I had the privileged of seeing him deliver at Keynote at IEEE GlobeCom in 2019. He was funny, an amazing presenter, and very down to earth.
Re:Is it time for a new Embedded Linux build system? on Tuesday June 23, 2026 @01:50AM (#48640867)
Whilst I find yocto perfectly fine. I also see that it has its limitations. I think there is a need to make yocto more nimble rather than designing a whole new build system.

yoebuild does seem interesting at least as a proof-of-concept.

This honestly saddens me a little. From the PowerMac's to the MacPro I always loved them when having the opportunity to work with them. Plus I loved the expandability they offered.

I don't find the external GPU houses for Mac Studio as appealing to use.

As I understand it, it is just like in Opera. So a proxy not a VPN. I honestly find it distasteful that they may call it a VPN without it actually being one.
We did not get as recommend or required reading in a course. But the professor did recommend it to me outside of class.
Re:MacBook Neo on Thursday March 12, 2026 @01:18AM (#47346793)
I cannot believe I am saying this, but I am honestly thinking about getting one. So my iPad Pro is nice and I love my Mac Studio, but my MacBook Pro is out of support and installing Fedora Linux on it will be a hassle due to the touchbar from what I can tell. So I am actually in a marked for a laptop to just write on when I am on the go... The neo fits that spec perfectly....

Besides the the lack of a magsafe which I find essential for a kids laptop, I think it is perfect from a kid in the age 10-15... Unless they want to game of course.

If it has sufficient accuracy then this could be cool. But I want to see it battle tested before raising my arms to high
Re:Australia proposes ban on social media for those under 16 on Thursday November 07, 2024 @08:36AM (#42076517)
I agree with others whom see the identification problem. But I also think that it is a right step on the way to help improve the current situation

I cannot wait to show this to a colleague of mine. He will kill me XD
Having used both, I would be really sad if they switch to KDE. Based on my experience KDE cannot be considered stable. Additionally I feel Gnome have better UI and UX compared to KDE
Re:SeaMonkey All-in-One Internet Application Suite on Friday April 19, 2024 @01:16AM (#40083644)
I really like the concept of SeaMonkey, but the project needs some major UI updates and way more love to be relevant today.

Re:Abstract Methods and NotImplementedError in Ruby on Friday April 12, 2024 @02:05AM (#40009810)
I totally agree with this point of view
Seems nice, but are there any publicly available documentation to be able to evaluate its readiness and what languages are there libraries for? I may be blind but I cannot find any.

Re:Fast DataFrames for Ruby on Wednesday January 18, 2023 @02:34AM (#34424314)
- Because some like it better than Python/Julia/<INSERT NEXT language>. - Because they want data analytics in a ruby application - Because Ruby is awesome
Sadly I cannot share the code. But some COBOL code used for validation of financial transactions. It was crazy!
