Mozilla apparently fixed this ( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=815006 ) so it sounds like forks don't have that issue now?

No, it was a trademark issue, raised by Mozilla ( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354622 ) and seemingly resolved on their (Mozilla's) end ( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugr

PPAs is what launchpad calls apt repositories. It's possible to use launchpad to host apt repositories for Debian stable suites (testing/unstable would likely be more of a pain, but I haven't tried that) by specifying what su

Really, there isn't an issue around fingerprinting? https://twitter.com/denschub/status/1582730985778556931

I wish I could get the telemetry, so I know when the modem wasn't working and needed a restart, or the NBN is just down... I'm not what networks you're comparing the NBN with, but NZ is far better... Also, not sure where

Where are you getting the $6m loss from? I can't see anything about it online.

Except using a socket involves a different process, so you may get a different result than you expect (given namespaces). I'm not that familiar with plan9 (which is where I think most of the namespacing concepts came from), does it all

We do, it's nss (which you can configure via nsswitch.conf), which is what the go toolchain is no longer compiling against.

No, it's related to grant requirements around Plan S ( https://telescoper.wordpress.com/2023/03/02/article-processi... ).

Astronomy does better than a fair few of the physics subfields at arxiv usage (optics is especially bad from what I hear).

I think it's due to Plan S, see https://telescoper.wordpress.com/?s=plan+s .

The majority was already open and accessible via https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/ . The rest would be on arxiv.

by aragilar 4y ago
There was already free access, it's called arxiv. The value of MNRAS it was free to publish in, so no, not a win in any way.

by aragilar 4y ago
While for other fields Gold Open Access may be a good thing, in astronomy it is worse than the status quo. Most papers were on arxiv, so people could read for free anyway. I've already seen comments saying we should switch to PASA whic

Gmail has had the "important" flag for ages, and that's done automatically. The issue is training the AI to work for your data (e.g. I find Gmail still hasn't picked up the differences in spam I get, and so some specif

There are numerous static analysis tools for Python that predate type annotations, the biggest of which are pylint and pyflakes.

The obvious next question being, what's the difference between ML and data analysis from the perspective of the survey participants (is ML a strict subset)? Given the values don't add up to 100%, there's likely lots of overla

I think the main reason Ruby has avoided this (like most other newer languages) is the lack of a numeric/scientific ecosystem, which is where the real mess begins. Science code never dies (because the rewrite almost never implements ev

To science majors? No. It lacks so many of the things you'd need to get them started (e.g. a REPL/notebook server, interactive plotting, a "here's everything you need" install (a.k.a conda)), and most (but not all)

Now we teach them Python, because the ecosystem and mindshare is there. But why didn't Perl or Ruby (or Tcl) win? It seems like Ruby didn't get the right ecosystem around it, but Perl has PDL (which does seem to predate much of th

You could look at Australia (which has multiple "rural" parties), and which uses RCV (called preferential voting here).

I find it somewhat ironic given current GNOME that when I was choosing between GNOME 2 or KDE 3 back in the day, GNOME 2 won as bits wouldn't float off my screen...

The moat for JavaScript is web-frontend, otherwise it would not be used (note the current rewriting of most of its tooling into non-JS languages). I would not call it beginner-friendly, stable, or good for quick scripts (does node come with

If you're talking about the library I think you are, from what I could see there weren't any tests of the numerics (nor comparisons of the output from competing libraries), which is quite concerning? I do think Rust will make inro
