I'd argue that the availability of value types in C# gives it a leg up over languages like JavaScript for performance-sensitive games work. These days v8 and spidermonkey have incredible garbage collectors capable of incremental/parallel collection so people have been able to ship JS-based games on PC+Console, but when it comes to game scripting it's either languages with value types like C#/C++ or languages with more predictable garbage collection behavior and performance like Lua and Ruby (Ruby especially is popular with Japanese developers, likely because the language originated over there.)

C# being possible to mostly AOT compile (some exceptions) is also an advantage over JS for scripting since JS is not particularly efficient to run in an interpreter and many deployment targets don't allow you to JIT code at runtime. Languages like Lua have much better characteristics for those targets since they have high performance interpreters and cleaner language semantics.
My phone has a large amount of software written and installed by Google and by Xiaomi, both of which I absolutely don't trust; and it also has software which I do trust - but trust to spy on me, like Meta's WhatsApp...
I don't think that's enough. It's not mentioned in github repository README. I actually thought this is a brand new editor until someone pointed out this is a fork of Atom. I have browsed at least hundreds of open source repositories and this stands out as very strange.
The high-profile "cancellation" cases like Rowling make a lot of headlines, but people like her will be fine, they have money and support. The real danger is when ordinary people lose their jobs for standing up to HR and DEI bureaucracy, univeristy reseachers get canned because their results contradict dogma, Colorado bakers get sued into the ground for living by their religious convictions, construction workers get fired for making an "OK" hand sign, etc

Best example I can come up with is Colin Kaepernick. This isn't even a great example, he's doing pretty well in the scheme of things. It also isn't satisfying to most people, since it cuts against the political undertone of the question.
The Statistics of Microwave Popcorn
I toyed with trying to get it running on a Jeston Nano a couple of years ago. At the time, Raspbian was still 32 bit, JetPack was 64 bit, and running 32-bit Debian software on 64-bit Ubuntu was more of a pain than I wanted to deal with.

If it still ships with 64-bit Raspbian it might be worth another try, but I would not be at all surprised if it's somehow tied to the Pi.

It’s all dated. All of it. WebGL 1 is an outdated version of OpenGL (which is already an outdated API), WebGL 2 which was only just recently widely supported, brings a sort-of-less-outdated version of OpenGL (which, again, is itself outdated).

So we’re mostly waiting on WebGPU support so we can use a more modern-feeling API. But by the time WebGPU becomes both itself standardized and then widely supported, well, who knows if it will still be relevant…

The web just unfortunately lags behind while still emulating desktop. It would be fine if it did it’s own thing entirely so we wouldn’t have anything to compare to but writing 3D for web just feels like writing 3D for desktop 10 years ago. Plus performance and security… it’s way easier to just drop a .exe on itch.io or whatever.
I didn't think I was going to switch to Mastodon - I try to stay apolitical and I mostly used Twitter for news and influencers/disseminators with large followings who weren't moving.

And yet, here I am, primarily using Mastodon. Maybe it's just my server, but it's so much more _pleasant_ to be there. I don't need to wade through pages of insanity and irrelevant ads to get to the content I care about.

It's as if an annoying ambient buzzing slowly built up in my favorite coffee shop over a decade, and I never really noticed it, but now there's a crunchy alternative cafe next-door with fewer options which is blissfully silent. I just can't bring myself to go back.
Speaking with some of the devs, yes (asterisk). From what I understand, they are working out what they can open source while also retaining the ability to make money from the editor (mostly from the collaboration features)
The best alternative to twitter is no twitter. Let me explain. The feed and micro blogging format is a recipe for disaster. It's a combination of dopamine hits, crack addiction and rage inducing hyperbole. While there's merits to such a service, it's not clear they outweigh the costs of the format. When it's too easy for people to tweet their thoughts we end up in a disarray of thought leadership from mostly clueless people or those who elevate their significance based on number of followers.

In all honesty the best alternative to twitter is no twitter, until we find a better format for community discussion. Maybe it's private community chat, or similar, not sure. Maybe it's the end of public social. I think a lot of us are just looking for quieter smaller groups to share with.

A note on Mastodon. It's going closer in that direction of community specific servers but I think a better alternative would be if we could keep it private and cap group sizes. Right now it just feels like a replica of twitter segregated by topic or community. All the inherit bad behaviour still propagates because of the form factor.
You would be correct, which is why I don't own it anymore.

Doing it with Pi 4s would be interesting, but if I had to set up a sub-EUR 1000 cluster I'd go and grab 2-3 Celeron N5105 mini PCs, which would _in total_ have less than 90W consumption (although physically powering them would be a hassle - I was able to power all the Pi2s from a single Anker charger, which was great).
"My parrot swears so much! What the fuck can I do about that shit?"
Windows is slowly getting more walled. For example, it’s not possible anymore to freely define file type associations in the registry. Windows only enables the user to do so via a very limited UI, which for example doesn’t allow custom icons, command lines, or custom groupings or forwarding of associations. Someone reverse-engineered the protection to defeat it [1], but it’s still a pain. Another example is that it’s almost impossible to change the UI look in ways not intended by Microsoft (which are much more limited now than 20 years ago).

This should be potentially be solvable by using libgit2 instead of spawning a bunch of processes.

There has been ongoing work to integrate libgit2 into Magit, but I don't know it's current status, nor whether that integration has made it on to Windows yet.

Has little to do with US versus other countries. You're probably looking through framing lumber. Those don't need to be straight and are priced accordingly.

If you want stuff that's dimensionally accurate, you'll want to look at the furniture grade selection (which will be a relatively small area) or go to a lumber yard where there's more selection. The big box stores mostly focus on the lower grade lumber.
That's not quite true. The function call in question is

I think it's less misleading to say it has a generic image recognition function that supports goats, among many other recognition targets.

I'm writing this from a 2016 device that ticks all of the boxes of repairability the announced phone has. Without the GPL, bootloader unlock and a willing vendor (motorola), it's end of life would've been in 2019. Thanks to source availability the community gave it another lease up to today and it's a candidate for a 10+ year phone thanks to kernel mainlining.

While hardware repairability is a pillar, it's only one of two and nothing without "software repair". Sadly even the ecodesign draft proposal (in the EU) goes soft on this topic and criticism of it (by eeb.org) still thinks only in "update duration" instead of the real ingredient of sustainability: software sources and ability to build it.

> A good educational system should have three purposes: it should provide all who want to learn with access to available resources at any time in their lives; empower all who want to share what they know to find those who want to learn it from them; and, finally, furnish all who want to present an issue to the public with the opportunity to make their challenge known.

I wonder if this quote is still something we believe is correct. Implied here is that "learning" and "sharing what they know" are unqualified good. But I think there is lots of that on the internet these days... much of it bad. But then who gets to decide what is or isn't the right kind of learning in this model?

Cocos is likely using actual JavaScript. When I used Unity's JS dialect (a very long time ago, to be fair) it was very much not traditional JS and was its own beast, so Unity likely was having to do a lot of work on it.
Your comment is almost irrelevant to the original post. It's not in README which is what most people look at. I never look at "about us" unless I am really interested in what's going on.

I don't think we should be forcing these norms on children of this age.

I don't think we should be either. But asides from the well known differences in brain size and white / grey matter ratios which I'm sure you're already with, I encourage you to visit your local Lesbian Mother's Group where I am sure you will find many parents who absolutely believe in year-0 of sex differences and who, based on my sister's experiences, are often very surprised about how boys and girls act.

> But I suspect that what you're actually saying is that we should not tolerate transgender expression in children.

There is no reason to say this. Many people against gender theory are former 'tomboys' that are healthy adults, don't conform to gender stereotypes, and are glad that breast binding, hormones and cosmetic surgery weren't foisted on them as children.

That’s not my experience with using third party repos and building third-party software from source on Linux. Heck, much of the time that I use Linux is fit software where I need to do the latter and it isn’t practical on Windows.

Relative population levels are indeed important to understand how colonisation could have happened, in addition to technological superiority.

An example involving France, and which had long lasting consequences: in 1830 France invaded and conquered Algeria. Looking at those with modern eyes one might think it should have been a massive war with an untenable outcome because France has a population of 68 million and Algeria has a population of 46 million... but in 1830 France had a population of about 33 million and had industrialised while Algeria had a population of only 3 million and still had an agrarian economy so the dynamic was completely different (although it still wasn't a walk in the park for the French).
Letting an organization grab control of resources that do not belong to it, without the consent of the actual owners of those resources, is not "security".

The three main things people seem to need with Mastodon are:

1. A server to join. Try techhub.social or hachyderm.io or infosec.exchange or ioc.exchange or sfba.social or even one of the official servers like mastodon.online -- any of those will be fine

2. An app. I use the web interface and am happy with it, but I've also tried Ivory and it's a pretty good app

3. People to follow, to get started. That's going to depend on your interests. There was a HN post with a lot of good recommendations here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34413641
your comment makes me think:

emacs already does everything-- no tool is ever going to do more than emacs (before you say it, i know this isn't literally true.)

so when i already have a tool that does everything (actually multiple tools), what might i want in a different tool? to extend the metaphor of a tool: i'd want a tool that feels better in my hand, or a tool that does a specific job very well, or a tool that can fit better into tight and awkward spaces, or a tool that works by a different principle, or just a more beautiful specimen of the same tool that does everything. or maybe i'd want a different tool for one of the many reasons i'm sure i haven't thought of.

just some stray thoughts, nothing original, but it makes me realize that i'm always looking for tools that work on a different principle to the ones i've got, and that's never occurred to me before now.
You can legally share every last detail of the poop you just left in the toilet, pictures and all. If you choose to do that at the lunch table at work, nobody is obliged to remain seated with you. Ergo, sharing such details is not a good idea. Even though it is perfectly legal.

Those co-workers who vacated the table are exercising their rights in walking away. Call that "mob justice" if you will.

No. Because Twitter and other online spaces are not society. They’re a bizarro world version of that. Case in point: nearly everyone is 5 clicks more obnoxious on Twitter than in real life. Confrontations happen that wouldn’t otherwise.
The license in the original Atom repository https://github.com/atom/atom/blob/master/LICENSE.md has the following copyright notice:

IANAL but the terms of the MIT license says:

> […]

> The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

And they did preserve it all.

https://github.com/pulsar-edit/pulsar/blob/master/LICENSE.md

So IMO, they are pretty much fulfilling the requirements of the MIT license it looks like.

Depends on whether the copyright notice and license is also presented somewhere (such as under the About menu) in distributed copies of the modified program as well. But I have no interest in installing Pulsar just to see if they do that or not.

It's not a landing page, which us why it's doing a poor job at being one. This linked URL is the donate page, but if you go up one level to the site root you will see the text you quotednin your comment. I don't see whats wrong with that, since if you enter the donate page presumably you've been on the site root first. Of course, the concept of link aggregation here kind of screws that assumption but :shrug:.

I agree monetary donations are not speech, they are actions. A better example might have been Scott Adams' recent statements. In so far as I haven't heard of him funding anyone.

For now, since many of you probably are not Emacs users and might be wondering how this is relevant to you, consider that Magit has inspired some (incomplete) clones, that you might find useful.

See https://github.com/magit/magit/wiki/Inspired-by-Magit for a list of tools inspired by Magit and https://emacsair.me/2017/09/01/magit-for-non-emacs-users/ for some older musings of mine on the matter.

The other comment mentions a gobo which is the industrial solution to this.

Personally, I find the UX on Mastodon is strictly superior to Twitter. The UI is more responsive, you have Tweetdeck style columns that let you track lists on the same page, you can mark content as sensitive, collapse long posts, and automatically caption images. I find all of these things are big quality of life improvements for me.

I also really like the fact that you can turn off notifications for likes and boosts. I only care about replies, and this lets me avoid the noise in my notifications.

Finally, another big UX feature is that you can follow people on other platforms that support ActivityPub. For example, I follow a few photographers on Pixelfed, and some streams on Lemmy in my feed.

Also if you wrote the JS equivalent of that, each vector would be 3-4 individually heap-allocated doubles in v8, because they aren't able to allocate floating-point values inline. There would also be a new heap allocation for the result vector itself when performing each operation. The overhead really adds up. :/

At one point Mozilla had a prototype implementation of strongly-typed value types in JavaScript, but it fell by the wayside once WebAssembly became a thing.
