Weethet··on Apple's Favoritism to Fastmail
For example a relatively modern email protocol: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8621.html
Weethet··on Apple's Favoritism to Fastmail
FastMail is using JMAP, a protocol designed to support push notifications. MXRoute is stuck with SMTP/IMAP which don't support those. There might be a different reason, but I think this is probably the core issue here
Weethet··on OSS Rebuild: open-source, rebuilt to last
This is an issue with nixpkgs not nix. Google could've just bootstrapped their own nixpkgs from scratch if they wanted to, see Guix (not a perfect example but still). Creating a whole new tool is still completely unnecessary
Weethet··on OSS Rebuild: open-source, rebuilt to last
nixpkgs already has 107158 packaged libraries/executables. Nix has infrastructure to support arbitrary build systems and can create docker images. I fail to see any advantages of creating a more narrow version of it that has fewer uses and has to start from scratch
Weethet··on A new definition of open-source AI could clarify an industry debate
So, according to this definition, neither Mistral nor Facebook provide open-source models? Finally, they would need to stop calling their models open-source?
Weethet··on Pragtical: Practical and pragmatic code editor
Yeah, for me too. It looks incredibly broken as of right now and I don't even understand how. I'd say that it's okay if it was an alpha of a completely new editor, but it's a fork of a one that already works well, so idk, I don't expect it to go anywhere
Weethet··on Debugging Rust with Miri
Hey, thanks a lot for the reply. I have just moved from go where there is (still a binary though), but an amazing debugger, offering great experience, with lldb on the other side not able to even expand a enum correctly
