Yeah they really like to act like they’re giving away £50k on a whim and not paying someone for their labour.

I’d probably do a clean install (eventually) even if it looked like stuff works for now.

I know the pain, though. did rm -rf in the wrong directory and wiped half my drive in seconds. Good times.

spend a week trawling github and documentation pages only to realise you forgot to delete your cached dependencies

ai is the new stack overflow which is the new copying someone else’s work which is the new reading the manual

Brave marketing has gone crazy to convince people it’s less dodgy than Firefox. Come on!

I’m curious, how well has Musl been for software compatibility? How did you resolve any that came up?

bring back calling sysadmins “webmasters” sounds way more mystical and ethereal

Not quite the same but you might like the Linux from Nothing series, building out a Linux install from first principles.

Obviously lots of linux youtubers have done videos on linux from scratch too but the step by step nature is pretty enjoyable to watch.

Hector and others were really bad losses for the Rust kernel devs but Lina? That’s catastrophic. She was a figurehead in getting apple silicon working so well on Linux that even Linus moved his development machine to an M1 Macbook.

Linus has royally fucked it with how long he sat on the side of this. Im so sorry to Lina and others who have been burned by this community.

all of them if you’re willing to compile it from source, or commit to running some of the kernel on pen and paper

The UK is pretty bad for tenants rights but they do force landlords to putting deposits into special accounts that have legal protections for the tenant, and if said landlord tries to avoid it you can usually easily win back a multiple value of your deposit with little the landlord can do.

Landlords regularly take the piss with claiming exorbitant amounts for “damages” which is harder to contest, and many of us just accept a few deductions even knowing they will just pocket it.

we’ve joined two squads together, both full stack, but for app and web platforms. its fucking chaos

RISC-V is just about at pi3 levels of performance so it’s not really that good for end user stuff yet. Alibaba launched a new core recently that might improve things though.

On their servers? possibly. RISC-V is competitive when you stuff a bunch of cores into it and make it do basic server tasks that haven’t gotten more complex over the years. And in AI, you may just need a cheap CPU to orchestrate your GPUs/NPUs so anything will work there.

I think we’ll see m1+ levels of desktop performance on RISCV within the next 4 years though. trump will do wonders for the Chinese semiconductor industry.

and this is called being agile

It’s gonna happen I think.

Desktop ARM is great but it’s still locked behind like 2 vendors (Snapdragon and Apple) and has hardware more locked down than x86.

x86 is, well, x86.

RISC-V might be slower right now but China’s mega investment is going to force others to rush into the ISA to try and beat them to market. Give it 5 years and we’re gonna see a totally different landscape to now.

because the comic says it’s better, duh

the agile team one is too accurate lmao. 99% of agile in my experience is just waterfall with a kanban board

it’s the most mac-like (and Windows, it pulls a good medium)

copy into a word document. select all the {}; and set their colour to white. ur welcome
