I can see it going both ways. Talking about execution times, this would be an exaggeration, but then, these memes always are.
Maybe I’ll consider Nvidia for my next GPU.
I won’t. Not until things improve a lot more. I’m not in a hurry to forget their past behavior.
Nitpick: The kernel modules are not the whole driver. There are substantial portions of it running in userspace, which will not be opened. (For AMD, those are open, too.) This does not “complete” the move away from proprietary drivers, at best it’s starting it.
The closed-source kernel modules are the parts causing most of the headaches and legal uncertainties when using Nvidia GPUs, though.
“Squeezes”, “20%”. Interesting word choice. Feels almost like downplaying. When, in reality, 20% is massive, especially on a CPU like the Threadripper.
Anyone got a non-paywalled version?
Going by what OP thinks “Chaotic Evil” means for sysadmins, they have clearly never heard of BOFH.
Writing good comments is an art form, and beginner programmers often struggle with it. They know comments mostly from their text books, where the comments explain what is happening to someone who doesn’t yet know programming, and nobody has told them yet that that is not at all a useful commenting style outside of education. So that’s how they use them. It usually ends up making the code harder to read, not easier.
Later on, programmers will need to learn a few rules about comments, like:
MacOS is basically a different world.
I have been sort of following Wayland’s development for over 10 years now. I have been using Wayland for over 2 years now. I have been reading and watching various lengthy arguments online for and against it. I still don’t feel like I actually know it even is, not beyond some handwavey superficialities. Definitely not to the extent and depth I could understand what X11 was and how to actually work with it, troubleshoot it when necessary and achieve something slightly unusual with it. I feel like, these days, you are either getting superficial marketing materials, ELI5 approaches that seem to be suited at best to pacify a nosy child without giving them anything to actually work with, or reference manuals full of unexplained jargon for people who already know how it works and just need to look up some details now and then…
Maybe I’m getting old. I used to like Linux because I could actually understand what was going on…
In a language that has exceptions, there is no good reason to return bool here…
Aw, too bad, they were working so hard on bankrupting themselves in defiance of that endless money cheat code they’ve got…
Also, the CIA panel is missing the part where they overthrew a small country in the process.
Last part is highly topical again…
It’s a lot better than the system that just randomly throws in your USB drives with your SCSI/SAS/SATA/PATA drives. Or the systems that calls everything a SCSI drive when it usually isn’t a SCSI drive.
As someone who is in tech… not sure, either.
Also, almost all of that is written in C, which is a successor to B, which is a simplified version of the Basic Combined Programming Language. There was never an A.

Purgery would be intentionally inducing vomiting on oneself to empty one’s stomach.
The only label on the map that’s both on Latin and in old German.
