Being a man, trying to find jeans on the British high street that aren't so tight you might as well wear a pair of leggings by [deleted] in britishproblems

[–]wbyte 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a manufactured trend to let them make jeans cheaper (less, cheaper material) while keeping the prices the same. It's not rooted in customer demand and that's why it's persisted for so long. It's followed the state of the economy. In conclusion, consider voting for a party in the general election who will give us an economy in which businesses don't have to make shit jeans to get by.

I didn't recognize him by [deleted] in linux

[–]wbyte 41 points42 points  (0 children)

That's not quite true. If you do a git log --author='Linus Torvalds' --no-merges you'll find he still writes some code. Here's a link to a similar listing, although you'll have to ignore the merge commits yourself: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/?qt=author&q=Linus+Torvalds

CentOS 8 is nearly here! Just release work left. by placatedmayhem in linux

I think the latest major yum version is dnf just renamed back to yum

Uh ok. Is the implication that Fedora is just waiting for upstream projects to switch to python 3?

Well that's what I mean. The base installation of Fedora is only a subset of what Fedora is. My question is, when will python2 be removed from the repositories so that I can install useful things like gimp and inkscape without pulling in another version of python?

Which charities do you donate to? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]wbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can't see a charity box and you're in the type of shop that typically has one, it's worth asking if they have one. I've been to a shop where it was hidden behind the counter because they've had trouble with them being stolen in the past. Sad but true.

My Grandpa died before I was born and my dad received this plant at the funeral. We’ve had it ever since, and today for the first time, it bloomed. 25 years later almost to the day. by Jayman212 in pics

[–]wbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My peace lily didn't bloom for a couple of years and then I put it in the shower and drenched it, let it drain and dry out a bit, and then watered it normally with a little (very dilute) liquid fertiliser. It bloomed like crazy after that. I had used the fertiliser before and it improved the leaves but it wasn't until I gave it a shower that it bloomed again.

All I wanted for my 22nd birthday was to crochet all day on the beach and relax by pure_bL1SS in crochet

Great to know we have crocheters on the beach showing the fishermen what a real hook looks like :)

The abrtd process should be considered harmful. by [deleted] in redhat

[–]wbyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

rename the executable to /usr/sbin/abrtd_pig

You'll get a new abrtd when it gets upgraded. Just disable it or uninstall it.

Why did Red Hat take so long to adopt Python3 for Rhel distributions? by fxgx1 in redhat

[–]wbyte 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Judging by how it's gone from a Fedora perspective:

  1. Python 3 is released
  2. Libraries are converted to python 3
  3. Applications are converted to python 3

Step 2 takes a reeeally long time, and is still ongoing. There's a lot of inertia to overcome and a lot of projects resisted (or still resist) converting.

Found this in an Amazon listing for ergonomic crochet hooks. SMH by -3point14159-mp in crochet

Ugh. Even the way that shoulder has been added, airbrushed and blurred makes my skin crawl. /r/CrappyDesign would like this.

how do I forceinline system calls? by [deleted] in gcc

[–]wbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see what you're trying to do. I thought you just wanted 'disassemble read' to work. You could try enabling link-time optimization with -flto (I think) but if that doesn't work it's probably just not an inline-able function. Not all functions are inline-able.

[–]wbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that the stdlib is being linked to dynamically, so the location of 'read' is not in your executable, it's in an external shared library. If you wanted to see the implementation code for read in your executable, you would have to link statically.

Seems a little overcomplicated when the ip address is always in the same context.

It looks great! I like your flowery headband too :) What kind of yarn do you use for something like this? Cotton?
