    Funny, I'm working on a simple tool that pulls the atom feed of the latest patches from lore with Python, and I just slip a User-Agent header into the requests.get() and it works g…

    I recently started a blog documenting my kernel work, and thought that I should create a series that helps people make their first contribution. Please let me know whether you have…

    Not bad, I'd still use Claws-mail for reading and replying to kernel mailing lists, but good to know that people are developing tools with which you don't have to rely on an ancien…

    I would assume that it's not just the fuel, but also the construction materials etc. It's in the article that they had to grind down the surfaces of the spent fuel pool, the residu…

    >Huh... I thought Linux actually required MMUs. I was under the impression it'd never run on these old consoles because of that. Learned something new today. There have been varian…

    Ah, well in the Czech Republic universities get funding based on the number of currently enrolled students, not graduates. Some places will therefore accept 1000 into a CS program,…

    There is, however I didn't really have a valid reason for an appeal so I just went ahead with it and started applying for jobs.

    Essentially all Czech universities have a rule where you can only twice enroll in the same course - failing to do so will lead to termination. Nevertheless I still have my credits …

    Hard to say, different language - different problems. Nevertheless Sashiko gets the big picture and its main concerns are race conditions, bad register mapping etc., issues that co…

    Great job! A few months ago I was kicked out of university for failing my Real Analysis course a second time (4 years of CS suddenly gone, thesis was half done) and had to get a fu…

    Show HN: Fate – a joke horoscope generator utility for Linux pids
