mike256··on Dioxus: User interfaces that run anywhere
Also <2mb doesn't really seem lightweight to me...
mike256··on Cloudflare servers don't own IPs anymore so how do they connect to the internet?
Wouldn't it be better when all those big CDNs just switch off IPv4 and force the sleeping ISPs to enable IPv6? Maybe we should introduce some IPv6 only days as a first step...
mike256··on Demo of =GPT3() as a spreadsheet feature
Do I understand that correctly? When I have to create a spreadsheet like this, there are 2 options. Option 1 I write a table zipcode to state and use this table to generate my column. If I carefully check my table my spreadsheet would be okay. Option 2 I ask GPT3 to do my work. But I have to check the whole spreadsheet for errors.
mike256··on Ubuntu 22.10 Kinetic Kudu
I switched to Debian. Still able to use most of the debs but without those Snaps.
mike256··on The AT Protocol
I dont think so. It should not be named AT Protocol... :-(

mike256··on Linux NILFS file system: automatic continuous snapshots
About 2 years ago I believed the same. Then I used BTRFS as a store for VM images (with periodoc snapshot) and performance went down to really really bad. After I deleted all snapshots performance was good again. There is a big performance penalty in btrfs with more than about 100 snapshots.
mike256··on You can't buy a Raspberry Pi right now
Some kind of weird browser configuration? I see black font on white background...
mike256··on A surprising way to lose your files on Windows
I don't think this makes it any better. Imho "any changes you make will be lost" would mean to move the files back to where they were before and not delete them.
mike256··on Falsehoods programmers believe about email
All true until it comes to outlook.com and your sent mail just vanishes without any error. It just accepts the mail but doesn't deliver. Not in Inbox, not in Junk.
mike256··on Having, a less understood SQL clause
RANK is a good example of a useful less known window function. Please also consider dense_rank and row_number. All 3 have their advantages and disadvantages... (Rank leaves holes after rows with the same order, dense_rank gives consecutive numbers, row_number just numbers the rows.)
mike256··on How did REST come to mean the opposite of REST?
We use the old REST a lot and call that what you name "new REST" Json-RPC. What's so difficult about naming things what they are? I mean Devs do have some brain. That's why we are able to write cool software. But then why are some of us too stupid to get that REST thing right?
mike256··on How did REST come to mean the opposite of REST?
That's simply wrong!
mike256··on How did REST come to mean the opposite of REST?
This is about REST, not RPC.
mike256··on Lenovo shipping new laptops that only boot Windows by default
For a non Windows Fanboy. No this is not acceptable and sure is a story!
mike256··on GitHub user sends notification to 400k users
Most probably Outlook! Imho the worst e-mail client on earth with a massive base of absolutely blind fanboys in almost every company...
mike256··on Food Packaging
Here in Switzerland healthcare is pretty much broken when it comes to prices. Everything is pretty expensive. But is it broken like in the US? No way! Our healthcare works very well and its prices are okay ;-)
mike256··on United flies passenger flight on sustainable aviation fuel supplying one engine
Doesn't need both engines to fly...
mike256··on Which is not Posix
Linux from Scratch has a very tiny implementation suitable for all systems that have bash installed:

  #!/bin/bash
  type -pa "$@" | head -n 1 ; exit ${PIPESTATUS[0]}
Just save it as which, chmod +x and add to path.

mike256··on x86 assembly doesn’t have to be scary (2018)
I think it's much easier to begin with x86. Especially when the assembled code is being run the way it is on this website. x64 is a little harder because just the switch to x64 mode alone almost fills the boot sector.
mike256··on Modifying the Linux Kernel – New Syscalls
Synology is a bad example. Many of their custom syscalls are related to filesystem things like btrfs raid5 self repair and carefully removed from their gpl source code. Ianal but imho this is a gpl violation.
mike256··on Intel to build Qualcomm chips, aims to catch foundry rivals by 2025
At least they name it Intel 7, Intel 4, ... And don't add missleading 'nm' to their names. Imho much better as what the other ones are doing.
mike256··on Building Outer Wonders for Linux
well you don't even need a container just the libs and a lillte in some directory and you have to learn a little about cross-compilation.
mike256··on Gandi.net was under DDoS
Cloudflare, the solution for no problem... I don't believe in DDOS without any proof. Imo they just have some performance problems to solve. I think the DDOS would magically stop after Database Maintenance on Jan 25.
mike256··on Linux 5.10 BTRFS performance regression
That's the problem with btrfs. Raid5/6 still isn't production ready and loses data with cheap consumer ssd which could to disappear/reappear in a running system. On the other side raidz/z2 works rock solid. Of course I could use btrfs with mirrors instead but that's the reason why I use cheap consumer ssds. I can't spend that much money just to use btrfs so I stay with zfs.
mike256··on Linux 5.10 BTRFS performance regression
As every patch nowadays means that yet another symbol gets his gpl-only tag, no I don't report bugs...
