Do you actually though? Or is the replacement just badly engineered? Lacking context, but that sounds unlikely to me, unless you were doing something that was extremely highly suited to itanium.

I use lineageos (pure foss fork of android, with the exception of firmware) without installing google play services. It works pretty well!

Maybe I'm being dense here, but what possible profane meaning is there in MP5?

This makes me want to do ours (Ireland). We had a big referendum on an amendment a while ago, and I actually read it at last. There's some pretty dated stuff in there (the special place of the woman in the home stands out in my memory)

Uhh, it's not perfect, but you can definitely judge a lot about a person by looking at them, from their body language. Video would be better, and of course in person would be better again, but it's not like there's no informa

A note on cat: on older Unixes (I remember it specifically in some old version of solaris), you can actually cat folders, and it will show a directory listing. Iirc in the orogonal unix, read() on a directory fd would just dump out some fil

This looks really awesome. It's been a longstanding desire of mine to build a custom laptop with one of these powerful small SOCs (originally thought of something like the lattepanda, which is similar to an Intel macbook air, but as a

Unix cp, but with a proper progress bar, and much faster: https://github.com/wheybags/wcp Getting close now but not ready for real use. io_uring is awesome.

And IMO, that python version is one million % more readable. In particular, because you defined more and less before using them, vs after in the Haskell example. I don't know if there's a way that could be achieved in Haskell to

That's definitely not me. The point is that an effort should be made to make available the data to the fullest extent possible. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect anonymised data to be made available. If the data conno

I have a tendency to believe that any research, in any field, veing used for any purpose, should be discounted if it doesn't present its source data. And in computer science, the source code. The fact that this doesn't happen 100%

A solution like rtx voice seems a better way to go tbh. For those who don't know, it's an nvidia thing that uses a GPU accelerated (ofc, it's nvidia) neural network to denoise voice calls, from all kinds of noise, not just ty

Transferwise is great, I do have one of their multi currency debit cards. It doesn't fully solve the problem though, it's more useful for visits and online purchases. You couldn't get paid straight into it, so you need to get

Ah, maybe it's using readlink on /proc/self/exe to get the actual path to the binary, which would obviously fail if it's not a real file. If it's something along those lines then I guess it's probably not

I suspect the clang issue is because it expects argv[0] to be a path to a real binary, and internally reruns itself as a subprocess. It might start working if instead of using /proc/self, you fetched your pid and used it explicitl

No, because discrimination in hiring on the basis of race is illegal. It does mean the org should probably not focus its efforts on running a big public pr campaign about hiring ethnic minorities though. That's all in the general case

I am also extremenly frustrated by this. Even on my linux-only librem 13, it still occasionaly fails to start after a sleep. Suspend to disk is even worse. If there was a kernel dev out there accepting donations / patreon to fix this,
