Were these guys the OG vibe coders? It looks like they were allowing people to build mobile apps using AI since 2016!

Why wasn't free threading a new version of python? Having everything suddenly going from thread safe to C level insecurity is a major change, not just a small feature update. In fact, if they had to redactor the interpreter to support it, that sounds like even more of a reason to make it a major version update. Doesn't python follow semver?

Same. I'm thinking of cancelling my subscription and just sticking with what works. I'm not sure I had a really useful update in a while.

What are you doing to get into dependency hell? Never had that problem. Are you running "pip install" in your venv at will?

Yeah, that also on them for allowing endless trials. Some people are ruthless and you must adapt to that. If you don't, you can't cry foul. It really isn't that difficult to say "no" or add a clause that the trial is once only and any lying to get multiple will lead to a ban and possibly monetary consequences.

Right now, the jetbrains IDEs are my favourite because they are proper IDEs, not some editor with a bunch of scripts in a trenchcoat pretending to be an editor. But the company is starting to lose touch with its customers: developers who want an IDE for productivity, not a VS Code lookalike. It's like the company is finally being taken over by managers who don't know lick about development and it's starting to show (at least to me).

Now, I'm on the market for a new editor and even willing to pay, even though I'd prefer paying for an open source IDE. Right now, Zed is looking interesting. The only thing that bothers me is how loud people were about it. Hype destroys my faith in stuff as it's often just good marketing. Another thing that bugged me is that when they started, they were "Mac first, Linux maybe". But now that the hype has died down, there's much less "omg, zed is the new editor and it will be better anything else" type posts, and it supposedly works on Linux, I can give it a try.

Execs that float this shit can suck it. If they don't want to hire, don't let them saddle you with more work. I work my hours, do what I can and clock out. If they ask for more, I tell them what I'm working on, how much it takes, and when their stuff will be able to get slotted in. They can try and squeeze more out of you, but only if you let them. Don't let them.

They can fire you and try to hire a sucker who will - or keep running through suckers that do, but it won't do their company nor their clients good, at least not in the long term. But these people are only around for the short term gains.

Why do people always have to use some freemium offering when there's an opensource, self-hosted or already hosted variant out there? I don't get it. Just riding the wave I guess.

It would've been amazing to have them use Linux and develop that instead. Maybe mailinglists were too slow for them or there's a completely different reason for not picking it. Hopefully someday the architects will be interviewed to reveal the reasons.

At least this will bring competition, but app devs will be taking the short end of this. Yet another OS to support.

I honestly thought this was going to be a post about how they finally are going to trademark nix and the logo. Can they even trademark it? My feeling is that "nix" is just too ambiguous a term to trademark.

It allows adding github and gitlab to the bridge, but I don't get what it does. Anybody know?

 

What's going on @[email protected]? Have you gone back to github?

Edit link to forgejo repo: https://git.omaps.dev/organicmaps/organicmaps

Edit2: The project was forked https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps

 

A distributed, content-addressed filesystem across the internet, not just in a home LAN, than can be mounted (fuse or whatever else), doesn't require storing data twice, has a reasonable API and acceptable documentation.

Does something like that exist?

 

Both seem to post similar memes and jokes. This community doesn't have a sidebar text to clarify what the community is nor when to post what stuff where, and it's not clear why the community exists.

 

The related ticket quickly became the most commented one in their ticketing system.

 

I left Github a while ago and have been relying on simple pre-push scripts in my workflow, but would like to be able to test PRs from others without putting my machine at risk. Besides codeberg and radicle (neither of which have reliable CI), I also have a build machine, where I could run CI jobs, however it is important that the CI jobs can also run locally so that external people do not require access to the build machine.

Is there a CI that can do those things (run locally and remotely)?

Why do so many games rely on client-side anti cheat and stuff like kernel level anti-cheat?

The Linux foundation announced "neonophos", but Eurostack has been around for a while. Why do these two exist separately and not together?

 

I configured steam to open on a separate desktop using window rules, but it also grabs the attention and plasma will automatically switch to the desktop it opened to. Is there a way to stop that from happening?

Steam opens 3 windows, so switching to another desktop will be reverted 3 times.

I've read multiple times that CUDA dominates, mostly because NVIDIA dominates. Rocm is the AMD equivalent, but OpenCL also exists. From my understanding, these are technologies used to program graphics cards - always thought that shaders were used for that.

There is a huge gap in my knowledge and understanding about this, so I'd appreciate somebody laying this out for me. I could ask an LLM and be misguided, but I'd rather not 🤣
