That is… extremely sad news for me. If you only knew how many times I pronounced your name when talking to blind people, including on air (I mean, on YouTube), you would be surprised, to say the least. Your podcast has always been a great source of news, discussions, thoughtful interviews, brilliant demonstrations. You taught me lots of things, although you don't know about it, Jonathan. I don't know how tactile you are, but since it's virtual, I permit myself to hug you and wish you all the best in your future endeavor. And if some day, one day you decide to relaunch a podcast… you know you'll have many devoted listeners, not only me of course, but I'll be among the first to hit that Subscribe button. Thank you for all your exceptional work. to me Jonathan Mosen means quality, brilliance, truthfullness, a steel will and a kind generous heart. P.S. On a less serious note, it's also sad there won't be an episode 330 (country code 33 is France) and an episode 380 (country code of Ukraine is 380).
Halfway through this latest Radiant Others #klezmer #podcast episode interviewing Zisl Slepovitch & Stephen Naron about their work selecting, arranging, performing and recording music and poems found in the #holocaust survivor and witness testimony at the Fortunoff Video Archive. I have one of the CDs in this series but didn't know all this about how they came to exist. Often these songs were collectively composed in WWII labour camps and recalled by a single survivor. radiant-others-a.blubrry.net/z…
Today represents two countries celebrating their independence day. The date celebrates Malaysia's independence on 31st August 1957, and Trinidad and Tobago's independence on 31st August 1962, both from the United Kingdom. #FactsMatter #Malaysia #TrinidadandTobago

DoomTTS scripts for Windows are now on Github. I don't normally do development in Windows, so if anyone wants to contribute to make the DoomTTS.ps1 script better, pull requests are more than welcome.
#klubovna má další upgrade, za který může #3Dtisk. Původní plán byl nechat "pozadí" za šipkovým terčem industriálně jak je na první fotce. Jelikož je stejné pro vzduchovkovou střelnici (kterou jsem zatím neprovoznil), předpokládal jsem častou výměnu Mirelonu na povrchu. Ale v rámci jednoho opravného malování jsem zalepil hrany páskou a vypadalo to docela dobře. Tak mě napadlo udělat to natrvalo jak je to vidět na druhé fotce. Vůbec nechápu, že někteří lidé jsou schopni žít bez 3D tiskárny 😁.
Storm Dragon pushed changes to the master branch of the linux-game-manager project WolfenDoom should match Proximity addon no matter the name so long as it starts with same prefix as all other addons.
1% is a suggestion. Substitute whatever fraction makes sense for your life and position. Is that 0.025%? Great! Contribute that and use the tag with blessings.
The idea is to normalize regularly giving to support the tens of thousands of "dude in Nebraska holding up the internet" #XKCD2347 that make our computing life as rich as it is.

brother in law lives down the street, I pass it all the time. I’m wondering between the heavy rains and the vibrations off the 720/Ville-Marie (literally right beside it)…
The residents in the building-beside-the-collapsed-wall have had to break in to get their stuff (cat, tools, etc) only to find they’ve already been robbed. (There’s a security guard posted but he’s only watching the front.) (Cat and tools were recovered, $2k+ bike and others were gone)
nvidia drivers fail after update and it can't boot KDE. I can get to console by pressing ctrl+alt+F2, so keep waiting for an update. Selecting a previous kernel in GRUB does work.
“I think that AI has killed, or is about to kill, pretty much every single modifier we want to put in front of the word “developer.”
“.NET developer”? Meaningless. Copilot, Cursor, etc can get anyone conversant enough with .NET to be productive in an afternoon … as long as you’ve done enough other programming that you know what to prompt.”
For many years I haven't liked calling myself an X-language developer anyway, because when working on a whole product as a solo developer, I have to work in whatever set of languages is most practical for getting the job done, and learning different flavors of imperative language isn't that hard. Plus, I don't want to tie my identity to a particular language (as I possibly did with Python early in my career), because then I'd be more resistant to using new languages when appropriate.
The IBM 1401 computer had optional support for math with pounds/shillings/pence in hardware, back when there were 12 pence in a shilling and 20 shillings in a pound. Of course there were two incompatible standards, so the computer had a knob on the front panel to select the standard.
Ugh, the maintainer of the Debian bcachefs-tools package just orphaned it because its Rust dependencies are moving too fast. jonathancarter.org/2024/08/29/…
So, I need to be careful not to cause that same problem in AccessKit, especially if my current (draft) merge request to use AccessKit in GTK 4 (via the C API) is finished and accepted.
yeah.. this is the main reason why with #rusticl my policy basically is "I use at most whatever FireFox ESR needs", because FireFox ESR is something every distro has to build and package unless they want to risk an insecure web browser.
can the versions used for gtk4-rs be a sensible baseline? That isn't easy to package for Debian either but so far Debian's Rust maintainers always got it in.
my impression is that it is more that the rust dependency handling is incompatible with how Debian wants to handle dependencies. Note that this is true for go, JS, ... just as well.
In the bcachefs case they built against *newer* dependencies than those the tool had set in their Cargo.toml.
I doubt you need to worry with accesskit: Debian will pick a version and never update that again anyway.
@hunger I probably do still need to be careful to minimize AccessKit's own dependencies, especially dependencies on pre-1.0 packages, so we don't have the situation where AccessKit depends on 0.x but Debian has foo 0.y (or 0.w).
Keep the MSRV low, that is about as much as you can do. At least the rustc the distros pick might still work then.
Distribution will force whichever version of dependencies they picked anyway... whether or not that causes the whole thing to crash or not.
I started to use `cargo install --locked` to make sure to get the binaries the devs tested and not some random crap mutilated by some distribution packager with no clue about rust or programming.
no he didn't. The version bcachefs-tools that has been shipping for 2 years in Debian stable is broken. Straight up does not work. There was a bug in bindgen 0.66 that makes it not work. So bcachefs first vendored a fixed version, and then updated to 0.69 which was fixed. The Debian maintainer decided to compile with 0.66 anyway, and didn't even test to see if it would work.
Coming up in the new academic year, I get to spend the semester with a fresh bunch of second-year students who are going on to learn some more logic than the first-year basics.
Like last year, in Intermediate Logic we’ll be exploring natural deduction proof theory and different kinds of models for propositional, modal and first-order predicate logic.
New this year, my Doktorvater, Prof. Graham Priest, will be joining us in the last week of classes, so we’ll have a fun back-and-forth about truth-value gaps, gluts and paradoxes to end things with a bit of a bang.
We just read this announcement about the unfortunate natural disaster that has impacted the headquarters of #Orbit Research in India. Bits sends our best wishes for the safety of all as they seek a return to normalcy. More can be read here. News about the delay in updates from Orbit Research groups.io/g/orbit-reader/messa…
furt se snažím zjistit co tam je reálně špatně, zatím marně. Ze svých zkušeností mám tendenci uživatele brát s velkou rezervou, protože občas tvrdí něco co se nestalo. Bohužel tohle je celkem výzva pro Piráty, trochu se bojím, aby to nebyl jeden z velkých hřebíků do rakve pirátů.
