From their FAQ:

We build our modules using the components manufactured by the world biggest chip companies like Micron, Hynix, Nanya and Samsung.

As expected, but the final assembly being done in the EU is still a big advantage.

But you can just as well make an exception to allow errors when -e is enabled with something like command || true, or even some warning message.

I feel like, while it does occur, allowing errors like this is more unusual than stopping the script in an error, so it's good to explicitly mark this case, therefore -e is still a reasonable default in most cases.

In glad that you acknowledge the problem, because it really is dangerous. Memes are often totally detached from reality, misleading sometimes by intention or at least through hyperbole. As a format they leave no room for nuanced or fully rounded thoughts.

That said, memes can be fun if you are aware of the context and understand what is true and what is not. At least, before taking away relevant information from a meme, check the story from a proper news site, for example Reuters.

That's just a different proprietary app though.

The restrictions don't seem very limiting. Why would I ever do this?

That's a very good background and should be more than enough to understand the rust book. But if you do eventually want to go more into the theoretical background, I recommend looking towards type theory, specifically Algebraic Data Types (ADT) which Rust uses a lot, and Polymorphism (Generics). But it's certainly not required to write good Rust code.

It's wild that one of the problems is that the kernel doesn't use floating point numbers.

 

I saw this article by Nathan J. Robinson on Current Affairs and wanted to share. I do agree with the idea that the twitter format discourages deep conversation and debate. Lemmy is in general much better in this regard, but even still it is affected by the wider internet culture of our time, and a proper debate culture takes effort.

Even on Lemmy I frequently see more nuanced takes being shut down by quick, snarky comments pushing the conversation into absolutes. And yes, a democratic society absolutely requires healthy discussion of difficult issues, not just outrage.

Unfortunately not real, I would have loved to read into some of them.

There are much longer versions on the YT channel of Ivan Miranda who built it: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF3cDM_hQMtIEJvEW1BZugg

It works by pushing out wrong marbles in the elevator so only correct ones for the current time make out to the queue.

We need to collectively realize that both Celsius and Fahrenheit are mostly arbitrary and not more than practical conventions to assign numbers to temperatures. Kelvin makes more sense but is impractical for daily use. It's just US-Americans distracting from the fact that most of their units are objectively bad compared to Metric by pointing out that Celsius is only marginally better.

 

I was thinking about how to improve my email situation, because at the moment I am using an address of a commercial mail provider, which obviously brings some concerns of lock-in.

While fully self-hosting the email is an option, I am a bit wary of this, because having a working email is very critical and I do trust the commercial providers to give better uptime and reliability than my old server in the closet. Does anyone have experience hosting an email service and what is it like/could you recommend it?

The other option that I am more inclined to is having the email hosted by some cloud provider, but using an address under my personal domain name. The point would be of course that I could change the email provider while keeping the address. Which providers supporting this could you recommend? What is the process like linking a domain to an email host?

I just think it's pretty cool that Felix, who has never really mentioned anything Linux before, chose to go with a Linux distro for the PC he put together.

Now that Advent of Code 2024 has concluded, I wanted to get people's opinion on what puzzles they especially liked looking back. This could be because of the puzzle mechanics, the description, because you are especially proud of your solution that day, or for any other reason.

Feel free to answer even if you only saw part of the puzzles.

My picks would be:

  • 14 (Restroom Redoubt, robots moving into christmas tree shape). Even though it caught me off-guard in the moment, I did like that part 2 had this very imprecise requirement for once. Definitely made for varied, creative solutions.
  • 15 (Warehouse Woes, robots pushing boxes) The second part was a fairly big complexity spike with just a minor change in the tasks. Basically a form of simulation where the hard part is finding a good data representation for the setup. I liked this one because debugging was such a visual process for me, by printing the grids.
  • 17 (Chronospatial Computer, running a machine code) For me the first really tricky one, but still doable. These assembly puzzles are just neat. A lot of computation is started with a pretty small input, and the task is basically to really understand how this "computer" works.

What have been your favorites?

In its current plan, the EU commission intends to cut €27 million in funding for Free Software. The article has a link to a questionnaire that you can fill out and express your opinion about the plan. I believe non-EU citizens can participate as well.
