That’s exactly the whole point of this work: that too much effort is spent developing new widgets instead of figuring out why governance or society is not delivering peoples needs and what to do about it. This needs interdisciplinary appro

Or your university might have it's own backup system. We have a massive central tape-based archive that you can run nightly backups to.

Well the title is scientific computing, which includes HPC but not only. Anyway the fact is that a lot of "HPC" in university clusters is smaller jobs that are too much for an average PC to handle, but still fit into a single typi

I've been running a group server (basically a shared workstation) for 5 years and it's been great. Way cheaper than cloud, no worrying about national rules on where data can be stored, no waiting in a SLURM batch queue, Jupyter no

There's a lot of jokes about 'old' languages but when you see the amount of churn with the new ones cough javascript cough then you appreciate how it's nice have something written once and for all. Plenty of FORTRAN

You might as well implement goto while you’re at it.

A bit absurd to roll out all these fertility stats but never even mention social issues behind these trends, like a patriarchal culture, excessive over work, poor conditions for retirees…

I think a lot of people assume that they won't like a custom language (I did too) but the reality is when you start using GDScript it just isn't such an issue. One of the huge advantages of GDScript is how deeply in integrates wit

Seeing tons of really interesting an innovative e-bike designs, its very exciting. Electric cargo trikes are becoming common where I live, for professionals I can really seem them replacing the old 'plumber's minivan'. And we

Adam should write a book “how to fail upwards in silicon valley” What is infuriating is that there is so much great work done by great people on building strong resilient and affordable towns which are a pleasure to live and work in, but th

If managed mysql is enough for you then probably no need to change. If you have more significant compute needs a dedicated server can start to make sense. Linux admin is becoming a bit of a lost art in this container-everything world but ac

The road to failure is also paved with rejection letters so I’m not sure it’s a terribly helpful observation.

Always glad to see funds go to a great and well managed Open source project like Blender! That said, looking up what the hell is 'Decentraland' and how it works is to dive into a dystopian nightmare. Cutesy illustrations tell you

It really does have to do with the number of maintainers. A huge part of the work is not just building a package manager, but coordinating many stakeholders to all use it. That would also mean building a package manager that covers all of t

Worth noting that the PSF has no authority to tell people how to do their packaging. Rust's Cargo is 20 years newer than Python and benefits from those decades of experience. It's a very different proposition to start a new system

Everyone complained, no one addressed the fact that for years the whole of python packaging was handled by like 2.5 people. But as a rant this, like most of the ‘but just fix it’ rants, fails to acknowledge the hugely diverging needs of dif

> It also seems bold to have a public offering when they've never even shipped a vehicle to a customer. Rivian did the same thing and everyone seems to be creaming themselves over it.

Interesting they mentioned Jupyter Notebooks but not NBDime https://github.com/jupyter/nbdime which is a Jupyter plugin specifically to address this problem. Without it, diffing notebooks is not feasible.

My impression is that the CCP is at a point where it's become an echo chamber that believes its own propaganda. This kind of aggressive move is likely seen as projecting strength internally.

Pretty sure that 1% is more of an ironic quip than a statistic. Since the things they can’t handle are listed include ‘cyclists’ and ‘rain’.
