It was actually 3gb because operating systems have to reserve parts of the memory address space for other things. It’s more difficult for all 32bit operating systems to address above 4gb just most implemented additional complexity much earlier because Linux runs on large servers and stuff. Windows actually had a way to switch over to support it in some versions too. Probably the NT kernels that where also running on servers.

A quick skim of the Wikipedia seems like a good starting point for understanding the old problem.

It is. Until recently it actually still used the domain to serve assets.

As a pedestrian in one of the mentioned cities, this is accurate. We have an ok bus network but the schedules are terrible and getting around on foot is dangerous and it’s like 100 degrees out with 90% humidity. Very few people put up with it and literally no one will because of this.

Feels like the old php metric. PHP had a ton of great code and successful projects but it also attracted very bad devs as well as very inexperienced devs leading to a real quality problem.

Honestly kinda see thing in a lot of JavaScript applications these days. Brilliant code but also a ton of bad code to the point I get nervous opening a new project.

My point? It may be a tough pill but it’s not the project framework that makes projects fail, it’s how the project is run.

neclimdul ,

No it’s a set of tools you can use to run a project.

My point is that a lot of people use “agile” to mean not planning or don’t put guard rails on scope and they fail. That’s not agile, it’s just bad PM

I’ve seen a lot of contractors over promising timelines too. “No matter how hard you push and no matter what the priority, you can’t increase the speed of light.”

But yeah exactly.

Is musk really intelligent? He’s not dumb but honestly seems like most of his success is from buying things and or getting smart people under him who are able to succeed despite his medlling. The ideas he forces through tend to be bad. Giga factory was largely a disaster and he had to relearn manufacturing. Giga casting? Dead. A lot of the super heavy stuff he’s directly influenced failed or are drawing out the timeline as the struggle to address. Cybertruck and semi…

I don’t know. The sensor stuff sounds pretty gross but the assistants are already listening all the time so they probably got a good understanding of the battery usage and hopefully privacy and later they point out they’ve made significant battery life improvements.

The Bluetooth find my device stuff is icky but I’m using my Bluetooth basically 24/7 so the auto re-enable settings means nothing to me. I honestly think most people turn it off and get annoyed later when it’s not on so that’s probably a pretty compelling improvement for them.

There were some security wins too like the private app area, encrypted network controls and network monitor warnings.

So privacy dead? No it’s basically the same. kinda just another megh update from Android. Moving forward but not wowing anyone. Google is too busy putting all their resources into ruining their trusted search reputation by making it lie to everyone to invest in a real android update.

I wish someone would shake up the phone market again so we could look forward to these updates again.

neclimdul ,

The sensor stuff for the adaptive vibration? The first screen in that section of the video is a big feature card like they put in the upgrade tours which let’s you turn it on or off.

I’ve had to entirely wipe my kde config folder enough times because I dragged a widget and created phantom toolbars taking up space I couldn’t interact with or completely broken toolbars that I just don’t have the patience to use it anymore.

Not specific to AI but someone flat out told me they didn’t even run the code to see it work. They didn’t understand why I would or expect that before accepting code. This was someone submitting code to a widely deployed open source project.

So, I would expect the answer is yes or very soon to be yes.

Seen a small company share a nextcloud server running on a old VMware cluster with 2 cores and like 8g of ram allocated… What are people doing with their nextcloud servers?

Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking, and color-coding of employees (arstechnica.com)

This sounds like a recipe for malicious compliance if I ever heard it.

Some of us remember win modems and their ability to kill your computer by tying your network performance to your CPU usage. Good times…

neclimdul ,

It’s a pretty mixed bag honestly. Sure there are some apps that we get in a mammoth poorly made appimage we’d probably have to have run in wine before or some terrifying statically compiled program embedded in a run script and that’s probably a win.

The trade-off is every developer being their own distro maintainer, 100s of gigs of duplicate dependencies, broken containers with missing libraries, leaky requirements on the underlying system, and everyone needs to be a security expert to understand all the options in flatseal to expose the right features.

Also, instead of one distro source, I’ve got at least 3 and I’ve in the last week had to install programs from multiple sources trying to get a functioning version. This feels like the norm rather than an exception.

Also this week had an app image broken by a requirement on a removed system library outside the app and a flatpak missing a key library forcing me to dig up an old .deb version. The later I lost like 6hrs on because clearly libusb was installed on the system but I didn’t realize I’d installed the flatpak and in wasn’t in the container. Such fun.

So it’s not really all sunshine and rainbows yet.

Fwiw, this is not an endorsement of Windows. I strongly believe if most people spent half the time they spent fighting Windows learning Linux they’d never go back.

neclimdul ,

Oh I didn’t consider deleting my answers. Thanks for the good idea Barbra StackOverflow.

neclimdul ,

IANAL but I thought removing non-PII mostly boiled down to risk since gdpr has big teeth. With a lot of money on the table and a licence attached to post they may feel it’s worth pursuing. They’ve probably been setting up protections for this for a while.

neclimdul ,

I’m ashamed… It’s simply “bump deps”

Did I also touch some code and tests connected to dependency updates. Yes.

Did I document any of that? No.

Did I spend more time writing this comment the thinking about the commit. Most definitely.

Will I be bisecting to this commit after our next deploy and cursing at myself? Probably.

neclimdul ,

You make a good point but I think farmers get to see this thing called the sun. I hear it’s pretty neat but I wouldn’t know myself.

neclimdul ,

That’s technically true but not the whole picture since it was missing huge (some would say basic) features I wouldn’t say it was really “released”

It was quite a while after that they called it and it’s libraries feature of complete. With wm DE integration and multiple monitors coming a while after that, it’s only been in the last maybe 5 years it was really usable? A solid option for a lot of people for maybe half that?

That makes it pretty dang new.

neclimdul ,

It was the baseline so… Yes?

The feature completion was defined as running most normal applications and by the people working on Wayland not me some random guy on the Internet.

Because no one is going to use Wayland, if they can’t… use it

neclimdul ,

It sounds like a joke but as another senior dev, one of the big lessons I’ve learned is getting really good at capturing all the requests that come in and who approved them.

It’s a bit of cya, but mostly so I can say “I can change that but it’s not a bug. It’s what was requested for this to do last year. Here’s the discussion” It’s surprising how often that results in “Oh yeah, that was for x. Let’s not touch it.” Or “oh that’s not a quick fix, let me come back with more information” etc

Looking for FOSS GitHub Client

I’ve been looking around for a good GitHub client on my degoogled phone, but have had trouble finding a still-maintained one that’s ready to use. I find that I just default to opening URLs in Fennec, which is far from ideal as I have to load the whole website (and it’s quite laggy on my Pixel 3a). So I turn to Lemmy: what...

neclimdul ,

I got a really good one from git-scm.com. literally every feature you can imagine including a bunch the official GitHub tools don’t even support.

I feel like OP has his own definition for “tbh” in this comic,

Thanks Aaron Swartz! Reddit might not be working out but RSS has the staying power.

neclimdul ,

Thanks for that.

Its a weird that the couldn’t just choose to back port the fixes that have security implications even if it wouldn’t deserve a cve.

neclimdul ,

I want a upvote for sharing, down vote the concept button. I hate it.

As much as I hate it, think it’s a terrible part for a free, open, and secure web; it’s probably a solid business move based on the hype.

neclimdul ,

Obviously. I’ve just got two emotions about the content I want to show.

neclimdul ,

🤦

neclimdul ,

Also the part where Twitter has invested in s tier lawyers and brought and iron clad contract that heavily favored them. Which being an entitled idiot he agreed to. So when he tried to back out he literally couldn’t afford the penalties because he didn’t have enough cash and getting it would loose him control of his companies.

Definitely not him being dumb and entitled. Surely it was a petty $50k grudge.

neclimdul ,

INAL but my understanding was a lot of the fines and penalties hung on IE being part of the OS. I think it was the update functionality but don’t quote me.

So with some legal technicalities, later versions of windows made it “not” part of the OS just a bundled application. A legal distinction without meaning but it meant they didn’t need to do these things anymore.

neclimdul ,

Maybe, but I do believe at least then being aspirationaly not evil made it a much different company. It made people try to be better both in and outside google even if at some level it was still a big corp doing big corp things.

Whatever it is now is a boring husk of what it was and I think you can draw a line from that to those naive people and their belief in that principle trying to make awesome things and a better world.

Maybe that’s just me looking back with rose colored glasses though.

After waiting for the page to load, fighting through ads triggering redraws, dismissing cookie banners, closing the notification request…

It’s a toss up.

1 of 4 comments addressed. You showed me 😁

I prefer privacy badger because it does more then block ads and is generally a bit nicer to sites.

But really it was supposed to be a satirical comment on the state of the web anyways.

neclimdul ,

I don’t know if there could have been a comment that sums up the problem. To this person Netflix is no longer a product; it’s not about the best content or the best experience anymore. It’s about getting your buck.

Netflix used to have the best content online at the best price. It now has neither and I don’t know how anyone still rationalizes subscribing.

neclimdul ,

Are they in front of green screens? Did he not even bother to come into the office to record this?

neclimdul ,

Also twitch. Yuck…

Probably some great devs on the market for anyone hiring though.
