Note that Meson does not generate CMake files. It generates MSVC or ninja files.

It's the MSVC linker that would complain. The problem is that the C runtimes used by MSVC and gfortran (whose own runtime library is written in C) are not ABI-compatible. The hack that numpy used was to link the Fortran objects into a

According to (second-hand) experience with auditors with respect to open source, they were quite open to considering things like CI, good commit messages etc. are useful when evaluating the development process, and even considered them suff

If pulling the state goes through the cloud app it is their (self-inflicted) problem.

I don't do full CI for every commit but I do run the relevant unit tests (or all of them depending on the change and the project) and ensure that they pass.

All commits are good points and potentially useful points. Was the bug in the refactoring? In the feature itself? In the resolution of merge conflicts? You can only answer if you don't squash, and it becomes easier to fix the bug if yo

The point of the parent comment is exactly that you should clean up the history before merging to a public branch, so that you can use bisect, even if so far you had wip wip doh wip as the commit messages. The way to get there is to have

Ok, then the answer is "they do use a slightly different version of the tool than what you learnt at school. That version is more rigorous (which is why they like it) and in that version 1 is neither a prime nor a composite. In the ver

It only makes sense to define factorization on numbers that don't have an inverse, otherwise you can make infinite factorizations of a number by multiplying by a number that has an inverse and then by its inverse. Therefore it makes se

Not that there is any reason why git has to forbid the existence of empty tree objects. (Fun fact, all such empty trees would be deduplicated to a single object).

Lightweight tags are simply references to commits that lie in refs/tags instead of refs/heads. Annotated tags are references to tag objects rather than commit objects. In both cases, the purpose of the reference is to give the obj

The case of having a singular at the end of a GET is so rare that it should be easy to disambiguate. I have a project where one of the main objects is a "series", it's clear what "GET /series" and "GET &#x

"POST /students" is a create action, but verbs are fine for individual entities, for example "POST /students/ID/enroll".

Has it become some weird kind of virtue signaling to replace Red Hat with IBM?

I mean they were, but maybe sometimes for backups of hard drives? Certainly not as a common medium to exchange software.

Remember we're talking about late 80s/early 90s. Self extractors were how you distributed binaries on floppies to people that might not have had PKZIP and couldn't just go and download it .

No, QEMU only supports up to AVX2. Based on the time it took to implement AVX and AVX2, I expect it would be about a month of full time work to implement AVX512F, AVX512BW and AVX512VL (it would not be much simpler to implement only one of

The point is being able to discuss and archive things via email. Using a zip file makes this moot.

Arvind Krishna seems like a pretty cool guy though, and definitely has engineering background. It's interesting that everybody focuses on Red Hat after acquisition but no one ever asks how IBM is doing now. Maybe it's delusional t

Easier to do if you are literally interoperating with things in orbit, than if it's just software.
