I don’t think they need a shell unless uv itself requires it, the shebang is handled by the exec syscall.

Thank you for posting this. Simultaneously uplifting and tragic.

Pi is equal to 3 for sufficiently small values of pi, and sufficiently large values of 3.

Do those criticisms of Rosetta hold for Rosetta 2?

I assumed the author was talking about the x86 emulator released for the arm migration a few years ago, not the powerpc one.

Genode is an actively developed, general purpose desktop operating system that works today, and can use seL4, among other kernels.

Because they’ve had twenty years to figure out how to generate sustainable revenue while being propped up by Google. Mozilla got themselves into this situation, why should their users overlook the removal of the only real advantage of Firefox?

They _should_ collapse if the only way for them to continue is to abandon their mission.

That much revenue from a single source was always a significant vulnerability, a vulnerability that leadership failed to address. Poor leadership and wasteful spending is the problem, not revenue.

I’m not informed enough to analyze the real cost of developing a web browser.

However, Microsoft’s mission is profits for shareholders so their calculus ought to be different than Mozilla’s.

It makes sense for a profit-seeking entity to surrender if they don’t see a path for a return on the investment, not so for Mozilla.

This post does not deserve such self-righteous vitriol.

I think this is the best economic function of open source—it forces innovation by elimination of rent seeking.

If you sit on your laurels, someone will make a solution thats at least 70% as good for free.

They really don’t need more revenue. They are nominally a not-for-profit and in 2023, they had 250 million cash and a billion more in investments.

They’ve taken billions of dollars from Google since 2005, and now they’re turning their back on user privacy.

Well the number of BTC went from zero to ~twenty million in that time, not really zero inflation.

If the treasury could credibly say “we will only ever print 2^64 dollars”, that wouldn’t make it inflation free, just a maximum possible denominator.

That would not be treason, by a long shot.

Treason is the only crime defined in the constitution, and it is quite a high bar.

Electromagnets for the rotor cause significantly more heating, exactly where it is hardest cool, and where the heat is most likely to seep into the load.

For high torque density applications, heat dissipation is often the limiting factor on duty cycle.

Also, the slip rings capable of passing high current to an electromagnet rotor are expensive and less robust than permanent magnets.

Essentially: it’s possible but I haven’t seen an application where it’s practical.

Shouldn’t knowing how big it’s supposed to be make it easier to stop a zip bomb? Just stop decompressing once you hit the size from the header.
