It was one of the stated goals for Servo itself to be designed like that. But I don’t think anyone at Mozilla expected Servo to take over from Gecko. They were already quite happy that they were able to incorporate Servo’s style engine and URL bar implementation and such into Gecko.
I don’t think that’s quite right. The Linux kernel, Firefox and Chromium all sit around 30 millions lines of code, last I checked, so if you add the rest of the operating system, it should still have more lines of code than the browser.
But yes, similar order of magnitude.
Their point is that the maintainer did not sign a contract that requires them to perform maintainer duties. They can choose to stop doing it at any point. They can choose to axe a feature that you deem essential. They can choose to rewrite the project in COBOL for the fun of it.
You may not like it, but that is how it is.
The only legal document involved is the license and any open-source license I’ve seen so far, has stated that the program is provided as is.
This is the license under which rsync is provided: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html
See sections 15 and 16.
The only way you get to have a say in the matter, is by forking and becoming a maintainer yourself.
Nah, I first saw this photo many years ago…
Clap has an entry in their cookbook for a REPL:
Of course, this works best for simple stuff, where you just have individual commands to parse.
For a Python-style REPL with a full-fledged language attached, I would not use that approach.
There’s probably some REPL languages implemented in Rust already out there, where you can look at their approach.
I kind of want to try it now, though. It’s a thing to fry rice before you cook it, so maybe you can also do that with oatmeal?
Hmm, seems to work like you want for me. Using Plasma 6.6 with the icons-only task manager…
Coming at it from the Rust ecosystem, I’d primarily opt for uploading release binaries somewhere. You don’t particularly need a setup script, since Rust programs are generally self-contained.
Publishing a package in addition to that really isn’t hard, but would be my secondary choice, since users are not likely to have cargo on their system.
Well, and cargo compiles on the target machine, which is great for supporting unusual architectures, but you may have C libraries included where it’s just a gamble whether you can compile them on a given target system.
Should perhaps add that you can generally run Linux distributions off of a USB stick for that first impression.
Just follow a tutorial for how to install Linux and when you see the actual installer on screen, you can just close the installer without installing and then click around in the UI.
It will be slow, because it’s running off that slow USB connection, but otherwise this is pretty much the operating system as it is when fully installed.
I do enjoy how much time they spent explaining that mommy and daddy are not arguing. Makes it feel all the more like they’re arguing.
Really doesn’t help, though, that they are effectively saying “stop doing that right now and explain yourself”.
Like, man, what predates this post? Did they ask the JIT devs before to submit a PEP and they just didn’t do it?
I will say, a lot of this impression comes just from how open-source works.
You can’t really go up to someone privately before you make the conflict public, because all communication is public.
And of course, many people are involved here. Setting a deadline and all that helps those people to actually get coordinated. Maybe the folks on the Steering Committee just know that to be the case…
Lots of folks also like the unmarketable names, because you know that it’s not a corporate project. You’re hearing about it, because it’s actually good, and not just because some startup got VC money to do marketing.
Heck, the reverse is true as well. This project is better specifically because it has that name. You just know some transfemmes are tirelessly hacking away at it, because they enjoy the silly name.
Yeah, it’s definitely a trope to make it obvious to the viewer what’s happening, and of course, to build up drama.
To stave off bigots.
Strictly necessary for SuperTuxKart.
…Of course, mascots are not *needed*. But there’s no cost associated with them. And folks in the community enjoy them. It would be irrational to not have mascots.
Yeah, I have also played it on there. Just to give others an idea, we’re talking an MP3 player from 2007, that looks like this:
Here’s an article showing the successor model running Doom: https://hackaday.com/2016/12/30/sansa-mp3-player-runs-doom-unplayably/
Yeah, true. To both, your correction and your caveat. 😅
I do find it an interesting choice. Normally, you’d put a comma there, but you could also use a colon. If you combine comma and colon, you do get a semicolon.
I mean, it’s used in English as well. Lots of English words originated in French…
Damn, did not expect mining to be concentrated on so few countries.
Obviously, not every nation has worthwhile uranium deposits. And I guess, some nations might decide to import while that’s possible and only dip into their own mineable resources when necessary…?
Still feels, though, like a certain trumpet could decide tomorrow to attack Kazhakstan and completely fuck the uranium supply chain in addition to the oil supply chain.
Which, thinking about it, isn’t even too unlikely. He attacked Iran on the pretense of them supposedly building a nuke.
If they were building a nuke, they would likely get uranium from either Kazhakstan or Uzbekistan, since those are pretty much next door.
Oh man, don’t show this chart to the guy…
I find that setting the power profile to “Power-Saver” makes a huge difference.
KDE has support for that built-in, although I’m not sure, if distributions install the corresponding daemon on desktop systems: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/power-profiles-daemon
You should be able to cycle through power profiles with Meta+B on KDE.
You can also see and change the profile via the systray icon for the battery, but on a desktop system, that presumably won’t be shown by default.
Otherwise,
powerprofilesctlis also an option, as described in that link.
