Nope... last time i was on site was when we migrated data centers. a dozen racks.

There's another story about a game that died and was resurrected, Runescape. It launched with a big fanfare of version 3.0 back in 2008 and was met with total disaster. Fans were quitting, privat…

Another one I see is low end devices have a volume knob that instead of being a potentiometer are a rotary dial encoder so you end up usually only being able to adjust the volume as fast as it's …

Or until more rational covenants exist. Markets are largely rational economically.

I see the opposite economic problem. Guys in their 50s with a house for 120K and a 2.0 mortgage and no kids in the house or graduated cost less than a young junior with a wife and kids and a house

ok maybe you are zoomed to far in.

golang, rust, c++... etc?

Right but big robot arms do need to be reprogrammed. In short we traded higher throughput for less flexibility. Tooling and such is expensive and complicated. A sheet brake and a welder and a mill and…

perhaps congress could do something other than vacation

right, and one minute to the next a gun you bought could be a crime to own and land you in jail LOL. congress has abdicated its role entirely.

really? From what I have seen so far most of the contributions to xlibre have been cleaning up stuff thats been obviously wrong in xorg, and using tools - including AI and more bog standard tooling to…

Will xorg backport patches from Xlibre?

Odd because I'm wrapping up an app that uses Xaw. It should run on the billion or so machines that support X11

Claude has been doing this to me even without Fable, trying to write a Xaw frontend for the moc music player.
