I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as @qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

  • For the people expecting this to be a CPU with a big-little architecture or NVIDA GPU, it was both.

    The Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 review unit is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H “Arrow Lake H” Processor, 64GB of LPDDR5-7467 memory, NVMe storage, and NVIDIA RTX Pro 1000 graphics. The Intel Core Ultra 7 255H consists of 16 cores between six P cores, 8 E cores, and two LPE cores. The Core Ultra 7 255H has a 28 Watt base power rating and 115 Watt maximum power rating.

    There used to be performance issues with mixed P and E cores and Linux, but I thought that was solved. Could that still be causing this discrepancy?

    I really like how I can turn everything into immutable val’s and represent different paths as expressions, it can IMO really reduce the complexity of a function and makes it easier to spot bugs. I’ve been migrating some code of a FOSS app to Kotlin and was able to shrink most classes by like 30% while making it easier to read. The only thing I dislike about it is the additional syntax for various things, I could do without having multiple ways to write a constructor.

    Also, like, fuck golang, it’s such a shit language and the compiler does very little to protect you

    I never understood why people like it. It’s a “new” language, and it still doesn’t seem to get the basics right. No proper null handling, and don’t get me started on interface{}. It’s like they set out to build a better alternative to C++ while ignoring the other developments outside C/C++ for the past 15 years. The compiler is damn quick, though.





  • I was thinking of this myself, but I think there are a couple challanges.

    To gain widespread adoption, you need trust. This is complicated when you have a large amount of vendors. How are people going to access it? Will they go through different sites? How are you going to handle payments? And what if you buy multiple products from different vendors at once? How do you deal with a vendor misbehaving? Do you deferate with them, what if others don’t? What if a vendor spams or uses fall advertising?

    I don’t think a federated webshop with the current fediverse model works, but I think it’s still possible with more organization.

    There could be non-profit’s or coop’s that manages the single customer facing website, moderates the site, and other matters that need to be handled centrally. Similar to how there are people organizing real life markets that bring the stalls, advertise the event locally, etc.

    The software behind the web store would be an open source project which receives funding through the aforementioned organizations.
