Nat (she/they)

Not if Random writes to global state, that’s a side effect that must be preserved

Wait till you find out how the runtime manages multiple concurrent timers

Other FOSS people don’t tend to get loads of money from Cloudflare or all this attention for what’s not even that interesting a project.

The Ladybird project is also run by someone who’s said some bad things but it hasn’t exploded in popularity or received 6 figures in corporate donations. Something feels off about this Omarchy hype… like, the product isn’t even that amazing, so the only thing I imagine could explain this difference is that it’s DHH doing it.

I’m not sure how you’re compiling the kernel to take up 70GB, my Linux directory hovers around 6GB.

Okay, so it’s just a distributed linked list where earlier entries can’t be changed without changing everything up to the head? I guess I can see a few niche uses for that. In my head I was just thinking “surely that can’t be it” because it’s so simple, hence thinking the proof-of-[x] thing would also have to be part of it.

I don’t see how a blockchain is necessary there. Couldn’t they just use transaction databases and simple messaging between banks? Also, what is your definition of blockchain? Just a distributed linked list? Proof of work (the part I don’t understand the need for)?

I’ve been using primarily webp for like half a decade and I haven’t noticed many compatibility issues or bad quality. I guess if your software hasn’t been updated in the past decade it won’t work, but in that case I guess we should never make a new image format again?

/dev/null is web scale, it maintains sub 1ms times no matter how much load you give it!

That’s great until someone says “I’m not being a dick, I’m just telling the truth” while being a dick. This is especially easy to pull off against minorities, because the aforementioned “truth” can be based on stereotypes or inaccurate media portrayals.

I’d love to be able to ask directly, but my fear is they’ll treat me differently after I ask. It’s already happened once to me; a friend stopped hanging out with me for a while (I think that’s fixed now, but it lasted months). I feel a bit safer about it around autistic people though, because I’m pretty sure a rejection would be just a “no” and then we proceed like nothing happened.

Given the demographics of Linux devs, it probably would be the latter.

A null pointer exception is technically memory safe, you can get equivalent behavior with .unwrap() on an Option in Rust.

People: hey you should think about this a bit and consider changing it to have a small positive impact

You: 🤬

Nobody’s forcing you to, nobody’s yelling at you, if you don’t do it it’s not a massive deal, you’re just yelling at clouds. Actually that’s not entirely true; I’m yelling at you because of your absurd overreaction to the mere idea of being a little thoughtful.

I don’t know if you got it from media, or you heard about this movement and for some reason immediately jumped to “they’re forcing us!”, but you really need to do some self reflection on why you got it so wrong and why you were so quick to do this outburst.

I see mostly people defending master starting arguments. I’ve never seen anyone pushing for main get even half as mad as some of the people coming up with a reason why it’s stupid. Like, holy shit guys, just don’t change it and move on, why be so mad about it?

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation lobbied against waiving intellectual property laws that would’ve let countries produce the vaccines themselves. Instead, only the pharma companies that owned the IP could produce it, and those vaccines were immediately gobbled up by wealthy countries leaving millions in poorer countries without a vaccine. So no, he’s not one of the good ones, his philanthropy is still evil with a hint of good purely to launder his reputation.

My keys were fine, I’d used them on a previous system. My best guess is boot failed because GPU firmware wasn’t signed with my keys, only Microsoft’s keys. And of course, I can’t just CMOS clear, and I don’t have an iGPU. It’s crazy that an OS can brick my motherboard; I’d be a lot more forgiving if a BIOS option bricked it, but exposing a “brick me” option in efivars for any ring 0 software to press??

I enrolled custom keys and bricked my motherboard 🙃

Who says this is JS? Might be Rust.

Immediate mode rendering and components seem to be why people use them. And you know what? The web should natively support those but doesn’t (well it kinda bad components, but ehhh). Otherwise I agree, the frameworks are overcomplicated.
