  • I don’t know anything about quantum computing, but recently I heard a long talk by a quantum-computing expert who were trying to convince us to work on quantum error correction. His (probably optimistic) estimate is that: with a good amount of help on error correction, we might achieve 100 logical qbit in 5 to 10 years.

    Completely unpredicted breakthrough is rare in computer science; if Microsoft’s tech can actually solve quantum computing (as you discribed), it would have made much much bigger wave than this.













  • It is understandable people are frustrated, I am frustrated, and joined several conversation regarding this problem. However, I don’t appreciate some of the rant from many users. This change is certainly out-of-touch, potentially due to them don’t quite foresee the amount of flatpak/kde users who are affected by this change.

    But many complaints have been dangerously close to the line, if not over the line. Their quiet month policy is reasonable IMO, developers need breaks, especially those interacts frequently with the community. Love or hate electron (same apply to CEF), these works clearly bring many wonderful apps into the linux world.

    I personally don’t believe that non-contributors have the right to demand free work from the electron developers.

    I think mixing app and system dependencies is not the best idea, and Linux desktop is still fighting its impact.

    When all the apps on a consumer laptop is expected to depend on the same dependencies, the system likely run into dependency hell, which means many apps needs to be downgraded in order to keep older apps working.

    This mixture of system dependency and app dependency also prevents users to use the the latest version of an app on a hyper stable base system.

    Flatpak basically aim to solve this problem, where each app chooses their own dependencies, so you don’t need to downgrade all your app just because one app depends on python 2.7.
