In a compressed format, later commits would be added as a delta of some kind, to avoid increasing the size by the whole tree size each time. To make shallow clones efficient you'd need to rewrite the compressed form such that earlier c

Not in the same sense. An analogy might be: apt is like fetching a git repo in which all the packages are submodules, so lazily fetched. Some of the package managers in the article seem to be using a monorepo for all packages - including th

Yeah not trying to imply the GP did. Just offering another perspective.

Non-neurotypicals can receive bad treatment from neurotypicals. But, it's also a trap to start thinking that neurotypicals are 100% intolerant. The corollary of not knowing when they're offending people, is that they also don&#x27

That's unevenly distributed. Lots of people in London do walk or use public transport, but you still need many delivery drivers, tradespeople, etc and it doesn't make sense for them all to live outside the city. And people who don

London is edging in that direction with the introduction of "low traffic neighbourhoods". Basically this involves preventing vehicles using them as a through route, by limiting some connections to only emergency vehicles. The prob

The thing that is supposed to happen next is high-bandwidth flash. In theory, it could allow laptops to run the larger models without being extortionately costly, by loading directly from flash into the GPU (not by executing in flash) But

The original ones yes. They are already banned - but the next generation of fluorinated refrigerants are apparently ok for the ozone layer but have a greenhouse effect. That's my understanding anyway, I'm far from an expert. Edite

These days CO2 is actually quite commonly used in air-conditioners as a refrigerant, R-744. Fluorinated gases like Freon are being phased out due to being even worse for global warming.

Ahh forgot about this comment, sorry. Bash was designed decades before the current security environment, and contains many insecure-by-default mechanisms, many of which operate without you explicitly invoking them. Just for starters, in a

Indeed. "Nothing to hide, nothing to fear" has always contained implicit threat.

GLR C++ parsers were for a short time in use on production code at Mozilla, in refactoring tools: Oink (and it's fork, pork). Not quite sure what ended that, but I don't think it was any issue with parsing.

Dr Shapiro has "open to work" on his LinkedIn right now, FWIW. Don't know what kind of work he's interested in today. I followed his work on bitc for a while (it was his alternative to rust).

Do each of the other filesystems have their own quirks list? That seems suboptimal. Oh, I guess it's because it's in the user space mkfs tool of each, not the kernel.

"bash based safety layer" Is this a joke? I have a lot of respect for the authors of bash, but it is not up to this task. Does anyone have recommendations for an agent sandbox that's written by someone who understands securi

The stereotype, which is sometimes true, is that people do that kind of degree because they want to understand and solve their own issues. Those who are are interested in people as such, can be more drawn to anthropology.

In most cases the data a kalman filter is working on has some precision which is much lower than the available precision in the floating format you are using. The problem is inherently a statistical one, since the expected precision depends

Dram alternates between feast and famine; it's the nature of a business when the granularity of investment is so huge (you have a fab or you don't, and they cost billions -maybe trillions by now). So, it will swing back. Unfortuna

Remember how slow early machines were. An unnecessary additional 'exec' would have seemed very wasteful, especially as most of the initial uses would have been shell scripts, so you would be execing the shell twice.

Interesting take! I wasn't around for perl 4. I didn't like perl 5, but I was quite interested in 6 at the start. For a moment it looked like Larry Wall had really reflected on the problems of perl 5, and was going to make a new l

This is just a guess, but maybe "inconsistent" identifiers are a good signal of being an attack bot instead of a user. Not defending that btw. Auto-generated signals are likely a problem for any desktop Linux user, not just Asahi,
