Obama has been President for 7 years, during which time he has consistently supported and expanded the programs started during the Bush presidency. In my view this makes him as culpable as anyone for the position that we are at today. George Bush may have started these programs but he isn't the one launching attacks on the tech industry today.
Not only that but there's a bug between Gmail and Firefox that causes gmail to freeze on "Loading ..." after a while and not update anymore. I believe that's what GP is referring to and it is infuriating.
It's depressing. I switched back from Chromium to Firefox and been getting tons of small issues like this...
This just doesn't mean anything to us given that these issues have been talked about for much, much, much longer than a single month. Why is a random GitHubber telling us this and not someone in a more authoritative position? It seems painfully obvious to tell people you're working on it, and I think it's perfectly reasonable to worry when you hear literally /nothing/.
Yeah, if they're talking about what I think they're talking about, yes, something like LINQ could be implemented with macros (compiler plugin variant, I think) in Rust.
I like writing Rust for more reasons that CPU efficiency.
In fact, that's behind: strong memory safety, Option/no-null (probably lumps in with "strong memory safety") and of course generics and the type system at large.
The speed is honestly a nice benefit. (I'm not being sassy, I don't have speed intensive applications and still reach for Rust).
Oy vey folks, why not Google LVFS to see why it's interesting.
There's a new CLI tool and dbus api for discovering and installing firmware updates that are securely hosted by redhat. There is also native support in GNOME Software for surfacing the updates and making them available.
This means on a Dell server, you literally type: `fwupdmgr update` and all possible firmware is updated.
So literally every comment in the thread so far is missing the point. This doesn't require shelling in, putting it in the UEFI partition, orchestrating your infrastructure to reboot the servers into the EFI partition to install and then let it reboot back to Linux. You just type `fwupdmgr update`.
Even Dell's iDRAC server management cards don't allow for firmware upgrades this simple. You'll need their layers of additional (paid) management software to update firmware without having to manually download it from their website.
Wow, just had a nostalgic moment. I remember QBasic. I remember my elementary school having a book about Basic and being able to do some of the example games and apps. And a few not working. BASIC/QBASIC differences?
But mostly I remember complaining to my dad. QBasic "compiled" to some intermediate that required QBasic to run... I remember never being happy with that.
I thought I had eventually found out... but QB64 only supports XP, and I know that I was doing QBasic on something much older than that... Maybe older versions of QB64 supported earlier versions of Windows.
anyway, a nice little 5 minute trip down memory lane.
Or finding out that my Chromebook Pixel 3 has USB Type-C, but not Thunderbolt 3... which means I can't have an eGPU.
And with the Razer Blade + Core set to actually make eGPUs a big thing... I'm pretty disappointed. I'll probably end up with a Razer Blade sooner rather than later.
He's at fault for keeping them in place, but that's about it.
