Re:I Switched to Firefox and Never Looked Back

Agreed Chrome is good on mobile. But I can't stand browsing without uBlockOrigin or dark reader. Plus URL bar on the bottom in Firefox is brilliant.
Re:A good day to trie-hard: saving compute 1% at a time

Given it's such a hot part of their code, I'm genuinely surprised they didn't go down the state machine route for as optimal a solution, or even further and made use of vector instructions. Maybe Rust can autovectorise the code though.

I've not heard of rqlite, but raft is a popular consensus algorithm used by several quite a few notable systems including CockroachDB, MongoDB, RabbitMQ.

I mainly use Plex, but the key benefits are that it remembers what you've watched, allows for multiple accounts, allows for easily continuation of a film or series without having to remember what time/episode you were on.
Also allows for easy remote viewing.

C family here refers to syntax style. In this case the general use of curly braces to denote blocks and often semicolons to denote end of statements. Another example of such a family would be the ML language family with languages like Haskell and F Sharp.

Re:Rocky strikes back at Red Hat
on Saturday July 01, 2023 @03:20AM (#36547610)
This is a weird take. Nothing Oracle did was wrong. RedHat's model can be used by anyone, why shouldn't another company make use of the source's? It's the risk of the model RedHat has gone for and also RedHat has added clauses to they're terms preventing resharing of sources which is against GPL.

Given Google have made their TPUs for machine learning and Tensor processors for phones it may be possible they are investigating it. AMD is killing it though from the server side so it's hard to justify your own CPUs right now.

Re:Tips on adding JSON output to your CLI app
on Sunday December 05, 2021 @04:47PM (#29453649)
Grep is for simple text, jq allows much more powerful searching/selection.
Don't get me wrong, I believe it should be a choice and not force JSON on users, but for some it's useful.
