Sure until you can’t with flatpak. Flatpak does not safeguard against system binaries and there are always risks associated with that.

Honestly I think I am going to move on from Programming.dev, it’s filled with script kiddie like you. Good lord.

Fuck y’all. Good evening.

Not necessarily, you still need backups or snapshots especially on home directory in case software have a nasty bug like deleting your data.

Yup and I am getting sick of hearing this even on Arch Linux. Like, mofo, you could literally run a snapshot or backup before upgrading, don’t blame us if you’re yoloing your god damn computer. Windows have exactly the same problem too and this is why we have backups. Christ.

On my Arch Linux Install, I literally have a Pacman Hook that would forcibly run backup and verify the said backup before doing a system-wide update.

How it really works:

Oof, sorry. :( I had hoped that they sorted it out by then…

Maybe try installing swiftshader?

Lol, that one way to put it. Basically a language convergence, not a bad thing to be honest.

Yeah, MLIR is more or less an “IR with Dialects”, a lot of IR language spec share a lot in common with one another, so MLIR try to standardize that similarity between IR. Because of that feature, it reduce amount of IR code that developer have to worry about and they can progressively expand the available dialects for MLIR as they develop a compiler like IREE.

Yup, been writing a new shader language to replace GLSL and HLSL for Vulkan Compute purposed, but I eventually switch from SPIR-V IR to MLIR and use IREE Compiler which accepts the MLIR and compile it to any of CUDA, ROCm, SPIR-V and so forth.

One of the biggest plus with MLIR is that you are also future proofing your code, because that code could feasibly be recompiled for new devices like Neural Net accelerator cards, ASIC, FPGA, and so forth.

Very nice, I was basically forking off Python Lark and rewriting it in C language, with some adjustments to Earley Parser in an experiment to parallelize the processing in Vulkan Compute.

I agree on avoiding on the idea of avoiding having to make your own parser generator, this is precisely what I’m doing and it’s hell. I assumed that you probably want to pick up some understanding on how parser differs when it come to writing grammars. As for ease of use and requiring the least understanding, using something like Earley parser is probably the easiest, it would be slower than other parser algorithms, but it could handle ambiguous grammars making it ideal for first timers to learn how to write a programming language.

Yep, and if open source licensing could be revoked on a whim, you can imagine the chaos that ensued. That would be my understanding as well, old version that have MPL license is perfectly fine to fork off, newer version might not be as it is under a different license. One of the reason why I liked Apache License is that it have make it explicitly clear that it’s irrevocable whereas MPL it is operating on an assumption that it’s not revocable. The most fundamental problem with the legal system in USA is that no law is “set in stone” and leaving things to assumption is open to reinterpretation by the judge who may have sided against you. (Hell, Google vs Oracle on Copyrighted API is still on case-to-case basis, so take it as you will.)

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer. I just share what I learned from Legal Eagle youtube and few other sources.

I definitely recommends that you start learning about the LL(k), LALR, and perhaps even Earley Parser algorithms. I am assuming you have picked up a little bit on LL(1) parser and some basic lexer, so mastering the parser algorithms are basically the next stop for you.

Once you get the grasp of those things, you are well on your way to designing a programming language.
