Dist upgrade is only dangerous for the people who do it. Wait a few weeks before upgrading to the new release and most broken things will be fixed already. I used arch a lot, and I do like the idea of rolling releases, but at this point for the couple programs I need new features in, I just build them from source.

I’m sure there was a good reason to make this. I just can not imagine what that reason would be.

Don’t know about the small window thing. We had turkeys for a while, but to be fair it was more about domestic animals than food source. Those things would get huge. I remember once some friends were coming to visit at night and seeing them on the roof got scared and ran off.

TIL animals may be allowed in chemistry labs. But then again, still remember my professor’s being very clear that mouth pipetting is bad idea, to then show us how to do it just in case.

It’s clearly a move to make torrent for movies unviable and get funding from Netflix.

Do you have a cluster with 10 A100 lying around? Because that’s what it gets to run deepseek. It is open source, but it is far from accessible to run on your own hardware.

Is that a tiling wall?

Recognizing our knowledge is limited does not mean we believe the earth is flat or that we have no reason not to believe it is not. Attempting to say that everything is pretty much explained just increases the confidence of someone believing in the flat earth, as that is very clearly false. There’s a bunch of things we can not explain and there’s a bunch of things that in theory we can explain and forecast, but in practice we can not. Go ahead and do some quantum mechanical calculations to describe a system with more than 3 electrons with the nuclei of the atoms moving…

I am a chemist specialized in drug design. This article opened my eyes. I’m up to a great scientific discovery. Way too many people have been avoiding amanitas due to disillusions and ingesting large quantities of organic chemicals. Tomorrow I’ll start my new sampling of mushroom properties using myself as evaluator, see you all at the Nobel candidature.

I remember going to Murska Sobota to see the romani population there. It was quite surprising as the integration was absolute. Romani people would live all together but go to town and to the bars with all other people. Most of them worked in Austria with contracts and all. But still, throughout the country there was much hate towards Romani and Croatians, as well as Italians among the older people.

Here, I got your bugs in the correct order.

Before today, ClickHouse users would only see the tables in the default database when querying table metadata from ClickHouse system tables such as system.tables or system.columns.

Since users already have implicit access to underlying tables in r0, we made a change at 11:05 to make this access explicit, so that users can see the metadata of these tables as well.

I’m no expert, but this feels like something you’d need to ponder very carefully before deploying. You’re basically changing the result of all queries to your db. I’m not working in there, but I’m sure in plenty places if the codebase there’s a bunch of query this and pick column 5 from the result.

I used to have bunch of key maps, now it’s just: tap it to pull up the start menu and type software I want to open, and meta + space to change language input on my keyboard.

I guess pretty much it.

Changelog version 0.15.2

• Fixed typo
• Addressed excessive memory usage
• Introduced the ability to retrieve password from memory

Chiming in for something unrelated. Fortran is actually pretty cool and if you need to do a lot of number crunching for scientific calculations starting a project in Fortran is not that bad. I started working on Fortran04 and back then I really couldn’t see any advantage of c++ if we’re talking computations. Now with Fortran23 we’re talking about quite a modern language.

I mean, if you’re considering Fortran for a project your only other likely choice is c++, and I tell you Fortran feels much smoother and easy to work with if you have to do calculations. I guess if you don’t worry about it being new you could consider Julia, but for many applications Fortran still has its well deserved spot.

I have been using Debian a lot in the past and now I’m on fedora. Reason I’m on fedora: got a new laptop and figured I could go Debian or try out another distribution. I installed it and didn’t have any problems, a couple times I had to submit bug reports to the packaging team but not much else. It works and I never felt like I need some other system. All feels pretty similar to Debian after all, not much difference. One thing I favor over Debian is that packages are a bit more up to date: in Debian I’d often find myself backporting stuff from Sid. In fedora I don’t really need workarounds to get new features in stable software. But still, that’s just a minor annoyance. But still, I use a lot of very specific software in development; for normal use I really don’t see much difference between the two.

PIs often have no idea what people in their group are actually working on. They may at times just give a general direction of what research should be about. It is common for people doing research for a company to list the CTO or whatever relevant figure as author. The fact that you do not do it reveals nothing regarding the fact that this is quite common practice.
