Why was he ousted? The article says something about an antisemitism statement, but surely that’s not the whole of it.

1·4 days agoFor Zulip, I’ve only used it on the web. Apparently they have iOS, Android, Desktop, and Terminal clients.
For Matrix, there are many clients on all platforms, but none have ever stood out to me. Element is the official client, and it’s… fine I guess.
I love this, especially the criticism of the FSF.
For coms, Zulip seems OK. I would really like Matrix to take off, but I honestly don’t really like any of the clients.
The meaning of version numbers can vary across projects.
One common scheme is Semantic Versioning, which divides the version number into three parts:
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH*MAJORis incremented when there are backwards incompatible changes.MINORis incremented when new features are added in a backwards compatible way.PATCHis incremented for smaller big fixes.- Each number is reset to zero when a higher level number is incremented.
* It’s a bit more complex than this, but this is the gist.

2·2 months agoIn addition to questions of end-of-life, Existentialism also deals with questions of purpose-of-life. Which can be mind racking even if you’re not afraid of death.
Still not super interesting questions to me though.
I was gonna say this.
Existentialism is kinda boring IMO. But the philosophy of language, knowledge, and ethics are all super interesting.
Queen Latifah (Dana Elaine Owens) got her start as a rapper in the 1980s and began acting in the 1990s.
She is probably most known for her roles in Chicago, Hairspray, Bessie, and the Ice Age series.
These days, she stars on the CBS drama The Equalizer.
Damn. I never knew that these were mammals…
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted.
Surely Putin thinks that. It’s not true, but I’m sure he thinks Russia is that powerful.
Does that make this a proxy war?
Weird to think of Russia as a puppet in a proxy war. They used to be puppet masters but oh how the mighty have fallen.
How does Kodi compare to Jellyfin?
I use Android TV and Chrome on macOS as my primary clients, and Arch on my server with an Nvidia 1080Ti for transcoding.
OP here! People are rightfully pointing out that this can be compressed further.
My challenge to you: Implement a compressed representation along with the get_cell and set_cell methods, without resorting to lookup tables!

(And yeah, you need 12 or 13 bits, not 10, if you don’t want to eliminate symmetries.)
After two years of development and some deliberation, AMD decided that there is no business case for running CUDA applications on AMD GPUs. One of the terms of my contract with AMD was that if AMD did not find it fit for further development, I could release it. Which brings us to today.
This is a case for the cube rule!
Why does Google Slides only get 4/5 for compatibility?
It literally works on everything. I’m surprised LaTeX scored higher on compatibility, because the install process is heavy (8 GB or more, as you said) and you still have to configure afterwards (e.g. change to XeLaTeX for Unicode support.) IMO, Slides is a 5/5 and LaTeX is a 4/5, for compatibility.
EDIT: Also Google Slides works offline, and you can install it as a PWA by clicking a button in Chrome.
It was not Electron’s problem.
The problem was the extension architecture, that they leaned into heavily. It encouraged basically every part of the system to interact with every other part of the system, like having free reign over the whole DOM. That’s what the creators meant by a “hackable” editor.
VS Code is much faster, largely because of its much more sane extension architecture. Extensions are much better isolated, with a much smaller API surface by which they can interact with the editor. And the LSP design means core IDE-like features can be lifted into a privileged part of the system, and implemented once with performance in mind, while the actual analysis is done asynchronously in subprocesses.
If you actually use both Atom and VS Code configured to feature parity, you would notice that VS Code is miles ahead of Atom. Microsoft did an amazing job proving that you can build complex performant software on Electron.
Yes, Electron 2.0.0 was a great update, but it’s not the reason for performance. The reason was better software architecture.
Exactly.
Atom being open source was why I switched to it from Sublime.
Atom’s shitty performance was why I switched away to VS Code.
Do we actually need more food crops though?
I thought we already produced enough food to feed the whole planet. Distribution is the real problem.
Well, to follow version 3 of the GPL, you do actually need to provide effective root access.
Specifically, version 3 of the GPL adds language to prevent Tivoization.
It’s not enough to just provide the user with the code. The user is entitled to the freedom to modify that code and to use their modifications.
In other words, in addition to providing access to the source code, you must actually provide a mechanism to allow the user to change the code on the device.
The name “Tivoization” comes from the practice of the company TiVo, which sold set-top boxes based on GPL code, but employed DRM to prevent the user from applying custom patches. V3 of the GPL remedies this bug.
