It's not the toolkit (as they work on X11 and other OSes with the existing toolkits), it's Wayland that's the issue (there are a series of Wayland protocols to implement this, but they are being blocked).

Report it to the ACCC as well, the more complaints they get the more likely they'll take up the issue.

Searching bcachefs on LWN ( https://lwn.net/Search/DoTextSearch ) does make for a somewhat interesting read e.g. https://lwn.net/Articles/717379/ (from 2017) which suggests the disc format woul

It's also effectively what the big cloud vendors do with their monorepos. This makes sense when you have upstreams which are slow at upgrading (e.g. it looks like Debian is upgrading packages packages using older bootstrap to bootstrap

That still doesn't mean getenv would be safe. Unless you know nothing uses **environ (e.g. by breaking the ABI, which no-one will do because it'll break everything), you can't rely on getenv being safe.

My understanding is ESO uses local labour where possible (e.g on building the ELT, maintenance, catering, transport), so it's not like it's one guy in a shed, there are jobs and economic benefits. That's why this seems so con

No, the Vera Rubin Observatory is on Cerro Pachón ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_C._Rubin_Observatory ) rather than Cerro Paranal ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_Large_Telescope ), the maps

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but I though Paranal beat Mauna Kea (and some basic google searches aren't throwing up anything that makes me question it, e.g. https://www.eso.org/gen-fac/pubs/astclim/

The plan of "don't build a major industrial centre 5km from the best site for optical astronomy in the world, build it somewhere else" seems like a perfect viable one to me.

This feels like a very local setup, in that it optimises for what you run locally on your machine, as opposed to the most modern you can get when connecting to machines you can't install things on/have limited control (and so you

I did that, then I needed to tweak things so I added options, then I needed to use the package somewhere that needed to be self-contained, so I started copy-pasting ;). I've done similar things with makefiles, tox configs, linter setti

I fully expect fish 4.0 to be in openwrt (because openwrt runs on x86_64), but what percentage openwrt machines have the space to run it would be interesting (I suspect it won't be an issue, as likely those near the lower limit of open

Yeah, it's somewhat interesting that they point to Debian's popcon (which is opt-in), when the statistics are basically coming from amd64, whereas I think it would be much more interesting (if possible) to see what the number of i

The Turing Test is in the same vein as the Drake Equation: a means to focus thought on how to approach finding a solution, not to find a definitive answer (and who's existence in pop culture makes it a bigger thing than it is). The ori

Why does conda or bazel exist then? If you're willing to limit yourself to pure Python plus a sprinkling of non-python for crypto, a single language with IPC over HTTP (i.e. Go) or run in a locked-down effectively mono-lingual environm

Probably I misread the original announcement, but I got the impression this was a pilot to adding more rust to curl (and is exactly what a rewrite would start to look like)?

These servers are kinda tiny, and ignore the cost of storage. From the article, $252,000/y for 1 PB is crazy, and that's just storing it. There's also the CapEx vs OpEx aspect.

by aragilar 2y ago
I'm confused why you would even need AWS then (what's running on the VMs)? My impression is the standard compute (as in CPUs+RAM) isn't expensive, it's the storage (1 PB is less than half a rack physically now, comparing

Fundamentally, conda is like a linux distro (or homebrew): it is cross-language package manager designed to work with a coherent set of packages (either via the anaconda channel or conda-forge). uv is currently a different installer for PyP
