Part of the challenge is unless you know what the "news reporter's" role is (are they just reporting what they see/have heard vs. analysis/opinion and what their relevant expertise is; I'd suggest good news pro

Yes, but it's (probably) the least worse thing they can do given how the "PyPI" ecosystem behaves. As PyPI does not allow replacement of artefacts (sdists, wheels, and older formats), and because there is no way to update&#x2

Honestly, they should be using conda (if they're working on their laptops) and the cluster package manager otherwise.

Because it broke backwards compatibility? It's worth noting that setuptools is in a similar situation to pip, where any change has a high chance of breaking things (as can be seen by perusing the setuptools and pip bug trackers). PEP 5

But my nearly 10 year old ThinkPad hasn't needed upgrades to last that long, it just has decent build quality. Will the Frameworks last that long? A good test would be to work out what's the oldest in-use Framework (which should b

notcurses is probably the best option for getting the best you can out of a random terminal (see https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses/blob/master/TERMIN... which details the status of most terminals

There are multiple graphics mechanisms on terminals (both real, and the virtual ones that have replaced them), the issue is which ones your terminal supports (probably none, given most terminal/libraries are bad at supporting features

I think you're forgetting perl (plus other unix utils) and matlab. PDL (perl data language) was a thing, as was IDL (and other similar tools).

The wheels will most likely come with openblas, so while you can get the original blas (which is really only slow by comparison, for small tasks it's likely users won't notice), this is generally not an issue.

I'm confused, surely if apps are depending on old, unsupported runtimes (which therefore likely have security issues), flathub has some interest in ensuring users of these apps are notified of this? I would think a policy of requiring

And astronomy tends to throw up technology that becomes widely used (WiFi being the obvious example) or becomes of "interest" to governments. I expect that AMR code will be used/ported to nuclear simulations if it proves to b

Do we know how the code was called, was it linked in or was it via IPC (the latter seems most likely to me, and then the question is does the IPC framework support a rich type system)?

In which code though? What counts as a security vulnerability (does the design of the play store such that searching for an app and the top result not being that app count)? I like everyone else want a secure browser, but my secure browser

But how many breaches get CVEs (or are caused by them)? Given how much users (and their data) interact via the web vs any other platform, reducing the breaches of services is going to improve users lives more than reducing the number of CVE

But either you're not doing anything that is OS specific (and then you probably could just use pip), or the OS does make a difference, and hence you need to reflect that in the lock file.

But why change the default? Is this in the top 10 things you would do after installing your distro of choice? To me, this indicates a lack of judgement around what should be prioritised, which is reflected across the many issues the post ra

It's got a more modern design while having a drop-in CLI interface to docker (and also if needed a near-drop-in replacement for the docker socket API). This makes it the preferred backend for tools like distrobox.

In theory one can set TERMINFO to the actual terminfo string, but sadly openssh (and I suspect other ssh clients/servers) don't pass that on. Has the ghostty terminfo been added to ncurses?
