Yes. Don't forget about non-GNU.

I remember from my Fortran week in university, that Fortran has strict rules about aliasing that allow the compiler to generate more efficient code C in several cases. And I also have read about aliasing bugs/assumptions being wrong in

I agree that the FP part is not the only issue. It's that the community feels a bit more academic/I'll fix this for myself in the way that works best for me. You can indeed achieve some reproducibility with Docker. It's

I love Nix. I use it on my homesteaders, and private laptop. I have seen how it works great in a team, if all are onboard. No place I've worked at was interested in the advantages of Nix though. I wonder if switching to something less

Agreed! And in any case, if the company culture doesn't suit the OP, assholes or not, don't stay. This can be a huge energy leak. I realized this only too late at one of my previous jobs.

Argh. We all have these stories of lost hours because of an assumption that proved to be wrong. Nowadays, whenever I help someone debug an issue, I insist on starting from zero assumptions (by making self depricating jokes, and stating that

Anyone got references to how a monorepo would work for Infrastructure as Code?

I have a few questions about this! 1. Why? To control where the source code is stored? Restricted access to API's or data? Special compute (e.g. GPU/FPGA's) needs? 2. You have managed to make this workable for yourself. How d

They might all be very relevant if the machine learning algorithm behind it decides that it needs more paper clips.

One thing I really like about Doctor Who, is the absurd mis-remebered fake histories they make up for our current era. Hilarious! Puts into perspective how we think about the cultures that came before us.

Nice! A month ago, I scripted https://github.com/moretea/browsers-with-fake-dns as an alternative to editing /etc/hosts. It's a docker container with a BIND DNS server, and chrome/Firefox reachable

I have done exactly this, and am quite happy with the result. I wrote a python script to listen to state changes of a multi select option in Home Assist, that then calls the snapcast control API to switch between different configurations. T

Why would one to have a generator in your own backyard? Is there no power grid available? As for outages, wouldn't a UPS be sufficient? Being Dutch, this does sound a bit like overkill. Most times I see an electric generator like this

I worked around this by creating a button that runs a git commit & push, and an iframe that points to a local running flask app that renders a <pre><code>{{ shell("git status")}}</pre><code>. Not

Given the type of operations one could do such as moving, changing and deleting pieces, that might be quite tricky. With text, it might be relatively easy to compare the final states. In case of free-form graphics, that could be a lot harde

Bonus points for the name! Happy little diagrams. I do think that creating and updating these kind of diagrams would be quite tedious. I'd take a DSL (PlantUML, Graphviz, Structurizr) over graphical tools though. At $JOB we also use Mi

Nixpkgs contains the build / patch instructions for any packages in NixOS. If you want to compile any piece of software available in Nixpkgs, you can override it's attributes (inputs used to build it). One can trivially have an al

I do experience differences on my HifiBerry + MFB (motional feedback) speakers between 320bps mp3 and flac. Mainly the crispness of e.g. percussion and voices is subjectively much, much better. This might of course be the IKEA effect, but I

Awesome build! I built a (terribly hacky) pedal to have a push-to-talk system on my laptop [0]. I use it surprisingly often in meetings to not bother other people with the sound of my mechanical keyboard when making notes. I tried it as a v

1. Go outside, walking for a bit whenever you can pursuade yourself. 2. Don't beat up yourself if you don't do it. 3. Talk to people. Be vulnerable. You'll be surprised how easy people open up. 4. Get some help dealing with y

This reminds me of the tree diagrams I wrote during the Term Rewriting Systems course at the Vrije Universiteit [1]. Functional programming really started to resonate with me at that time. Properties like confluence were very useful to unde

Funny story. In current Dutch, the word 'stoep' means side walk, and has nothing to do with these kind of stairs. I'm the Dutch golden age, in which the inner city of Amsterdam got it's channels, they did add these stoop

How would you debug programs using ioring? With the traditional I/O syscalls, one can use tools like strace to observe the behavior of a program. Would using BPF to instrument the ioring be the way to go?

The swimming club that I'm a member of organized a tour last Sunday in which they swam around the Singel (which is Dutch for a round canal encircling a city). With 5.8km it was quite a swim for the attendants. EDIT: Translated Wikipedi

Yes, used ClamAV. None besides this example file. I use this laptop for $WORK and web browsing, and my warez times are behind me now that the software I want to run is typically open source, and the content I consume can be bought.

Oh, cool! I thought this file was just prefixed with some random garbage. Unrelated: I used this to verify that my daily scheduled full scan of my Linux laptop works. This is required by compliance at $WORK. It reports found viruses via the
