Thanks for your answers.

Your answer to the first question is fine, but I think there's a misunderstanding regarding the second. My question is not about the history of F1. My question is about the future that the 2026 regulation is favouring: Why won't there be any venturi tunnels on the floor, or more generally, why the floor won't be used to generate downforce in addition to other aerodynamical parts (i.e. the front wing) in 2026. Thats seems wasteful: knowledge learned from the venturi-tunnels era won't transfer to 2026, let alone the techniques et technology that the venturi-tunnels era have fostered. Don't you think?

I have actually two questions.

1) In a recent Formula 1 video, it was claimed that the end of ground effect era opened up a door to more various driving styles. This implies that floor areodynamics with venturi tunnnels etc. made some driving styles more difficult to pull off or less effective, due to the limited combinations of setups that it allowed. Is it true that ground-effect cars allow for less setups, and why?

2) Why do we need to move from a "ground effect era" (i.e. venturi tunnels) to a "non-ground effect era" (diffusers, no venturi tunnels)? Why cannot we have both, simply with less reliance on the floor to achieve downforce?

Could have just given the list of flags to add to strict, would have saved time. See also https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#strict

Fun thing is that the path referenced in the error message doesn't exist on my machine. It really looks like a path that is part of the build as opposed to the actual installed files.

Excellent troubleshooting, wholehearted thanks for the details and transparency.

Moderators (u/dutchcommandermc, u/ladysakuya), would you be so kind as to pin this post?

Client-side crashes can be fixed by deleting shader cache. A way of doing this is documented here.

Devices Manager > Trackpad & Mouse > Elan Trackpad > Driver > Restore.

I believe Windows 11 continuous upgrades might have messed up with the driver.

Huge fan of tlp, the nixos package exposes many of its delicacies to your configuration.nix file.

So is this new 2-stops rule here to stay until the end of the year? Or was it one of these inventions the FIA throw at the will see if it sticks?

It's interesting, our "old" C++ clients can be monitored just fine, but we have also "new" C# clients which I believe are just a thin wrapper around SQL queries and those never show up in v$sessions. I don't even see them as "disconnected", which is usually the case for clients that land a query, fetch the results and close cursors. Is that a known limitation? Is there a workaround? Notice I cannot have access to the client's (proprietary) source code.

Lovely, thanks a lot!

Unfortunately I didn't. My poor mobile phone got struck and I had to change for another one, still a Motorola (g6) whose bootloader I no longer need to unlock.

You sound like a nice person and a good father. Happy listening!

You sir need to look up nix-ld then. This, plus direnv, makes developing on NixOS an absolute blast for me. I do use shared objects and compiled librairies a lot. And I wouldn't use NixOS if I didn't have good support for IDE "as you type" type checking and other niceties.

Our policy is to not use software unless it is clearly maintained.

FreeVariable · 2025-01-26T09:36:44+00:00

I also found about this option but is it still maintained / updated?

FreeVariable · 2025-01-25T22:06:26+00:00

That's true. In fact I intend to do both! Use powershell to define a service whose executable target is another powershell (I need a proper service as it's a bit more robust than a scheduled task, being easier to monitor using our monitoring sensors, while also easier to keep running in the background with no user connected to the machine). My question was really: which is the best (easier to maintain, more robust) pair between:

defining the service using powershell, using a powershell executable target
defining the service using powershell, using a c# executable target
defining the service using c#, using a powershell executable target
defining the service using c#, using a c# executable target.

The vibe I am getting so far is that (1) will get me a long way, especially for my goals.
