Nice bit of spicy Linus to start the day.

Good though, these dinosaur maintainers really need to wind their necks in. From what I've seen so far, Rust is the best tool for the job in the situations where it's been used. I struggle to see anything more from the detractors than a toddler tantrum about having to learn a new language—particularly given the current situation where they've been treated with kid gloves and are allowed to ignore it entirely.

So, general strike time right?

Is there an extension of Betteridge's law of headlines for tech blogs?

If the title of a tech blog poses a problem, the solution is "the product I work on/sell"

Imagine the world we would be in now if it was Bernie back in 2016

Nah if it was him he'd be on his normal valium bender shouting nonsense about genitals.

XcQ

One is the actual disembowelment one is the ritual IIRC

One is part of the other

FFS, everyone remember:

Every single word that falls out of Trump's mouth is an admission of personal guilt.

He's completely unable to keep something to himself

PhysX has just been a CUDA application for a long time, there's not been a dedicated PPU on any card in a very long time

Not just inhumane, this is inhuman.

This is the kind of shit someone with absolutely nothing in common with the rest of us, does.

The whitehouse is currently staffed with actual ghouls

The day he took office and signed a ridiculous number of overreaching EOs

Honestly if you're not putting the internet and the general proliferation of personal computers and then smartphones in the "truly innovative" category, then I'm not sure anything will make the cut—I'd make the argument that both are more innovative than flight which is something we can observe in nature.

Welp here's hoping something pops up to replace gravity sync soon, can't really upgrade until it does.

I just found https://github.com/mattwebbio/orbital-sync but it's not apparent if it's compatible with v6 yet

This is just one of many reasons, for example

The FAA head pushed out by Musk before all the planes started crashing had fairly recently fined spaceX for safety issues.

It's just pettiness and entitlement. He's going after everyone who has ever said no to him.

Read this a few days ago and it feels pretty relevant here.

I bet you can run 10base2 over it

Seemingly so, such a shame, they seemed so happy together

Can we send them somewhere without land?

Further evidence that a Republican government in the USA results in private organisations pushing the bar as far as they can.

In Reagan's time it was Wall Street. Now it's Silicon Valley.

You want private organisations working for your benefit and not that of their shareholders? You need a government that actually has the gumption to challenge them. The current US government is 4 years of a surrender flag flying on the white house.

Or we could bin off this fucking failed neoliberal experiment, but that's apparently a bit controversial for far too many people
