People will never learn, will they? You give them AP and they go for the Jack Dorsey clone. Amazing

If this leads to CUDA being open sourced or being opened up so that a common layer can be built on top, that would be amazing...

Did M$ force more users to install windows 11 or something? What's going on?

Btw, can somebody try and fit that curve to project when it hits 20% or something? That looks like an exponential function.

Nothing to do with being Chinese. Amazon is going to brick some of their devices that play music in cars IIRC. There are western companies that made pace makers who closed source their communication protocols, went bust, and now the pace makers are in patients who have no way to service them.

Opensourcing after deprecation should be written into law.

Because they were built following the model of the western world which wasn't conceived for their climate. Not a surprise.

Ah shit... I always assumed it was just a nix timestamp. What's the use of storing the timezone? :/

Not really something I'd buy, honestly. Looks like they are targeting the wealthy software engineer segment. Is 1:1 the perfect ratio for coding?

Going from jquery to angular was a world of change. But it was relatively simple and fun to write SPAs. But then webpack and react came along... those two are among the most complex JS projects I know of.

Their internal code is nowhere near clean and the concepts neither. They generate immense webpages that are shiny and all but it's such a large mishmash and keeping track of state with the state manager is horrible.

Also debugging those two projects... Both have convinced me to step away from JS. It's just too much complexity.

People figuratively told me to shut up about the Linux Foundation's less than meager funding of the linux kernel (~2%), but this is exactly what happens because of it. It's stuck in the 90s because a few oldies earned well enough to be able to dedicate their time to it. Young blood doesn't have time nor the funds to fight an uphill battle against the greybeards.

Imagine if the situation were reversed and the Linux Foundation spent 98% of its 268M on the Linux Kernel. Imagine the amount of developers that would be fighting to get an internship there and make a career as a kernel dev/maintainer/technical writer/manager/whatever... Rust, better hardware support, better code coverage, modern contribution methods (not a damn mailing list), CI/CD, automated testing, better fuzzing, bounties, and so much more would be possible. Instead they spent...20% or something on AI.

KDE needs to copy what Thunderbird did. Thunderbird marketed the crap out of their product and were present on all social media, posted frequent updates, made videos about their new features, and are in general very loud about it. KDE has some random devs posting infrequent updates and aren't even recogniseable as belonging to the foundation.

I donate, but I can see how many people have no clue they are even using KDE nor how to donate to it.

Some games have a better story and visuals that movies these days... Watching playthroughs is at times more interesting than watching series.

Hotter conditions prevent two tiny organisms working together for mutual benefit, new research shows.

University of Exeter scientists studied a single-celled organism (Paramecium bursaria) which can absorb and host algae (Chlorella spp). This pairing is common in freshwater worldwide, and their symbiotic relationship provides benefits including trading of nutrients and protection for the algae.

But when scientists made the water 5°C warmer, the partnership stopped working—and the results suggest the algae may even become parasitic.

 

I tried accessing [email protected] from programming.dev and there's nothing there, but https://rss.ponder.cat/c/nytimes sure has a bunch.

Is there another federation issue in lemmy again?

ISPs are forced to block DNS request to certain hosts, they also monitor your DNS requests, and sometimes aren't updated that or are slow.

Which DNS servers do you use or would recommend to others?

 

Caused by security firm CrowdStrike that issued an update.

 

I just finished watching Why Google Stores Billions of Lines of Code in a Single Repository and honestly, while it looks intriguing, it also looks horrible.

I'm having trouble understanding what it is and how to use it. The project website seems to be filled with buzzwords but no actual usecase.

The name hints at a being a DEX, but that doesn't seem to be it. They talk about banking for everyone, but they don't have a coin. What exactly is it and how can one use it? Is it usable by laymen?

Maybe @[email protected] can answer or anybody else who understands it...
