Next generation I guess.

"They're trashing! They're trashing our rights!"

... while live streaming actually earns the money :-P

They are a significant actor in the market, and as a non-pc-gamer I am glad that their business goals align with Linux users. I don't believe that they do it out of kindness, but that's actually a good thing for a long term investment.

Fun fact: The Norwegian wine monopoly is rolling out exactly this to prevent scalpers buying up new releases. Each online release will require a signup in advance with a verified account.

Maybe it would have generated with floats if it was prompted for a generator in x87 assembly? It did originate as an extension to x86 on a separate chip, so it could explain the AI sticking to integers.

My father installed it on our family mac. I somehow discovered that by quickly rebooting twice, it would start the usual Finder shell instead, albeit in English instead of the configured Norwegian. Fun times.

When Google contribute to open source, they often do it to scratch their own itch. That's how most open source organizations works. What Automattic wants from WPE as laid outs in their term sheet is to dictate what WPE contributes and audit their accounting. Not exactly on the same playing field as other corporate contributions to open source projects. Not to mention the non-forking clause.

Maybe setting up a proper independent governance of the WordPress project would encourage more independent contributions.

Not to mention the required maintenance of said parts.

But why would the code quality suck if features or maintenance of supported systems was prioritized ahead of arcane architectures? Time is a limited resource, so why should extreme portability be considered the holy grail?

Imho the most important part of the x86 standardization is the IBM pc platform. Arm boards doesn't have an equivalent platform to standardize on, so everybody does their own thing.

I guess it's a ROI issue. Low effort answers to many easy questions gets you many points, while novel questions which requires thorough understanding is high effort and few points.
