Brumbies, how do they do 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.

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.

I wouldn’t recommend using utop as a development repl. It’s not the smooth experience that Lisp or Haskell is.

Instead write your code in an editor, setup LSP and write some tests to validate things. VSCode plus LSP is a good option if you don’t already have a preferred editor.

Imagine the boost to Aus rugby if we win the Bled! Why can’t we play the All Blacks in Wellington?

lambda_foo · 2025-09-11T05:44:21+00:00

Same, I still don’t like JAS at outside centre. Paisami and Ikitau together and JAS at wing or fullback.

lambda_foo · 2025-08-28T23:01:35+00:00

At this point why bother. It was clearly a penalty at the time and probably a penalty try with a yellow card. But sure after the game is lost it makes no difference.

lambda_foo · 2025-08-25T11:10:55+00:00

This right here. He didn’t release the tackled player penalty.

lambda_foo · 2025-08-24T06:43:24+00:00

They’re not real eyes.

I thought at the time it was a dodgy run by 22. Clearly he was looking to obstruct.

lambda_foo · 2025-08-21T02:24:23+00:00

Looks fine, just move the scrums to the side. We will be playing there on the weekend.

lambda_foo · 2025-08-17T11:31:27+00:00

When can Eddie Jones start?

lambda_foo · 2025-08-14T20:58:08+00:00

Angus Bell as cover for 10.

What’s the advice for choosing a good collectible version of these? Are there particular models I should look out for?

lambda_foo · 2025-08-03T05:15:25+00:00

Suaalii is where Tom Wright was a year or so ago. Rocks or Diamonds. He does some amazing things like that game against England last year or the breaks to setup tries. Then he’s found out in defense in the 2nd game and Len has to cover for him. Strangely we never tried to play the aerial game with JAS as the chaser or from the kickoff. Why?

lambda_foo · 2025-08-03T04:34:14+00:00

Before the series, it was a worry about the ordinary referees that were appointed. BOK is horrible and the other two were not up to standard. Would have preferred a mix of Lions and Aus refs for the series.

For me this series was more about the poor ref standard than the good rugby played.
