It is the run-time performance of the compiler depending on its implementation language. So totally relevant.

I just saw the news that you raised another 1.2 billion. Congrats!

If I may ask how do you actually plan to make money? Because as far as I can tell, you're still losing a lot of money on every oven you give away.

The difference between “jmp $+15” and “jmp $+16” is inscrutable

I don't see why that's the case. LLM trained on binary would totally see it, not?

Also the tool can also be running the test and a debugger.

Web UI is fine for web applications, obviously.

But for desktop applications it is bloated, a big attack surface.

HTML/CSS is made for online documents, and using it for applications is a bit hack that happen to work, but hides a huge ton of complexity behind frameworks and frameworks of frameworks with leaky abstractions and each their own caveat.

Do you need evidence that "Natural doesn't mean healthy or good for the environment"?

Asbestos, is "natural". So is Arsenic. And CO2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_nature

Or do you need evidence that the bio labels are not optimizing for health or environment? Check the rules. Most of them are just there to restrict synthetic products, regardless of their impact.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_certification#False_as...

They optimise for natural. So you can still have pesticides and herbicides. If you find your poison in some plant, it is fine. If you synthetize the same molecule in a factory, then it's not allowed.

As for the animal welfare, true, but there are also labels specifically for that that.

Because users and community contributors most likely already have an account, are familiar with the UI.

There is also the "gamification" aspect that GitHub have. Doesn't motivate me personally, but could have effect on some others.

Projects on GitHub gets a lot more visibility. To the point that many projects that do not use GitHub as their main forge are still often mirroring their repository there, and have to deal with double source of bug reports or pr.

I have hard time imagining what is that argument, that apply to the thing you mention but that doesn't apply to hardcore pornography.

Or do you also think we should forbid hardcore pornography also for adults?

So far everything is going according to the plan. Humans are really close to make the AI that will replace them and enter into the next phase of the plan.

Or do you have a better idea of what the plan exactly is?

GitHub Stacked PRs 3 months ago

I might be missing something, but what I need is not "stacked PR" but a proper UI and interface to manage single commit:

- merge some commits independently when partial work is ready.

- mark some commit as reviewed.

- UI to do interactive rebase and and squash and edit individual commits. (I can do that well from the command line, but not when using the GitHub interface, and somehow not everyone from my team is familiar with that)

- ability to attach a comment to a specific commit, or to the commit message.

- better way to visualize what change over time in each forced push/revision (diff of diff)

Git itself already has the concept of commit. Why put this "stacked PR" abstraction on top of it?

Or is there a difference I don't see?

Normally, network A and network B would be connected by a path, so your bitcoins can be routed through the destination by moving balances of each intermediaries. If there is no route to the destination, you can't send them as is. You'd need to take the bitcoin out of network A and open a channel with B. And that's operations on the main chain so it may take some time.

On the main chain, bitcoin transactions can have "scripts" that describes who and under what condition this money can be spent.

You have to lock your bitcoin on the main chain in a script that shares the bitcoin between you, and another lightning network user (typically a hub)

The trick is that a lightning transaction happen by signing transactions to the other party that changes the way the bitcoins are split, without broadcasting it to the main chain. You only broadcast to the main chain when you want to unlock the bitcoin. Broadcasting an earlier transaction will result of you losing the found because subsequent transaction contains secrets that allow the other party to take them.

Slint has nothing to do with elecron. There is no browser under the hood so it is much more lightweight. Slint has native looking widgets. Slint DSL gets compiled to native code: no need for a runtime interpreter like in QtQuick

The main reason I use GitHub is because of the network effect. Most people have already a GitHub account and can easily open PR, issues, discussions.

So I'll wait until some big projects do it. For example, the day the Rust project moves away from GitHub I'll seriously consider. (Because I use Rust)

You generally can't adhere to the LGPL in automotive

"Can't" or "won't"? The UI process is not usually the part that need certification.

Slint has a similar license

Indeed, but Slint's open source license is the GPL and not the LGPL. And its more permissive license is made for desktop apps and explicitly forbid embedded (so automotive)
