EU OS is built on Fedora Linux—a testbed distribution owned by the US-based Red Hat, which in turn is part of IBM. Another brilliant choice at the heart of the EU. Let’s hope the French government makes a more thoughtful decision for a nationwide distribution. #linux #open_source
It would be nice for France to adopt a BSD variant as a public sector OS, but this seems unlikely given the limited driver support BSD offers. A Linux-based option like NixOS or SUSE Atomic seems more ideal. #linux #France #BSD
At this rate, in C++30 we’ll be writing nothing but preprocessor code. This compile-time madness keeps growing with every version! #cpp
While working on FEM optimizers, I sought help with topology optimization from the paid versions of Gemini, Claude, Grok, and ChatGPT. Gemini and Claude provided valid answers, whereas Grok and ChatGPT performed quite poorly.
Creating the tools for creation is really exciting! #programming
Python is a chaotic mess, and while Lua is lightweight and great, it lacks a lot of built-in functionality. JavaScript is simply humanity's biggest mistake. It is time for a lightweight, cross-platform scripting language! #programming
This is a tplink tapo P100 v1 hardware. Rock solid structural design but the wrg rj ss 105dm1 relay failed. The device was turning on and off like like a daemon.
Intel Foundry Services has been part of Intel's business since 2021. What is the meaning of Tan's statement? #Intel
Disney not only messed up the Star Wars franchise but also managed to do the same to Tron!
Fun fact, this "world's most complicated/important machine" that Veritasium just covered runs C++!

I know because I have had students from ASML on multiple occasions (they had me out there for training and to speak at a meetup back in 2018!)

Wtf @openSUSE, the agama installer is unusable! Why to use a new installer which doesn't detect current lv partitions? #suse #linux #opensuse
A US-based company (Micron) exits RAM manufacturing, while a Taiwan-based company (under threat from China) fills the gap. The ‘America First’ policy turns out to be a joke once more!

Has anyone tried the fresh text editor? I am curious how much RAM and CPU it uses! #programming #devel

Wow, Udemy and Coursera will unite!
After JavaScript, Python ranks as humanity’s second greatest mistake! #python #js #programming

Added in the watch later list. Been a bash and zhs user until now.Thx
I believe this especially for admins and web developers. As a C/C++ dev I only need 3 terminals. One for the code, one for gdb and the last one for the compilation.
Whoever thought that auto-formatting in VS Code should be Shift + Alt + F was a genius! The default language change shortcut
Do people continue using Vim and tmux, or is the terminal Neovim command now the preferred approach?

This Omarchy and Framework computer hype has to stop. The first is just a linux distro, and the second is an overpriced laptop/PC!
Three premium AI models failed to convert all C-style casts to C++ casts. The task involved a single file, 14,000 lines long, which contained circa 100 of the old C-style casts! VIM replace will do the job!
VS Code is just a shiny rebranding of Atom. IDEs are overrated tools that create a knowledge gap. Vim, Emacs, and the terminal will always be here to remind us of that! #VIM #neovim #vscode #ide
When stupidity is sold as innovation, the results can be disastrous—even deadly!
