- grg0Rough life inside a cave.
- Sounds like another win for my gym bros. The science is still catching up.
- From the soydev extension.
- That had not occurred to me and I'm also not sure. FreeDOS was able to boot just fine into the live environment. It was the disk part that failed.
- Next: Palantir thinks high school might be a waste of time, so they are hiring middle schoolers.
Wait...
- I have it on my to-do list to install FreeDOS on bare metal to set up a retro gaming box. Tried once, but for some reason the installer failed writing to disk. Anyway, if anyone is making new FreeDOS games, I'll gladly pay for them, and it'll give me an excuse to go down that avenue again.
- It's so old, that the 3D icons and window borders will be new again when 1.0 is released. Talk about some long-term vision.
But jokes aside, I always enjoy reading about custom OSes.
- And the exact same thing can be done in C++.
- My Emacs setup typically involves:
- An LSP: https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/tutorials/CPP-guide/ - Neotree to browse the file system: https://github.com/jaypei/emacs-neotree - Awesome-tab for tabs: https://github.com/manateelazycat/awesome-tab
If you want more, look at the extensions section of the LSP page and then go down the rabbit hole.
I likewise do not use Doom or any of the bundled variants because I want full control and understanding of my config. But those variants are still useful to learn what's out there and selectively add things to your mix.
- Videos on that page have more information than the post's link.
- Yeah, that is a lot more insightful than Synadia's marketing spew, thanks.
The BDFL point is particularly interesting to me having followed C++ for almost two decades and having been disenfranchised by the inconsistency of the design. I am more of the belief now that a BDFL is the right model for programming language design, particularly one that isn't insular and listens to feedback, but upholds their vision for the language above all else.
- Yeah, for sure. It's interesting to read about what developers thought of OSes or programming languages of yore, especially from Carmack. But GP is already begging for praise on Mac or something.
- Why does this matter to you at all? It's funny to see all the Mac apologizer comments having to clarify that "oh no, but that Mac was so different". As if the modern incantation is any better; we just had a thread two days ago of how absolutely botched it is from a UI/UX perspective, and the hardware is the most anti-hacker, anti-consumer, DRM-riddled thing in existence if you watch any of that Ross boy's channel.
> If I can convince apple to do a good hardware accelerated OpenGL in rhapsody
Yeah, that comment aged well. Mac users are still waiting for full OpenGL 4.6 compliance and that spec is already ten years old.
Edit: of course, I will get down-voted despite laying out very basic facts. Happens every time you poke the dogma bee's nest.
Edit edit: I am still genuinely curious why the man's opinion from 30 years ago apparently matters to you that much. I'd like to understand the psychology behind it if you would care to write a response.
- Those are good, actual points against EVs.
I should have added hybrids in my original comment.
- That's not the point and it's also irrelevant. People don't buy a car because they have a love of gas or electricity; they buy what works and is affordable. Chinese EVs are getting more range, have more software and safety features and are becoming cheaper and cheaper to buy. They are competition even to gas cars now. What form of energy the engine consumes is irrelevant here.
- I find the latter very amusing, actually. Have tech CEOs confused money as a proxy of power for actual power? Did they really think they could "buy" a guy that grew up in the mafia world of real estate?
- That is the real question to me. Surely ramping production of gas cars at the expense of a slower adoption of EV technology is a step backwards in the global market? Regardless of what you think of the EV regulations, isn't the underlying problem that local car manufacturers are simply not competitive?
EU car manufacturers have the same conundrum too as far as I know.
- Zero confidence why? Market segments exist.
I want hardware that I can afford and own, not AI/datacenter crap that is useless to me.
- This article presents the apparently widespread, but incorrect and, frankly, boring view that "coding" is the bottleneck in development. The following statement summarizes this view best:
> Many knowledge-work tasks are harder to automate than coding, which benefits from huge amounts of training data and clear definitions of success.
which implies that "coding" is not knowledge work. If "coding" is understood as the mere typing of requirements into executable code, then that simply is not a bottleneck and the gains to be had there are marginal (check out Amdahl's law). And if "coding" is to be understood as the more general endeavour of software development, then the people making these statements have no fucking idea what they're talking about and cannot be taken seriously.
