Since it's written in Go, you might want to reach out to the Fedora Go SIG and see if they can help you. :)

Yes, but unsurprisingly most people don't understand that distinction well enough.

There's a mindset difference. People are more willing to pay to reduce inconvenience for customers there, whereas here the inconvenience to the merchant sometimes matters more.

I remember a few American restaurants experimenting with this when I was a kid. I remember the experience being a little inconsistent. I imagine the feedback wasn't particularly good.

It's not the first. It's not even the first in Europe: the first was the UK, Belgium and Switzerland came after. There are and have been others around the world throughout history too: the CSA, the first USA, the USSR, the UAE, an

The "MIPS Open" program never launched. MIPS itself eventually pivoted to RISC-V, and is now owned by Globalfoundries. I don't think the j-core effort is still active? It would be interesting to see it continue, though.

OpenSPARC is under the GPL, which is probably why it didn't go anywhere directly . OpenPOWER is under permissive creative commons licenses, and people are iterating on the open source cores released by them. But the arrangement with e

It's not obscure. The reason is because a whole class of racist laws use the term. Nobody has seriously tried to reclaim the term, so it is stuck with the connotation it had developed a hundred years ago.

PowerPC at least still has a living ecosystem, even from the bootloader level. GRUB can boot from an OpenFirmware system. There's also yaboot if you hate yourself. ;) I would personally love to see more Power Systems based projects. Ev

I'll also point out that we've always had better starting points for open source high performance cores. SPARC and POWER both have open ISAs and open-source cores with useful performance. The UltraSPARC T1 and T2 processors were o

There are 386 and 486 open source reimplementations in Verilog (see z386 and z486). As far as I know, existing commercial 386/486 chips still manufactured (yes they exist!) are descendants of Cyrix work, not Intel or AMD. Consequently,

We aren't the only ones, but we are the loudest about it, because erasure sucks.

No, the git test suite is about testing the git codebase. If you want something like that, you need a conformance suite, which does not exist for git.

It probably would have been less bad if he had chosen MPL-2.0 or LGPL-2.1-or-later. But he chose MIT, which cuts at the core of the intent of licensing the project with a share-alike license.

There's a Generated-by trailer for that sort of thing.

And for comparison, today you can do an economy round-trip flight with Delta Air Lines for roughly $1.6k (SEA-HND). A Delta One flight is roughly $8.5k. That's the apples-to-apples comparison. Deregulation also allowed international ca

The interstate system only succeeded because the federal government took the very rare step of steamrolling all the states and individual landowners. It was done in service of putting people to work and stimulating the economy. But it was

It's rarely that simple. The question has to be asked "who owns the land?" because usually the rail lines get to belong to who owns the land, even if someone else builds them. The interstate automobile road system got built t

Apple doesn't make regional variants of the phone, so all models have the technology built-in, even if it's disabled by default. Android phones outside of Japan lack Suica support.

The question to ask is "who owns the rail lines?". That matters for having a good rail system. It's basically the same problem for why the US doesn't have fiber internet available everywhere, too.

China also has nationalized rail systems. The major reason for the failure in the US is that the rail lines are not publicly owned. The reason the rail systems never got upgraded and Amtrak couldn't deploy high speed rail everywhere (d

Yes, that is true, but in practice nobody has ever done that. And the material complexity of offering that mode is higher than just dynamically linking the library. Also, modern compilers make this method much harder to use. It is much ha

RHEL 10 lacks 32-bit x86 packages, so it goes past that date. RHEL 9 support ends before that date.

It's pretty much rpm-ostree. Nobody bothered to make those workflows performant, so if you need to apply updates separately, it's going to suck. The OSTree download can be fast if you have a fast connection to the Fedora server, b

I think it's also worth noting that the Dockerfile format is still driven by Docker, and there have been zero extensions to the format by Podman folks, so Containerfile==Dockerfile.

Microsoft has effectively ended support for the self-hosted versions of the groupware stack. So between Microsoft and Google (since both are SaaS), I would pick Google. Especially as I've had to administer both solutions before, and I

SUSE used Teams for years (particularly under Melissa Di Donato, who made everyone use it). I used to participate in some of the community project meetings that wound up being on Teams because it was the approved solution they could use. It
