What is this, a crossover episode?
Add a third group: toddlers
This is very true. I don’t know why they’re so captivated by them.
Did they finally merge the En Passant fork into the master branch? Been waiting to update my board to the latest version.
bro hasn’t updated his dependencies since the 16th century. You’re cooked, I bet you haven’t even read the man page for Ruy Lopez.
EDIT: People these days are trying to get the 960 branch to be seen as legit, but struggling.
I thought Chess 2.1 was the standard by now. Curious oder versions are still around
2.1 is the most common version, but it’s way out of date. The current standardized version is 9.6.0.
I don’t even know which Linux specific fork you are referring to, it could be either a git fork or fork(2).
The excitement is for fork bombs, clearly.
I assume the excitement is for git forks rather than process forking
Speak for yourself
Also getting weirdly excited by forks:
My missus in a charity shop (US: Thrift store?) or antique shopHoly hell!
New response just dropped
I almost exclusively role my eyes when I see a new fork, the whole problem with Linux (distros) is fragmentation among the developer base they literally cannibalized themselves and honestly a new distro is not worth eating human flesh.
It’s the problem, but also the strength. That fragmentation allows room to experiment.
It also puts pressure on the underlying protocols/specs to be air-tight. If you have just one implementation to support, you can do whatever. If you have to support 15, all with different goals and constraints, you gotta be pretty damn careful.
So in the end, we get foundational systems that are able to evolve over time instead of needing a breaking-change, ground-up rewrite every 2 years.
