<p>Coming from the perspective of an eclipse fan, why is VS code the defacto answer nowadays?<p>Im forced to use vs code (so biased), but everything seems worse than eclipse, plus these repeated security issues from malware laced projects.<p>Theres been several posts about infected projects by fake recruiters here in the last year or two.<p>Im guessing the answer is probably Java is why eclipse is out of favor.</p>

<p>Its an alternative libc instead of gnu.<p>I've generally seen it for embedded systems due to smaller size and you can statically link it.<p>But there are some compatibility drawbacks for non musl binaries as well as source that intentionally or unintentionally relies on glibc behavior or non standard functionality.<p>You don't want to mix and match your libc's on a running system.<p>Buildroot may be a good way to start to play with musl (or uClibc, another small c library).</p>

<p>Meetup was great until it became so expensive to run a glorified calendar+ email list. $180+ a year is silly for small groups.<p>But meetup was awesome for discoverability of small local niche groups.<p>Manual link sharing doesn't help with local groups.<p>The alternative was Facebook groups for free, but has awful discoverability and awful event calendars. But most people have Facebook, so thats the default now.<p>How does this benefit me as an organizer? How can local people find my event without me having to spam it on services(Facebook, etc) that they already have accounts on?</p>

<p>I enjoy murderbot, but each novella is pretty short, so there isn't a lot of source material to draw from for the upcoming show, and original material for a show isn't always of the same caliber as the source unfortunately.<p>But my biggest concern about the show is, all the internal dialogue by murderbot, how do you translate that to the screen? Voiceovers maybe, but im not sure. Although i haven't listened to the audio books to see how they portray the internal dialogue.<p>That and murderbots androgynous otherness, although the casting of Alexander Skarsgård for the role is probably a good one, he's definitely played similarly weird characters before.</p>

<p>Bobiverse books are full length. And highly enjoyable, but short "chapters".<p>Murderbot is on kindle unlimited (except for the newest), but yeah $15 for a novella starts adding up quickly.<p>Bobiverse is also on kindle unlimited, except for the newest book which is only on audible for now.</p>
