  • BREAKING NEWS: GNOME developer cannot accept people doing things differently than the GNOME team. More at eleven.

  • MicroQuickJS is a JavaScript engine targetted at embedded systems. It compiles and runs JavaScript programs using as little as 10 kB of RAM.

  • JavaScript doesn't have a few bad decisions baked into it, it's an absolute minefield. It was made for one thing and one thing only: making simple scripts for web pages. Anything beyond that and it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain. I honesty have no idea why devs are so hellbent on using it everywhere. Putting such an unreliable dynamic language, with absolutely no safety guards when it comes to type checking and serialization, on bare metal hardware is not something I'd ever consider in good conscience. Maybe it could be used for some IoT devices, but that's it, definitely not for something that interfaces with machinery or anything more than something like a display. TinyGo sounds like an infinitely better pick if someone wants to use a garbage collected language on an embedded device.

  • Impressive, but we should stop trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. If there's one thing the world doesn't need is JavaScript in more places.

  • Is it normal to be able to shut your nose from within?

    Jump

  • No but I can close the air duct just above my soft palate (not really sure what that part is called), so effectively I can't breathe through my nose but if I were to go underwater water would still get in, if that makes any sense. I'm not sure if this is common. I know that that part is supposed to close automatically while swallowing to prevent food from going up in the nasal cavity, but idk how common it is to be able to control it separately. It's handy to avoid smells without using my hands though :)

  • They either forgot because they didn't think much of it since they weren't completely consumed by right-wing propaganda, aren't actual fans of the genre, or simply justify it by saying those characters aren't human. Either way it's a dumb argument on their part.

  • Ubuntu Will Replace GNU Core Utilities With Rust

    Jump

  • As long as two binaries are compiled with the same version of the Rust compiler, they are ABI compatible. Even if the compiler version differs, I've found that changes to the ABI are fairly uncommon. Furthermore, anything exposed through the C ABI is stable, so the problem can be circumvented if needed. It's not the most ergonomic solution, admittedly, but with some compromises dynamic linking is perfectly feasible.

  • Trump is coming for your poppers: Major producer closes amid FDA crackdown

    Jump

  • Of course not that's just BS, they just happen to be popular in the same circles. Correlation isn't causation and all that.

    I'm talking about the possible burns from skin contact, dangerously low blood pressure when mixed with almost anything else, and the few reports of eye damage found in users of the isopropyl nitrate variant.(Just going from what I've read, might very well be fear mongering for all I know, never used them)

    Now I'm not saying they should be banned or anything, they can be a great tool if used correctly from what I've heard, but proper studies and regulations would go a long way towards making them safer. Not that it's gonna happen with the current administration, but that's my two cents on the matter for what it's worth.

  • Ubuntu Will Replace GNU Core Utilities With Rust

    Jump

  • No that's the issue: it's too permissive. It allows corporations or individuals to redistribute and modify the code as closed source, which isn't desirable for this kind of project.

  • Ubuntu Will Replace GNU Core Utilities With Rust

    Jump

  • Yeah the licensing is a bit worrying, but it's not a language issue.

  • Ubuntu Will Replace GNU Core Utilities With Rust

    Jump

  • No, it started as a Mozilla project; it's been independent for a long time now.If anything I expect Mozilla to be among the smaller contributors nowadays from a purely monetary standpoint.

    Windows doesn't "just work"

    Jump

  • Right, that's exactly my point. There's no argument to be made about Linux "not being ready" in terms of hardware support because in the worst case scenario it's not any worse than Windows, and those worst case scenarios are few and far between.

    Now, in terms of software parity, sure. There's quite a bit of stuff that won't run on Wine yet and doesn't have alternatives, but this discussion was purely about hardware support and that's solid nowadays.

  • Powerful Speeches From Trans Dems Flip 29 Republicans, Anti-Trans Bills Die In Montana

    Jump

  • Oh what do you know? It's almost as if representation in government has a purpose! Not so easy to target people when they're not just a faceless boogeyman now is it?

    Love to see it, we need more of this everywhere.

    Windows doesn't "just work"

    Jump

  • I've found it to be just the opposite. I've had so many more issues on Ubuntu and Debian derivatives than any other distro out there. Both in terms of hardware support and stability, ironically.

    Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better, otherwise Windows would be good.

    • apt is atrocious and will nuke your system every once in a while if you're not careful when installing even the most trivial packages.
    • Snaps are objectively worse than any other packaging format.
    • The software is never up to date and you have to go scavenge for drivers and updated kernels otherwise stuff is just broken.

    There are much greener pastures out there, even if a little more niche.Arch if for tinkerers, no doubt, but Fedora is just as simple to use as Ubuntu. The support is great since it's backed by Red Hat and has a sizeable following. I never had issues finding what I was looking for. The only caveat is that it's for newer hardware; not cutting edge mind you, but it may not be the best choice for a 2009 laptop. Anything that's at most 10 years old though I'd expect to just work honestly, maybe with minimal tinkering.
