LFS is probably as close to DIY as possible, however it still requires you to compile everything. I suppose Arch is DIY while still providing binary packages (faster installation) and a more or less standard linux installation while still a

Name resolution libraries are loaded dynamically [1,2], so glibc can't be linked statically if you want NSS to work. I gather there might be a way to explicitly link to a specific resolution library but this is practically unsupported&

PlayOnLinux is just a (very useful) wrapper around wine. It uses stock wine and you can even use multiple versions of wine with it.

You are talking about immersion lithography. It replaces the air gap from the final lens of the lithography system with water which has greater IOR. AMD has been using it for a while, probably before the 45 nm node. Strangely enough Intel w

Systemd is a decent init system, fast (ssd+systemd=10 sec from button press), and dependency resolution is quite good. The units are configurable in the /etc/systemd directory and take precedence over the (/usr)/lib&#x2F

I have written a bunch of programs for interfacing with instruments and when I started doing that I was using labview but it was such a pain. It was liberating when I found that VISA has python bindings. I now do all the instrument-interfac

These tricks with CSS are all nice. Pardon my ignorance, though, if one needs a way to draw shapes wouldn't something like SVG be more suitable for these sort of tasks? I know it is probably not as easy as with CSS (support is more limited

I don't really mind TeX's age since the results of typesetting with it are very nice and there is practically no alternative at least in academia. I find it a bit hard to imagine that html can do the same job. The minor (or major) inconsist

AFAIK, The next version of pacman will support package signing. I suppose signed packages should begin to appear in the repositories as soon as pacman 4.0 is out.
