It is predictably bad. I think I'm 5/5 for my last few trips with big delays or even cancellations of legs.

Can confirm, starting and running a business in Germany is miserable. The processes are all non-digital, and have many steps like Notaries for example.

I thought Tyr was the Norse god of War & Justice. Considering that the Mali GPUs were developed by ARM Norway, and this driver is Just, I would say this is one aptly named driver.

Very on brand for Germany to invest tech 15 years past its prime.

He treated his cancer with the anti-threadworm medication Ivermectin.

Sounds really interesting. CCC is an amazing event.

Sure, it's happened before but it is not in Apples customers interests, just Apples corporate moat building interests.

This quite clearly shows the cost of Apple preferring to build a software ecosystem moat, than using the Vulkan API which every other OS supports. Vulkan support was introduced in …

Arduino is a tiny market, and Qcom has left bigger things to die on the vine previously. They dont need Arduino to succeed in any way.

I can confirm. While there is a fair amount of train infrastructure, it is horribly unreliable. Plan for being delayed for 30-50% of the scheduled travel time.

Qcom is a lawnmower, if you stick your hand in, it'll chop it off.

Qcom is a corporate behemoth, much like Oracle. In the immortal words of Bryan Cantrill, it is a lawnmower and if you stick your hand in it you'll get it chopped off.

Very true, if only more sanity was brought.

American institutions are truly being gutted and weaponized.

I don't think I agree with any part of this take, other than postmarketOS having a bit more money would be nice.

I just set up my first Incus machine, and it was a joy.

It really is too bad AV1 hasn't had a successor yet. x264 and x265 are patent ridden scourges and should be avoided wherever possible.

Reagan taking away collective bargaining rights for ATCs seems to be what have led to the shortage and the helicopter accident last week.

Based on exactly what should the computers make management decisions? Reports filed by humans? Or meaningless automated metrics?

@levkk How do you thing it compares to loco.rs, I'd like to understand the differences.

Security + build time isn't the issue, but security + dev/testing time is. Maintaining a secure package of zlib takes linearly more time with more versions of it used. All distros …

The ESP32 is 802.11n over 2.4ghz with no MIMO, so the bandwidth will always be bad.

Isreal has funded Hamas directly too. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/10/world/middleeast/israel-q...

Almost every FDO member is an employee of a corporation. Some are required to use their corporate email for upstream contributions. This is all very normal.

Yes, I read it. No one is owed FDO membership. FDO is a community, and having people be treated with respect is crucial for maintaining this community. Letting people with a histor…
