Gives me hope for a proton drive app. As soon as that’s available and viable I’ll be able to drop my mega subscription.

Linux is about on-par with windows xp/7 as it stands, and it has been for a while. The reason people haven’t switched is OEM and software support.

I don’t get why people hate semantic whitespace. The whitespace would be there anyway, and if anything it’s easier to read as long as you avoid 15 nested if statements, and you’re not using a dynamically typed abomination like python.

S-expressions are a hack because the Lisp devs didn’t know how to make an actual compiler, and instead had the users write the syntax tree for them. (For legal reasons I am being facetious).

In all honesty, I can understand the reason people love s-expressions, but to me they’re just unreadable at a glance.

I’m a computer engineering major (still a student tbf), I’m well aware of the difference between CISC and RISC, I was making a joke.

Also, I understand your point, but you should know though that a load-store architecture and a RISC instruction set are not the same thing. The vast majority of RISC ISAs are load-store, but not all load-store architectures are RISC.

At this point ARM is a CISC architecture

That’s not what the meme is about? It’s about how everything is marketed as AI these days, even if there’s no machine learning involved whatsoever.

My favorite example

“My laptop died before I could push these”

Not a good commit name I know, but my laptop stopped booting and I just really needed to continue from my desktop.

It’s a student project anyway.

I’m a zoomer and honestly I had no problems with it. I only failed the Michael Cera one because I didn’t notice one of the images had a secret hidden Michael Cera

Lost a couple hours of work on the snap version of krita since it couldn’t save the file for some reason. Switched away from Ubuntu as a whole after that experience.

Was thinking Nim because it’s a couple of these.

Honestly, fish is the only thing I hate about Garuda. The variety of commands is good, but doing any kinda scripting in it physically hurts me. Wish they kinda just stuck with a more conventional shell like zsh.

Cool. It should still use it though. If for nothing else than the parallelization improvements it allows.

If we stuck with the “it works fine so I’m not moving away from it” approach then we’d all still be on x11. Nvidia sucks and they should be more of a team player, but I think they were right to push for explicit sync over implicit. We should’ve been doing this from the beginning on wayland.

That’s SCSS, cheater!

Finally, pure functional rust.

1. The hack mainly targeted Debian and fedora

2. Arch doesn’t directly link openssh to liblzma, so the hack doesn’t affect arch users.

Let me reverse this question and ask what is the benefit of dynamic typing? What is gained from vaguely defined objects?

The purpose of typed languages is to ensure the bare minimum when it comes to safety. That when you’re accessing a field of an object that field is real, and that field is always going to be an int or a string.

Try/catch only goes so far before it becomes way more cumbersome than necessary, as is checking every field of an object.

Typescript is an example of a language that does static typing poorly, because by design it has to. It’s a quick bandaid fix over an inherently awful language.

No. Dynamic typing, though, is absolutely a fad.

Ah. Still, neat pun.

On Linux (Mesa), this feature is known as PRIME.

OH THAT’S WHY IT’S CALLED OPTIMUS
