This. Reminds me of Casey Muratori warning people to not trust benchmarks made by random people on the internet. There’s absolutely no way Tauri apps take 25s to launch. Source: I’ve played with Tauri on Linux. This is an order of magnitude

Good point, thanks for the insight!

I responded "This is not true" to a sibling comment about this same topic, but about "shared libraries", which is the opposite problem (multiple programs could load the same shared library and try to interact). This is a

This is not true. Different programs on the same system that interoperate and use different versions of the same shared library can absolutely cause issues. For a trivial change to glibc, it won't cause issues. But there's a lot o

This. Honestly, their issue based on Zed’s issue tracker is likely with NVIDIA drivers inconsistencies, which ironically is due to the closed source nature of NVIDIA drivers (its workarounds all the way down bringing pain to app and driver

You should report an issue with your specs, not just say “other applications don’t have this problem” — especially as a Linux user. For one, not all applications are GPU accelerated. Two, their UX may need to be improved for a specific hard

This is a philosophical article, not clickbait.

Yes. Static pages can include frontend JavaScript, including WebAssembly + Pyodide. You'll likely just have a build step that produces the actual JavaScript bundle you'll be serving statically. As for obsfucation, you could precom

False, you said: > only the richest companies getting exemptions …when the reality is that certain classes of goods were exempted. You reiterated the clickbaity headline. Products like the Librem phone have exceptions. Is Purism one of t

Because while you might agree with the current regime, laws, etc, and they may not be abusing their all knowing powers, allowing government (or any corporation) such power means they can change the rules, for example in an authoritarian dir

99.9999999% sure that was their point? Why else would they bring up that particular work?

This looks like the opposite -- accessing a plan9 system from a web browser?

Yes. It’s the same reason AppImage could work — if the licensing allows for the all libraries to be included in the image, because the Linux syscall interface is generally stable. “We do not break userspace”

Not sure why you are downvoted but I’m curious why. I appreciated this tidbit, thanks.

You have never been encouraged to use Bixby or any other Samsung app? Let’s define “ad”.

I’m one of them. I saw demos at _last year’s_ WWDC that I’ve been excited to get. And now with this announcement I don’t think that will happen before this year’s event.

Same, would love that. TinyGrad’s driver would be pretty awful to use if it would even work since I think it would prevent using the GPU simultaneously, though I may be wrong there. Otherwise as it stands the 128 GB configuration seems pret

Wait, so I’d have to use ROCm for compute? That sucks. I’ve had better luck with Intel’s drivers for their first series of dGPU’s. If this works with tinygrad’s AMD driver, that would then interest me.

Just talk at them until they talk with you. Works better than you would think, however crazy you seem at first.

To clarify this further, pickle was more common ~10+ years ago I’d say? Hence the “historically” It wasn’t designed (well enough?) to be read safely so malware or other arbitrary data could be injected into models (to compromise the machine

True. Either way, Umami's been using `yarn` since 2020, before that release of NPM (although for what reason at that time, I don't know). Being bad thereby creating desirable competition has lasting effects. We could get into when

Seems like it’s because they’re using the resolutions feature to override a dependency resolution. The alternative would be forking at least 1 package, all the way down to the dependency, to fix the version. There’s a reason there’s 3 popul

People I know who are iOS developers say differently. The Swift language itself is bloated? Compared to what? Golang?

So it compiles to a single executable that I can send to someone who isn’t on Nix? Because if I wanted a portable shell script, I’d just write shell and check if something is executable in my path. This just looks like Nix-only stuff that e

Countries like China, where TikTok is from, already ban US social media. The other countries you’re presumably thinking of are our allies and typically our propaganda aligns with their (governments’) interests. China’s interests do not.

I find it really straightforward until lifetimes are involved. I used Rust for a few weeks last January.

Regardless if they all have, that's irrelevant to the point being argued. The articles themselves are not obscene.

Not true, they bought the growing competition -- in the case of Instagram, digital crack cocaine.
