    Yeah, that works for making sure the machine isn't constantly crashing. Although from a security point of view it's still very bad. Every compiler / JIT has bugs, and bugs that let…

    That's absolutely hilarious

    This is about the ACM licensing it to for-profit AI companies, who will then make you pay a subscription to access the knowledge. Not about making it "freely available to the publi…

    Sorry for not being clear, I meant the creators of Fil-C and Zig (since those are the ones mentioned in the article)

    It's annoying how many comment sections online are now just Rust vs Fil-C / Zig flamewars, and the creators of those languages are deliberately fanning the flames. I also feel ther…

    WebGPU only got started in 2021, so Im not sure what you mean. Could you explain? (Or are you thinking of WebGL?)

    I do agree Vulkan is too cumbersome, but OpenGL is definitely obsolete. The OpenGL API with its binding-based approach is also very confusing for beginners, but the replacement Dir…

    Mesa has Zink which translates OpenGL to Vulkan. AFAIK Asahi uses it because they only wrote a native Vulkan driver for the hardware, no native OpenGL driver. Apple themselves also…

    These proposed editions are per connection. A system-wide config file in /etc that changes defaults for every program would break any program that assumes the old defaults. It also…

    It's only easy if you own a mac, otherwise it's somewhere between annoying and impossible. Last time I tried it, you needed a mac if you wanted to: - use AoT compilation (IL2CPP) i…

    Non-US hedging will be big for RISC-V in the future, but the geopolitics can also cut the other way. E.g. US banning US companies from using Chinese RISC-V chips, to protect their …

    I have to imagine these types of features are for people who treat chatgpt like their friend/therapist/girlfriend/assistant/... instead of people who use it to answer questions

    I don't think there's a joke, this commenter seems to believe Rust is controlled by Microsoft
