I didn't realize that Swiss trains apparently also adhere to the "schedule for 80% of capacity rule".
Apparently trains in Switzerland go around 80% of the top speed possible on the track. The 20% overhead is used to make up time in the case of delays.
The thinking is: stable and predictable operation is more important than going faster. Because the cost of passengers regularly missing layovers is much higher than the benefits of trains being 20% faster.
CLI tool to provide a per-language breakdown of a folder of sourcecode, optionally respecting things like gitignores, hidden files, and symlinks. - Release 0.4.0 · trypsynth/codestatsGitHub
What I'm looking for in an utility like this is some kind of directory breakdown to see where the `meat` of the code really is, perhaps filtered by language.
Something like:
du -hd3 | sort -rh
But for LoC instead of file sizes.
I haven't found anything that has this feature.
It's December first, and you know what that means:
Show off your advent calendars if you have them! 😊
Mine is shared by the family, with different surprises for everyone. For me there are tarot cards that I traded with other people. They were blind trades so I have no idea what's in store!
I quite like the first one 😊

Unless we're doing some kind of livepatching, a 10 year uptime isn't something to be happy about.
Sincerely,

But in all, beautifully-written article. I don't agree that trying to cater to the desktop is a bad thing, though, although the warnings they spoke of were valid.
That server had absolutely zero open ports to the internet and only acted as a transparent network traffic shaper with IPFW/ALTQ. It provided 10 years of service providing rock solid performance in this environment. I don't recall there being any CVEs that affected IPFW/ALTQ or any other TCP/IP functionality that it exposed.
I'm also an ex-infosec grump :)
Why is having a 10 year uptime on a FreeBSD network appliance so much different than a 10 year uptime on a Cisco switch/router? That is not uncommon either. If a CVE is only exploitable if you can somehow access the private management network I generally don't care so much because if they can access your management network you have much much bigger problems to deal with
> although the warnings they spoke of were valid.
I think they're a little confused because they seem to think that pkgbase means base comes from the ports tree and it's not stable anymore but rolling release instead. That's not what's even happening here.
Though they are correct at alluding to a more rapid development future being possible where we could have desktop users targeting STABLE or even CURRENT quite easily
Hi, around two weeks ago I started making Nexus, a Matrix client.
In these two weeks, I've made great progress, as you can see in the progress list.
However, I'd love some help implementing some features, or help with UI design, as it takes me quite a while to design a UI.
If you're interested, please reply!
Boosts appreciated! ❤️

@dansup brings up an important point. I don't know of a lot of Fediverse developers who have received grants from the Canadian government. I built pumpio.org almost entirely with SR&D credits for StatusNet. That's the best example I can think of.
Given how many of us there are here, and how important the Fediverse is to our digital sovereignty, shouldn't there be more funding available?

in reply to yosh • • •How does this work when a delayed train is behind a non-delayed one on the track?
I feel like introducing a rule like this would require us[1] to redesign our train infrastructure to enable more points where trains can overtake eachother.
[1] Where "us" can mean whatever you want it to mean, and the point will still stand.

in reply to miki • • •@miki this scenario rarely happens on Swiss rail. The manjority of routes are "monotonic", that is, a train ahead in schedule will also be ahead In arrival time. This is due to at least three factors:
There are scenarios where it happens, those are when regional trains interact with intercity trains. In that case, a track change is made to allow the intercity trains to pass a regional train at a station, but those cases are the other way around: the regional train is delayed such that the intercity unexpectedly caught up.
What's key here is that it's not necessarily a product of infrastructure and more a result of careful planing and inter-operator cooperation.

in reply to Andre Videla • • •@Andrev Ah, that makes sense.
As far as I know, what we do in Poland is quite the opposite. If a train is delayed, we allow that single train to be delayed more and more, to keep the rest of the schedule intact. This prevents a single delay from affecting the entire system.
