Autodesk doesn't sell Scaleform anymore. The latest hotness is stuff like Coherent UI which shoves a Chrome in your game: https://coherent-labs.com/ (I've heard Hummingbird is basically rewritten from scratch and is quite good but I still won't ever touch it)

i wonder how many red hat employees are going to bail. i know ibm is less stuffy than they used to be, but if they try to enforce suits or even dress shirts and khakis they're going to bleed so much staff

not to put too fine a point on it, however many red hat employees bail, even more of them will be laid off assuming ibm's corporate norms prevail it could be that this merger changes ibm for the better. (ha ha)

For comparison amazon provides amazon Linux source code but only to ec2 instances and without any navigable history. To make a corresponding independent distro you’d have to continually pull the srpms out of aws and put them on an ftp server, rebuild them, create an installer (which aws doesn’t need) and so on. Lambda Linux proposes to do this but it’s not in a hurry

amazon linux is just a very broken and hosed up centos so i'm not sure why anyone would want their own copy of it just use centos and skip the middleman

about ten years ago i knew a guy who worked for a large university's IT department they had decided to standardise on gentoo they had a pair of four socket "build servers" on which they compiled patches literally every loving day. their means of deployment? rsync. congratulations, you have reinvented packages, but poorly, without versioning

i thought i read a while ago that some high frequency trading shops were using gentoo for the machines running the HFT code, since they could easily tweak the compiler flags and recompile the whole system and kernel, and that some of the cpu architecture specific tweaks could get them a few percent lower latency/better performance, translating to a great deal of additional money

IBM bought themselves some kernel developers whose new priority will surprisingly be not PC hardware. Meanwhile Microsoft buys influence on the Linux Foundation who pays PC hardware developers.

I know an HFT developer. They make custom kernel patches which they don't send upstream. It's a lot more than using different kernel flags.

and you can have as much versioning and deployment of prebuilt binary packages as you want in gentoo, it's called binhost in portage-land
