Maybe.

Linux won because it worked. Hurd was stuck in research and development hell. They never were able to catch up.

However, Linus’s kernel was more elaborate than GNU Hurd, so it was incorporated.

Quite the opposite.

GNU Hurd was a microkernel, using lots of cutting edge research, and necessitating a lot of additional complexity in userspace. This complexity also made it very difficult to get good performance.

Linux, on the other hand, was just a bog standard Unix monolithic kernel. Once they got a libc working on it, most existing Unix userspace, including the GNU userspace, was easy to port.

Linux won because it was simple, not elaborate.

Do Nerd Fonts use the Unicode private use area?

It seems not. It seems like they replace CJK characters instead.

The PUA seems like the right way to handle this.

TIL. Thanks for the correction.

\1. Many retro games were made for CRT TVs at 480p. Updating the graphics stack modern TVs is valuable, even if nothing else is changed.

\2. All of my old consoles only have analog A/V outputs. And my TV only has one analog A/V input. The mess of adapter cables and swapping is annoying. I want the convenience of playing on a system that I already have plugged in.

\3. I don’t even still have some of the consoles that play my favorite classic games, and getting retro hardware is sometimes difficult. Especially things like N64 controllers with good joysticks.

Studios don’t need to do a full blown remake to solve these problems. But I’m also not going to say the Crash and Spyro remakes weren’t welcome. Nintendo’s Virtual Console emulators toe this line pretty well.

But studios should still put in effort to make these classic games more accessible to modern audiences, and if that means a remake, that’s fine with me.

(I’m mostly thinking about the GameCube/PS2 generation and earlier. I don’t see much value in remakes of the Wii/PS3 generation yet.)

They can’t even be punished. robots.txt is just a convention, not a regulation. It’s totally not enforceable.

The only legal framework we have is copyright law. Those who oppose this behavior will have to demonstrate copyright violation, and that may be difficult to do since the law hasn’t caught up.

What’s wrong with AC if it’s powered by renewable electricity?

Zsh

No plugin manager. Zsh has a builtin plugin system (autoload) and ships with most things you want (like Git integration).

My config: http://github.com/cbarrick/dotfiles

Exactly.

My take is that the issue isn’t with tmpfiles.d, but rather the decision to use it for creating home directories.

With a headline like that, I thought he died…

Huh. This got me curious.

Yes, I did just type a bare URL. Every mature markdown parser I’ve used turns this into a link, and appropriately handles trailing punctuation.

So I went to the spec, and it’s explicitly called out that this is not an autolink. Autolinks must be explicitly surrounded with angle brackets <>.

So yeah \shrug.

https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/#autolinks

Edit to be clear: This means that both of our markdown parsers are wrong relative to the commonmark spec. But I’ll argue that if a parser is going to attempt to autolink this, then handling trailing punctuation is better than not.

I intentionally added a period because it was the end of a sentence.

If your Lemmy app messed it up, then that’s a bug in its markdown parser.

With a good style/best-practice guide, C++ can be quite productive of a language to work with.

Those kinds of guides typically define which standard/convention to use and which features not to use (cough exceptions cough).

I highly recommend Google’s C++ style guide: https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html.

Nearly 3,000 people died in 9/11.

That image is in very poor taste. wtf.

Apple Security Bounty awards may not be paid to you if you are in any U.S. embargoed countries or on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals, the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Person’s List or Entity List, or any other restricted party lists.

Kaspersky can whine all they want. Russia is embargoed. They’re not getting their money.

Kaspersky is a good company doing good work in the cyber security space. Unfortunately, because of the embargo, they may have to turn to the black market to sell future exploits. Or maybe not; I’m not totally sure what kind of ethical standards they have.

Nvidia is in a great spot for the AI bubble.

It drives up prices now, but when the bubble eventually burst, data centers are still going to need accelerators for more viable compute tasks.

Absolutely the most robust business in the bubble.

I assume so.

If you’ve got a phone or laptop charger, then input voltage doesn’t often matter. They’ll work with either 120v or 230v.

And in general, you likely won’t be bringing non-charger electrical stuff with you when travelling.

So if you’re installing this in the US, it makes sense to just wire this with 120v. Peoples’ phone chargers will continue to work just fine.

Mostly I use custom launchers because I don’t like the Google News feed

What’s wild to me is that back in the Google Now era, I was so excited to root so that I could install the extension for Nova to add Google Now.

But these days, the Google “Discovery” feed is trash compared to what Google Now once was.
