I think it's saner to be literal here. Reference counting is a way to automatically collect garbage for you. Why shouldn't it be called a GC then?

Electric Miata when?

This doesn't look like it has wired support?

Do you just want to use "sets of haplogroups with similar phenotype" instead? I mean, you can argue all day that the existence of the orange color somehow means that there's no difference between yellow and red, but you're just going to look foolish.

Which is kinda ironic because Toyota is probably the only one that did hybrid from the ground up with their HSD transmission.

For decoding, yes, dav1d. But for encoding, a lot more SIMD kernels in libaom/SVT-AV1 written by other people.

(And lots of kernel shared between decoding and encoding, of course)

The third for me is that LLM usage has exploded for the development of core Julia itself (just look at the PRs).

Yes, but for speed which means a lot of SIMD plumbing, the larger workforce certainly benefited AV1 codecs!

Sorry for the dumb question, but I don't understand something in these graphs. Since it's x=speed and y=bd-r, is this test done at a fixed target quality/size?

What do you think about the fact that most perceptual quality improvements in SVT-AV1 have been almost only driven by external, non-paid enthusiasts such as yourself while the maintainers have been basically only targeting VoD and RTC?

Compared to JXL (which admittedly has almost nobody working on except veluca these days...) which was focused on it since the beginning, I think it really matters.

Wait... SVT-AV1 doesn't support anything else than 4:2:0, right? Kinda biases the comparison here.

Bubblewrap is a CLI interface for these, you know? It's been some time since bwrap recommended avoiding their SUID wrapper.

Same except for Steam. Hope this money revitalizes bubblewrap's development, it'd be nice to get proper signal handling cleanup up then merged (even util-linux's unshare has it, these days).

I wasn't when I saw they made the exact same stupid error as Python: if and switch are statements, so that you need a stupid ternary operator to do the same.

You seem to be ignoring that most people who want off the infernal npm/cargo hamster wheel are conscious that it implies a bit of spoilt milk or moldy bread in exchange for stability and that they're fine with it.

The gains are just too numerous and important to reject the few rust spots on a "good enough" stdlib.

But well, the kind of people who nod a bit too much while reading https://boringtechnology.club/ aren't using Rust. They're on C99, ANSI CL, Ada, maybe Python, Perl or Tcl.

Please, for your own sake and that of your ideals, don't fall into a Disney adult mentality of "these are bad guys who are clearly against Truth and Good^tm!" just because righteousness feels good. This falls under underestimating your enemy and never serves the people embracing said feeling.

Well, not that important to me since we already had that in Vapoursynth.

I find it very easy to solve some of these physics questions by thinking about a degenerate version of it instead, with exaggerated parameters (since these physics phenomenons are described by continuous/monotonic functions).

So for the bowling ball, I replace it with an imaginary marble weighing 1 ton and the answer is now self-evident.

This article's comment section made me discover the hilarious "No crying in the casino" meme words, thanks.

Keyword: linked. Who would have thought that people with happy and fulfilling lives have something else to do than being online?

That guy is stupid, the part of human nature containing dishonesty also houses "following the path of least resistance", which means that these people will simply contribute to another leading compiler without these rules.

So the real question is: what's LLVM policy?

CL-PPCRE actually doesn't really do what most people think it does, cf https://applied-langua.ge/posts/omrn-compiler.html#orgd52b4a... (which instead does).

A small tidbit: you don't actually need full syntactic macros to get compile time computation in CL, compiler macros (https://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/03_bb...) suffice.

(Reasonable) Good faith at the individual level is a good thing, but when trying to scale it and build a working socialist system out of it, you're 100% set for failure.

The idea that "hard work, discipline, frugality" are Calvinist and Protestant inventions may be the most preposterous thing I've read today. As if the rest of the world or previous eras valued self-indulgence and wasteful lavishness.

Or that an unproductive member of society wasn't always scorned or at least viewed negatively by those having to produce.

Of course nobody sane wants something like this to happen. The problem isn't the people unable to make ends meets, it's the unwilling.

I'm 500 km away in Hérault and this morning was a tad hazy with smoke from there! Impressive I'd say.

While I must sadly agree with your usage of "most people", I still don't understand why you thought it changed anything to the original claim that there is still a need for music piracy (for the aforementioned people who care). And note that I didn't pick particularly obscure artists, we're talking 10~100k ratings/followers on RYM.

> Oh please, spare me the condescending bullshit.

Why would I?

https://nicotine-plus.org/ for the free software/UNIX people, by the way.

I don't use it anymore since getting into private trackers because the network (central server) is proprietary, the experience is much less polished than BT and I want to be sure of the release (LABEL/CATALOGNUMBER) I'm downloading.

> I'd wager that pretty much anything that most people want to listen to is on music streaming sites

If you have simple tastes, easily accept holes in their catalog and don't care about being served butchered "remasters". People who actually care don't use Netflix/Spotify.

Some examples: Melvins' Lysol is (famously) only available on Apple Music and for good measure I just looked right now at Spotify's page for Midori (https://open.spotify.com/artist/1Qjrx8NtccILLfR3wh1u3o) and it has neither their First EP nor Second LP (https://www.discogs.com/artist/777727-Midori-3); I didn't even choose or try multiple artists, I simply wondered "hmmm, is Midori on Spotify?".

Worthless.
