Knowing which projects/languages/frameworks to invest time into and which to skip (even if they produce useful subprojects) is a superpower these days.
Rule #1: Exclude those with corporate ownership or dependence.

Hard disagree here, corporations almost always have the biggest pockets to fund continued R&D.
There’s a tension there, but this is why it’s a skill — theres no simple rule. Fully open source community governed projects can be some of the most obviously good to ignore.

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes, but you pay a real cost for those choices too. A management plane that is non deterministic, imperative, and full of highly mutable state, not to mention basic stuff like the package manager metadata and cache not being shareable, and package installs all having to be serialized because they all call shell scripts as root. These limitations constrain even tools like dagger from providing a first class interface…
I'll bet $20 your solution to the problems you posed is "Nix"
I’m assuming a friendly tone here, and in a similar tone its funny because I also think Nix is not adopted because its benefits just aren't worth the cost to users (devs)

A good start would be to distrust anything made by a VC funded start-up or a once-great tech co.
If you do want to use something they made, create a hard fork and pretend they already ditched the project as they inevitably will.

Intel. The Nvidia of the 90's. Oh success, you fickle fickle bride.-

> wth is going on over at intel Thousands of layoffs. It's surprising someone even had time to post the notice.
no, the message poster keeps his job, so expect more messages

#58It's always interesting when a company announces that it has leadership in paycheck only. We are bankrupt of direction or ideas. Was are going to make panic knee jerk decisons in a public view. I guess to the ultra rich owner class it looks like work. Business idiots all around the MBA tree. I have no stake in clearlinux future or past, just observing.
> leadership in paycheck only.
With your leave I am borrowing this. Succinct yet so very descriptive.-

#59The perf was remarkably impressive & a testament to the team.
Sad to hear about the team & shutdown.
What’s the next best alternative for server use (CachyOS)?

#60What optimizations did they do that had the biggest effect? can they be brought into the mainline linux kernel and distros?
Clear Linux's performance came primarily from function multi-versioning (CPU-specific optimizations at runtime), aggressive compiler flags (-O3, LTO, AutoFDO), kernel tweaks, and a stateless design that minimized I/O overhead.
