It's essentially unusable at this time. I'm a paying customer but I will not be after this week for sure.

Whenever I read those reports I can't help but wonder who they are actually asking. I'm definitely in a bubble working in Munich and either for US subsidiaries or at least close to them (automotive, ai, robotics, aerospace and oth

Agreed, this is the underlying main issue. I've faced it before with generated C++ code too, and after long and painful refactorings what ultimately helped the most was to just split the generated code into multiple compilation units t

>On the other hand, we need a tiny build system that does all of the work locally and that can be used by the myriad of open-source projects that the industry relies on. This system has to be written in Rust (oops, I said it) with minima

The author clarifies that he wrote the section about Buck2 to demonstrate the need to be Bazel compatible (as opposed to Buck2), because the friction to try it out in a real code base is essentially insurmountable.

Markets are blocking nuclear, because they can still calculate costs. And costs is the reason not to go nuclear.

This is a lie that has been disproven repeatedly and is part of the disinformation that is spread all over the internet. What _is_ required is flexible power distribution and storage infrastructure

No wonder, seeing how conservative and right-leaning parties are doing everything in their power to delay renewables wherever they can. In Germany new power distribution infrastructure keeps being delayed despite desperate need (at times mo

WiFi Aware looks interesting but there seems to be very little information out there beyond Android related docs and associated links. It seems to be hidden away behind the doors of WiFi alliance. Can anyone familiar with the topic chime in

Nicely done! I just spent my last 16h of work time on implementing the reverse: parsing ethernet2 (with vlans!), ipv4+6 & UDP up to an automotive IP protocol. Use case is to understand a proprietary bus capturing stream that forwards et

Can't find any numbers in the linked thread with the patches. Surely some preliminary benchmarking must have been performed that could tell us something about the real world potential of the change?

Same here. Shared memory is one of those things where the kernel could really help some more with reliable cleanup (1). Until then you're mostly doomed to have a rock solid cleanup daemon or are limited to eventual cleanup by restartin

It still is in most parts of the country: the type of roof and even the type and color of the tiles are mandated in most areas (through the infamous Bebauungsplan)

I'm into watching construction videos on Youtube, and since most of the content originates from the US I see lots of people using spray foam insulation without any sort of air-tight & moisture regulating membrane on the inside (beh

Pretty awesome. I love Bazel and it seems you're making good use of it. It's such a difference seeing everything hermetically integrated with all workflows boiling down to a Bazel command.

Yeah that was also my understanding, and I can't imagine a av module able to intercept filesystem and syscalls to be only using non-core symbols. But of course you never know without decompiling the module

Yep. We can't migrate our workstations to Ubuntu 24.04 because Crowdstrikes falcon kernel modules don't support the kernel version yet. Presumably they wanted to move to EBPF but I'm guessing that hasn't happened yet. Al

Python is only used for build-time tooling (modeling, code generators) and developer tooling. All the on-target code is C and C++, and only that is cross compiled (Linux, QNX, various RTOS and x86+aarch64)

Same here, if your "compact" mode is way less compact than what you had before you're doing it wrong Jetbrains. Information density is key when developing

That magic moment in Karpathys first video when he gets to the loss function and calls backward for the first time - this is when it clicked for me. Highly recommended!

I haven't noticed any additional latency, but my workload isn't particularly latency critical (I do sometimes game in the 144hz display and it's as smooth as it was before I got the KVM). They don't have a 3-computer ver

Also got the Level1Tech one last year, very expensive but worth it imho. I use it to switch between my work and home PC many times a day, and it has worked flawlessly so far with two monitors (4k60hz+2k144hz) using Linux on both machines. U

>vmsplice is more of a mini shared memory mechanism between two processes Doesn't seem to be the case, as it only supports zero-copy from user-memory to the pipe. The other way around results in a copy - see https://mazzo
