Re:No-GIL mode coming for Python on Saturday July 29, 2023 @02:54AM (#36917618)
We are working with a huge Go and Python codebase and Python is just a pain in terms of using all system resources. We moved many parts to C++ which are called and handled by goroutines. The outcome was a big success. This proposal/change is a big step forward, especially for the deep learning community.
Re:Metformin shown to prevent long Covid on Friday June 16, 2023 @11:51AM (#36358693)
Sorry, but I have a complete different position on this topic. However I respect your opinion.
Re:Metformin shown to prevent long Covid on Friday June 16, 2023 @08:42AM (#36355635)
Yeah, that's true.
Re:Metformin shown to prevent long Covid on Friday June 16, 2023 @08:42AM (#36355619)
See my other comment. My circle consists of people up to 89 years. Thanks for the hint, but I am not convinced of the vaccine. I'll continue doing my stuff and it's my own responsibility.
Re:Metformin shown to prevent long Covid on Friday June 16, 2023 @08:04AM (#36355143)
We did normal Covid tests for work. Maybe I should do an antibody test. Would be interesting...
Re:Metformin shown to prevent long Covid on Friday June 16, 2023 @07:51AM (#36354983)
Can't say too much about it. Didn't really follow the whole Covid discussion and just continued my lifestyle. Eating healthy (fresh self-made food), doing sports and looking after a good mental state. Family and my circle did the same. Friends who have been vaccinated got Covid several times. But are also good now... My grandmom (89 years), also unvaccinated, didn't get Covid. Her sister got it (vaccinated). Both healthy now... Just let everybody do their own thing... The whole hate in the communities was unnecessary.
Re:Metformin shown to prevent long Covid on Friday June 16, 2023 @07:15AM (#36354672)
Multiple-vaccinated or has had Covid? Why only those two options? I and a big portion of my circle is unvaccinated, healthy and didn't have Covid.
That's the model I use: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07NCMHG5H Hope that helps!
Use a Portal case with heatsink. You'll find some cases on amazon.

I agree. That's why we use the small grml tool as task/command runner in all our projects.

Personally I wouldn't survive in a suburban environment without nature being near by.

Going to restaurants, bars or meeting strangers isn't what I meant. It's still the artificial human made world. Spend time outside the city, hiking, boarding, climbing, running or just enjoying nature... That's it. Finding like-minded people will come by itself.

Oh, and beeing active is just awesome. Pushing the body to certain limits is just so important for my mental health. I am a complete different person, if I don't do sports for a certain time.

Re:Life After Language on Saturday May 06, 2023 @01:59AM (#35838508)
Just go out, do some sports and enjoy life :) I stopped spending too much time in front of the computer and started doing more outdoor activities. Best decision ever.
Re:The Cairo Programming Language on Wednesday May 03, 2023 @04:38PM (#35807450)
Thanks for the explanation. That sounds like a really smart idea. I first thought, that this is based on Intel SGX, which seams to have some security problems (words of a friend working with that technology). I'll have to dig deeper into this topic. Are there any limitations?
Re:The Cairo Programming Language on Wednesday May 03, 2023 @06:58AM (#35800754)
I do think, that trusting thrid-party hardware is always a bad idea. There will never be a safe execution model where you don't own the hardware. Just my opinion...

I don't use these tools, due to privacy concerns. Once there is a capable offline model, I will be open to give it a try.

Sandboxing still makes sense and is the right direction into a better Linux ecosystem. However the Ubuntu approach is flawed.
That looks really great! Thanks for sharing. Ever thought of adding go support?
Seams so ^^ Too bad, that the open source model has this problem. Hope they will survive and find a fitting business model.
How will they generate revenue?
My words! I made the switch to Copperhead / now GrapheneOS 7 years ago and never looked back. Can only recommend this OS and the lead dev is a legend.
Re:Original Prusa MK4 on Thursday March 30, 2023 @06:01PM (#35379378)
Never really read anything about it online. However we are using it at our company and are quite happy with it. The thing is running 24/7 and the printing results are really good after a first calibration. Just sharing my experience...
Re:Original Prusa MK4 on Thursday March 30, 2023 @03:29AM (#35369300)
For that price tag I would add a couple of hundred dollars and go with the SnapMaker 2. The nice thing is, that it is capable to do also laser engravings and simple CNC milling. Only made good experience so far.

I can only suggest to go with the Snapmaker. Only made good experience with it and it can also do laser engravings and CNC milling (simple stuff).
The German media made a documentary about this (~2013) and I started to fly with a special mask capable of filtering the toxic fumes. People kind of stared at me, when it was not normal to fly with a mask.. Crazy, that it took more than 10 years before things are finally starting to change.

Flatpak vs. Firejail vs. VM

Hi all, I am a long follower of Hacker News and finally this is my first question. Just setting up a new laptop and I do want to isolate my webbrowser from the rest of the system. I used firejail for this task, but have read some points against it (Executed as root?). Flatpak has its own sandbox and might be better isolated. However I must trust different packagers and flatkill looks scary. The...

I used poste.io for one year and switched to mailcow. Poste.io does not frequently update their containers and I had to wait a long time for crucial security fixes. Looking at the docker container tag history verifies this: https://hub.docker.com/r/analogic/poste.io/tags
