Suicidally bad naming is the one thing we can always rely on Microsoft for


For something pretty low level and gigantic, Mesa (or at least RADV) is a pleasure to hack on. It has a great config system (meson), compiles super fast, has lots of debug functionality, and can easily be loaded into e.g. a game, without any system level configuration.
The genie produces code at a pace no human reviewer can match. Coding isn’t the bottleneck anymore. I can explore three different implementations before lunch. I can refactor aggressively because the cost of trying something is so low.
Gross
If coding was the bottleneck, there was something badly wrong and AI is not the solution.
That’s not to say it’s the fault of the devs who are using AI, but we obviously haven’t given them the languages and libraries they need to express themselves concisely.


You’re still using their hardware for the coordinator, artifact storage, etc. aren’t you?
The last thing I want to be doing is defending microsoft, but this is inevitable in any free service. In fact this seems like one of the least-bad ways of enshittifying.
We should all be moving to self-hosting or shared hosting through a non-profit, but neither of those are going to be free.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Safety_Amendment#Platforms_affected https://www.esafety.gov.au/about-us/industry-regulation/social-media-age-restrictions/which-platforms-are-age-restricted
eSafety does not have a formal role in declaring which services are age-restricted social media platforms. In the absence of any rules made by the Minister of Communications specifying a service is either an age-restricted social media platform or not an age-restricted social media platform, any determination that a service is or is not an age-restricted social media platform is a matter for the court.
Services which do not currently meet the definition of ‘age-restricted social media platform’ should routinely self-assess, including when introducing a new social feature or function or when observing changes in the ways existing and new account holders are using their service.
So technically they need to self-assess based on the legislation, but based on the published lists I really doubt they have anything to worry about.
I try to use firejail on nixos when I can’t do something in the build sandbox.
It’s painful, and I’m always on the lookout for something better. I’d at least like a portal-ish system where I can easily add things to a sandbox while it’s running.
Edit: if anyone has any issues or discussions about this I’d like to contribute.
(1) boilerplate code that is so predictable a machine can do it
The thing I hate most about it is that we should be putting effort into removing the need for boilerplate. Generating it with a non-deterministic 3rd party black box is insane.


It’s like another attempt at programming with natural language, except using a non-deterministic black box.
They should call it Wish-BASIC ™
I thought I saw it as far back as simcopter
Strange, I’ve never seen that. Have you rebooted the system to make sure it has nothing to do with open files?
I did find one thread that seems related:

btdu is an excellent tool for finding out what’s taking up space in btrfs


Sorry for the duplicate replies. Lemmy server drama…
That’s a tricky one if you’re getting no info from the kernel. I think the reply above about system instability under load sounds promising. Throttling things down to test seems like a good idea.


Were you running dmesg on another screen or over ssh or something? I’d look in journalctl -b-1 after a reboot.
Is it completely frozen or does it respond to pings etc?

Unfortunately X forwarding doesn’t work (as far as I can tell) with vulkan.
What I’ve been doing is using waypipe (which seems very stable), with xwayland-satellite (which is not so stable) on the remote end.
I’d also love persistent sessions, so I’ve been following wprs, but it doesn’t seem to support GPU drawing at all.
Lots of interesting tech, but it’s still pretty immature.
export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1
Like with X it’s not guaranteed to be that value, but same idea.


C at least has a preprocessor. C# has almost nothing except generators, which are a huge pain in the ass. Java seems to be similar.
Lisp is the greatest. Everything else is in between.


We should have tools and libraries that help us avoid boilerplate, not ones that help us write more of it.
It obviously won’t work for everyone, but for remote access I’ve been very impressed with waypipe. I use it to pull windows from headless machines onto my main workstation, like X forwarding.
I’d like something for persistence, like wprs, but it’s not quite there yet.
