Great. Now you just need to find an economic and clean way to make large amounts of hydrogen. Nuclear power is probably the best option given that you can use it as a source high process heat source.

No, Upstart’s design was so bad that even Scott James Remnant (the creator of Upstart) admitted it’s design was inherently flawed. The biggest problem with Upstart was that it put the dependency chain upside down and just started a service

Which is not that uncommon, FWIW. binutils and gdb were also moved into a common repository and gcc merged some repositories as well.

Stop shutting down nuclear power plants, seriously. Compare France and Germany on electricitymap.org and ourworldindata.org to understand why volatile renewables don’t help while nuclear massively helps to reduce CO2 emissions!

A small scale test doesn’t have any impact on market prices and thus does not reflect reality.

The incentive for such jobs will be higher wages which in return means higher prices which eventually compensates for the whole UBI in the first place. Money _cannot_ have any value if it’s not backed by any goods or labor. If your baker ge

It’s an SI unit and directly defined through the speed of light which is a universal constant number. While you need „second“ to define the „meter“, the former is not derived from other units but from an observation of nuclear reactions in

I don’t know about the US, but that’s definitely not allowed in Germany. It _must_ be signed by hand and I‘m pretty confident that the packages were rejected because of that. If they aren’t rejected by USPS, they _will_ be rejected by Germa

You are still casting one pointer type into another which can result in unaligned access. If you need to change byte orders, you should use library to achieve that.

But s390x support isn't dropped anywhere. On the contrary, IBM spends a lot of money and efforts to make sure it is well supported by free software.

Well, they could reach out to the Debian or Gentoo community and ask for help. We would be happy to help them.

Why don't they just upgrade GCC to a more recent version. GCC still actively supports SPARC to this date and Rust support is also present and while not perfect, it definitely works. So, while I don't really have a problem with rem

The kernel is regularly shedding off unmaintained code. So the codebase is actually not growing as much as it could.
