  • Trump Says Maduro Captured After US Airstrikes Hit Venezuela

    Jump

  • You have got it backwards. The correct analogy would be if the Confederacy won the Civil War by conquering all of the states in the Union except for Rhode Island, but then later claimed that it was actually Rhode Island that was the separatist group and demanded that everyone in the world agree with this.

  • Haiku gets accelerated NVIDIA graphics driver

    Jump

  • 2026 will finally be the year of the Haiku desktop!

  • ReactOS Starts 2026 With Another "Major Step" Toward Windows NT6 Compatibility

    Jump

  • I wonder what the fine folk of the Phoronix comment section have to say about this!

    Let's check out comment #2:

    Does anyone still care, besides maybe Putin? [emphasis mine]

  • LLMS Are Not Fun

    Jump

  • The researchers in the academic field of machine learning who came up with LLMs are certainly aware of their limitations and are exploring other possibilities, but unfortunately what happened in industry is that people noticed that one particular approach was good enough to look impressive and then everyone jumped on that bandwagon.

  • Locked

    TIL Russian students are being presented with an ultra-nationalist curriculum, full of militarism and hatred toward Ukraine. 'Mr Nobody Against Putin'

    Jump

  • Hey, now, there are a lot of perfectly good people in the southernmost tip of Chile who do not deserve Russians springing up from the ground!

  • X.Org IMAKE Updated For Those Not Yet Transitioned To Autoconf/Automake Or Meson

    Jump

  • The impression that I got from this article is that even the author of imake feels the same way, and is only maintaining it out of consideration for legacy software still using it.

  • X.Org IMAKE Updated For Those Not Yet Transitioned To Autoconf/Automake Or Meson

    Jump

  • Who would have thought that there would be a context in which GNU Autoconf and Automake were considered the modern way to build software?

  • Starship Roles Arranged by Authority

    Jump

  • The word "mutiny" just means that an insurrection took place; it does not imply success or failure. A 1-person mutiny is still a mutiny, even if the odds of success are minimal.

  • Starship Roles Arranged by Authority

    Jump

  • Sure, but the point is that not all of the officers are necessarily mutineers themselves.

  • Canadians crossing U.S. land borders will now be photographed | National

    Jump

  • I concur, photographic information is already standard for international travel, so this is really not a big deal. I am way more concerned about things like proposed changes to require visitors to list their last five years of social media accounts.

  • base 10

    Jump

  • My species uses e as its base because that is proven to be mathematically optimal. In our number system, humans use base 2.3025850... (but written entirely as powers of e using our far superior elegant notation, of course!)

  • folders is inherently a bad idea

    Jump

  • No, scratch that. Even black holes radiate out the information they receive. M-Files doesn’t.

    That is an amazing zinger!

  • 44% Of GNOME Core Apps Are Written In C, 13% In JavaScript & 10% In Rust

    Jump

  • I was also a bit surprised to see that Vala is so widely adopted, but it is a very natural fit when you consider that it was specifically designed to use GObject as its OOP implementation, making it essentially a "native" speaker in GNOME.

  • If it makes you feel better you could stuff all of your savings under a mattress?

  • Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else?

    Jump

  • No, you have it backwards. If the total pot for athletes is considerably smaller than the total pot for medical professionals, than redistributing it amongst medical professionals would not significantly increase their individual incomes because there are so many of them that each would only get a small share of it.

  • Don't be a fool, use the proper tool.

    Jump

  • Nah, presumably the developer already has an operating system and just needs a text editor.

  • What popular belief do you disagree with?

    Jump

  • You might be right, but you don't actually know that for certain. If your consciousness emerged from nothingness once, there's no reason why it could not do so again (albeit probably in a completely unrecognizable form).

    Personally, I am agnostic as to whether reincarnation is a thing or not, but honestly, when taking the numbers into account, oblivion sounds like a much better deal than spending my next billion lifetimes as a bug that lasts for only a brief time before being eaten in one of countless agonizing ways. (There is a reason why the Eastern religions that believe in reincarnation tend to emphasize that the ultimate goal is to escape it.)
