I remember using it all the time for the Windows headers because they pollutes the compilation unit like you wouldn't believe — the rule was to only include them in c/cpp files.

I’m not entirely convinced, there are many dimensions to progress. For example, DeepSeek has had a few very impressive innovations that all models could benefit from. There’s also the law of diminishing returns, the US labs have plenty of CAPEX already.

Sometimes, constraints, like sanctions, can also be a source if innovation.

How is /e/ less open than Graphene? As far as I understand, they are both pretty open minus firmware that they can't control?

I'm actually curious if there's something I don't know about /e/

I'm also on Emacs and Niri, seems to be a popular combo, and I don't have any performance problem.

At home I'm driving an Ultrawide (3440x1440@75Hz) at scale 1.1.

At work I'm driving two 4k screens at scale 1.2.

I might be less sensitive to latency but it could also be a graphics driver issue or something similar. I'm using Arch with emacs-wayland (pgtk) with a strix halo (all AMD) laptop.

People are paranoid that everything they read was written by a LLM. It's likely that they are even more suspicious because you used one to code.

You should be proud of both the work you did and the article :-).

The sales are a nice thing but for me the biggest benefit of Steam is knowing that I can use my games library on other/future devices.

My games have been working on my desktop from 10 years ago, the SteamDeck, my laptop and likely any future computer I buy that runs Linux.

Why a team... give me a few days ;-)

I'm using a Strix Halo laptop (~3k, 64GiB) and with Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.6, both at 8 bits, I'm seeing very impressive results.

As a work tool, this is reasonably priced. You can save a bit of money by opting for a non-laptop form factor.

It only reversed it for within the US, I learned that when the company I worked for (owner was a US company) closed.

Nothing of that is angering me, I live in the EU and life is pretty nice.

My comment above was meant to provide context and to point out that both sides of the argument can be legitimate.

The comment is neutral, you shouldn't be able to infer what I think about the EU from it. It simply points out facts and says that reducing a point of view to being uninformed is too easy.

My stance on the EU is complex: it does good, it does bad, it affects each member states differently, it changes over time. Those are all pretty neutral statements too, only siths live in extremes ;-).

I think the grandparent references many referendums that rejected EU treaties:

- Maastricht Treaty, 1992, Denmark, - European Constitution, 2005, France and Netherlands, - Lisbon Treaty, 2008, Ireland.

The votes were usually redone and passed. The exception is Norway which refused to join twice.

> Clearly not everyone loves the EU but the majorities are very much in favour (and certainly this is the case among the people who actually understand politics, economics, etc.).

This is quite the loaded statement. I've heard from people on either both sides of the argument that understood politics and economics very well (professors, lecturers, etc.)

I had a similar experience to your family member. I have a 2 year old and when she started eating solids, the smell got to me much more than before.

Still not too hard but much harder in my case ;-).

I had many conversations with a former boss about the Azure sales team. They would come in, say they can do it cheaper, simpler and better — he was immediately convinced.

I would do a calculation based on their public price plan and come up with a 5-10x price compared to the bare metal OVH solution that perfectly fit our use case. I would then ask the sales team where I made a mistake in my calculation and hear nothing back.

A few months later, they would come back with the same pitch and the whole process would repeat...

Many of the proposed EU digital solutions require a Google or Apple verified phone. This makes escaping American companies difficult.
