nixpkgs as a mono repo might’ve been a mistake, honestly. shithub wasn’t made for monorepos. It doesn’t have a permissions system for it.

So many PRs get a bunch of inane comments that have nothing to do with the functionality to please somebody’s ego, the CODEOWNERS file is nearly worthless as “package maintainers” don’t even have the last say on their own packages, docs are nearly the last of the priorities making it difficult for pretty much anybody but the christened cream of the crop to make changes. It almost seems like the entire thing was made for “job security” - only a few people really understand what’s going on and thus make the decisions. That of course introduces a bottle-neck.

Even if more people wanted to contribute, they wouldn’t be aren’t able to. I think the decision makers like it that way.

I would check myself in if I started writing either, for sure.

So yes, C++ is a terrible language. Now fire up your terrible IDE and get back to coding in the worst programming language in the entire world!

No thank you. I’ve moved on long ago and welcome the abilities that rust provides. Since I’m not a game developer who needs to “move fast and break things”, which C++ is not even good at btw (well the moving fast part), there is no reason to use or get accommodated with C++ again. I think I’d even rather write PHP than C++ at this point.

I’ll have to think of ways to use this as at the moment, I have no use for it. It is pretty cool though.

The service itself pulls from github to create the crates. Cargo pulls from crates.io, that is correct.

You can only publish packages via github, so it’s not a surprise, IMO. I don’t know why they did that in the first place instead of using email like every normal service.

crates.io pulls everything from github.

Done a long time ago. It would be great if others at least had official mirrors. A mirrors.txt with a list of links in the repo would be very helpful and could be a start.

But I’m afraid people will either just stay or start hosting on the cursor git forge.

This might be a problem for many projects. Rust, comes to mind, that pulls everything from Github and is 100% dependent on it. Same as Go. They pull everything from Github.

It might make sense for them to use something like radicle, a distributed git. Many people can easily pick what they want to distribute. Scripts can be written that make the local node only host the projects you depend on. That would naturally make popular projects more available.

So? That’s nowhere near the same thing as what you’re suggesting “AI can just take DNA and make the same person”. Look up what twins actually are. They aren’t just DNA injected into some random person.

No, they couldn’t, that’s what’s being said. If you have a huge state machine with billions of parameters, toggling a different subset can yield wildly different results.

Maybe but there is more to the outcome than just genes. Certain ones can be activated of deactivated and that can be done by epigentics for example. Gene expression is a thing.

The AI would need way more information that just DNA to generate an image of the person.

Not my thing but if it makes them happy, go ahead.

Lemmy doesn’t work with Peertube and it doesn’t seem like there’s any importance given to it.

This dude maybe should learn to keep his mouth shut and play the game. Delete the blog, wipe the presence, reset the online identity. Until he finds a job, he could contribute to opensource to have something to show, or retrain in some other thing like a trade job.

Being loud on the internet and showing that you can and will be a problem for the company, even if you’re fighting the good fight, will get you in trouble. Unless of course he finds a job with like-minded people.

My online identity isn’t tied to my real identity. At least, I try hard not to because otherwise I’ll have to add a disclaimer to every post “these are my views and not that of my employer”. The more you give to recruiters, the more reasons they have not to pick you. Your online presence (if any) must be the cleanest, most professional that you can manage - especially if you’re a minority.

People posting with their real names should just learn to STFU sometimes. Free speech doesn’t mean “no consequences”.

It’s just jibing. I don’t think the comment was meant in earnest. Many, including me have had bad bosses and felt unheard and left due to it.

My previous response to this question.

It can interact with peertube, pixelfed, miskey, and many more things. Lemmy only really sees the threadiverse part of the fediverse.

But he interface of mastodon isn’t threaded, so it’s unusable to me. I was point to Sharkey and akkoma, which I might try instead, but I feel quite comfortable here, honestly.

Support given. Categories?

• post one video
• post one image
• post one question to the fediverse e.g askfeddit
• post one article you read
• post one comment with an opinion
• post one comment saying thank you
• make one positive post

Uh… Can’t think of anything else. Maybe post 2 videos instead of 1?

Maybe make a comment on a video or post on or linking to another fediverse platform e.g comment on a peertube video or share a peertube video.

Keep using it, I use it too.
