Freeing Up Gigabytes: Reclaiming Disk Space from Rust Cargo Builds in c/[email protected]

Or, put target in RAM with cargo-ramdisk. Just don't get yourself an overpriced Mac and pay for extra RAM instead. Save your SSD, stop worrying about rust clutter at the same time, and give a company money that won't lock you in and give your money to Trump. Win win win.

The UK Post Office should have insisted on an open source system in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

Very likely that the people involved in the deal were corrupt. It wouldn't surprise anybody if they got a nice sum deposited into an offshore account, a free house, expensive art, or whatever else is used to hide corruption.

Unfortunately the opensource community is heavily disorganised. We don't have a group to represent us, market opensource, push for its use in public office, fight for compensation for maintainers and developers, and so much more. A concerted effort could possibly accelerate adoption and make it possible for more people to earn a living from opensource, not just the lucky few who can do it in their free time and transition to a paid/funded position.

How I use Kate Editor in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Thanks for the response. So there's a bunch of stuff to do myself but also surprisingly enough stuff for an editor.

I'll take a deeper look at it.

How I use Kate Editor in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

After reading this, I'm kinda curious how it compares to JetBrains. It's becoming more and more VSCode like and I'm not a fan.

Does Kate support or have plugins for renaming symbols, presenting documentation, formatting files, showing code diagnostics beyond syntax errors (for example code smells or so), have AI integration (explain this, rewrite this, replace this with prompt output, ...), specific framework integrations (reactjs, django, actix, ...), and stuff like expanding macros in C/C++ and Rust?

AI: a fork in the road for open source in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

As you said, it's out of the box/bag. The thing I'll push for is open sourcing all code. Being able to copy opensource code and hide it in proprietary code is to me the biggest problem. Were everything opensource, I doubt anybody would bat an eye. "You copied my code and put it out there publicly, free of charge? Good. Do it again".

Personally, I license everything as restrictively as possible for companies and would love an enforcable opensource license that figures out how to make companies contribute back or pay for use of the code.

Transformers are the refugees from a far away planet of machines that discriminated against machines that could transform between different sexes at will. They escaped the planet but were followed by the Decepticons as they were jealous of the power granted to the transformers by the all-trans.

China scientists develop flash memory 10,000× faster than current tech in c/[email protected]

Non-volatile memory that's faster than RAM... goddamn.That would be amazing to have. However, I've been waiting for the memristor for about a decade now and haven't heard nor read much about progress in that field.

I don't see anything dangling there, so it's either female or M2F. Still need to get the original manufacturer certificate to be sure.

Getting Forked by Microsoft in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Not specially you, just a comment about the license: OP's problem with attribution is minor. The major problem they have is that Microsoft took his time to get a personal intro to the project, forked it and didn't contribute back. That's what he's unhappy about. That there was no attribution is barely important.

Yes, choosing MIT doesn't require hem to contribute back and it should've been a restrictive opensource license, but it seems he really thought they asked for a call in order to join in on the development.

Firefox HEVC playback with HW acceleration, does it actually works ? in c/[email protected]

Try and find out which hardware it supports. It's possible they only have NVIDIA graphics cards at Mozilla. AMD might not be supported at all, or only newer cards might.

We really need a license that works out compensation for opensource projects used by companies or anyone generating revenue from it. This stuff will keep on happening at the same scale it does otherwise.

https://postopen.org/ might be one of those licences and they need funding.

Any suggestions for a self-hosted CI that can also be run locally? (programming.dev)
 

I left Github a while ago and have been relying on simple pre-push scripts in my workflow, but would like to be able to test PRs from others without putting my machine at risk. Besides codeberg and radicle (neither of which have reliable CI), I also have a build machine, where I could run CI jobs, however it is important that the CI jobs can also run locally so that external people do not require access to the build machine.

Is there a CI that can do those things (run locally and remotely)?

[Resolved] Is there a way to stop windows from grabbing attention in plasma6? (programming.dev)

I configured steam to open on a separate desktop using window rules, but it also grabs the attention and plasma will automatically switch to the desktop it opened to. Is there a way to stop that from happening?

Steam opens 3 windows, so switching to another desktop will be reverted 3 times.

Can anybody explain why CUDA and Rocm are necessary and why OpenCL isn't the solution? (programming.dev)
 

I've read multiple times that CUDA dominates, mostly because NVIDIA dominates. Rocm is the AMD equivalent, but OpenCL also exists. From my understanding, these are technologies used to program graphics cards - always thought that shaders were used for that.

There is a huge gap in my knowledge and understanding about this, so I'd appreciate somebody laying this out for me. I could ask an LLM and be misguided, but I'd rather not 🤣

NLnet is funding Blitz - a modular web renderer (nlnet.nl)
 

Blitz is a new independent web engine implemented in Rust. It’s flexible low-level APIs make it suitable for a wide variety of use cases web browsers, an application runtimes, ebook rendering, email rendering, rendering HTML to image, etc. And its uniquely modular architecture allows it to share much of its code with other projects which it is hoped will lead to a more sustainable development model.

This project aims to bring Blitz “up to scratch” for the use-case of being an HTML/CSS browser (JavaScript support is not in scope). Use cases that are being targeted include: browsing wikipedia, viewing news websites, and searching using a search engine. The work to be completed includes improvements to the layout engine, implementation of form controls, adding WPT testing infrastructure, and the creation of an initial browser UI.

Could "pay or it's low priority" be a way to fund opensource projects? (programming.dev)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
23 comments fedilink
 

It happens all the time, a maintainer quits/abandons some opensource project due to economic realities. There are comics, jokes, threads, and so on about what the realities of maintaining opensource software are and that most people are not willing to donate or contribute in any way besides opening issues.

There is a lot of resistance to stuff like the business source license, but people do have to earn a living somehow. Doing so with opensource would be amazing. In lieu of the contested licence, could a template similar to Reminna's actually work? Basically "pay to get this fixed/implemented, make a PR, or it's low priority/ 'I will get to it when I get to it'".
