I don't fully believe this is purely an AI agent. Not after the moltbot incident raised how many humans where responsible for the posts on it. It just seems to be an attempt to make LLMs seems more autonomous then they actually are. It may have been written by an LLM, but I bet it was directed by a human trying to stir up drama.

This sounds all well and good. But I find in practice it never works very well. Too easy to gain a conflict which then messes with the stash (things remain in the stash and need to be dropped if you remember to). I always found it a pain to manage.

These days I just commit everything to master. When I start work on one feature to realise I need something else or to refactor something else first the I do that work, patch commit the changes, create a branch and checkout a new worktree, cherry pick the changes and push that branch to create a pull request. Then continue with the previous work while I wait to get the previous work merged.

Have a script which basically lets me do all that with a single command. And I never need to manage the stash. The only time I use the stash is with a rebase or pull etc with the --auto-stash flag. Which pops things off when it's done anyway. The stash only really works for very temporary stuff like that.

Basically they don't. It is the scheduling pinning background processes to a subset of the cores leaving others free for foreground tasks that is what helps.

The E cores just give a convenient way to split them. They could have done the same thing on intel macs or any other computer that does not have e cores.

The big benefit to e cores is they are more power efficient for tasks that don't need performance.

Someone once told me somewhere, that if I am trying to learn rust, I should learn C first, so that I know how to shoot myself in the foot, learning to avoid doing so

This is stupid advice. If you want to learn rust then learn rust.

So thats what I did (somewhat) for the past 6 months. I wrote some stuff in C

In that time you are no closer to learning rust. If you started with rust you would know it by now. Rust is not harder to learn then C. If anything C is harder to learn as it's compiler doesn't guide you at all.

You don't need to learn C to appreciate the borrow checker. I find beginners just accept whatever they are first taught. It is only really those that come from C the put up a bigger fight when learning rust.

And 6 months in a language without a borrow checker is not really long enough to learn the reasons why a borrow checker is useful. Not without a good guide that focuses on that. Which most c books don't. The best way to learn it is with rust that actually tells you when you mess up.

Yen also pointed out how such a court decision could help cut inflation in the US, too, "by dropping the price of a significant chunk of digital purchases by 30% overnight".

I bet most companies will just take that extra 30% as profit rather than giving it back to their users like proton has.

The devs from ΔV: Rings of Saturn give a completely different story. Yeah, most bug reports come from Linux - but platform specific ones a vanishingly rare: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/qeqn3b/despite_having_just_58_sales_over_38_of_bug/

Do you know how many of these 400 bug reports were actually platform-specific? 3. Literally only 3 things were problems that came out just on Linux. The rest of them were affecting everyone - the thing is, the Linux community is exceptionally well trained in reporting bugs. That is just the open-source way. This 5.8% of players found 38% of all the bugs that affected everyone. Just like having your own 700-person strong QA team. That was not 38% extra work for me, that was just free QA!

Not to mention the quality of the reports from the Linux users was vastly more details and useful to them.

They only need it to pass once, we need it to be rejected every single time.

Ads are effective, sadly. And why so much money is poured into them. I believe there are a few effects at play but the direct, see and ad and want to go buy it now is only one ofbhem that mostly only affects some people, or a lot of people occasionally.

I think a bigger effect is familiarity. You are far more likely to pick a product you are familiar with or have seen before over something younjave never heard of. Even if you have only ever seen it on advets and completely forgotten that you have ever seen ads for it. So even if you don't think they work on you they likely do without you realizing, at least enough of the time on enough people that make them worth while running.

Not surprising since car manufacturers lobbied to get them classed as light trucks to dodge the stricter emissions and safety regulations that apply to general cars. Then marketed the hell out of them as there is more profit to be made due to them not needing to comply with as many regulations. And now they are everywhere and are way worst than cars in almost every way.

Funny how yet again the capitalist class chooses profits over any other metric leading to s shittier world overall. Almost like there is a pattern happening in every industry...

Almost like having companies track everything you do is not a good idea and easily raises many false flags that are hard to correct.

This is a bad response to this news. There are many reasons why you might want to run tor on Windows and gatekeeping people out of tor because they are not on a chosen OS is a terribly way to get more people into thinking about privacy and security practices. Yes if you have the highest threat model you might want to avoid Windows as well, but not everyone needs absolute privacy/security for what they do. But why should you not have access to a tool that can help improve things even if you are not able to switch everything to a more private/secure alternative?

Really you should want everyone and anyone to run on tor, even if they don't need it, even if they are on windows. The more people using it the more secure it is for those that do require it.
