It is not on OpenBSD since OpenBSD 5.5 [1] (there is even a catchy release song about it [2]) which was released in March 2014. Hopefully the patches for the ports tree being upstreamed have started to nudge the general open source ecosyste

Michael is indeed a gem and I am happy to hear that his writing is equally strong on the FreeBSD side of things. Absolute OpenBSD was my introduction to OpenBSD in the mid-00s and I just recently re-read the latest edition (a new one is rum

Thank you for saying that, pdftk has been a wonderful tool for me over the years, but if pdfcpu can replace it and thus rid me of my final Java dependency it would be wonderful.

I do not have any facts to refute what you say about Oppenheimer, but from what little I have read and Wikipedia it seems that Oppenheimer (Bohm’s PhD supervisor at that) helped him on numerous occasions [1]. Even by recommending him for po

Indeed, what blows my mind is not just an excellent open-source re-implementation, it also is (or aims to be?) bug-for-bug accurate [1,2]. [1]: https://github.com/bvschaik/julius/wiki/Caesar-3-bugs [2]: http

After having used Solarized Light for about a decade, I have now tried out Selenized Light for nearly two weeks and I am liking it a lot. It is a gradual improvement, but very much an improvement nonetheless. In particular, respecting the A

Yes, kind of, but it depends on NumPy which is fairly big if your goal is for students to grasp and demystify the whole way down to the hardware. Other candidates would be torch7 [1], but it is somewhat married to the Lua API which drives i

Since I teach a fair amount of machine learning, I have been pondering on what a “minimal”, low-level implementation of a library would look like and got very excited hearing about LibNC. Sadly it seems like Bellard is keeping the source fo

Not only is it heavy, it is very complex. If I were to make a Matrix client I would for better or worse be forced to rely on someone else having implemented a library for the protocol or most likely spend months on building one myself. IR

During their closed alpha (or was it beta?), Spotify’s library consisted of some sort of superset of the (illegal) music collections of their staff. If I recall correctly, you would even get hits by searching for scene release groups in the

Hogwash! It depends on far more than the field. In Computer Science, factors such as the current “heat” of the market, saturation in terms of hires at institutions in your field, procedures in a given country, “production rate” of PhD stude
