Can you get apocalypse insurance? I think I’m in the market for it.

No, no, no. It’s the end of times. I can hear the trumpets of the apocalypse.

Now Valve needs to release half life 3 and the world as we know it will truly perish.

Jokes aside. I hope this means work on a UI overhaul can seriously begin.

The only way to make Rust segfault is by performing unsafe operations.

Challange accepted. The following Rust code technically segfaults:

fn stackover(a : i64) -> i64 {
    return stackover(a);
}


fn main() {
    println!("{}", stackover(100));
}

A stack overflow is technically a segmentation violation. At least on linux the program recives the SIGSEGV signal. This compiles and I am no rust dev but this does not use unsafe code, right?

While the compiler shows a warning, the error message the program prints when run is not very helpfull IMHO:

thread 'main' has overflowed its stack
fatal runtime error: stack overflow
[1]    45211 IOT instruction (core dumped)  ../target/debug/rust

Edit: Even the compiler warning can be tricked by making it do recusion in pairs:

fn stackover_a(a : i64) -> i64 {
    return stackover_b(a);
}

fn stackover_b(a : i64) -> i64 {
    return stackover_a(a);
}

fn main() {
    println!("{}", stackover_a(100));
}

Numpy can use BLAS packages that are partly written in Fortran

In assessing risk assume everyone is a bumbling idiot. For we all have moments of great stupidity.

There is definitely a risk in changing it. Many automation systems that assume there is a master branch needed to be changed. Something that’s trivial yes but changing a perfectly running system is always a potential risk.

Also stuff like tutorials and documentation become outdated.

Why do you say it’s obvious that the English wiki “has nothing”?

How do you cleanly base your local changes against a new upstream version? Merges?

Which is not really open now is it.

Do you live in a world where storage is expensive or rare? Because I more or less forgot the meaning of deleting files.

Also git does support the git protocol as a server if you really need it.

I don’t see why an nfs setup wouldn’t work but it could generate a lot of network traffic.

In the end test for yourself if the performance is acceptable and keep a backup

Beets is great. I’ve used it for years now

Admittedly I was completely ignorant of this before but if they switched (back?) to flac then it seems they at least listen to criticism, no?

Or what did they handle poorly? I was thinking of getting tidal but at the moment I am still content with my offline library.

MQA?

No die, is funni

Wait until you hear of a little state called Arkansas.

Whoosh?

And with crowd strike we have seen how reliable Antivirus is.

No, the EU does not force entities to provide Internet services for free.

You have the choice. Pay with your data or your money. I hate it too but what can you do?

Google takeout is the best gdpr compliant platform of all the big tech giants. Amazon for example lets you wait until the very last day they legally can.

Also they do minimal processing like with the metadata (as others commented) as it is probably how they internally store it and that’s what they need to deliver. The simple fact that you can select what you want to request and not having to download everything about you makes it good in my eyes.

I actually see good faith compliance with the gdpr in the Plattform
