As far as I understand this is a pre-print under CC-BY license, if this answers your question?

Cool. It seems Unciv is basically Civ V while openciv3 is Civ III, if anyone else is wondering...

The operate on less than 100_000€/year, so I would cut them some slack ;-) btw. codeberg is not a company, more like a foundation, Verein is the german word.

I recently heard the argument that the license-friction of copyleft sometimes is actually a good thing. Think linux kernel that arguably is more successful than all the BSDs combined (citation needed)...

Not sure if wifi and bluetooth work though?:

since:

o Implement support for "vmmc-supply" in sdhc(4), needed to power on the WiFi chip on the Raspberry Pi 5.

My hope is that this lets some more people wake up and finally make Linux on the smartphone a reality.

I experience the same thing on Fennec F-Droid 143.0.3 (Firefox) on Android 14.

This is just a guess, but maybe the struck a deal with Steinberg that does not allow them to do this?

Is there something in CL as opposed to a Scheme-impl that you would miss or would Scheme give you the same edge in your opinion?

The big problems in software are not at the level of the language at all.

IMHO this only partially true. Think e.g. of memory safety.

I think the _magic_ here is emscripten:

Does anyone have an idea why they did not list the combined salaries of all employees? They did seem to list all the other things...

"More insightful" is too gentle. At best the chart is misleading. But the _mistake_ to not adjust money for inflation is very common unfortunately...

Regarding the first point. If I understand correctly you say that there is an inevitable performance hit when not running in kernel mode. But is that really so?

Yes, look here:

Cool, I've been a member of a Coop for about 10 years now.

Website of our Coop (in German):

also Ctrie: "a concurrent thread-safe lock-free implementation of a hash array mapped trie": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ctrie

So basically like HAMT but lock free.

The title of the story is potentially misleading. Germany is not thinking about building new power plants. It's just thinking about letting the existing ones run a little longer than originally planned.

Please provide some sources to this claim. As far as I know nuclear is worse than wind and solar in terms of CO2 emissions.

Fuzion has contracts as well:

Disclaimer, I work in the Fuzion team.

Thanks for clarifying. What is this PTC you mention?

The team’s analysis is long and complicated, but other researchers will soon dive in to simplify things, Rao predicted.

What is your plan to prevent things similar to this of happening in the future?

I just donated. So donations would be one source.

I guess only time will tell.

AV1 is supposed to be 30% better than HEVC and they claim H.266 is 50% better than HECV. This would mean that H.266 is roughly 30% better than AV1. By better I'm always referring to the bandwidth/space needed.

But take this with more than a grain of salt since bandwidth/space are only one of many things that matter and also these comparisons are dependent on so many things like resolution, material (animatic/real), etc. etc.

When did you last try Firefox? Chrome may still be better sometimes but Firefox improved a _lot_ recently.

First, it’s important to learn plain JavaScript.

Don’t depend on a library of shortcuts. JavaScript will be around for many years, while libraries and frameworks come and go every year.

I agree with the last part but this is not necessarily a sufficent reason to not learn via a framework or library. I'd say it depends on the circumstances, what you want to achieve by learning JS and also what type of a learner you are.

Reminds me of this poem by Rainer Maria Rilke:

Great write up. One thing I would add is how pipes do buffering / apply backpressure. To my understanding this is the "magic" that makes pipes fast and failsafe(r).
