I use rclone and git-annex together (there's a git-annex special remote plugin for rclone). Rclone handles interfacing with the various cloud providers, while git-annex tracks where the files are.

Wow, this is really nice!

Assuming `/bin/sh` is bash is going to break on a whole bunch of systems (not just MacOS), and zsh implements POSIX. Also, this is for bun, so I'd be concerned that you're missing git on Windows.
574.
by aragilar 3y ago
Uh, MacOS has zsh (which has far more features than most other POSIX shells), and even old bash has POSIX compatibility. Your TV/IoT device likely has busybox, as does your router. You install git on windows, it's got a (POSIX) sh

Those likely got cut because the funding went to Microsoft.

Sorry, what? 100TB is stingy as! At my institution, there's approximately 50000 students and staff, if 100TB is all they get, that's only 2GB each (and that's not just for email, that's for all storage)!

Just FYI, but you do not need to switch away from setuptools if you do not want to. `setup.py` isn't going away, rather it is no longer the interface that "build frontends" (i.e. pip, but also pypa/build) use to build

There's also scikit-build ( https://scikit-build.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ), a wrapper around CMake, like how meson-python is a wrapper around meson, and enscons ( https://github.com/dholth&#x2F

Would you move from Postgresql to Oracle? It depends what you mean by "data science", but for stats, R or Origin (also expensive) would be better. Matlab (another paid option) is typically used for for numerical work (e.g. signal

by aragilar 3y ago
No, Mathematica is proprietary (think Oracle).
581.
by aragilar 3y ago
My understanding (from people who properly learnt Mathematica, and understood the language) is it is a lisp, but it's never taught that way, never explained, you're just searching for the magical function that does the thing you w

I've seen some people use it like you would use Matlab, R or Python (I wouldn't recommend it...), but it can (mostly) do symbolic stuff quite easily. I've seen it used in maths and physics, mostly by theorists. If you've

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned neocities ( https://neocities.org/ ). It's open source ( https://github.com/neocities ).

https://git-annex.branchable.com/ is the tool you want.

It does seem unlikely, but playing with the example UA in curl (as noted in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38925015 ) seems to show it's the combination of "Android" and "Firefox" that causes t
586.
by aragilar 3y ago
It's interesting if you remove "Android" from the UA, then it sends more, but remove "Mobile" it still sends only the "doctype", and removing "Firefox" fixes it entirely.

They include CAs that users have added (I'm guessing that information is in the OS root store), not CAs that comes with the OS. This is presumably so that you only need to load your custom CA once to the whole OS, not for each app.

Ubuntu LTS has the same frequency as Debian Stable releases (2 years). There are the non-LTS Ubuntu releases, but they are supported for a short period (I think 6-9 months, but I'd need to check, and the files are deleted soon after su

Define "correctness bugs". Does the code leak memory (which is not ideal)? That's only an issue for the scientist if it prevents/invalidates the science. But if the pattern hides how something is expressed, or someone un

Bad code written by software engineers is worse than bad code written by scientists, as the former takes more effort to fix than the latter (given the pathologies mentioned). It's naturally preferable to not have bad code, but it tha

Did no-one check the maths? There's a difference between having a full test suite, and someone trying some choice values, but I'd expect both would pick up something like that.

But 99% (probably 100%) of scientific computing users do need FFI, hence why there's no overlap. While there may be other compilers, my impression is most Go devs, and hence most Go libraries, assume you're using the standard go

I'm not sure NixOS users are that different from users of other distros, all want a tool that properly manages their systems (rather than random packages being scattered everywhere).

But Go lacks a good FFI story (see CGo discussions), so Go has no hope here.
595.
by aragilar 3y ago
What's the BEAM languages' FFI situation like? I've got the impression that the more higher-level concepts a language supports, the worse it is to do FFI.
