Well platforms with CHAR_BIT != 8. In c and c++ char and there for byte is atleast 8 bytes not 8 bytes. POSIX does force CHAR_BIT == 8. I think only place is in embeded and that to some DSPs or ASICs like device. So in practice most code will break on those platforms and they are very rare. But they are still technically supported by c and c++ std. Similarly how c still suported non 2's complement arch till 2023.

Since cgnat means NATing a huge number of legimate device to a single ip. So angry users is the answer. Also note mobile users are usually the cgnat.
Re:Win32 is the stable Linux ABI

Well flatpak was started pre oci. But its core is is just ostree + bwrap. Bwrap does the sandboxing and ostree handles the storage and mount. Now there still a few more stuff but these 2 are the equivalent to docker. Bwrap is also used for steam and some other sandboxing usecases. Ostree is the core of fedora silverblue. Runtimes are special distros in a way, but since the official one are pretty building everything from source so the repos tend to be messy with buildscripts for everything.

Basically the scrappers do not bother to cache your website or if they do, with an insanely low ttl. Also they do not specialize the content. So the worst hit sites are something like git hosting due the bfs style scrape (every link). The worst part is alot of this is done via tunneling so ip can be different each time or from residential ops. Which makes it annoying.

We would need to mirror jax architecture more. Since the jax is sort of jit arch wise. Basically you somehow need a good way to convert computational graph to machine code while at compile time also perform a set of operations on the graph.

I mean there is a middle ground. LSP is good for coding a project. But I do agree with your point. What I generally do (as nvim user) reduces plugins to the bare minimum and try as much as possible to do progressive enhancement (atleast I try). Maybe as nvim improves LSP, I hope the diff between LSP and native methods are close enough that they both work.

I think the distinction is a soft fork or a hard fork. A soft fork is just a patchset over upstream and some people do not call it a fork. Hard fork mean that you are diverging from upstream, you do not longer follow upstream and you are fully separate from the upstream

Re:Improving Steam Client Stability on Linux

Upstream Kde is now making an arch based immutable distro too. As steamOS is already using kde and arch, maybe once the kde distro is release, steam will rebase on that instead. Also Valve is now funding Archlinux so they are commited to arch.
Re:Australia/Lord_Howe is the weirdest timezone
on Wednesday October 30, 2024 @07:50AM (#41993892)
Yep. And the logic can be made very easy. Outside polar regions or outer space, timezone could simply be the longitude/15 degrees rounded to a constant fraction. This is not perfect as cities maybe in 2 time zones but this basically a really good approximation.

Re:Modern C for Fedora (and the World)
on Friday December 22, 2023 @02:15AM (#38731759)
Well Clang also did this for clang 16 and tried to ship it with 16. Most of these were K&R C constructs that were deprecated in c89. c23 kinda removes and in one case even repurposes the code. So on GCC and Clang side, it was c23 compliance and on fedora and gentoo(which also helped) force by compiler defaults.

Google groups I can't comment but Github is a relative new thing. They were also still accepting patches on the mailing list(I believe the github pull request were mirrored to the ml or something like that). Bram was often replying to issues and pull request via email so github adoption doesn't seem to what Bram wanted. So no migration away from github.
