As someone who installed Gentoo from nothing but a Stage 1 iso and kernel tarball back in 2003, this is crazy to read. I was able to squeeze so much performance out of a 300mhz embedded board back then though compared to most distros… after the 6hr kernel build.
Momentum and lack of time and awareness.
Most people don’t associate Windows as anything they can change. It’s what came with their PC, it currently works, it does what they want, the only thing they do is play that game and maybe surf the web… and even if they do know and care, when they get home late from work, the first thing they think is “let’s eat and then unwind with a game and go to bed”.
If more computers came with Linux from the factory, you’d see a better uptick because it’s done, it works, etc.
Also, for many people, they don’t actually understand the difference between the device and the OS. You buy a laptop and thats the whole thing, including the OS.
We’re supposed to use GitHub copilot at work. There’s a Vim plug-in for it that works fairly well.
Personally, I never really counted the RP2350 as a successor. It’s a different animal completely. A 2040 successor would be something like 4x cortex-m0’s or a faster clock with more ram or whatever, the 2350 has completed different capabilities and components and can live along side the 2040.
I feel like the preferred one is the 2040 simply because it’s cheaper, and capable enough for the vast majority of use cases at this point.
Edit: yes I know RPI called their board using the 2350 the pico 2, but the 2040 chip itself is used in more places than just the pico and not every one used the 2350 as a v2.
The company I work for is currently developing an AI based system to “read” legal documents and boil them down to a few pieces of info to shove in a spreadsheet. One of the people I work with has to make a system that tests the quality of that AI. So far he’s found that to be an impossible task because the info he’d check it against, that in which humans did the same task, is also super fallible and basically he’s found that they both suck in different ways.
Which means the AI is just being used because no one can say its wrong, since no one can say its definitively right either… but it’s cheaper.
You wouldn’t use a "vi"itor or an "emacs"itor, you use an "ed"itor!
I have a MacBook at work simply because our Systems and Security teams don’t want to support linux. The only other option is Windows 11 and i don’t need that nightmare.
The best time to shop other jobs is while you’re still getting paid at your current one.
Can’t be eatin’ omakase in the middle of the street
Seriously? There are third party apps to get mac to install a newer os than Apple says it should. Similarly MS prevents installing on PC without certain capabilities unless you install a third party app to bypass. Birds of a feather.
So, just like Windows 11.
I bought it… i wanted the physical disc so I could make a few hackintoshes.
It was only $29.00… I thought that was a weird price, but cheap enough that I didn’t feel the need to try to pirate it. I don’t think windows has been under $100 In decades.
Im really sad that there are no longer manuals in games, and half the time or more it seems nothing has or comes with manuals anymore
“Unstructured Data”.
Same here. Though it makes sense as we also cut a “release” branch that aid what goes to production and it’s behind protections against rogue PRs/commits so devs can’t just push there, the process must be followed. “Main” is for devs. “Release” is for prod. “Master” didn’t really jive with that layout so it’s gone.
So far the only people in the world that think Ukraine has a “Nazi Regime” are the Russians looking for a cover story for their bloody land grabs.
You seem to think democrats give a shit what either Biden did. If there’s evidence of someone being guilty, NO MATTER WHO IT IS, take them to court. No one, absolute No One should be above the law. Same with Trump. Give him a fair Trial. Send him to jail if he’s guilty. Whatever. That’s what we have a line of succession and due process. So Kamala takes over, that’s her job.
I don’t get why MAGA people seem to think that Presidents should be above the law just because people voted for them. They’re not kings. They’re not Gods. They’re normal people. If my chosen football team looses because they’re not playing by the rules, disqualify them. That’s how it’s supposed to work. I won’t be mad at the system because it worked, I’ll be mad at the system if it doesn’t work.
Seriously. MAGA keeps freaking out about Hunter Biden and we couldn’t give a shit either.
It’s almost like we just think people should get what they deserve no matter who they are.
Remember, the days of compiling was back when we were running this on 300-500Mhz single core CPUs with 5400RPM spinning rust and RAM amounts in the hundreds of MB.
The embedded system I was putting this on was a 300Mhz single core low power AMD processor with 256MB and a laptop 4200RPM 4GB drive. And yeah, it probably took over a day to compile everything… but it ran much faster than a stock kernel as I could customize the system to only have what it needed and leverage the on-chip ssl and video acceleration support. I used it for a NAS and home server for years.
