A lot of the Emacs language modes have been replaced with tree-sitter equivalents now.

Very handy site. Nice 🙂

How much game logic is in the servers? Do they need updating for every release or are things like mob behaviour and Redstone handled by the clients?

Can those handle the meta data for the track name, artist and release date. Assuming you want a portable playlist that can then find the track on the recipients preferred platform (streaming provider or self hosting). Given that a lot of tagging is trash maybe also included an audio fingerprint for validation?

Yep I’ve been a happy Antenna Pod user for years. A double tap of my headphones skips 30s forward, triple 10s back and makes skipping past the ads easy.

My UK rates are about £0.26/kWh for the day rate, £0.07/kWh for the night rate which is when things like car charging is done. Excess solar generation makes me £0.15/kWh I send back to the grid although not much of that going on in the winter ;-)

We also pay a daily standing charge for the grid connection.

I wonder how much of the core has been changed to prevent rebasing onto a more recent QEMU? We’ve done a bunch of cleanups and additions too the x86 emulation since 7.2.

There is a very large corpus of FLOSS software out there serving everything from individual itches to whole industries. Any project that is important to someone’s bottom line is likely to have paid developers working on it but often alongside hobbyists.

The project I predominately work on is about 90% paid developers but from lots of different companies and organisations. Practically though the developers don’t care about the affiliation of the other developers they work with but the ideas and patches they bring to the project.

Nice. A friend of mine built one with ball bearings: https://youtu.be/40DkJ9vt5CI?si=2TupxpdiZkEg3nVB

Very binary, much wow.

I’m watching Voyager with my kids. Janeway is pretty bad ass given her position as the sole federation representative in the delta sector. We are however using a watchlist and skipping the filler episodes rather than going for the completionist approach.

My Organic maps has a download screen for the maps which regularly update outside of the app itself.

I think you underestimate how much storage those tiles take up compared to the vector map data.

The data updates are handled separately in app

Won’t it? I thought you just needed to enable the apps you want. My fdroid AntennaPod is certainly usable in it.

I write assembly for test cases and early setup code. I read far more assembly than I write.

Self hosting takes time and energy and most open source developers join projects because they are interested in the project not becoming admins. On top of that building a CI system is an expensive undertaking when a lot of hosting solutions provide a fair amount of compute for free to qualifying projects.

I’m not sure if that is the op or Lemmy cropping stuff. I’ve seen similar when I’ve tried to post stuff.

Hmm don’t know why the image gets clipped. Is today a Mastodon or Lemmy issue?

The ISA may be open but I’m pretty sure the microarchitecture will be totally proprietary. Even with a kick ass microarchitecture they may still struggle if they can’t use the latest process nodes to actually manufacture the chips.

Having said that I suspect the main challenge RISCV is going to face is the software ecosystem. That stuff can take a decade to build and requires a degrees of cooperation between all the companies building chips.
