What is this, a crossover episode?

BootLoop 44 points a year ago

Did they finally merge the En Passant fork into the master branch? Been waiting to update my board to the latest version.

bro hasn't updated his dependencies since the 16th century. You're cooked, I bet you haven't even read the man page for Ruy Lopez.

EDIT: People these days are trying to get the 960 branch to be seen as legit, but struggling.

I thought Chess 2.1 was the standard by now. Curious oder versions are still around

2.1 is the most common version, but it's way out of date. The current standardized version is 9.6.0.

Nope, we call it master. The hand-wringing over the name was and still is absolutely asinine.

In case you (the reader, not expr@programming.dev who I'm sure is old enough :P) were born after 9/11:

I understand WHY it's named this way, from a technology point of view. The first drive on the IDE cable is the only one that uses its controller. The other drives disable their own controller and blindly follow the Master drive.

Engineering calls these kind of relationships Master/Slave: https://en.wikipedia.org/...

That being said, when I was learning this in the 90s it was seen as a problematic phrase... but it was the terminology of the field so you had to learn/use it.

This is very true. I don't know why they're so captivated by them.

I don't even know which Linux specific fork you are referring to, it could be either a git fork or fork(2).

I assume the excitement is for git forks rather than process forking

The excitement is for fork bombs, clearly.

Yo dawg, I heard you like forks, so I put a fork in yo fork:

I almost exclusively role my eyes when I see a new fork, the whole problem with Linux (distros) is fragmentation among the developer base they literally cannibalized themselves and honestly a new distro is not worth eating human flesh.

It’s the problem, but also the strength. That fragmentation allows room to experiment.

It also puts pressure on the underlying protocols/specs to be air-tight. If you have just one implementation to support, you can do whatever. If you have to support 15, all with different goals and constraints, you gotta be pretty damn careful.

So in the end, we get foundational systems that are able to evolve over time instead of needing a breaking-change, ground-up rewrite every 2 years.

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
