I need maybe 15-20 minutes. Doing weekly backups. Thanks.

Simple additions would be acceptable, if those are "enough logical". But modifying and deletion in language specs itself are NOT acceptable. As it makes "studies" meaningless. Learn once, earn 50 years! On simple addition, new thing to learn...

Yes, actual messages required.

The compiler as such is fine. It is the ecosystem with library distribution that draws criticism by some/many.

Thanks for the links 🙏 I had one C++ book somewhere in the mid ‘90s, can’t remember number of pages, but it was thickest book on the shelf (and that’s was next to the “Microsoft Windows 95 Resource Kit”). I really tried, I did, but stupid me...

Apologies for the delay. Can't be certain now (I'm booted into a backup BE), but there was. As a user, I'm told I don't have permission to run firefox, or I don't have access permission to it. If I try running it as root I'm told that can't be...

I think the language itself has some problems. There is an old rule of thumb that states that the practical, engineering usefulness of a programming language (whatever it's theoretical merits) is inversely proportional to the number of pages in...

If the apple falls apart when cooked, then you are using the wrong apple variety. Different apple varieties are suitable for different cakes and tarts. https://www.marthastewart.com/8016487/best-apple-varieties-for-baking In Europe, many...

Have you tried elderflower syrup drink? One of my favorite summer refreshments.

If we are talking about post-apocalypse, I always remember the theme from the first resident evil movie, by marilyn manson... View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpGQaUZ5Qzs&list=RDHpGQaUZ5Qzs

Now, back to music: Eduard Artemiev, soundtrack from the movie “Stalker” by Andrey Tarkovsky

I found elektor is still there: https://www.elektormagazine.com/ And .. archive of all the old copies of elektor in pdf format here, fantastic! 😁 https://archive.org/details/ElektorMagazine/Elektor[nonlinear.ir] 1974-12/ And apologies to other...

This is not a thread to discus other topics than music, so I apologize in advance to others here. Said that, were she found that magazine “Electronics”, doesn’t look like a flat/apartment, that was probably some school or sci institute, judging...

Ah, great. I remember Weitek! It looks like a very good technical magazine, interesting articles, I can see timing diagrams, state machine diagram (I think?), oscilloscope waveforms... of course out of date now but still a lot of good...

It takes me 3-4 minutes to fully build Wine with just 'make'...and I'd probably need 50 GHz CPU if it were single job per defaults ;)

Because 22 years ago Perl was ejected from base for good reasons. It took alot of work to correct that work. Please learn from the past. Minimal base system is best. I am not a programmer. Just a user viewpoint...

I am hesitant to assume this is an OpenGL spec issue because it is specific to Android (i.e desktop GL on Linux/Windows/Web never strips the context). So it is definitely within the OS layer (perhaps not driver layer). Don't get me wrong, the...

I believe this variable doesn't exist in currently supported variables. There are four JOBS related variables defined, none of them is the one you mentioned. It can't be found nowhere in the ports framework. Wherever you got the info from, it's...

As I can see, article talks about Data Translation DT2871 HSI Color Frame Grabber card and Mercury Computer Systems MC3200 (Weitek XL-8032 chipset) add-in card/processor for balanced MIPS/MFLOPS vector and scalar operations.

I guess Rust users are part of the "woke" crowd of programming.

Chernobyl stalker Vicky found an electronics magazine in an abandoned apartment in Pripyat; one article appears to be discussing the design of a 24-bit graphics card or perhaps an external framestore for what looks like a PC, I can follow some...

FWIW, I'm leaving this thread as I'm back to 14.3-STABLE because of 290265.

I’m not a programmer (can do only some sh, bash and awk), but following different events and dramas online, it looks to me that Rust doesn’t have “Rust Language” problem, it has “Rust bros” problem, and that’s what some folks are allergic to...

No. I'm still here.

UPDATE: turns out i just misunderstood the purpose of MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE: i thought it was a variable that forced the build system to do a parallel build, because whenever i'd run make -jN on a port, it'd most of the time throw an error telling me...

I don’t think that this sysctl is related to the problem at hand (default is 12 for a while now), but hw.psm.synaptics_support=1 might be?

Please see 85232

And we consume a bunch of them with every meal 😉

DNA is a complex molecule, and even by itself, it does have an outsize influence on our lives... as well as hydrocarbons and carbohydrates :P

Poking him while he peeks – is his name maybe a Commodore? 😉

nope, just poking him while he makes a silly face

Are you attempting “cat hypnosis”? AFAIK this will be more effective if he is on his back 😜

here he is again

Khm... C21H30O2 😜

This article says "QR (quercitin) may hold therapeutic potential against SARS-CoV-2 due to its inhibitory effects on several stages of the viral life cycle." and "However, large well-designed RCTs of quercetin-based compositions are still needed...

Charlie Brown I did know about various Gentoo groups, and I haven't asked on the forum. My logic is that I figure this is probably a bhyve issue, rather than a Gentoo one, and I already get in somewhat embarrassing email exchanges with my friend...

Yeah ! Definitely share it just here, on that thread. Do you know that there is a Gentoo Discussion chat on conversation app ? Have you asked help on Gentoo's forum ?

Unfortunately Rust can't protect the data from being stripped out under it. Same with the difficulty of using C (or traditional C++) middleware with smart pointers. Unless Rust "owns" the memory, it can still only make (educated) guesses at its...

Oh, you would be surprised what can happen. Consider this: dma->src = source; dma->dst = dest; dma->size = len; Now, these registers are right next to each other in the address space. The compiler could figure out that invoking the load store...

I find it more weird to find this thread here.

The wife.

No, sadly, no luck on it. I might just let it go. I'm not super interested in Gentoo--no dislike for it, just no special urge for it. As it was, I'd written a quick Arch howto (https://srobb.net/archquick.html) and my Gentoo friend said, you...

Rust is a high-performance Algol like language like C and C++ with zero or low cost abstractions. It uses manual memory management (not a garbage collector) like C and C++, but it is specifically designed to raise problems with your manual memory...

No. I'm still here.
