I write software (C++) for a living.

anti-witchhunt, see https://stallmansupport.org/

  • Sudo maintainer, handling utility for more than 30 years, is looking for support

    Jump

  • There has been the "4opens" criteria, that has been more on point than free/libre/open source.

    In hindsight, defeating corporate and AI piggery might have needed single-maintainer closed source with open protocols. Software components? Maybe it would have led to the compound document model instead of the app model, architecturally enforcing openness.

    Isn't it actually of the people on whose code the LLM was trained on?

  • PoC - Use Matrix instead of emails for logins

    Jump

  • Linus Torvalds tries vibe coding

    Jump

  • I think it is intellectual laziness to do Python just for its ecosystem when saner options abound.

  • Good, Fast, Cheap: Pick 3 or Get None

    Jump

  • hmm. Are you atleast getting credit for fixing all that?

  • LLMs defacto seem resource guzzlers, and are continuously overloading websites.

  • Zig: Migrating from GitHub to Codeberg

    Jump

  • This is great. Overdue if you consider the values they espouse. Quite feasible for a compiler project to ignore the network effects of Github. Is their Discord usage next :-)

  • Programming peaked

    Jump

  • There is https://tauri.app/ coming up to let Electron app developers debloat their offerings.

  • Other ways of curating than following communities

    Jump

  • Thanks. I'd not want to add a 3rd thing, RSS, into the mix, so following from Mastodon might be a workaround. Ideally, I would "follow" in Lemmy itself!

  • Other ways of curating than following communities

    Jump

  • True, I am looking for "get threads boosted by this account". If Mastodon did threads well, I would have stayed on it. I wouldn't care for it at all if I could also "follow" accounts on Lemmy (and the accounts that matter were on Lemmy).

  • Even stock/vanilla Emacs is too slow

    Jump

  • BTW, I liked the idea on emacs-devel about PGO/FDO experiments. And, with a short PGO Emacs session and compiling Emacs with that profile, I see almost all the responsiveness issues disappear. What is left are slow indent-region and slow file opening, which seem unrelated to UI responsiveness.

    Are there automated UI test runners? Just a matter of recording macros, or even writing out elisp, I guess. Having targeted tests and using them for PGO/FDO to do Emacs releases seems useful.

    Jump

  • Do try Delta Chat, and Sourcehut if you have more time. They use e-mail as a transport very well.

  • Let's Make Sure Github Doesn't Become the only Option - Edward Loveall

    Jump

  • I believe relying on Github for an account, rather than on a not-yet-existing code commons organization, is the trouble. E-mail accounts are used left and right, and Sourcehut apparently makes it easy to collaborate on code via e-mail. Delta Chat even makes chat and webapps work over e-mail!

  • Nepali copypasta (received today but.already outdated!)

    Jump

  • India likely won't - we were all one entity for thousands of years and share a lot of culture - but it will want to counteract whatever China does.

  • I'm getting started with functional programming, which language would you recommend?

    Jump

  • My ₹1. It may depend on what you plan to write in it (for fun). The BEAM sounds great for long-running processes, but not as much for point tools; Erlang and co supposedly run slower than Python, which isn't fast either.

    My other ₹ ;-) if you stick to the BEAM: OCaml sort of runs on it, as there is the Caramel project to replicate it (https://caramel.run/). One of the Erlang creators also ported Prolog to the BEAM (erlog), as well as Lua (erlua) and Lisp (LFE). Elixir is probably great, as it is inspired by Ruby (I found Ruby very pleasant, other languages have so much semantic noise).

    Freebie! The BEAM inspired an inspirational design for parallel programming, the Pony language. I am somewhat sad development slowed down, it is a Rust killer.

  • India becomes largest supplier of diesel fuel to Ukraine. Slovakia in second place

    Jump

  • Passively, as many sides as any other country. But nothing actively, like provoking or waging war on other countries.

  • Car rides and hand holding: Putin, Modi and Xi send Trump a pointed message

    Jump

  • Its all politicians blowing government winds in their own sails. The 2 companies minting money from ethanol blending are headed by sons of a minister.

  • Modi says Russia and India stand together even in difficult times

    Jump

  • Just like Europe doesn't have much choice in natural gas supply from Russia, India too doesn't. The US has always propped up Pakistan, their misadventure in Afghanistan ended with pushing them into China's arms which already has Pakistan, Myanmar etc. in its pocket, and Ukraine supplies Pakistan with modern weaponry.

  • "Europe stays silent on continuing to buy natural gas from Russia".
