I meant alternatives to connecting your TV directly to the internet. As in "why would you ever connect your TV to the internet?" is a stupid question - "because I want to watch things on the internet." And it's not

The alternative is inconvenient and more expensive. And most people simply don't care.

This is why solfege aka "movable/relative do" is better than chromatic naming for theory. Because "a fifth of what?" is trivial - its the fifth named pitch relative to another named pitch. And almost all modern musi

This is a gripe of mine, and I will admit it is weak. Changing a segfault to a panic with a stack trace is an improvement in developer experience. It does not make better software. The advantage of automatic strategies to mitigate memory sa

Classic latency vs throughput problem. 10s of GB/s of disk bandwidth doesn't help when my problem is serialized durable writes.

For stuff like niche value optimization sure. For practical arithmetic code, nah. Like with this bug, all that changed is that garbage data in gives the user an error that they tried to process garbage data. Adding a new type doesn't m

I mean, a lot of us have paid GitHub a lot of money for CI on private repos. And when GitHub themselves encourages the insane behavior of vibe coders and agents instead of just charging or rate limiting access of bots, it's hard to giv

Something that frustrates me about that discourse is that people argue about the mere existence of dependencies but all 'supply chain' (1) attacks are issues over when dependencies change . Dynamic systems are harder to reason

A human being is not capable of being a passive question answering oracle. All humans have free will, intent, and bias in what questions they answer and how they answer it. Again, if your analogy requires me to treat a human being and a mac

I don't disagree that the loader and the libc should be decoupled, but it's not as simple a split as you're making it out to be. The reason they're tightly coupled is because there needs to be a bridge between Sys-V ELF

Any analogy that requires me to treat a machine as I would a conscious human is immediately invalid. The machine is not a person and has no intent or free will, like a human does.

I don't think a firm of people whose minds are weak to coercion experiencing shared psychosis caused by their text predictor models is AI "taking over" that firm.

Unless you use musl-gcc which is a proper GCC frontend with musl libc sysroot. The compiler is indeed (too) tightly coupled to its sysroot but linux is not special here. If anything interacts with the CRT it needs to know which CRT to use.

Why? If you compile your program against an older glibc it will run on newer glibc. glibc is the loader.

by duped 29d ago
That's what I'm saying though, glibc-linked binaries are forwards (but not backwards) compatible.

The interpreter/loader is glibc and a key part of bootstrapping an executable built against glibc is loading libc itself before continuing on to load the program. Versioning is a problem when distributing binaries linked against a ne

> all shared libraries depend on the specific glibc version to load them Not really, though. glibc uses symbol versions that are forward but not backward compatible. If you got an error that said "this program was built for a newer

I'm curious what the limiting factor is for "years not months" when building these fabs. DRAM is a commodity, there are only threeish major manufacturers, all have huge amounts of capital, multiple nations bend over backwards

Data centers directly led to my rates increasing over the last ~6 months where several came online locally without supply increasing. Natural gas prices also impacted it, but the data center buildout over the last year has not helped. That
