People pass around stickers (or at least used to) in hacker events saying that so there has to be something to it, right?

Protesting the term is, I'd wager, motivated by something like: it sounds innocuous to nontechnical people and obscures what's really going on.


You can implement the graphics part of it using WebGL. It's strictly a graphics API for drawing to the screen. But there are specific libraries for eg physics that you can use in your WebGL 2 app, or entire 3D engines (like those you mentioned) targeting WebGL around. Or you can DIY.

> is open gl the non web version of web gl? or are they completely different?

The current version of WebGL, WebGL 2, is like OpenGL ES 3.0.


Most of free software (incl the BSD stuff) was like that. The bazaar was an attempt to characterise the new linux style way of doing it.

Makes me realize that "Worse is Better" was, in today's terms, apologism for vibe-coding.

Mapped to modern concepts I'd say it was about iterating from a MVP.

"Gabriel argued that early Unix and C, developed by Bell Labs, are examples of the worse-is-better design approach." Whereas vibe-coding is not reviewing what code goes in, just judging it by whether it seems to work or not. I guess a common factor would be willingness to compromise on soundness.


> In such an environment the container would crash, we see the violations, delete it and dont' have to worry about it.

This is the interesting part. What kind of UI or other mechanisms would help here? There's no silver bullet for detecting and crashing on "something bad". The adversary can test against your sandbox as well.


Seems it's the other way around: the README cites the months older sunset announcement as the motivation.


Haven't seen this - shouldn't this always work on unixy platforms? If using readline/editline it works, and if built without it also works.


It’s an internal, custom, vaguely UNIX-like shell in Windows. Typically I’m running Python from bash; Ctrl-U works under bash, but not Python.


Gamescope is custom sw built by Valve, and all the games run under X (via Xwayland). I'd suspect you could build similar functionality without Wayland (for example a custom X server talking to directly to the kernel DRM).

I'd wager in a alternate universe where Wayland didn't have all the mindshare, Steam Deck would still be a product (unless some butterfly effect nixed it).


Data point: On my current and previous work laptops (iGPU ThinkPads) I switched from the default Wayland back to X11 because of various bugs (hangs, stutters, resume failures), in X11 they don't happen, seems to work flawlessly.

Sometimes it's worse to live in a mess that is being constantly fixed I guess.


From military consequences pov, EU isn't a military alliance but it would of course also be attacking NATO.


The EU absolutely is a military alliance as well.


That's a heterodox interpretation. Something akin to it was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_European_Union but it's no more.



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_military_alliances

The EU treaty has a clause that calls for assistance for part of the members (who are not neutral) but there's no military structure outside NATO.

There's also a perpatual public debate about whether EU should become a military alliance. eg https://theloop.ecpr.eu/can-the-eu-form-an-autonomous-milita...

In practical terms, in event of a invasion, only NATO has a organisation set up for coordinated response.


You are really completely clueless, I have no idea why you keep posting comments that contradict your own comments but fine, whatever.

There are four different mutual defense pacts in Europe and there is an umbrella one and they all operate independently of NATO. And then there is NATO, with or without the USA.


Hey, a bit of civility please.

I assume the contradiction you refer to is that EU has this clause but it's still not considered a military alliance? Maybe you read the term differently. It doesn't mean it has zero defense dimensions, it's that its mission or capability are not military. That's why NATO is the one a would-be invader needs to worry about wrt military consequences.


In WW2, was there an existing organisation for a coordinated response? In the Korean War? Was NATO the organization that coordinated allies in the Persian Gulf War?


Of course military alliances can be formed after wars start, I'm not saying this couldn't happen in Europe. But it's different to have a military alliance existing responding to a conflict (or better yet preventing the conflict, as the military alliance served as a deterrent).


They do document how to build and run, in the OS specific build docs. Eg this: https://github.com/canonical/multipass/blob/main/BUILD.linux...

I think pointing end users to use the end user packaged app is fine, as is to trust people who are comfortable with building from source to find the build docs from the repo.
