I agree that centralization is bad, and one of the worst parts of HTTPS (the other being that things like ed22519 systems, chacha20, poly1305, sntrup are generally viewed as better…

The comparison is to pandas, so single node performance is understood in the scope. This is for people running small tasks that may only take a couple days on a single node with a …

Aw man, are they selling only 4GB ones now? More seriously, even 16GB was essentially the 'norm' in consumer PCs about 15 years ago.

As indicated by the explanation, better for people who believe in FOSS rather than closed corporate software. Most developers work with a Unix mindset (do one thing well, with focu…

https://github.com/servo/servo Servo is upcoming, but so far it is fantastic in comparison to any other browser out there. I tend to focus on any software that does not require 12 …

Perhaps if chrome finally fails people will move to better things, like servo https://github.com/servo/servo . It would be nice to have a completely open source browser that can be…

Mooers law in the consumer space seems to be pretty much asymptoting now, as indicated by Apple's amazing Macbooks with an astounding 8GB of RAM. Data center compute is arguable, a…

What do you mean by Mastadon is a bloated sloppy mess? It was my understanding that Mastadon has _far less_ javascript than Twitter, not more. The UI for mastadon always seemed far…

The biggest thing I want to see from framework is ARM (or better, Risc-V that achieves great low power performance) with an enormous battery and linux or BSD with all the optimizat…

Opensource contains many things, but IMO limiting to core/ packages on arch and never installing anything from AUR will get great quality software, with far better security and pri…

Thanks, this is good information. I'm still curious about size, as it removes attack surface for security. The glibc to musl conversion is obviously not the direct change to occur …

What BSD is the closest to alpine in the Linux space? Which BSD is the smallest in size and very security focused by selecting for minimalism while also being well maintained and u…

Of anyone is making a browser in todays age, I would imagine starting with something like Servo would be best. There are far too many chromium based browsers. A very minimal Rust-o…

This is pretty hard to believe considering how good the ecosystem in Typst is so far. There are quite a few packages for making slides in Typst including [Polylux]( https://github.…

Is that just openssh with an obscured name? It would be nice to simply use the correct basic tool instead of some strange rebranding by a company of a much more well understood and…

>What would "modern" bring to a bank except even more pain & suffering? It probably depends on what "modern" means here. If updating from tons of COBOL to {Julia, Python, Rust, or …

Also importantly, they do have a 'not attempted' or 'do not know' type of response, though how it is used is not really well discussed in the article. As it has been for decades no…

This does not make sense at all as an argument really. I think your argument is about specific implementations of WM. While the argument of "I deal with X11-based WMs because it's …

I really like it. I have been on a quest to find very simple ssgs such as this. I have been trying to out Zola, as mentioned in the readme, but I really want to make sure there are…

Indeed. The blazingly fast speeds of compiling all of the elements that make up arch from scratch (just to say "I use Gentoo"), over that of just using the iso always amazes me. On…

This is a decent point, but in many cases writing software over again can be a great thing, even in replaceing some very well established software. The trick is getting everyone to…

It already is effectively just for industry benefit. It's been like that since the start. Work that is too expensive for industry to do (research and discovery) was put into the pu…

Yeah, this is also not a fair fight. The "will it work in 10 years?" just swayed _immensely_ in Typst's favor.

Groq may be an option?

"Theoretically everything should run in ai" Odd statement. I don't really know what you mean by that. Perhaps 'math _works_, code should too' ? I would definitely agree that it _sh…
