Doesn't vi have to ship with the OS to adhere to POSIX or LSB certification?

Just like anything, the FOSS community is better off on its own. Grab a cheap second hand HMD (Rift DK1, DK2, Vive) and use OpenHMD. Yes you wont have...

I have absolutely no issue with adverts on websites, especially news sites. I even disable ublock for Phoronix to try to give something back.

I am sure many Linux users would update to 19.2.3, even if the emergency update hadn't been replaced just because "its newer!" XD

This is certainly not a bad thing, showing that Rust has some major merit. It *is* seen as a future competitor to C++ if some of these last remaining...

Don't think entirely of the latest and greatest. Wine can very happily play older titles (Digital preservation is one of Wines biggest benefits. It can...

In the ideal world, C shouldn't really be used directly from C++ (i.e not exception safe, no RAII mechanisms, doesn't follow same patterns, etc). So a...

Vulkan is great and all but for the *majority* of devices that cannot run Vulkan, it is great to have support from Wine D3D.

Does Vulkan...

Exactly. And does that compiler infrastructure provide a Rust compiler?

So in 20 years when LLVM is long in the tooth (and GCC is ancient...

You don't think in 20 years time there will be a new compiler infrastructure more flexible than LLVM? Guess you will have to wait and see ...

Same with C++.

You can grep your code for [, ], *
These lines are your explicitly marked unsafe code. You shouldn't need them in strict...

This same thing happens on Rust. Dereferencing a NULL pointer will also segfault that.

The main thing is that the pointer is NULL rather...

For me? Yes! PC, Android, Wii is just the initial platform list for our project. In the past we also supported the Flash VM via CrossBridge (Adobe's GCC...

All bindings end up in this state eventually. One of the single most important things about C and C++ is that you don't need bindings. Much less risk...

Its basically a reaction to the silly idea that everything should run in a web browser.

You will one day see browsers implemented in web...

Short answer; C

I know that maintaining an old C program in 20 years is possible. Maintaining a Vala or Python 3.x program once those languages...

I agree but if you want a homogeneous, clean environment... simply don't use Gnome, it is a sinking ship. After all, these are the same guys who dragged...

What about sites that are slow by design? i.e sites running from my home / consumer internet connection are not exactly going to be fast, and yet great...

I am fairly interested in what the most used distros are. It seems very difficult to get good data on this. I am predicting based on my general feel of...
