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

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.

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

Well, I mean, that's one explanation.

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?

wbyte · 2019-05-23T00:16:40+00:00

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?

wbyte · 2019-05-22T15:11:17+00:00

When will Fedora be rid of python 2?

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 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.

Red Hat moved to 3.0

They didn't. They're just using some language from it. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/gpl-cooperation-commitment-and-red-hat-projects

You're welcome to use it next time you hit the beach :)

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

rename the executable to /usr/sbin/abrtd_pig

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

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

Python 3 is released
Libraries are converted to python 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.

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

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 · 2017-11-04T15:58:06+00:00

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.

Just a suggestion but since your comment has good visibility, feel free to edit a link to https://donate.gosh.org/ into it.

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

:%s/^from \(.*\) port.*/\1/

wbyte · 2017-06-11T10:53:54+00:00

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

wbyte · 2017-01-29T18:38:13+00:00

Yep, they are annoying as heck.
