It works with python3 just fine. The 'coconut-lang' and 'coconut-lang-git' packages on the AUR both use py3.

It is briefly mentioned in the manpage, https://www.archlinux.org/pacman/PKGBUILD.5.html , but basically a pkgbuild can use a git repo as a source directly. Here's an example: https://aur.archlinux.org&

Canonical is a special case. They are just as much an ISV as a distribution. Conflicts of interest are going to arise.

Around that same period was the peak for plane hijackings - almost one per week in 1969. Cuba was the typical destination, 34 times that year.

This reminds me of something I read on HN a while back and forgot to bookmark. (Naturally I've been unable to find it since.) I think the article was written by a company who made a static code analysis tool. They described how there

Every square CM of the US is mapped as well, and has been for a hundred years. The USGS is very thorough and all of their topo maps are freely available in the public domain.

Grab an AVR microcontroller. Make a clock. Microcontroller-C is extremely different from application-C but there are many less complicated concepts. Like never having to touch memory allocation or string munging.

Hogwatch uses Nethogs too: "Hogwatch uses a light python webserver(bottle) feeding nethogs trace mode output to the frontend (Vue.js) using websockets." I'm not sure why a straightforward graphing project is getting so many

I'll give you non-worthness. Stormia is still extremely bloated compared to Accuweather (which works without JS) and nothing can hold a candle to the efficiency of "telnet rainmaker.wunderground.com"

He didn't assume a normal distribution. It wasn't "within ±15% of the mean". It was "the middle 30% of the range". This means excluding 70% of the population for each factor, regardless of the distribution.

Is native sata that much better than a usb3 adapter? All of the chips that offered sata were SATA 2.0, or 300MB/s. USB3 goes up to 625MB/s. If a board with SATA 3.0 existed, that is still just 600MB/s.

I asked around. It is likely you would need a chroot or at least special multilib/multiarch packages installed. The Debian Wiki has more details: https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port

Only if you order directly from Korea. Normally you buy from a distributor. For example, Ameridroid will be shipping the C2 on March 4th and their fee is $6.75.
