At the complete other end there is this art piece which should contain a total of $84,000 in Danish kroner and euros, but contains a grand total of $0:
Having a controversial reputation in leader is not always a bad thing, look at Theo De Raadt or Linus Totvald.
It’s seem to have already attracted contributors, but let’s see how all of this goes in the next’s months.
There are different kinds of "controversial" and degrees of things. While you're correct that both Torvalds and de Raadt have a well-earned reputation for not always being the easiest person to get along with, most of their controversial behaviour centres around flaming people over technical matters, or sometimes organisational matters directly related to the project. Basically: it's not what they're saying, it's how they're saying it.
I've never seen either Torvalds or de Raadt go off on these mega-weird political rants completely unprompted, or inject that sort of thing in the project's README. Never mind going off on rants that smell an awful lot like Nazi apologetics. This is not just a matter of "how they're saying it", there are some real issues with what they're saying as well.
But you know, it's open source. He doesn't need mine or anyone else's permission. More power to him.
But it's really not the same as Torvalds or de Raadt. And it's also not so strange people want to steer clear of it.
It’s more a criticism of breaking certain things, which is inevitable when your try to refactor something. The matter is in the end if the behavior remain the same when you finish.
But it’s just a supposition at this stage, let’s see on the next’s month if it a complete mess or if it’s the XFree86 to Xorg transition
And then I recall that experiment in which an LLM trained to spew out garbage insecure code started to behave like a garbage insecure edgelord personality too.
i don't know about you, but i generally do not want to work with people whose political beliefs include that my country is illegitimate or that hitler's rise to power was caused by the polish and the british doing bad things to the germans.
This is exactly the problem with xorg right now and why the woke crowed wants to kill it. You people new to the community have no idea how actually diverse it is. Yes odds are you haven't been involved since the 90s. Let people think what they want or you should go use Microsoft Google or Apple products and be told how to think and feel. Like the poster said below its about the code not what people believe. Funny how RiserFS wasnt an issue but this day in age it would be.
There is also no other place that will just implement conversions between utf formats, compression in hardware or various hashed and other crypto in hardware like they do.
Yeah there are some of those, but IBM has stuff like Ed25519 signatures, x86 at least seems to be a bit on the back foot when it comes to implementing things like that. They will probably rather wait until AES is popular before they add it.
Modern consoles provide hardware decompression to transfer compressed assets from the NVME directly to the GPU. Similar functionality is coming to PCs in the form of DirectStorage and Vulkan extensions.
Yeah the newest PlayStation have a hardware implementation of Oodle which is really cool. Z/Arch have a inflate/deflate implementation which makes it a bit more general than the texture decompression.
I was interested in zed as I was looking for a performant VSCode replacement, but its inability to fully remove AI integration and disable the prominent sign-in button made me lose any interest. Judging by the project’s response or lack of it on these topics, I am worried about adopting zed in my workflows.
Its a small button in the top right corner. Very oit of the way unless interacted with. I use zed because its faster and cleaner than vscode. I dont want AI in my editor.
I enjoyed the book he co-wrote: "Would You Baptize an Extraterrestrial?: ...and Other Questions from the Astronomers' In-box at the Vatican Observatory"
