> Yes, we can. C++20 Modules are usable in a Linux + Clang environment. There are also examples showing that C++20 Modules are usable in a Windows environment with MSVC. I have not yet heard of GCC’s C++20 Modules being used in non-trivial projects.

People keep saying this and yet I do not know of a good example from a real life project which did this which I can test. This seems very much still an experimental thing.

I'm using Wayland exclusively for 4 years now on Archlinux (may be more, I forget). At this point, it is better than X11. It still has bugs, but then so does X11.

Fractional scaling is fixed in Plasma 6 though. So, if you need that, it has been good for 1 year now.

Doctolib is not the problem at all. he real problem is the lack of government proactivity on these initiatives.

If the government had already thought about this in advanced (even in 2013 when doctolib was just starting out), then there could be very strong protectiosn for data which would then allay all of these concerns, and we might have had multiple players in this space.

The best use of Doctolib for me is that I can make appointments without having to speak perfect German on phone. I can make appointments in evening when I'm back from office and can relax a little bit. So, doctolib is a godsend for me as an immigrant here. and I'm guessing for a lot of people too. I can look up doctors who are available without having to bother the receptionist. This is much more efficient way of doing things.

NO!!!! They are in practice more about keeping the core OS very small and stable and putting all packages outside.

formatting on git diffs is a concept which should be embraced.

Wrong analogy. You have no idea how wrong you are. Just look at the difference in performance analysis tools for AMD and Nvidia for GPUs. Nvidia makes it simple for people to write GPU programs.

It is hard to do in the sense that it requires a very good taste about programming languages, which in turn requires really listening to the customers, and that requires huge number of people who are skilled. And no one has really invested that much money into their software ecosystem yet.

Mathematics is actually the easiest thing to formalize. It's just the standards of formalization are much higher.

You misunderstand their purpose. They would rather be in power in a failed company than see a company succeed without them having power.

TSC is about cycles consumed by a core. Not about actual time. And so for microbenchmarking, it actually makes sense, because you are often much more interested in CPU benchmarks than network benchmarks in microbenchmarking.

That's Debian's fault I guess
