For example a relatively modern email protocol: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8621.html

FastMail is using JMAP, a protocol designed to support push notifications. MXRoute is stuck with SMTP/IMAP which don't support those. There might be a different reason, but I think this is probably the core issue here

This is an issue with nixpkgs not nix. Google could've just bootstrapped their own nixpkgs from scratch if they wanted to, see Guix (not a perfect example but still). Creating a whole new tool is still completely unnecessary

nixpkgs already has 107158 packaged libraries/executables. Nix has infrastructure to support arbitrary build systems and can create docker images. I fail to see any advantages of creating a more narrow version of it that has fewer uses and has to start from scratch

So, according to this definition, neither Mistral nor Facebook provide open-source models? Finally, they would need to stop calling their models open-source?

Yeah, for me too. It looks incredibly broken as of right now and I don't even understand how. I'd say that it's okay if it was an alpha of a completely new editor, but it's a fork of a one that already works well, so idk, I don't expect it to go anywhere

Hey, thanks a lot for the reply. I have just moved from go where there is (still a binary though), but an amazing debugger, offering great experience, with lldb on the other side not able to even expand a enum correctly

Debugging Rust with Miri

Weethet — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 19:21:22 +0000

I am wondering, why is there still no debugger for Rust using Miri. We basically have an interpreter and still, we use binary instead. This is weird, innit?
