Russia Mulls Forking Linux in Response to Developer Exclusions
  • You do know that the maintainers delisted worked for russian companies that was sanctioned by the west? And if you feel somehow wronged by this, you are always more than welcome to emigrate to a country that aligns with your worldview.

  • To those with 2+ monitors on your machine: What's your use case, and how much does it actually boost your productivity?
  • Embedded software developer here. One monitor, virtual workspaces. Because I don't need distractions.

    People in here with 2+ monitors, how do you stay focused? Probably it's just me, but I have a hard time getting into the flow after getting interrupted.

  • DayZ 1.24 rolls out, 2024 will also see 'significant departure' from usual update model
  • Yes! I looked at the release notes more closely and noticed that they released the official stable Linux server. I had to try it and sure enough, it worked! I can finally ditch my windows servers and go all in running Debian.

  • Bye bye edge
  • A somewhat anecdotal comment here, but I've using Debian stable as a daily driver for years, both at work and at home. Haven't had any issues yet. It's so stable it's almost boring. 😀 However, this is fine since I can focus on getting stuff done instead of messing about with the distro.

  • There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time.
  • Absolutely! I play mainly two games. DayZ and Eve Online. Both run way faster on my Debian 12 rig compared to running on Windows 11.

    Granted, it took a while to figure out how to self-sign the Nvidia driver (secure boot). But once that was sorted it was smooth sailing.

  • Tabs are objectively better than spaces - gomakethings.com
  • Oh, I've done my fair share of C++ and Python as well. But you got to agree with me that when you are on your fourth indented "if case" it's time to step back and think about what you are trying to achieve. I mean it's probably going to work, but probably also very hard to maintain that type of code.

  • Tabs are objectively better than spaces - gomakethings.com
  • As an embedded software developer that does linux kernel drivers I've come to love the tab size 8 indentation level.

    I'm paraphrasing: "if your indentation level gets too deep, it's time to rethink/refactor your function."

    And with tab 8 you'll notice it rather quick if your function does too much/unrelated stuff.

    A function should be short and do one thing only, if possible. It also makes unit testing easier if that's a requirement.
