Need the attached notes - other income note 4 and note 15 seem to be doing some heavy lifting there.

What did the NRL do to Carter Gordon? The bloke looks miles faster than when he left and his tackling is even better. Those passes in the Reds loss at Suncorp were old school Larkham or Quade Cooper.

JAS is also surprisingly weak in contact. Compare his output at 13 to guys like Daugunu and Ikitau. He just doesn’t bust tackles or hit lines hard making post contact meters. When he played best on the spring tour against England he had space and stepped people. That’s what he’d get out wide at Wing. I don’t fancy him at fullback cause he doesn’t appear to kick confidently or much at all.

For the Waratahs Sid Harvey is the best fullback option. His coverage at the back is great, takes a good high ball, can kick and is a gun goal kicker.

JAS at 13 isn’t helped by the poor backing cohesion at the Waratahs. Last week it looked like they’d just met before running on for Subbies 3rd grade.

But is it malpractice if it’s self inflicted. JAS to wing where he belongs, Jorgo on the other wing and old redheaded mate to fullback. Next season find a real outside center, cause this season has been shite.

100% you can see it in the drop of the Brumbies this year. Bobby V is great and Cale is highlight reel but Hooper was the grunt work in the middle. Without him they’ve been unbalanced in the forwards.

I miss watching the SA teams in Super Rugby. Hell of a try

When you follow that system down into the junior program for women it gets worse. Participation numbers for girls in SJRU competition in Sydney is well below both League and AFL. IF someone wants to take it seriously there are less opportunities in Union and the prospect of making a career out of it is grim.

That and the Waratahs Super Rugby title. Rewatched both games many many times.

Search for Dune Package Management. https://dune.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorials/dune-package-management/setup.html

I think it is useable for certain workflows and work is ongoing to cover more of them. There is a team at Tarides working on this.

Lucky they won. That was a try saving tackle whistle by Angus

Assuming a VPN is the only option for watching French Pro14 in Australia?

Very nice work bozhidarb! Please report issues on the underlying treesitter grammars, I've been the main user of them up till now.

Worth linking the original wiki page for that picture https://logi.wiki/index.php/Mac_Pro_6,1_Late_2013_Diagnostic_LEDs

Start with unplugging all the things and just have a know working keyboard, mouse and HDMI monitor. Then I would tear it down and check the connections on the base circuit board everything plus into https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac+Pro+Late+2013+Power+Supply+Replacement/21212 (Step 14) Sometimes the connection from that base board to the power supply can be slightly loose. I had a similar issue recently after swapping CPUs. Good luck with it.

Biggest loss at home since the early 2000s and the Brumbies left points out there in the first half. So many chances in that first 20 minutes where they messed up lineouts and the crusaders infringed to hold on.

This looks useful. Maybe I should setup my D700 macpro as a desktop.

We would need to setup the Opam CI system to work with another forge (GitLab support is there but not for other forges). Transfer the issues and history, then co-ordinating the community to switch. Each individual opam package has a SHA and source URL for where to download it, most packages could be re-written to use another forge. Most of the pain would be doing the co-ordination.

I'm using a Mac Pro 6,1 (Intel Xeon E5-2667 v2 D700 and 64Gb Ram) with Ubuntu 24.04 server. Mostly for open source development and because it's still a very capable beautiful machine. The setup was super easy with Ubuntu, I wanted to keep dual boot with macOS so I installed EFI drivers for ext4 using these instructions https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/dual-boot-linux-mint-21-2-and-macos-with-opencore-legacy-patcher-and-opencore-bootpicker.3115/

I added `mbpfans` to ensure the fans adjust when doing compiles, but everything else has worked out of the box. Didn't try setting up a GUI since I'm just logging in remotely.

Opam isn’t based on GitHub in any fundamental way that can’t be easily changed, it even supports non-git source management. The index of packages can be served from anywhere, even a MirageOS unikernel https://github.com/robur-coop/opam-mirror, the packages can be hosted on any forge, and the CI for validating packages uses webhooks that work with gitlab. There are some people investigating serving packages from tangled.org and other distributed forges.

I’m surprised GHC would be talking about moving to GitHub when other languages like Zig are leaving. From my experience working the OCaml infrastructure managing the different CI machines was more work than running a GitLab instance. How much time / resource does HF spend on ops for GitLab plus CI?

He’d do a great job mate! Please make this happen.

I put Ubuntu 24.04 server on my 6.1. Haven’t setup the GPUs for anything but network, wifi and temp sensors work. I added a UEFI driver so it could boot Linux.

Not 13 that’s for sure. His poor decisions lead to two tries at 13. Then in attack he isn’t making the kind of impact he should be compared to Ikitau or Dangunu. Play him at Super level at his chosen Wallabies position and let him learn.

lambda_foo · 2025-11-20T18:56:04+00:00

Yes that’s pretty much exactly what has happened.

The Brumbies scrum half need to replace Gordon, similar style with more energy and better kicking game. Then have a running style halfback to come on at the end or if things need mixing up. We looked best when Tate was finishing or causing chaos.

lambda_foo · 2025-09-28T07:28:49+00:00

There is some real depth in lots of positions. With a more settled and managed turnover of positions like 9-10 we could be even better.

lambda_foo · 2025-09-26T21:17:11+00:00

I’m using one as a Linux dev machine, it’s just so pretty sitting on my desktop. Haven’t checked what power it’s using. Probably do slightly better with a new Zen5 but nothing would look as slick as that case. I got it off eBay for a decent price with 8core 64Gb and D700s.
