I'm wondering at which point it would make sense to split the driver into multiple device family drivers instead of lumping it all together into a mess of unmaintainable abstractions.

My RPi 4 has been running Tailscale at home for some time, forwarding to my home network. Works great and very stable. I think somebody even compiled Tailscale to run natively on my Synology NAS.

In fact I think the government has all the rights to take all belongings after someone dies. After all the person earned it from society, not its descendants.

True but I think addressing those inconsistencies in the build system is doing it on the wrong level. Ideally this should happen outside the actual build and any dynamic configuration that is derived from the system environment should simpl

My unusual application of Docker here is no exception. Most software builds are needlessly complicated and fragile, especially Autoconf-based builds. Ironically, the worst configure scripts I’ve dealt with come from GNU projects. They wast

Completely agree that you can't compare Bazel and CMake directly, they are not on the same level. But for compiling C++ Bazel will have to compare itself to CMake, which is plain and simple the defacto standard. All the complex things

Might make sense if you use Go or any other language with a straightforward tooling landscape (compilers, package management etc.). That changes drastically if your codebase contains a lot of C++ and your SW model doesn't quite match t

Good point. Would still be possible with the threads being blocked in a read() but that would require signals and more logic in the threads, so a central multiplexing and coordinating thread seems like a cleaner solution.

Honest question: why go through the hassle of multiplexing waiting in a single thread only to dispatch to a thread per client anyway? Simply using blocking IO for the clients in those threads should be much simpler right?

What's a little confusing is that they are not testing the same versions of the software but (presumably) the distro default version. So these benchmarks are not useful to test kernel and lower level performance differences.

My guess: It is politically wanted to have graduates that will take any job because they are deep into debt with no chance of getting rid of it through bankruptcy. This pressure keeps wages down and "motivation" up.

It absolutely is, especially if you do C++ with it. So many bugs and missing features in the native rules and skylark api, it's not even close to a 1.0

Just opening the context menu of a song (to add it to the queue for example) now requires connectivity and does at least one round-trip to their servers. Unless you actually cut the connection (e.g. air plane mode), then it suddenly works f

We have Ryzen 9 3900X workstations at work and I am using a 3950X at home. That's already a huge boost to compile times and they cost way less than the threadrippers

I would actually consider this a bug of the std library implementation. Would love to see a comparison between different implementations (libc++, libstdc++, MSVC)

It's fine, I'm not actively looking right now (I really like the website and your manual approach though). I'm just wondering wether non-web dev jobs don't exist anymore or are just out of fashion/not mentioned that
