As far as I understand it the funds were previously part of the so-called Digital Europe programme which includes funding for a wide range of sectors in the tech industry. The €27 million for free software projects are not included in the latest proposal for renewal. I don't know why that decision was made. If the money was diverted, then probably towards investments into semiconductor fabs or some AI stuff.

That might have been the case at some point, but I have definitely been on a doubledecker bus that's crossing Tram lines in east Berlin.

No, you absolutely don't need to care at all about the memory management when using Linux. This rabbit hole is really only relevant when you want to work on the Linux kernel or do some really low-level programming.

I would say the most obscure thing that is useful to know for running Linux is drive partitioning, but modern installers give you a lot of handrails in this process.

The really crazy thing about the graph is that there are 433 fucking datapoints!

Alright, but seriously: IPv6.

Why not go with the base version then?

Monaco got stung by a wasp.

Snake case and kebab case mixed arbitrarily.

man -k to the rescue: mbsrtowcs, strxfrm and wcstold are C functions.

No, I wod say scaling is any diagonal matrix and thus even includes mirroring.

Very good to see. GPL fits this project much better.

/boot/vmlinuz-linux

Maybe try k3b, a CD burning program by the KDE project instead. It always worked well for me.

Oh goodie, AMD SDCIAE PQE with PCIe TPH.

Can we just take a step back and admire how completely bizarre this title sounds out of context?

Wow, Lemmy is feeling quite gullible today.

Now that's the kind of industry secrets I opened this thread for.

I would love for the UK to rejoin the EU, but the survey results mentioned in the article don't really support the claim that there is a general desire to do so. A shift from 52% against to 52% in favor of EU membership is really not that significant.

A major political agenda of Vim is to support children in Uganda. A message about that is displayed whenever you open Vim's start page. Bram Moolenaar insisted on users donating to the ICCF charity instead of to him, making Vim a very political editor in my view.

Bookmarked. When the question comes up again, this article will be a good reply because it really brings many of my own thoughts to the point.

Best Knäckebröd.

This statement is wrong.

The premise is already wrong. No orchestra can play Beethoven's 9th symphony in 40 minutes, this piece is longer than an hour.

THE MORE YOU SAVE

I would say for whether or not your vote really counts it doesn't matter if the party has 20.5% or 0.5%. Each vote counts the same towards the next seat, which may be the first or the twentieth. So I would encourage everyone to vote small parties (except for the crazy ones).

Yup, we are experiencing more extreme weather situations. Until 2022 it was unusually dry, now 2023 and 2024 had relatively more rain, sometimes in a very short timespan causing flooding.

What does Temu have to do with YouTube now?

I did not expect BSW to be as far detached from Die Linke.

IEEE 754 is the standard to which basically all computer systems implement floating point numbers. It specifically distinguishes between +0 and -0 among other weird quirks.

Okay, who will go to court for the cereal soup question next?

The fact that every 4-digit pin is in this picture shows quite well how these are pretty easy to crack.

I don't think I've ever seen a game on Steam with "Overwhelmingly Negative" reviews before. Usually "Mixed" is already a good indicator to leave your hands off a game.

That's wrong, it calculates the surface distance not the distance through the earth, while claiming otherwise. From the geopy.distance.great_circle documentation:

Use spherical geometry to calculate the surface distance between points.

This would be a correct calculation, using the formula for the chord length from here:

from math import *

# Coordinates for Atlanta, West Georgia
atlanta_coords = (33.7490, -84.3880)
# Coordinates for Tbilisi, Georgia
tbilisi_coords = (41.7151, 44.8271)

# Convert from degrees to radians
phi = (radians(atlanta_coords[0]), radians(tbilisi_coords[0]))
lambd = (radians(atlanta_coords[1]), radians(tbilisi_coords[1]))

# Spherical law of cosines
central_angle = acos(sin(phi[0]) * sin(phi[1]) + cos(phi[0]) * cos(phi[1]) * cos(lambd[1] - lambd[0]))
chord_length = 2 * sin(central_angle/2)

earth_radius = 6335.439 #km
print(f"Tunnel length: {chord_length * earth_radius:.3f}km")

A straight tunnel from Atlanta to Tbilisi would be 9060.898km long.

Ever since I've understood that it accepts objectively wrong answers as long as it somehow seems as if you gave it some thought, I've made sure to hinder the accuracy of models that try to use my data.

György Ligeti: Aventures

Very experimental, not just with microtonality but making the singers do noises that few composers dared to put into their music.

I enjoy this meme. Truly a Lemmy original.

When you import circles in the test file (even if you only select circles_area) the circles file basically gets executed from top to bottom to run all definitions at the point of the import statement. This executes your for loop which fails, and the actual tests are never run. Just remove that loop in the circles module, and it should work.

I must say I like the idea of having changes to files be bound to just the current branch, not the entire worktree (section 6.4.2), but other than that the points that are brought up don't really seem too compelling. It certainly didn't convince me that git has an inherently flawed design. For example, eliminating the staging area is a tempting point for simplifying git, but the authors already admit that it has some legitimate use cases.

But of course it is always nice to see some experimentation done in this space. I think the main reason why git sometimes is confusing, is because distributed version control really is a complex task, and git already does a very good job at making it tractable.

Huh? Hexagonal Architecture?
