Linux
Their words
Linux conquered everything else. All the AI infrastructure that everyone runs off, it's all running on Linux. All the systems, all the servers, everything is Linux. So it was kind of a curiosity that the desktop and the personal computers we were using really hadn't been captured, but clearly it was just waiting for this moment. Linux spent the time from '91 to now waiting for agents to fully flourish as an end user operating system.

Is there a service where I can rent access to Linux desktop machines with actual displays? We're implementing the Playbit runtime for Linux and it's surprisingly difficult to test various desktop configurations. We need a real GPU with a display connected, for testing dawn/webgpu, vsync, display sleep, etc. We use Modal and AWS, neither have had machines that I've been able to test with properly. Ideally there's a way to test a variety of systems (like ubuntu, arch, alpine etc) × GPUs (nvidia, amd, intel) × window managers. Linux Related

Compiler folks: anyone know how widely used -fzero-call-used-regs is? Looks like NixOS enables it by default(?) and I see references in kbuild, but anyone know if the more mainstream distros use it widely or at all? Related

I am slowly trying to figure out Nix/NixOS. I just realized something I'm very confused by: Is it really the case “pinning’ in NixOS prototypically means “pinning a single version of the entire package repository, and then pulling in whatever versions it contains”? I mean, "it's all just code" and it seems to be *possible* to mix and match via `fetchTarball`. But is pinning the universe as-a-unit really the normal pattern? Nix Related
Nothing matches. Show everything
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
