    FOSS has been a thing for decades longer than LLMs have even been a vague notion.

    You know you can just use a compiled language with statically checked types, right?

    I don't think that's a commonly touted benefit of Rust. You certainly can build a statically linked binary with musl libc (in many circumstances, at least), but it's not the defaul…

    For sure. Context switching tasks is certainly a lot cheaper than context switching threads, but it isn't free.

    The learning effort thing is a solid point. I think what I play most these days is Super Mario World romhacks. Obviously the level design and whatnot aren't the same as the origina…

    ...which changes the economics of sending the spam email. Surely some of them will be "valuable" enough to send even with the added cost; however, a measure doesn't need to be 100%…

    You're describing rustc_codegen_gcc

    Comment #41579590

    It's been a bit since I've added it to an existing project, but at least as of a year or so ago, the Rust implementation (tracing + tracing-opentelemetry + opentelemetry-jaeger spe…

    It is interesting. A subset of functionally (in this case) will build a superset of programs

    It certainly didn't worsen my opinion of the Asahi Linux folks. On the contrary, I commend them for standing up for what they feel is right. I also doubt they really care whether o…

    What? All you need to do is resubmit the request without a Referer header. For me, using Firefox, this meant clicking in the address bar, changing nothing, and hitting enter. That'…

    That's what bindgen is for, as was mentioned in the original comment you replied to.

    This follows the "debt" analogy pretty well - it's effectively the interest you have to pay on your technical debt

    I think I'd love to read a fantasy book based on this premise

    Even if the bus/protocol is limited to "only" disk I/O, you could still have the controller interpret reads/writes to certain addresses as requests for other actions, including int…

    I agree. I love the Steam Controller. It's not great for everything (e.g. Super Mario World kaizo romhacks have, IME, required a real D-pad instead of the trackpad) but it's really…

    Exactly this. I had COVID two years ago, the flu last year, and COVID again a couple months ago. Last year's flu was absolutely miserable; just as bad as COVID was the first time a…

    A Plumber for All Seasons is a top-tier standard romhack. Very cool to see the creator working on something even more ambitious.

    That statistic isn't particularly relevant to people who don't drink and ride

    I agree. And it's not even like "we displayed Doom on X" would be uninteresting , it's just a significant difference from actually running it on X.
