I’m a robotics researcher. My interests include cybersecurity, repeatable & reproducible research, as well as open source robotics and rust programing.

1·9 months agoDoes the live iso created by this process include the dependencies or kernel modules upon live boot? E.g. could I use this to create an ISO image that includes, or pre bakes, any custom or necessary drivers for Nvidia GPUs or finicky Wi-Fi cards when used/booted as just a live USB? That could really help when you’d otherwise have a chicken and egg problem after a hard drive failure and no live USB to safe boot with working networking or display output.
I’m going to try and set one up for the rest of my project team. Looks like a neat way to simplify install setup.
4·10 months agoDidn’t know about this case history with Nintendo, nor the name for the common exploit used:
The only experience I have with working with Fortran would be setting up
gfortranwhen building SciPy from source, and perusing its codebase to see how it’s FFT functions were so optimized. Not enough to diligently mod I’m afraid.
I was thinking of cross posting this to a Fortran community, but it looks like we don’t yet have one.
I’m not sure why, but GitHub’s search engine, Blackbird, seems to be returning some erroneous results for this query:
/tnt_select\(.*2\^32/ language:C++ OR language:C
Any chance you could narrow down your search to a list of repose that use the library that pulls in
tnt_select()function, then clone and manually grep just those, or is it’s use too common to index by?Real funny that even narrowing down GitHub search to just the same repo doesn’t help the query results:
repo:ocelot-inc/ocelotgui ldbms_tnt_select
It looks like another project outlined in the Bevy blogs that is also listed in steam (planned for release 2024) is Tiny Glade:
Does anyone have a favorite commercial game know to be developed using Bevy? Available on steam, Google Play, etc.
I know Bevy has a web site of indexing games from hackathons and what not, but I was more interested in seeing any commercially published titles.
Do we have a community for computer architectures or computer science on this instance or anywhere else?
I don’t know of many recorded audio books, but you could also use a Text to Speech engine to listen to any technical blogs or articles. I use Android apps like Pocket or T2S to queue up a backlog of TODO read items, then when I’m out for a long walk, I can just press play and let the TTS do it’s thing. Of course, I curate this list for longer pure text reads, devoid of code snippets, equations, or visual graphics that TTS would have a tough time conveying over audio.
Looks like I may need to find a successor to pocket. They do a great job scraping connect via readable mode, but I’d like to find a shelf hosted or mobile+offline app equivalent for queuing up web articles, just in case pocket gets cut from further development by Mozilla management.
1·1 year agoGuess the author’s click bait’y title was too much. I’ll withdraw their video then.
I’m surprised there isn’t a community on this intense for this language already.
I’d suggest those who interested to make a post over on !community_request@programming.dev .
This was a funny talk wasn’t it! Any others of his you’d recommend?
Think I posted this with the short code, so Limmy didn’t match the cross post, but here are a couple more old comments here too:
I should open a ticket about fuzzy domain matching for cross posts on Lemmy. Should be useful for other things like stack overflow or other social media links.
Fair enough. I just wanted to point out why you may see others, or news outlets, refer to tech giants, such as Microsoft, as FANGs or FAANGs given the historical context, regardless of how one may prefer to grammatically re-phrase such nonsensical statements. E.g:
So, who are the FAANGs?
Language is inherently messy, localized, and ephemeral, so it could be unwise to expect that kind of conformity on the global internet. It can be jarring, for example tech folk here in the EU seem to use corporate slang a lot differently than when I was working near SFO or DFW, we’re I’d suspect the greater non-homogeneity of native speakers, as compared to the US, had a lot to do with it.
That aside, I think we merely disagree on the colloquial use of FAANG in 2023, as (from my anecdotal perspective) it seems to have semantically shifted into a categorical noun in common vernacular, rather than a once precise acronym from a decade ago, given most of the conglomerates behind the initial spelling have either re-branded, fallen in stock valuation, declined in labor desirability, or whatever else that had originally garnered acclaim and publicity. In that respect, pluralization of such a noun seems mundane, if not a little odd looking for typographical formatting.
Perhaps this could be coined as another stage of acronymization, or “acronym drift”; the process by which an acronym’s original expansion and meaning become less relevant or obscured over time, and the acronym itself is treated and used as a regular word, independent of its original expansion. This can happen when the original meaning of the acronym is no longer relevant, but the acronym continues to be used and recognized based on its familiarity. An example that comes to mind is Google’s original acronym for the QUIC protocol, which is no longer used to mean “Quick UDP Internet Connections”, as was initially proposed.
My phone keyboard spelling aside, when the acronym was first coined, correct, but it seems to have sence devolved into more of a colloquialism for large scale tech related corporations, outliving the precise corporate restructuring that once comprised the old acronym. At least that’s what I’ve experienced in my workplaces, as well as the comments here:
Was there a equivalent house hold colloquialism for IBM, HP, Xerox, Bell System, etc. back in the day?
I think if the local and remote instances are federated - for posts submitted to remote communities that have subscribers from the local instance - posts to the local instance can be annotated with
cross-posted to:links, whenever the local instance is aware of other federated posts that have a matching URL in other OP posts.A single OP can manually cross post to other communities using the
cross-postbutton next to the title of a post, although that will auto populate the body text of the new post with quoted text from the original, as well as an embedded hyperlink to the original.So coss-posts can be both auto detected by Lemmy, or manually created by OP(s).
Ah man, I’m with a project that already uses a poly repo setup and am starting an integration repo using submodules to coordinate the Dev environment and unify with CI/CD. Sub modules have been great for introspection and and versioning, rather than relying on some opaque configuration file to check out all the different poly repos at build time. I can click the the sub module links on GitHub and redirect right to the reference commit, while many IDEs can also already associate the respective git tag for each sub module when opening from the super project.
I was kind of bummed to hear that working trees didn’t have full support with some modules. I haven’t used working trees with this super project yet, but what did you find about its incompatibility with some modules? Are there certain porcelain commands just not supported, or certain behaviors don’t work as expected? Have you tried the global git config to enable recursive over sub modules by default?
