   In addition to the other responses, the VFX community has strong roots coming in the SGI/IRIX days. When those platforms started to decline due to competition from modern commodity hardware among other reasons, Linux offered the best p

   I was confused at first: Google Duo, not Cisco Duo. I'd completely forgotten about Google Duo.

   I wish I could answer this, but I really can't. Not because of any NDA, just that I don't know. I wasn't involved with the workstation team at Pixar (or ILM at all); I was part of the Network and Server Admin [NSA] team, spec

   Yep, all of their workstations were dual socket servers, where each socket was a workstation VM with PCIe passthrough, and each getting their own hostcard+GPU. Each VM had dedicated memory, but no ownership of the cores they were pinned to,

   The entire studio is VDI based (except for the Mac stations, unsure about Windows), utilizing the Teradici PCoIP protocol, 10Zig zero-clients, and (at the time, not sure if they've started testing the graphical agent), Teradici host ca

   Former Pixar Systems Intern (2019) here. Though I was not part of the team involved in this area, but I have some rough knowledge around some of the parts. > Whats the hardware? It varies. They have several generations of equipment, but

   I don’t think the EFF rep was trying to say AMP is technically integral to the web experience today and can’t be removed (which it definitely can be). Rather that it is a technology that is useful and can be powerful, and we should pursue c

   Comic Shanns (the base of this font) released an update ~12h ago that include a whole bunch of diacritics. If you like Comic Mono, you may wish to run the converter script using the new CShanns release.

    The FTP server stopped shipping actual distro SRPMs with 7. The 8Base is for addons and OpenStack. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25452762 And in terms of rebuild ability, RHEL is not a self-hosting distribution.

    RHEL sources can be retrieved in four ways: 1. On an entitled system, enable the source repos and download the packages. 2. In your account online, you can download the SRPMs for individual packages. 3. In your account online you can downlo

    Hello fellow VFX/Anim admin! And yeah, even though we have the platform agnostic VFX Reference Platform, pretty much everything in this industry revolves around RHEL/CentOS. Except SideFX, they are a golden exception, and explicit

    For RHEL Server (MSRP) Self-Support: $350/yr Standard: $800/yr Premium: $1300/yr Those are all starting points without including potential addons.

    This is not even remotely what the announcement is implying. CentOS is the new upstream for RHEL minor releases . Fedora is and will continue to be the the RHEL upstream for major releases . Lifecycle of RHEL: Fedora | Enterprise

    RHOS is OpenStack. The only two ways two get RHEL 8 sources are from your account’s download page (very tedious) or to use the *-source-rpms repos (reposync/manually) that are available with your subscription.

    Is dev chat shifting to freenode? I saw talk about a Matrix server bridging to IRC/Slack/etc, though I haven’t gone back in a few hours.

    Charts and several other modules are released both under GPLv3 licensing and commercial licensing. For Qt6 some of these modules have not been released yet, but should be available by 6.2, the first LTS.

    by mroche 6y ago

    It's worth noting that there are specific add-on modules that are only available under the GPLv3 license. Qt6 doesn't have all of them yet, and they (supposedly) will be coming in the 6.1-6.2 releases. Qt5: https://doc.

    If the project is accepting third-party code contributions, the dual-licensing steps into CLA territory which not everyone is comfortable with. So depending on the project that may cost the development some contributors.

    I go through the same process, for me the worst offender is names. Faces I’ve got down, but the connection to a name will always be fuzzy. I can’t recall names for the life of me on the spot, but two days later out of nowhere it’ll come to

    Of course there’s an XKCD for this! Ah, the wonders of the internet. The article in question was written in 2008: I was 11 years old. I guess I now fall in to the category of “heard of it by the age of 30”.
