Intel's Open-Source Strategy Is Changing At Odds With The Ethos Of Open-Source
For the past 21+ years of running Phoronix and even longer than that being a Linux user, I have loved and consistently promoted Intel's open-source efforts and leading Linux support. Even through Intel's difficult periods of delayed and stagnate hardware launches, what had remained consistent at the company and rather legendary had been their open-source contributions. From the Linux kernel to compiler toolchains and hundreds -- if not thousands -- of different open-source projects over the past two decades have been advanced thanks to Intel's open-source leadership. It is with much sadness that my faith and confidence in Intel's open-source leadership position is being questioned and questioning the direction they are now apparently steering their open-source focus/philosophy moving forward.

Would you configure your document editor to reject file saves if there is a spelling or grammar error?
Of course not.
So don’t configure pre-commit hooks on your version control tool that prevent committing.

definitely the funniest form of this: I hated autoconf so wrote rust's configure in "plain posix sh" like with shell functions etc. a bunch of that got cribbed to rustup's sh bootstrap which has then been cribbed _everywhere_ like uv and lean's boostrap and whatever, the code totally escaped the lab

jangafx.com/insights/lin... is a good write up of Linux ABI compatibility. They put forward an interesting idea to split up glibc to make the problem more tractable.
I strongly agree with the closing statements that this is a hard problem worth solving.

Everyone is talking about the language choice for rewriting the typescript compiler in Go.
But I see “rewriting a large TS project yields 10x perf wins.”
I thought the TS/JS runtime was faster than this? Is the runtime really that slow? Or were there additional changes to yield the speed ups?
