my desktop and workstation machines and working on migrating off of the MacBook Pro. It's only going to get more and more unpleasant in …

Yeah, what I do is make use of the freedom fully when I can and that way it's like I have fulfilled my quota for procrastination and it's easy sailing for the stuff then I need to …

If you truly enjoy the procrastination as opposed to fighting it or distracting to another thing - sooner or later you'll want to do the thing you were supposed to do. Try that out…

I am happy for a new browser/engine but I'm highly skeptical that Ladybird will ever come close to Chrome or Firefox in terms of features, compatibility and performance. It's just …

Ugh I upgraded excitedly and can't stand the UI - there is no upside to any of it. Also for some reason things are also beachballing and VSCode keeps crashing - new M4 MBP. All the…

I have been working on finding out ways to make use of AI a net-positive in my professional life as opposed to yet another thing I have to work around and have cognitive load of. S…

I love using KDE and use it on all my desktop machines. I even have a source compiled version ready to test / hack on if I need - utterly fun and easy to build using kde-builder an…

Thanks, that is definitely a good sign - given the rendering engine monopoly state of Chrome+derivatives and lack of great momentum behind Firefox adoption we need Apple to activel…

Trying to compile it - it's 2.2.0 but better than nothing. I haven't seen any upstream patches for Rust V8 for FBSD so maybe out of tree ones in the ports if it does compile.

Not as big as Linux but I know a few FreeBSD shops that run NodeJS apps so it's not entirely crazy to think that there are more and they would want to try Deno. Besides making your…

Crazy that Deno is still not workable on FreeBSD because of the Rust V8 bindings not being ported.

Try to actually use a recent version. Never had a problem with late plasma 5 and recent Plasma 6 on Arch.

Very clearly written article - didn't feel like they were trying to sell you their viewpoint - just laid down the facts concisely.

Hopefully 8Gb isn't reserved for Apple Intelligence?

Just tried asking Llama 3.2:3b to write a YAML file with Kubernetes Deployment definition. It spit the yaml out but along with a ton of explanations. But when I followed up with be…
