Well it depends on what "file" means. Linuxian interpretation would be that file is something you can get file descriptor for. And then the "everything is a file" mantra holds better again.

This is pretty much my experience too. Working with jenkins is always complete pain, but at the same time I can't identify any really solid alternatives either. So far sourcehut builds is looking the most promising, but I haven't

But debugging Jenkins jobs is absolute pain too, in varying ways depending on how the job was defined (clicking through the ui, henerated by something, groovy, pipelines, etc).

I agree on build systems and CI being closely related, and could (in an ideal world) benefit from far tighter integration. But.. > So here's a thought experiment: if I define a build system in Bazel and then define a server-side Git

Yeah, I know plate solving is a thing. People did it even manually back in the days when plates were just film photographs, you don't need fancy computers for that. Tbh this is the sort of thing why I would want to do this experiment,

Seems neat project, but it is missing the most characteristic feature of keybase, public identity verification? I.e. the ability to link key-pairs with social media accounts etc.

Brahe did have large quadrants (and armillarys) though, which in this context is not all that different especially when you factor in how much light pollution impacts observations. Not to take away from Brahes exceptional ability at naked e

Keybase had good concept originally and they even had some momentum for a sec, but then they took VC money and imploded. Considering how simple system it was, I feel it should be something we could implement again (without spof)

One thing that I'd be interested in is having telescope mount suitable for doing quantitative measurements, basically doing astrometry from first principles. To me solving the orbits of planets (etc) based solely on my own measurements

I'm very doubtful about the presented figures there. The author clearly has an agenda and does not present any sources. Additionally it is completely missing ReLEx/KLEx (SMILE etc) methods which afaik are pretty popular.

I've been thinking that FST could be well suited for building routers for web frameworks. I.e. matching request path `/foo/42` to a set of route patterns like `/foo/{id}` etc. As I understand FST should be near perf

Interesting that they are apparently selling physical collection sets of elements in a box that shows all 118 elements. Somehow I suspect they possibly can not contain all the elements, due to scarcity/half-life/regulations? http

Rust/C++ lambda cold starts are in the 15ms ballpark, it is very unlikely that you are going to get anything much faster than that. Spinning up firecracker vm just inherently takes some time no matter what you run inside it. https:&#x

Problem with rounding modes and other fpenv flags is that any library anywhere might flip some flag and suddenly the whole program changes behavior.

> Also compiler optimizations should not affect the result. Specially without "fast-math/O3" (which arguably many people stupidly use nowadays, then complain). -ffp-contract is annoying exception to that principle.

That sort of argument can be problematic though, because the code can become misleading. If I see a fuzzy comparison then I'd assume it is there because it is needed, which might make the rest of the code more difficult to understand&#

That is the canonical schoolbook explanation of ww1, but I don't like how it frames the war as almost inevitable. Notably the Austro-German alliance was only fully formalized during the July Crisis when Germany offered unconditional su

Another interesting thought experiment would what if we went down to 6 bit bytes instead? Then the common values probably would be 24 and especially 48 bits (4 and 8 bytes), but 36 bit values might have appeared also in some places. In many

nitpick but ascii would be base128, largest ascii value is 0x7f which in itself is a telltale if you are looking at hex dumps.
