So... the idea is (potentially) for a provider's mail filters to extract links from emails and submit them to your API, raising an alert if it's a close match for a known site but not on a whitelisted domain?

Marvell are an awful awful company to do anything with if you have any expectation of driver source, kernel upstreaming or them even reading your emails unless your company has an n-million contract with them.

No. I'm sure that you could argue that technically , if you go by the literal acronym, it is "LIDAR", I really don't think that flies. When you use the term LIDAR, you imply a certain amount of robustness and error r

I'm still a bit sad they decided to de-emphasize the photo-editing-targeted features - it was (and still is) miles ahead of GIMP in terms of deep color support.

I agree this is something which should be prioritized, but I don't necessarily think the answer should be to just provide pre-built binaries. I feel really uneasy about open source projects that are almost impossible to build by anyone

Not really I'm afraid - can't remember what interview I read it in, but you can probably find something with a bit of creative googling.

Interesting that Thom is supposed to be quite embarrassed by Fitter Happier these days and reportedly it's one of the only statements he wishes he could take back.

Yes it's all interesting stuff. But, one way of looking at it, that's just ("just") an implementation issue. No ideas fundamental to Nix would have to be changed to find a faster way of implementing derivation isolation,
