Gitlab is very complex and a heavy resource hog. You probably don’t need it. Most small to medium enterprises can comfortably host their projects on lightweight forgejo or gitea (speaking from experience). They even have functionality similar to github actions. If you need anything more complex, you are better off integrating another self hosted external service to the mix.
Oh man! I hate CF! The scummy gatekeepers.
He didn’t just wash off his hands. When asked in an interview about a moderator who edited a trans user’s profile to intentionally misgendering them (yup, even that’s not off limits for their mods), he justified it saying that ‘It’s not like using the N-word or something’. (For context, the n-word itself was innocuous. It gained notoriety due to its misuse by bigots like this).
There are several such examples - repeatedly even after being called out. I don’t belong to any diversity groups. But I don’t care if they make the world’s best operating system. I will stay well away from it if only to avoid any interaction with such a group. They’re a bit too happy about harassing people (not just transgenders either).
That makes me wonder! All these new GPU uses are enormous energy hogs. Is gaming like that too?
Arch guide expanded in scope IMO. The choices are way more than in the past. However, it’s good quality and easy to read. I implore you to skim it, even if you don’t try it out.
While I understand your point, there’s a mistake that I see far too often in the industry. Using Relational DBs where the data model is better suited to other sorts of DBs. For example, JSON documents are better stored in document DBs like mongo. I realize that your use case doesn’t involve querying json - in which it can be simply stored as text. Similar mistakes are made for time series data, key-value data and directory type data.
I’m not particularly angry at such (ab)uses of RDB. But you’ll probably get better results with NoSQL DBs. Even in cases that involve multiple data models, you could combine multiple DB software to achieve the best results. Or even better, there are adaptors for RDBMS that make it behave like different types at the same time. For example, ferretdb makes it behave like mongodb, postgis for geographic db, etc.
Nvidia is a mess on Linux in general, though it’s gradually improving. They decided to neglect everything that the other GPU manufacturers and the community were doing and roll out their own buggy concepts.
This really isn’t the fault of Mint. PopOS works with it just because its developers System76 also has a line of nvidia based hardware. However, as I said before, nvidia is slowly starting to implement the standards and situation on other distros like Mint will gradually improve.
Meanwhile, I’m curious. What hardware did you try Mint on?
I wonder what happened to Tails - the one that started it all.
I do recommend Gentoo (haven’t tried Funtoo) for the academically inclined. It’s a beast to maintain, but you’ll soon find yourself at ease with configuring and compiling your own kernel, configuring your packages and even making some yourself.
It isn’t as hard as people make it out to be - if you gradually push your boundaries. In particular, it’s good if you already use Arch.
Nobody ever learned from the solarwinds attack. If a massive amount of your infrastructure is backed by some obscure software, bad actors will either try to insert a backdoor or find a zero-day exploit. If people are going to neglect what just happened, crowdstrike will fall heals up, faster than solarwinds did.
I don’t think that rust would have prevented this one, since this isn’t a compile time error (for the code loader).The address dereferencing would have been inside an unsafe block. What was missing was a validity check of the CI build artifacts and payload check on the client side.
I do however, think that the ‘fingers-crossed’ approach to memory safety in C and C++ must stop. Rust is a great fit for this use case.
Why are sensitive or critical hospital systems loaded with bossware? That itself is a breach of medical safety regulations and medical privacy. If such bossware fails for whatever reason - even sabotage, it’s on the leach class. Prosecute them for murder.
In that case, it’s time for the average workers to sabotage the bossware. Let the leech class solve the problem they create.
I wish there was something more interesting to do there.
You are not expected to remember a v6 address - or even v4 for that matter. They are designed for machines. DNS is designed for humans.
What do you do on the yggdrasil network?
Python decided to use a single convention (semantic whitespace) instead of two separate ones for machine decodeable scoping and manual/visual scoping. That’s part of Python’s design principle. The program should behave exactly like what people expect it to (without strenuous reasoning exercises).
But some people treat it as the original sin. Not surprised though. I’ve seen developers and engineers nurture weird irrational hatred towards all sorts of conventions. It’s like a phobia.
Similar views about yaml. It may not be the most elegant - it had to be the superset of JSON, after all. But Yaml is a semi-configuration language while JSON is a pure serialization language. Try writing a kubernetes manifest or a compose file in pure JSON without whitespace alignment or comments (which pure JSON doesn’t support anyway). Let’s see how pleasant you find it.
They aren’t talking about using recursion instead of loops. They are talking about the map method for iterators. For each element yielded by the iterator, map applies a specified function/closure and collects the results in a new iterator (usually a list). This is a functional programming pattern that’s common in many languages including Python and Rust.
This pattern has no risk of stack overflow since each invocation of the function is completed before the next invocation. The construct does expand to some sort of loop during execution. The only possible overhead is a single function call within the loop (whereas you could have written it as the loop body). However, that won’t be a problem if the compiler can inline the function.
The fact that this is functional programming creates additional avenues to optimize the program. For example, a chain of maps (or other iterator adaptors) can be intelligently combined into a single loop. In practice, this pattern is as fast as hand written loops.
For anyone looking to learn git, the official book and site are thorough and exceptional. You can even download the eBook for free. While there’s no harm in using other sources to learn git, don’t use them as an alternative to the canonical source.
