What is the conflict between GPL3's anti-tivoisation clause and government regulations?

PBR algorithms tend to at least start from the rendering equation and simplify/approximate from that. They attempt to maintain some semblance of accuracy by eg. employing the conservation of energy of emitted vs. received light of ever

There’s some ‘got’ and ‘want’ pointers in https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/TestComments . But yeah, I didn’t even realize this was a very Google thing :).

It's not a great standard if every program/library using it must explicitly state its limits for such basic things as number values. It's very easy to do JSON wrong, to not even be aware of doing it wrong, and do it wrong in

> Pretty much every language on the planet has JSON parser libraries. Yes, but they all implement the JSON RFC slightly differently, or implement it in a totally non-compliant way.

The JSON schema ecosystem is a mess. json-schema.org is one thing, openapi is another (it uses an 'extended subset' of json-schema.org, which is another way of saying 'incompatible'), there’s also typeschema, and a bunch

It's not even good for machines to communicate with, considering: - There is no minimum/maximum number/integer value (or sizes) defined in the RFC [1] - you have no guarantee that a number you emit will be readable by all RFC

Massively simplifies the build process, especially for cross-compilation. You can just build the binary, copy it over and run it, without having to ever touch containers, or having to worry about sysroots. You can go ahead and do the follow

But PCIe is full duplex! With PCIe 2.0 x4 there's 4 lanes in each direction [1], so when 'forwarding' over a single 10G link you can expect to send and receive simultaneously at the speed I mentioned earlier. [1] - https:&#x

If by 'generic PCIe slot' you mean an NVMe slot that I have to buy janky adapters for, and figure out mechanical mounting for, then yeah. But I'm not sure I'd like to depend on that. And then I might as well do that with

This is not an ARM board, though. I mean it's no powerhouse, but definitely good enough for cattle in production if you're budget constrained.

It would make for a good enough edge/home cluster node. Buy 5 of these, each with two SATA SSDs/HDDs, SFP+ uplink to cheap 10G switch [1], run k8s/k3s, might even be able to squeeze in Ceph. 2.5G switches are expensive and ra

Too bad it's not a single SFP+ 10G cage, that would be actually useful then. :/
