I mean, I’ve blocked the news community. Too much political bullshit.

These aren't "feel good" stories, they're "we live in hell" stories. in c/[email protected]

It’s a school?? Who are the shareholders?

The fact that a school has to be pulling this kind of stuff…

Outside of programming circles I’ve been surprised how little people know what != means.

I keep salt and sugar in identical bottles. A mistake was bound to happen, and it just did. in c/[email protected]

I would do a cool S.

Rust project startup kit in c/programmer_humor

[–] dukk 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No problem! Actually, System76 is currently working on rewriting the COSMIC desktop in Rust (or really, just writing a new DE in Rust). It’s a pretty ambitious project that should hopefully get released some time this year. I wouldn’t be surprised if the lead redox dev was working on it too: low-level Rust knowledge is exactly what they need.

Perhaps not all 24 million people will cash out? IDK.

I use a WM btw in c/[email protected]

It’s surprisingly possible (and easy) too… a little bit of tinkering with X11’s compositor API would probably do the trick.

IDK about Wayland tho :/

Linux community throught history in c/[email protected]

LMDE and PopOS are my consistent recommendations to newcomers. If one doesn’t work, the other will.

I love how simple and small scale splitting an atom sounds. Then you get to doing it…

Well, think microkernels as the bare minimum. They give you just enough to write your own OS on top of that: only the bare essentials run in kernel space, whilst everything else runs in user space and has to communicate with the kernel. Compare this to a monolithic kernel, like the Linux kernel: here, the whole operating system is run in kernel space, which means that data doesn’t need to be moved between user and kernel space: this makes the OS faster, but at the cost of modularity. Redox doesn’t use the Linux kernel, it uses its own microkernel written in Rust.

Edit: A good example would be driver. In a microkernel, these run separately from the kernel and interact with it when needed. In a monolithic kernel, these drivers would be included in the kernel itself. They both have their pros and cons: if you’re interested, feel free to look it up.
