This is too peaceful. Use destructive methods

RIP.

Much respect to these selfless volunteers spending their life making everybody's better.

Wait till they ruin the internet, make users unable of any meaningful general purpose computation on their own hardware, then everybody has to beg them for computing and knowledge.

this is bigger than a few AI companies. This is the scheme of global governments moving towards full totalitarianism and control.

Call me paranoid but I highly believe this is the route we're at.

Permissive license is basically for you and contributors to provide free labour and when mature enough, big corp X can just exploit it and use it for their own benefit off your free labour if needed.

There are actual good and big projects that use permissive licensing that have not been overtaken (postgres for example) but they mostly have very strong, cohesive business and market plan to achieve that, plus the bature of their software.

If your software is actually complicated and useful, don't let corporations exploit it for nothing.

Keep your project healthy and alive by using LGPL or some similar FLOSS license instead of MIT. MIT and other permissive licenses are horrible.

I actually wrote a blog about this a few months back. It was after a 12 day war (Israel+USA attacking Iran) and 40 day internet blackout, and then we got into another war (Israel+USA attacking Iran) and a 90-100 day(lost track) internet blackout.

It isn't exactly "how to survive the apocalypse" guide but it was a really helpful guide for myself and my friends and helped me keep working in those blackout days.

It's isn't focused on hardware, just software, since I'm a software engineer.

Not that this is the most important metric. I'm not even sure if his numbers are correct. But interesting nontheless.

I can vouch for Clojure's conciseness.

We like the Rust, we hate the cuck license. Simple.

I say this is only ok because he did that in amazon. Fuck amazon

If he did that in a medium-or-less sized company that would be a really shitty move.

I load the file into the memory and alter the memory bits manually.

Hi guys.

I just did day1 of 2024 (I know, I'm late) this might be a dumb question but I reallydont understand why we should sort the two lists before substracting? I created some test cases with 10-20 items and calculated them manually, if you don't sort the list and just add all list1 items and substract from the sum of list2, you get the same answer. But it doesn't work with the large input file.

Let's say list1 has elements (a,b,c,d) and list2 has (e,f,g,h).

(a-e)+(b-f)+(c-g)+(d-h) = a-e+b-f+c-g+d-h = (a+b+c+d)-(e+f+g+h)

So the sorting shouldn't matter. Right? But it does. Am I too bad at basic math?

Hi Redshift isn't maintained anymore and lately redshift-gtk doesnt start anymore (something about a python circular dependancy).

What should we use?

[-] somegeek@programming.dev 22 points 2 years ago

SystemD works great, but the corporations and politics behind it will ruin Linux if they fully take over. They are already optimizing heavily for IoT just because IBM is heavily focused on IoT

Hi guys.

I have an android head unit for my car that only manages multimedia, navigation and stuff. it also has multiple physical buttons and knobs. It’s offbrand so can name the particular brand or model.

can I for example upgrade the OS?

I can't stand people who don't eat the crust. Or people who waste and don't appreciated food in general.
