The term "Dynamic programming" comes from mathematics of the 1940s before modern programming languages even existed. It's about a certain way to do optimization. This is also how it is used by "leetcode enthusiasts"

Unfortunately, Python minor version changes are neither forward nor backward compatible.

Reading the section about resolved reminds me of musl having a "broken" stub resolver implementation for years (whenever the dns payload was larger than 512 bytes). "Broken" because the TCP fallback was supposedly intent

I wish flatpak had proper integration into the host system's CLI (like snap does quite well). flatpak run org.blub.foo is unergonomic.

Weston developers recently NACKd the window placement protocol ( https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/m... ). I believe this one of the features pcsx2 wants to see merged. Hopefully, this

Seems like a company called the "The Blockchain Group" owns bountysource and they just started ghosting users. Safe to assume the money is lost. Is the blockain group insolvent?

Can you elaborate what you exactly mean by that? The soviet union and nazi germany both invaded poland and it partitioned with a border agreement (1941). Before and during that they had a bunch of trade agreements (German–Soviet Commercial

As a distro I wouldnt want to rely on uefi implementations that range from ok to garbage tier (no cmdline arguments, hidden boot selection menu etc) I want to enter a sane booting environment as soon as possible (gummiboot, refind, grub). A

I updated my asus mainboard recently too. It was straightforward: Copy the new firmware image into the efi partition somewhere. Reboot. Select the efi fat32 partition and the firmware blob therein in ez flash. Update. Why format an usb stic

In GNU/Linux, static libraries are precompile object files (.a are nearly indistinguishable from .o files) Obviously it is not the same at all (LTO, inlining etc. Indeed in some cases API and ABI breakage requires you to recompile your

The distro maintainers take your source code and package it. If they need to update the program due to an outdated dependency they don't need to recompile the whole program but rather just relink their cached object files with the new

I'm not saying you need to never use dynamic libraries. Some tools (especially handling/supporting puligins) obviously should make use of dlopen and co. It's just doesn't make sense in my head why e.g. nano dynamically l

The end user gets a single statically linked binary which is what matters. The quoted sentence refers to distro maintainers providing new binaries.

Dynamic linking is in my opinion not that useful anymore in this day and age where the few MB of RAM and disk space you save is not worth the hassle. The amount of dynamic linking issues I encountered on GNU/Linux was insane (fuck libs

I consider Devuan just under maintained Debian without systemd (I personally consider that a drawback but for some that is a big selling point).

Must really depend on the field. People around me are mostly running gnu/linux or macos (roughly 80/20 split). I think some have dual-boot with windows.

On nine servers (each 512 GiB RAM) I have access to one experienced an ECC error back in november. My local workstation (64 GiB RAM) logged two errors back in december.

Like the Weimarer Republik (in reality still called Deutsches Reich in the republic's constitution). Nevertheless, it is useful to disguish historical periods of the country.
