XRevan86schestowitz: When you have orphaned code (like pycrypto that Ariadne for some reason is using (orphaned crypto, that can't be good)), then it is indeed a problem.Sep 26 02:09
XRevan86When there's at least one half-asleep person who can deliver a fix, then not so much. GTK 3.20 was definitely a lot more annoying.Sep 26 02:11

schestowitz> Sep 26 02:16
schestowitz> Because a GNU Foundation would be very nice. RMS would of course, remainSep 26 02:16

XRevan86I wonder what kind of thing would actually be able to topple the network effect that GitHub has. People can tolerate a lot, but some seemingly unimportant things can make a platform go poof in a matter of months.Sep 26 02:20
XRevan86What happened to Zoom was a miracle, a bad one.Sep 26 02:20
XRevan86Or Discord. It took people from Mumble in big numbers.Sep 26 02:21

XRevan86Ariadne: yay :)Sep 26 02:30

MinceRESR forgot to take the pink glasses offSep 26 02:36
*XRevan86 stopped reading at the mention of MS Edge being ported.Sep 26 02:36
schestowitzyesSep 26 02:36
schestowitzchromiumSep 26 02:36
schestowitzmany errors thereSep 26 02:37
schestowitzso I will respondSep 26 02:37
XRevan86"If you think this is fantasy, think again. " – *thinks* nope, still pure fantasySep 26 02:38
XRevan86>  The best evidence that it’s already the plan is that Microsoft has already ported Edge to run under Linux. There is only one way that makes any sense, and that is as a trial run for freeing the rest of the Windows utility suite from depending on any emulation layer.Sep 26 02:39
XRevan86What the hay is he smokingSep 26 02:40
kingoffrancei.e. eg had that solaris free download...but im guessing those codebases are neither connected nor was any port to "unix" and/or posix maintainedSep 26 02:41
MinceRi think he failed to recognize what happened to LinuxSep 26 02:41
MinceRwhich is extra weird because i thought he'd at least notice the CoC issue...Sep 26 02:42
XRevan86So now Microsoft will have two consumer-oriented projects for GNU/Linux: Edge and Skype (client), both are based on Google's cross-platform code.Sep 26 02:42
XRevan86Big flipping deal.Sep 26 02:42
oiaohmYou missed teamsSep 26 02:43
XRevan86Oh, and Teams, yes.Sep 26 02:43
MinceRah yes, teams, which doesn't work properly anywhere :>Sep 26 02:43
schestowitzI will integrate your comments if that's okSep 26 02:43
schestowitzI am doing line by line rebuttalSep 26 02:44
Ariadnethe thought that PC sales are declining is a fallacySep 26 02:44
Ariadnepeople are still using PCsSep 26 02:44
XRevan86schestowitz: Remind him of Minecraft Bedrock.Sep 26 02:44
MinceRi'm starting to suspect teams is an experiment in which they're trying to find out how long can they delay messages before people give up on teamsSep 26 02:44
AriadneNT is a problem though.Sep 26 02:44
Ariadnewriting drivers and subsystems for NT is a huge pain in the ass.Sep 26 02:44
Ariadneit is possible that NT could be replaced down the road with a Linux kernel.  that much I would believe.Sep 26 02:45
Ariadnebut POSIX?  yeah right :)Sep 26 02:45
Ariadneif you are going to make developers transition to new APIs, you would get them to transition to whatever the present state of the art is, not POSIXSep 26 02:45
XRevan86Ariadne: If something like that would occur, it would definitely happen in such a way it wouldn't make anyone happier than Microsoft.Sep 26 02:45
MinceRmaybe they don't care anymore, they're just looking to do damageSep 26 02:46
oiaohmAriadne: writing Linux drivers is also not painlessSep 26 02:46
AriadneXRevan86: yeah.  i guess what i'm saying is that we could see a windows OS based on linux kernel, in the same way that android is based on linux kernel, but otherwise unrelated to UNIX environmentSep 26 02:46
Ariadneoiaohm: yes, *but* if vendors only have to target one API, it is easier.Sep 26 02:46
Ariadneand as we add more and more coresSep 26 02:47
oiaohmLinux kernel internal ABI is nicely unstable and you should hear vendors yell about it.Sep 26 02:47
Ariadnethe shortcomings of NT are becoming more and more visibleSep 26 02:47
MinceR:>Sep 26 02:47
Ariadneoiaohm: yes, but microsoft, like red hat and suse and canonical can solve that by providing a stable ABISep 26 02:47
oiaohmReally redhat attempts at solving it don't work out.Sep 26 02:48
MinceRthey'll just tell gkh to declare a stable ABISep 26 02:48
XRevan86Ariadne: Maybe Windows will eventually look more like macOSSep 26 02:48
MinceRand if it stops Linux development, they don't careSep 26 02:48
oiaohmThe result of redhat stable kernels is lots of security fixes not applied.Sep 26 02:48
XRevan86Free kernel, completely useless to everyone else.Sep 26 02:48
AriadneXRevan86: yes, i suspect that is the plan anyway.Sep 26 02:48
oiaohmFunny enough NT/Windows has the same problem.Sep 26 02:48
oiaohmFor some reason stable kernel ABI for drivers=security nightmare.Sep 26 02:48
oiaohmThat is stable kernel space ABISep 26 02:49
XRevan86It was funny hearing about the DirectX 12 shim for WSL as "Microsoft ported DX12 to Linux, they care!"Sep 26 02:50
oiaohmAriadne: some of Windows/NT short coming are the direct side effects of stable kernel space ABI.    Google with Android is now pushing for mainlining of drivers.Sep 26 02:51
Ariadnesome.  some is also poor design.Sep 26 02:52
Ariadnesome is also design targeting entirely different class of SMPSep 26 02:52
XRevan86If Microsoft will port their calculator to GNU/Linux, everyone will lose it. Albeit that's very unlikely.Sep 26 02:52
Ariadnewhen most kernels we use today were designed, SMP was 1-4 CPU cores totalSep 26 02:52
oiaohmXRevan86: its more interesting the DX12 userspace libraries from windows being brought on top of Linux there has been some talk if Microsoft is pondering DX12 work on the Linux DRI layer.(Mind you this could be evil profit)Sep 26 02:52
MinceRthey could just buy ibm and use gnomeSep 26 02:53
oiaohmLinux is one of the rare kernels that have had to work on 1024 core + systems.Sep 26 02:53
MinceRit comes with a calculatorSep 26 02:53
Ariadnelinux is basically the only kernel that has made the jump from classic SMP to this new world we live in with potentially hundreds of cores on the desktopSep 26 02:53
oiaohmYes that is a single chip/motherboard.Sep 26 02:54
Ariadneyou put EPYC in a windows 10 boxSep 26 02:54
Ariadneand it actually hurts your performanceSep 26 02:54
schestowitzthanks for discussing thisSep 26 02:54
schestowitzI am adding the comments above, will edit accordinglySep 26 02:54
schestowitzhe'll get the replySep 26 02:54
Ariadneso really i do believe microsoft are shopping for a new kernelSep 26 02:54
schestowitzit shows in pingbacks in his blog setupSep 26 02:55
Ariadnethat much seems plausibleSep 26 02:55
schestowitzno comments yetSep 26 02:55
XRevan86oiaohm: What are they to gain from that though? Unless they do it for Android, right?Sep 26 02:55
Ariadneyou have to keep in mind that linux provides, even for microsoft, lower capex and opexSep 26 02:56
Ariadnethan redesigning NT to scale properly to these hundreds of cores systems being sold todaySep 26 02:56
XRevan86Ariadne: Sold to whom?Sep 26 02:56
Ariadnesold to workstation usersSep 26 02:57
AriadneAMD EPYC you can get up to 128 cores in a boxSep 26 02:57
oiaohmAriadne: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16007/hot-chips-2020-live-blog-manticore-4096core-riscv-330pm-pt  You are talking hundred of core sorry that is low ball.   Manticore is a 1024 cores per chiplet  and 4 chiplets to a socket yes 4096 cores of I hope you scale.Sep 26 02:57
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.anandtech.com | Hot Chips 2020 Live Blog: Manticore 4096-core RISC-V (3:30pm PT)Sep 26 02:57
Ariadneeven enthusiast gaming PCs have up to 64 coresSep 26 02:57
oiaohmYes its risc-v Linux kernel for a manticore.Sep 26 02:58
Ariadneoiaohm: yes, but that's just the same scalability issue with classic SMP turned up to 11Sep 26 02:58
Ariadneoiaohm: linux already has solved it.Sep 26 02:58
Ariadnethings like ticketlocks, for exampleSep 26 02:58
XRevan86Anyway, I think we can all agree MS Edge coming to GNU/Linux is not the Sign of Microsoft moving Windows to Linux.Sep 26 02:59
Ariadneoh, absolutely notSep 26 02:59
oiaohmXRevan86: Dx12 microsoft wants as a AI platform.Sep 26 02:59
Ariadneeven if windows were to use a linux kernel in future, they would still use their own APIsSep 26 02:59
Ariadnejust like androidSep 26 02:59
XRevan86MS Edge has been available on Android all this time.Sep 26 02:59
AriadneXRevan86: guess that means MS will relaunch Windows Phone as an Android forkSep 26 03:00
Ariadne;)Sep 26 03:00
XRevan86oiaohm: A-ha, server application, now that makes sense…Sep 26 03:00
XRevan86Ariadne: If they're a gentleman.Sep 26 03:01
oiaohmXRevan86: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3d12/dml-intro  DirectML  Yes direct machine learning is the name of it and Microsoft designed it to work on DX12.   Needing windows licenses for machine learning with the volume of machines need normally prices those solutions out the market at this stage.Sep 26 03:01
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-docs.microsoft.com | Introduction to DirectML - Win32 apps | Microsoft DocsSep 26 03:01
oiaohmSo DX12 coming it Linux would not supprise me.  Of course it most likely will come with you have to pay fee to Microsoft.Sep 26 03:02
XRevan86oiaohm: That would make them less appealing than FOSS.Sep 26 03:03
XRevan86Probably not a fee. Not at first anyway.Sep 26 03:04
XRevan86Ariadne: To be serious, they do want to do exactly that %).Sep 26 03:05
XRevan86Except not a fork but manufacturers bundling all their crap on top of Android.Sep 26 03:07

schestowitzComes the news that the Python project has merged a request to partially eliminate the terms “master” and “slave” from its documentation on “diversity” grounds. Sensibly, Guido van Rossum at least refused to sever the project from uses of those terms in documentation of the underlying Unix APIs.Sep 26 17:23
schestowitzI wish Guido had gone further and correctly shitcanned the change request as political bullshit up with which he will not put. I will certainly do that if a similar issue is ever raised in one of my projects.Sep 26 17:23
schestowitzThe problem here is not with the object-level issue of whether the terms “master” and “slave” might be offensive to some people. It’s with the meta-level of all such demands. Which the great comedian George Carlin once summed up neatly as follows: “Political correctness is fascism pretending to be manners.”Sep 26 17:23
