Ha yes because famously programmers like to build interfaces by using rectangles in C++/C/Rust. There is a reason JSX/HTML won and I strongly believed any new native lib needs to emulate that DX to gain any meaningful traction. Something like dioxus in Rust is going in the right direction.

They were announced months ago, not shipping months ago. Framework announce Q1 and is shipping Q3. Again, keep in mind the CPU itself only launched last month. This is the real reason the 395 had not been put in anything yet.

Plenty of folks on Reddit have already received shipment (not order) confirmation of the Z13. It looks like even more as of this morning. I doubt if any have actually fully received said shipments yet as it has only been a couple days since launch. It'll likely remain pretty out of stock unless you managed to get an order immediately at launch, again due to the paper launch of the 395 last month and low 395 availability until Q2.

I didn't know HP was making one too! That'll be exciting as it's easier to order that at my work than e.g. an ASUS one or what have you.
Ads? Too obvious. Just always suggest sponsors' products when it's in context, and censor your competitors so they're never mentioned in responses.

And since AI is so great and you don't want to bother going to the website and clicking through a cookie banner, as another commenter mentioned, you just won't ever know the competitor exists

I guess that's technically an ad but it's so much more subversive that "ad" doesn't really do it justice. It'll be like product placement but worse somehow
C, C++, C#, and probably Rust. There’s a section about that. There’s a link to the FAQ I. That section.
Be sure to hear other side of the ESG, namely Aswath Damodaran's take on it [1] - although it's heavy on the financial/finance side. That's just one video, but you can find more about his position.

This is making me think of that LIMA paper from a couple of years ago. (Concluding that you can effectively align models with just a few well chosen examples.) On the other hand, nobody seems to be doing that, so I’ve wondered where that leaves this line of research.
None of what you say here that is true moves the needle on what you say that isn't true.

Programmers using underscore to denote identifiers for internal use was well-established and in use long before ActionScript even appeared. To claim that it's a "direct descendant" of ActionScript is arbitrary, anachronistic, and odd.

So long as there is enough space to safely have a bonfire (no burning down the neighbor's house or starting a forest fire), and nobody gets so drunk they need medical care there is nothing wrong with a drunken bonfire. Or you can put away the alcohol and have a kid friendly bonfire - they are just as much fun.

Of course many drunken bonfires end up needing health care and/or firefighting. However they need not. How do you fix your friends?

This book is just pretentious and expensive bullshit. It is just hype to grab fools' money.

If you want to know how much "science-infused" is this cooking just look at any picture of its author. Nathan Myrvhold is obviously overweight, a sure sign that he doesn't understand nutrition or basics of health science.

You don't need spherification, sous-vide baths or ultra-speed blenders to make tasty and healthy food. All you need is lots of practice, good taste and good quality ingredients.

Developed countries have this weird obsession of over-engineering things that don't need to be complicated. It is not only Americans that do that, Germans and Japanese are very much the same.

The best way to invest ethically is to do it yourself. When you give your money to a VC firm to do it, they end up following bogus rules like ESG.

When I invest, it's always a mix of wanting the company's product to exist in the world and wanting to make money. Making money lets you invest in future things you want to exist in the world, so it's at least a good instrumental goal. But more importantly, companies that don't make money usually don't grow. So the social impact of investing in unsuccessful companies is usually small. The goals are mostly aligned as long as the product is something you want to exist.
Except we are talking about Linux specifically, the "users" here in your analogy are people working in the collective kernel code, and there is a unique culture and set of practices around maintaining this because it's not some REST API where if something breaks you just shove a bug fix out for your part.
One alternative VC fund that comes to mind is TinySeed: https://tinyseed.com

Though perhaps the "ethics" you're referring to, they invest in bootstrapped companies who aren't necessarily on the venture track moonshot rat race. For me, that's a big part of the unethical side of VC: Throwing money at a 1,000 ideas and expecting 999 of them to fail in hopes of one goldmine.

My own company, StatusGator, took a small investment from them even though we swore we'd never take VC money. It was a great choice for us and I feel TinySeed's ethics and values far outshine other investors.

Because you're repeating the typical US defeatist trope that government is other people. That attitude is how democracy dies. FSM help us all.
“All these examples are written in C#, and are created using our Win32 platform integration. As such, they are using an API that is idiomatic to C# and made to feel nice to use in specifically C#.

Keep in mind that PanGui is designed to be language-agnostic and will be transpiled to many languages, with C++ being the next target language. Where necessary, the user-facing API will always change to feel natural to use in the target language.”

Unsure if the whole thing transpiles or it’s C bindings with a transpiled shim. Either way, not having the source to inspect makes the package a tough sell to most here, I’d imagine.
Water is wet and software is complex.

Due to this inherent nature, some support is often needed in order to apply open source successfully.

A cognitive dissonance sometimes occurs when open source offers no promise of support to the user yet expects some support in return.
On the FAQ, they point out that they don't know exactly what the licensing and pricing model will be, but that they intend to make it open source but also have a business model that supports development:

Look, we're going to level with you. We really don't know. We have two overriding priorities:

First, we want to put PanGui into the hands of as many people as possible and make it as accessible as possible. Second, we would prefer not to starve to death.

The extreme version of the first priority is making PanGui fully free and open source for anyone and everyone. The extreme version of the second priority is creating some pricing scheme where people have to pay us exorbitant fees just to glance briefly at an impressionist painting of the source code.

Clearly, neither will work out, so our goal is to strike some balance between these two extremes, preferably getting as close to the first one as possible. If you have any opinions or ideas, we would love to hear them.

Please tell us what to do
As of this moment, we think PanGui is very likely to be some sort of open source, and hopefully the vast majority of people using it will never have to pay a dime. If we can make that work, we will.
I don't agree about the solar panels, installing them on roofs is massively more expensive than on the ground outside the city.
Maintaining a theme ~a decade after its creation is minimal effort. You can check the commit history yourself and see it's a one line change once in a while among auto dependency bumps thanks to a >10k line package-lock.json, at least half of which is unrelated to core functionality as demonstrated by t3dotgg.

It's also funny to see a "supposed software engineer" shit on other's tools and post veiled personal attacks based on a single Internet comment. If I were you I'd probably insinuate you've never worked on any large code base so don't know LoC definitely correlates with complexity as a rough first signal (not to mention I included a rough analysis of actual code as well), but I shouldn't do that based on a single comment. Anyway I've maintained plenty of open source code bases large and small, popular (>10k stars, yes that's not a very good metric but it's also a useful first signal) or not, so I'm pretty well equipped to evaluate maintenance burden.
Well, if you went so far as to reimplement Next.js, I don't think you're using Rails either.

And frankly I'd like to see it since that's a really hard problem to just roll your own solution. And probably a huge waste of time if you're trying to ship a real product on top of it.
I still think we should have forced everything into a 32-bit char, with no distinction between codepoints and grapheme clusters. One press on backspace removes one char. Address of char 7 is base+7x4. String length is byte length x 4. cat /dev/urandom is a valid string, it's the font's job to deal with unknown byte values, if you just want to process the text you dont need to care. Everything about text processing becomes super easy like in the old ascii only k&r c example code. I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think there's a widely used language that couldn't be represented by that.

Of course, you lose round trip ability with legacy encodings, which is why we have the mess that is unicode. Oh and silly things like unicode flag emojis wouldn't work, but honestly maybe that would be for the best. Oh well, it's too late now so I guess we just accept it.
The bad thing is the sudden change in a resource that the people are dependent on. There's absolutely nothing bad about imposing a curfew during this emergency.
> with a razor sharp focus on performance

Is it interesting that they chose this phrase. How does it compare to Qt performance on their supported platforms? I cannot believe they will be faster than Qt in 2025. To be clear, I don't think a general UI framework needs to paint GUIs any faster than 60 frames per second. If you need faster, then use a specialist graphics framework, like SDL. That said, the Qt commercial license is very expensive, so maybe they can compete with lower prices (and somewhat lower quality).
Ah, I think you may have most of your interest in the privacy aspects, but I personally lean more on the results.

I'd say I have faith that they're doing the right thing, but it's by no means the reason I use their platform. If privacy is your main goal, I understand the hesitancy. I'm not sure how one would prove privacy (maybe that new feature they had with tokens unassociated with an account), but that would be very interesting.
Thank you very much for this.

The main box says "Tech-Pubs.net, or TechPubs, is a public wiki cataloging the hardware of the former Silicon Graphics Corporation." but you have so much more content than a catalog of hardware.

It's absolutely true. Humans misremember details but I'll ask an LLM what function I use to do something and it'll literally tell me a function exists named DoExactlyWhatIWant and humans never do that unless they're liars. And I don't go to liars for information -- same reason I don't trust LLMs.

Tell me, does an LLM know when it lies?
Just looking at the history of Chile in particular, it's a little hard to make this particular story work! Or just, I would be extremely curious here to hear the precise theory/timeline here for you. Similar theories I have heard always seem to fall back on a kind of kettle logic: communism is cultural invetiability, active external cause, symptom, and then the continual generator of ongoing woes post-mortem; was it the "revolution" itself or the fact they "needed" one? It just usually lacks the kind of rigor and nuance we should expect from historical analysis. But I would hope your idea here isn't so simple?
So basically what you're saying is don't expect more from VC than what it is. Take it at face value and don't try to make it something it's not. I think that makes sense. Then I need to seek out other forms of investing and charitable like work e.g societal impact companies or cooperative funds specifically geared for that purpose. I think some things as a coop would make more sense tbh.
It's crazy people don't understand the web didn't die-- it was killed to prioritize r/SEO scammer-type content from the subcontinent.

I've been building websites my whole life, but my main niche is music, and one of my big sites is kpopping.com

Now I have the best database, bar none, in this niche for a decade now. It's not even close. But instead of gradually ascending to the top of google's results, my webapp has to rely on donations and subscriptions to survive because Google cannot get enough of content from the hindustani times and purple wordpress blogs. They even literally had pornography ads for months on a kpop site. It didn't matter. 20M+ a month. Welcome to google and the main reason nothing gets built.

Over the years, my consensus is that if you’re playing by values you’re leaving alpha on the table. Alpha that another company will try and likely scoop. Not that we shouldn’t keep trying, but it likely makes an already difficult game that much harder.

Someone posted some EU funds. So, maybe the EU spends more effort on this?

As far as the US, you can also look into state grants. Those from what I’ve researched have requirements such as partnering with research institutions or other stipulations like matching. It’s nowhere near, here’s my idea and thank you for the check.

No they're not. There are whole classes of professional that take on personal liability related to handling of private information. Journalists can be one of them but one reason you do not want a journalist handling private information is that they do not get the benefit of privilege in most jurisdictions. Anything in their possession that is private can be exposed by subpoena or other court order.

we've been using SAFe for a few years, I despise every minute of the planning process. Feel like a mix between using a crystal ball and forcing square pegs in round holes... Of course the additional disfunctionality at my company between sales, PO/PM/BO and engineering doesn't help, though it seems that I've avoided the worst SAFe train of the company.
It takes a supermajority to oust the board or the CEO.

Must controls about 12% of the company, so the remaining 88% of the stock needs to produce the 2/3s majority. So you effectively need 75% of voters to vote against him.

TSLA probably has a large retail segment, and they can't be organized to vote, and generally the TSLA retail crowd is full of Elon fanbois. That leaves institutional investors, and with Musk's alignment with the Trump administration, they are terrified of getting their institutions investigated or harassed.

The only way Musk gets ousted is for the stock to drop so far that a margin call is issued on the loans he has taken on the stock. I don't know what that is, but I suspect it is under 100$/share.

That might force a selloff by Musk, which combined with the price collapse chasing retail investors away, may provide enough voting power for institutions. Still a big IF.

The only other thing would be if board members start resigning, but most of the board is sufficiently amoral and well compensated that it is unlikely.

Regulatory intervention isn't happening for four years. Lawsuits? Probably would need executive branch enforcement, and there's always the Trump pardon to wipe anything away.
Telescope is primarily focused on log visualization, not on log collection or preparing ClickHouse for storage. The system does not currently provide (and I think will not ever) built-in mechanisms for ingesting logs from any sources.

I will consider providing a how-to guide on setting up log storage in ClickHouse, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to cover all possible scenarios. This is a highly specific topic that depends on the infrastructure and needs of each organization.

If you’re looking for a all-in-one solution that can*both collect and visualize logs, you might want to check out https://www.highlight.io or https://signoz.io or other similar projects.

And also, by the way, I’m not trying to create a "Grafana Loki killer" or a "killer" of any other tool. This is just an open source project - I simply want to build a great log viewer without worrying about how to attract users from Grafana Loki or Elastic or any other tool/product.

> If the codebase has multiple languages using my api I will need to make changes in these other languages if I want to do this. This is a very real cost to me.

Current policy, at least in theory, is that the C interfaces can change as before and it's on the Rust maintainers to fix any issues on their side. From Linus's response:

> So when you change the C interfaces, the Rust people will have to deal with the fallout, and will have to fix the Rust bindings. That's kind of the promise here: there's that "wall of protection" around C developers that don't want to deal with Rust issues in the promise that they don't have to deal with Rust.
They can do that with a URL.
NTFS has the same two restrictions that many UNIX file systems have, NUL and slash.

The APIs, Win32 in the case of [1], have further restrictions. If you want you can use a different API/personality and write whatever value you'd like (sans NUL and /) provided said personality has no limits -- NTFS does no validation itself.

In practice, Win32 being the default personality makes said plethlora of restrictions true, but it isn't a "filesystem" limitation, rather an API restriction. A nuanced if unimportant difference.

> A mathematician and a physicist agree to a psychological experiment.
The mathematician is put in a chair in a large empty room and a
beautiful naked woman is placed on a bed at the other end of the room.
The psychologist explains, "You are to remain in your chair. Every
five minutes, I will move your chair to a position halfway between its
current location and the woman on the bed." The mathematician looks
at the psychologist in disgust. "What? I'm not going to go through
this. You know I'll never reach the bed!" And he gets up and storms
out. The psychologist makes a note on his clipboard and ushers the
physicist in. He explains the situation, and the physicist's eyes
light up and he starts drooling. The psychologist is a bit confused.
"Don't you realize that you'll never reach her?" The physicist smiles
and replied, "Of course! But I'll get close enough for all practical
purposes!"

Is that it? Is it sexist because the physicist and mathematician are attracted to the naked woman?
