That would explain why my MP - not quite climate change denier David TC Davis - has been pulling a lot of duty this election.

I wrote a bit of BASIC on my Spectrum but there was a reason they had keyword shortcuts on that keyboard. It wasn’t until I got my Dragon 32 which had I proper keyboard that I really got into coding.

My dad failed his 11+ so was sent to a technical school so he actually learnt how to lay a row of bricks or how to beat out lead flashing. He did end up doing a PhD in Physics but I suspect his early school years explain why he’s always been much more practical than me. My wife was a stage tech during uni so I’ll happily defer to her for joinery. I can just about solder a copper pipe or big pads on a PCB.

SystemReady is already a thing. When it becomes mandatory for design wins hopefully it will become more common place.

I wouldn’t say that, it’s just there is a lot in vendor kernels and little incentive to upstream stuff for older SoCs that have already shipped. It’s true Google has come around to the importance of not drifting too far from upstream and hopefully we are starting to see the results of that change in attitude.

As I understand it my colleges in the QC landing team @ Linaro spend a lot of time getting stuff into the various upstreams.

This does seem rather self destructive. I guess the brain drain will continue.

It really depends how you see the firmware boundary. You can either treat it as a set of magic numbers you load onto the hardware so it works or see it as an intrinsically programmable part of your system that you should be able to see the source code for or live without support for the device.

I run Circe in Emacs because it’s lightweight and integrates with the modeline for not overly distracting notifications.

Usually it’s one of those things you do when your move house. Every now and again they will send a form to confirm the entries are correct and if nothing has changed you just tick there box and send it back (or reply online). People who move a lot or bounce between two addresses (e.g. students) are usually the ones that drop through the cracks.

I’ve just lugged an Ampere AVA to a conference for a demo. It’s a nice beefy machine and I think will finally be able to be a daily driver once I get it back home.

If the system is SystemReady then the EFI boot chain is fairly straightforward now. My current workstation just booted off the Debian usb installer like any other pc.

It’s a web of trust. If the package maintainer is doing due diligence they should at least be aware how the upstream community runs. If it’s a one person passion project then it’s probably possible to give the changelog and diffstata once over because things don’t change that fast. Otherwise they are relying on the upstream not shipping broken stuff.

Usually when MPs defect the receiving party tries to find them a safe seat to defend come the election. Otherwise what would the point be?

I don’t think Kamikaze’s came about until much later in the war. I’m sure a few heavily damaged planes went down taking targets with them though.

I just installed Ubuntu for my 11 year old and they could use it fine. Didn’t bother with any parental controls on the device itself (although I can ssh in if needed) because the network deals with filtering at a DNS level.

I wonder which of the many fetch tools support 24bit terminal colours.

From the foreword:

“Throughout, the Review has focused on hearing a wide range of perspectives to better understand the challenges within the current system and aspirations for how these could be addressed. This report does not contain all that we have heard but summarises consistent themes, using direct quotes to illustrate points made, where appropriate.”

How heavily does she quote this group in the report? Because the report certainly doesn’t recommend banning care for trans people.

Meeting with different groups is hardly evidence of bias on her part. The report even mentions the range of views that fed into report in the intro.

That’s what the reflog is for!
