It hasn't improved that much, you need to know the final size and fill all attributes, there are no defaults, at least in Python.

The recent release of 0.11 marks the inclusion of the long awaited serialization feature. Python and Java only for now. I've been using it for a while for Python and although it has some rough edges, it works pretty well and I'm super excited for the project.

Hey! Could you provide feedback how it did work for you?

I'd like to know the names of all the ladies the character "Chinasky" fucked in the book "Women".

Should be more than 20 at least.

I recommend rmlint. Had great experiences with it. Just run rmlint /your/dir, and get an executable script to remove all found duplicates.

It would be more fruitful if you both mentioned your concrete specs/drivers/proton-version to compare experiences. Remember to check your game in protondb.com and contribute if you want.

Please do, real-life examples of systemd units are useful for learning.

There was a quote I couldn't find that said something like we are fortunate that millions of people share our same delusions/world-view that us and that kept us from the asylum.

Finally! I'm eager to try this. I always wanted to control my keyboard lights to have 'analog' notifications and stuff[1]. Never bothered to check the windows apps with wine.

[1] I was thrilled when some dev showed on twitter that he reserved some key lights to CI build status.

(offtopic/meta)

> Me and my girlfriend wanted to watch a movie on Netflix (...)I watched the film on Netflix.

I'm starting to notice this pattern a lot both in person and on the internet. How long until Netflix becomes a verb? It doesn't add to the story, but somehow people feel compelled to advertise the service they use.

New comment by kodachi in "ESR banned from OSI over this email"

kodachi — Sun, 08 Mar 2020 15:45:55 +0000

Thanks. This 'under attack' and 'us vs them' really sucks. It would be unwise to form an opinion of the whole thing without actually reading all of the emails. Yes, there are ad-hominem attacks in the email you quoted, and even if ESR was right in everything, probably not the best way to express it.

Anyway, at least this outrage brought the issue into attention, now I'm super curious about this matter.

I'm reading his side first here: http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=8609

> Ctrl+L feels as convenient as c+Enter

I learned to hit Ctrl with my palms, and never looked back. Do you use your pinky? If so, I agree c+Enter is more convenient than ctrl+L.

An exquisite snapshot of a portion of current sysadmin times. It was about time this meme was born. Do I feel relieved or like I have to catch up given that I don't know 100% of the technologies mentioned? Mmm.

Would be great if you could use your own server, and that the server code was open.

Simulating the micro-environment is the tricky part. Humans go great distances and interact a lot with the world, and that, plus time, is what aging is, isn't it? Can you simulate all the different ways DNA can mutate?

we are letting out of our control because it's more convenient. Nowadays to truly own your data, you have to go to great lengths, but the solutions are arriving, but probably not for the mainstream consumer any time soon.
