How about an actually useful installer that isn't so brittle that it can potentially break on any single or combination of non-default but otherwise valid...

[stormcrow]

This is correct. Soon as they started trying to scale performance up to normal server loads and tasks (eg nginx, postgresql, etc) for ARM CPUs the performance...

[stormcrow]

It really isn't convincing enough. For one reason, you're not running into ram limits on RPis yet. They may have other reasons dealing with performance...

[stormcrow]

Meanwhile another (relatively minor, imo) problem shows up with Pi4s. Apparently 2560x1440 resolution output clobbers the 2.4 GHz wifi connection. 5...

[stormcrow]

If you're doing anything other than ML algorithms, apparently so. At least if you're going high end with Threadripper. With gaming rigs and general...

[stormcrow]

As long as the mix ingredients don't reduce entropy (which I don't think is actually possible), anyone relying on /dev/urandom at startup would be no...

[stormcrow]

And this is likely still just the tip of the iceberg. Researchers are concentrating on Intel because of huge invested interests- data centers from Google...

[stormcrow]

I'm glad I don't work on the Intel Xe team. If they don't turn out something price/performance competitive with AMD/Nvidia nearest equivalent in current...

[stormcrow]

It is an acronym. "Gnu Image Manipulation Project" AKA GIMP. FWIW, there's far more likely to be people considering it a sexual fetish thing...

[stormcrow]

You do realize you just described every Unix and Unix-like that's ever been created? Ah the engineer's toolbox: duct tape, bailing wire, and bubble...

[stormcrow]

So business as usual. If you don't believe me, do a dive into the USB driver code someday. The number of workarounds for nonstandard, partly broken,...

[stormcrow]

Agreed. Undocumented functions in the Windows sphere are usually undocumented because they're not meant to be used by anyone outside of Microsoft. Subject...

[stormcrow]

Red Hat's RPM team: Challenge accepted. Hold my beer......

[stormcrow]

Well if you're going to argue semantics, how's this instead: The changes introduce NEGLIGIBLE performance changes with the AMD CPUs tested. The only...

[stormcrow]

You CAN obfuscate, and there's literally more tools out there to DEobfuscate Javascript than there are to obfuscate in the first place. You can be deliberately...

[stormcrow]

You mean like... Javascript? You're going to have the same problem with any Turing complete language. I have yet to see a use case in favor of WASM...

[stormcrow]

They aren't:



That's from the linked Valve statement (emphasis mine). All they are doing is working on compatibility issues...
