desiderantes··on Replacing Protobuf with Rust
That never happens. Instead, it always attracts the opposite group, the Rust complainers, where they go and complain about how "the everything-in-rust-is-better crowd created yet another fake headline to pretend that Rust is the panacea". Which results in a lot of engagement. Old ragebait trick.
desiderantes··on ElementaryOS – Thoughtful, capable and ethical replacement for Windows/macOS
One of the two founders. The other one is Danielle Foré, still running the project.
desiderantes··on HTML-in-Canvas
They said that those kind of sites sucked. Common or not.
desiderantes··on eBPF: Connecting with Container Runtimes
Hi, this is a nonsensical reply, as the sentence is lacking a few words to be complete. Are you using some kind of AI to answer? If so, which one?
desiderantes··on Brazil's government-run payments system has become dominant
So you wrote this new scenario where the parking ticket machine does NOT print a ticket unless you confirm it (after you already pressed the button)? And you get... mildly inconvenienced by some honking. Yeah you shouldn't drive.
desiderantes··on Intelligence Evolved at Least Twice in Vertebrate Animals
Please go back to your resting place, Mr Lamarck.
desiderantes··on Brazil's government-run payments system has become dominant
Perhaps if you get confused by fast things you shouldn't be driving?
desiderantes··on The HTTP Query Method (IETF Draft)
Sad to still have this as a draft
desiderantes··on Apple is open sourcing Swift Build
So you haven't heard of Kotlin Multiplatform.
desiderantes··on Translating 10M lines of Java to Kotlin
Scala and Groovy were big pushes for Java 7/8. Their hypes died down after that release.
desiderantes··on Rider is now free for non-commercial use
Doing charity work does not mean you don't expect to be paid for your regular work. Also, a lot of companies do pay devs to work on open source projects.
desiderantes··on Sqlc: Compile SQL to type-safe code
Oh, so it's jOOQ but for Go. Nice. Sadly it does not support most custom Postgres things.
desiderantes··on Undefined behavior in C is a reading error (2021)
C++ is a separate language with a separate standard.
desiderantes··on Microsoft's latest security update has ruined dual-boot Windows and Linux PCs
I don't think anyone is booting grub or refind in a way that you would notice on public.
desiderantes··on GitHub Copilot is not infringing your copyright (2021)
I think that the author has a warped idea of how LLMs work, and that infects its reasoning. Also, I see no mention of the inequality of this new "copyright free code generation" situation it defends; As much as Microsoft thinks all code is ripe for taking, I can't imagine how happy they would be if an anonymous person drops a model trained on all leaked Windows code and the ReactOS people start using it. Or if employees start taking internal code to train models that they then use after their employment ends (since it's not copyright infringement, it should be cool).
desiderantes··on Leaving Rust gamedev after 3 years
That logo is huge on mobile so I can't read the first few bullet points.
desiderantes··on Show HN: Libmui is a macOS Classic widget lib for Linux
Very apt username
desiderantes··on C23: A Slightly Better C
Vala?
desiderantes··on Scalar: Generate interactive API documentations from Swagger files
Awesome! I recently encountered the need of expanding a Spring Boot Admin instance to offer OpenAPI docs for custom Spring Boot Actuator endpoints which are in their own group, hidden from the main API. As SBA requires custom views to be Vue.js components, this will probably fit pretty nicely.
desiderantes··on Is ORM still an anti-pattern?
This is why I moved to jOOQ years ago. Nice lean abstraction over SQL, to the point where it's just a typesafe SQL builder and also does the mapping to domain objects if you want. Abstracts and polyfills SQL capabilities just enough for you to be able to port your queries between DBs if desired.
desiderantes··on A new CMake Scripting Language?
It's 2022. Why would I learn even more horrible CMake instead of just going full Meson? Looks like it's the same cognitive cost, but no gains by staying on CMake.
desiderantes··on Podman Desktop Companion GUI – Parity on All Major Operating Systems
It's not free if you're in a decently sized company, that's the whole point of the Docker controversy.
desiderantes··on Apple's M1 Ultra comes with a 32MB TLB bottleneck
I know this is pretty common in hn, but you need to remember that the US is just one country, and not even the most populous country, in this world.
desiderantes··on Elementary OS is imploding
Keep in mind that the author is not neutral here: Since he's expressed his position against trans people, and by doing that parted ways with Danielle Foré before (who previously identified as Daniel Foré and participated in his youtube videos), and also you can see that it refuses to use the actual name for Danielle; it's not surprising that he wants to reach a conclusion against her.
desiderantes··on PipeWire 0.3.46
Is there any pipewire-audioflinger compat layer?
desiderantes··on Apple’s $13k operating system (2013)
Internet was shit until it got its own VisiCalc: online advertising. After the dotcom bubble it was the only area that held well enough and could take advantage of the newfound aversion to paying for stuff online.
desiderantes··on Giant, free index to world's research papers released online
There are people out there gifting their IP to companies? What a crazy world.
desiderantes··on Why Firefox has been in decline for 12 years
Both.
desiderantes··on JPEG XL
Wonky comparison, as plagiarism involves claiming authorship/evading citing, not literally copying text and keeping it somewhere else. I CAN go and copy text from any textbook into my notebook without consequences, why couldn't I download a copy of an image?
desiderantes··on Advice from a 104-year-old PhD student [video]
Colombia has a huge range of climates. His city, Medellin, is a bit chillier than what you would expect.
