It has become river-classic: https://codeberg.org/river/river-classic

That's kind of the way Tangled works, right? Although it's Yet Another Platform so it's still a little bit locked in...

There are realtime systems for traffic analysis. I know of Addinsight, e.g. https://news.addinsight.com/bluetooths-leap-forward-the-evol...

I assume a cycle of write bug -> fix bug -> get paid until they can afford a new car!

How does Gerrit manage this? Are the comments associated with the source content, instead of commits?

Here's a guy playing with a supercritical CO2 pressure vessel on a table (seems a little brave to be shaking something at such high pressures!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d7R…

> Would not recommend working in aviation Why not?

There is a Help->Rules link on all of the puzzles linked here. It can be a little tricky to decipher them if you're coming to them completely brand new, however. I mostly use them …

Maybe a PS/2 touchpad that is triggering (a bunch of) interrupts? Not sure how hardware interrupts work with RT!

I actually had a concurrency bug that I was able to capture with rr: an MPI job where I only ran rr on rank 0 and managed to figure out where a different send/recv ordering was cau…

I thought it might work a little like the NYT sudoku app: placed numbers delete candidate notes automatically, but you can also manually toggle candidates on/off. I guess a once-of…

Sounds like a refactor error, from the linked Issue: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/issues/16572#issuecomme...

What is the backend for the storage buckets we see in cloud (and increasingly, HPC) computing? Seems like a database filesystem would be a good fit there.

Even if they don't have the claimed sleep-related benefits, surely they can't cause any harm (except for slightly orange screenshots!)

I have seen a few roundabouts with metering traffic lights that are only enabled during peak traffic times to occasionally allow the “blocked” directions in. It seems to be a reaso…

> that lines the pockets of university staff This is of course only the administrative/management levels. The staff doing the actual teaching and grading are lumped with all the wo…

I've been using Firefly III ( https://www.firefly-iii.org/ ) since it came up on HN a little while ago. It's aimed more at the budgeting/personal finance side of things rather than…

What about if somebody clones a repo, then adds a .mailmap pointing all the addresses in the history to their own?

This sounds fascinating! In HPC environments how do the images communicate -- I'm just assuming there's some form of distributed computing going on there?

I think it might only be around for another couple of years -- Telstra is switching theirs off in 2024, and Optus is pretty soon too.

> with 10s or 100s of cores You could probably even add another zero (almost two) to this

Multidimensional arrays are first-class in Fortran, so there's no need to use pointers there. There are some rules around pointers and subarrays that I expect make any possible ali…

Is there any further reading on this in the scientific programming space?

> I'm on my third panel and they all develop white spots from the cover not being protective enough. Is that what it's from!? My T450s screen is full of those spots...

FastMail gives me 10GB of storage that's accessible via WebDAV. It works perfectly to back my collection of papers and textbooks in Zotero. That way I only sync the metadata to my …
