Things like the EU-Linux petition and public money, public code are becoming evermore important. If you're European, sign the petition and share it. We are looking down the barrel of all US software being used to spy on us (if it isn't being done already).

People laugh and mock China while the same is bring implemented here. But they'll tell you "I have nothing to hide". I guess they have to be personally misjudged by AI to understand the privacy is indeed important.

Sadly, these are the mistakes humans have to make to understand. Whether they can remedy it is unknown as Pandora's box might already have been opened.

If you’re like many developers and you generally use println for debugging and rarely or never use an actual debugger, then this is wasted time.

I weep for the time lost on debugging with println. Good grief. It's like having access to a time stopping ability and going "nah, I like trying to add a marker and tracing footsteps".

Yes, for multi threaded workloads there aren't many options, but most are single threaded and eschewing a debugger is bonkers to me.

👏👏👏

Great response. You didn't just recommend your favourite but considered the requester's input, explained why options were filtered out, and narrowed it down to an option with a great description.

I hope OP agrees, but this is what'd be considered stellar customer service if OP were a customer.

Holy shit. Are they generating documentation or a game?

Looks like the announcement was written by somebody from the US and the picture made by somebody non-US.

I thought they were talking about something like 10%. Title seems overblown and just bait to get readers to read about something completely unrelated.

Is this article written by AI? It jumps all over the place and doesn't seem coherent.

Piracy isn't only torrenting. Speeds are better on TOR than I2P, so streaming websites could host the data and allow users to download it directly (DDL). They could also be on TOR and I2P, then provide the DDLs on TOR and torrents on I2P - the best of both worlds.

I bet this won't have an impact on memory safety and interop means C++ compilers have to be stricter about memory layout and reduce unspecified edge cases.

If all this piracy were running on anonymized networks like TOR or I2P, they'd have a much harder time taking down stuff and censoring it.

The U.S destroying its own economy. Who could've asked for a better Christmas present? With Trump at the helm next year, it's only a question of time before trade partners tell the U.S to fuck off and they stop ignoring decisions like these.

I'm actually surprised there is no specification. It's how I thought languages were written: spec first, implementation later. Do RFCs serve this purpose?

Qualcomm engineering director Trilok Soni recently confirmed that the company's Linux team published Linux kernel updates for the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. Qualcomm unveiled the SoC earlier this month, targeting a new generation of flagship phones and tablets supporting Android and Linux.

 

Scientist Jim Wild has traveled to the Arctic Circle numerous times to study the northern lights, but on Thursday night he only needed to look out of his bedroom window in the English city of Lancaster.

 

Black holes the size of an atom that contain the mass of an asteroid may fly through the inner solar system about once a decade, scientists say. Theoretically created just after the big bang, these examples of so-called primordial black holes could explain the missing dark matter thought to dominate our universe. And if they sneak by the moon or Mars, scientists should be able to detect them, a new study shows.

 
 

Telegram, an essential communication tool for millions, finds itself under scrutiny once again. Copyright holders have long expressed concerns about the lack of enforcement on the platform, and recent actions suggest Telegram is responding. Subscribers to Z-Library's popular channel recently noticed that several of the shadow library's messages have been removed "due to copyright infringement."

 

These findings may also explain the "missing plastic problem" that has puzzled scientists, where about 70% of the plastic litter that has entered the oceans cannot be found. The team hypothesizes that coral may be acting as a "sink" for microplastics by absorbing it from the oceans. Their findings were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.

 
 

A new study from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering researchers, along with researchers from the Institute de Physique du Globe de Paris at the University of Paris Cité, has found that the increase in soil erosion in coastal areas due to desertification is worsening flood impacts on Middle Eastern and North African port cities.

Radicle is an open source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack built on Git. Unlike centralized code hosting platforms, there is no single entity controlling the network. Repositories are replicated across peers in a decentralized manner, and users are in full control of their data and workflow.

 

If they launch, the highlight of the mission will be the first spacewalk composed entirely of non-professional astronauts, who will be wearing sleek, newly developed SpaceX extravehicular activity (EVA) suits outfitted with heads-up displays, helmet cameras, and an advanced joint mobility system.

 

Linux maintainers are unwilling to get rust into the kernel, so some rust folks decided to start writing a new kernel with same ABI. This allows them to make new architectural decisions. An example being their "frame kernel" (something between a monolithic kernel and a microkernel).

If I may say, it's more legible and the tooling is way better, right off the bat.
