The comments on Phoronix definitely took a racist turn…

I wonder what the apologists from .ml have to say…

My understanding is that it boots faster. That’s a nice thing to have on a container that spins up on demand.

OK, it was a basic pattern recognition model, nothing nearly as sophisticated as we have now, but I think it would have performed significantly faster.

I had the idea to offload machine learning to GPUs back in the early 00’s. I was working for a company doing number plate recognition back then, so I was even in a position to act on my idea… but my boss thought I was nuts.

I’m not sure how much money I would have made, but it’s got to be better than this!

That’s news to me - and a bit of a dick move.

New Thinkpads are still great Linux laptops, so there’s a steady stream of newer 2nd hand models coming on the market.

C# is much more recent than C/BCPL etc. What’s interesting, though, is how many of C these more modern languages are inspired by C. C is also very much still in use!

That’s all well and good, but many of these Windows machines were headless or used by extremely non-technical people - think tills at your supermarket or airport check-in desks. Worse, some of these installations were running in the cloud, so console access would have been tricky.

Snapshots are read only. Best plan is to rollback to a snapshot you think works, test it and if all is good use sudo snapper rollback to make the current snapshot the default. I usually reboot at that point too, not sure if it’s necessary though.

I use Tumbleweed btw.

• Maternal grandma died before I was born.
• Paternal grandma cooked a great roast beef and Yorkshire puddings. Incidentally, she would - and I’m sure this was deliberate - massacre Lancashire hot pot. The war of the roses raged on until the late 20th century, in her mind at least.
• Mum cooked a great schnitzel and cucumber salad with caraway seeds. The schnitzel was fried, I’ve never heard of a baked schnitzel before…
• Fiance cooks too many great things to choose just one

Or, less obvious… this one saw me through some dark times:

Fair point!

The best vegan recipes are indian. You can certainly eat well as a vegetarian in London, but most places will have an indian restaurant with a few veggie choices.

I dunno, having the same music taste seems like a good starting point at least.

Simple: I fucking hate driving. I hate the smell, I hate the noise, and I hate the stress. Thr environmental impact isnt exactly a plus point either. You could say that I’m lucky to live in a place with good public transport, but I actively sought out a place with public transport because I didn’t want to rely on a car.

Final nail on the coffin: I developed Menieres disease, so I am prone to intense vertigo attacks at short notice - I couldn’t get a license even if I wanted one.

So… let’s start uploading lots of gay/trans porn and swe how long it takes before the policy changes!

IIRC, Qt comes with its own declarative language. That might be why you can’t find any bespoke ones.

BTRFS for the OS partitions, ext4 for /home, tmpfs for /tmp. I rarely need to use snapshots, but I do use a rolling release. It’s one of those things you don’t need until you really fucking NEED it. Tumbleweed support is great - I can roll back a bad update in about as long as it takes to reboot.
