Literally the first sentence: A dozen draft proposals, which still need to be approved by the bloc's 27 member states and the EU parliament, were announced on Wednesday. So not even approved by the member states yet :/

I don't disagree, the past years have made me cynical about all big EU proposals :( But time and time again it has shown that proposals that actually would change things get watered down hard or shut down completely

I'm all for thinking and acting big on big issues. In my opinion however the EU as is is hopelessly underpowered to effectively address big issues. They just don't have the mandate to actually get all 27 states to act as one. The

Actually this track-ability is what is keeping me from subscribing to news websites. I'd easily pay a few bucks to them for the privilege, but I don't want to log-in or identify myself every time I read an article.

This is what is keeping me from switching. Apple, if anyone is listening: allow a full Firefox browser on the iphone and I will switch in a heart beat

Please just bring back pre-Fenix Android Firefox together with performance improvements. There are still only a hand few of addons supported, lot's of bugs that remain unfixed. This is not the time for another redesign

Not just in the US. In Germany economic-liberal politicians keep pushing for privatized infrastructure all the time, arguing it would be better managed by a private company. This goes as far as privatizing toll collection on public streets.

The parent proposed gating for warnings in the CI, not (by default) on the developer build. I completely agree with this, as a dev I want to see warnings but I don't always want to have everything perfect from the start. The famous exa

Yes. This is what you get when incompetent officials jump on any offered solution that promises to make their awful track record of "digitalization" projects look better. Of course without listening to actual experts and instead l

I have a list of packages that can be safely removed from modern Samsung phones (I'm not missing anything at least, updates still work). Email me at <my_profile_name>@imap.cc if you're interested

I would pay good money for a ready to use distribution/setup that supports this incl. making sure it continues to work after updates

Samsung S10e has both. Best smartphone I ever owned (once you got rid of all the crapware using ADB).

The fact that MS did not add mouse yoke to the game, and despite the backlash still hasn't done so (allegedly to push the sale of new flying gear) makes me so sad. Using the mouse for steering is absolutely superior to a keyboard and c

C++ has way to many failure modes regarding linking and generally consuming libraries (ABI issues, build system agnosticity). Conan addresses those compatibility issues in a holistic way through package ids, which are basically hashes over

by simfoo 6y ago
In my opinion using Conan to distribute your packages really only makes sense if - you are a very popular library, in which case you should be in the Conan Center repository - you are in a controlled environment (company) where you host you

When a dependency requires to be built with a certain toolchain, Conan can't do anything about it. At best it really only surfaces a problem that might be hidden if you were just be using pre-made builds.

Love Conan, the team behind it at JFrog is nothing short of amazing. Just awesome people who love what they are doing. However I'd recommend against using the "legacy" CMake generator and instead go for the cmake_find_package

Which affect the OS mostly and not individual apps. Funnily enough OS updates are usually not automatic. Which I think is a good thing because vendors keep mixing them with "feature updates" which end up making things worse (looki

Exactly that. There needs to be a mandated federation protocol for instant messenger apps that have lets say > 10 million user in the EU.

I see no numbers or even just the command that was run exactly. So maybe wait until someone runs the benchmark in a reproducible way?

Most likely the CMake build is simply building more code than Bazel is. I am 100% sure that this is not comparing apples to apples
