The ratio of consecutive terms of the Fibonacci sequence is approximately the golden ratio phi = ~1.618. This approximation gets more accurate as the sequence advances. One mile is ~1.609km. So technically for large enough numbers of miles, you will be off by about half a percent.

The proof is exactly the same though.

IMO every datetime should be in utc, and variables for datetimes should either be suffixed “Utc” or have a type indicating their time zone (DateTimeOffset or UtcDateTime etc). Conversion to local time happens at the last possible second (e.g. in the view model or an outbound http request parameter). Of course that doesn’t solve the problem of interoperating with other morons programmers who don’t follow these rules, but it keeps things a lot neater locally.

Scheduling based on regional time conventions (holidays, weekends, etc) is just not great though.

It makes a HUGE difference in compile time. Which only matters if you’re building your own kernel anyway. It’s a solution for its own problem.

I think it’s a good learning experience though. There is genuinely a lot of stuff in there that you can easily, safely remove, and reading up on all the less obvious flags is fun.

Swapping CPU manufacturers entirely? I’d just start my kernel config fresh. Pull up the old one next to a new (default ) one and go down line by line. Odds are there are at most a few flags that would need to be changed, but it’s a good chance to reevaluate your previous decisions too.

Never built Firefox from source but Chromium takes way longer than the kernel for me. Like half an hour on a 5800x3D. Bit much for nightly updates.

That has nothing to do with file transfer (“updating”), just long term storage. It’s also a solved problem. You can solve it at the software level with modern self-healing filesystems.

You can get a housing that lets you pop it in and out

Eh? You can verify bit for bit that a digital transfer off an SSD was successful.

How does the opinion of your supposed internal contact at mozilla affect the basic English interpretation of the public announcement?

kogasa,
@kogasa@programming.dev avatar

No. They’re just not publicly saying it’s off the table. Whether they’re entertaining it internally is a totally different question.

kogasa,
@kogasa@programming.dev avatar

Okay? Is this supposed to change something?

Reviewing PRs costs money/time

I’m only a native English speaker, so guess I could be interpreting it wrong.

You should try being a native English reader.

What it means is “they will not be accepting pull requests at this time.” Whether or not they are open to changing this in the future is not specified. They have not specifically stated that this is off the table, nor have they stated this is their intent.

kogasa,
@kogasa@programming.dev avatar

That is not what that means

You’re quite the lunatic. I’m obviously not defending GitHub PRs, or saying Mozilla should or should not use them. I said “we are not open to PRs at this time” is not the same as “we will be open to PRs in the future.” The truth of that statement has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not Mozilla is, in fact, open to using PRs in the future. But there’s no point in telling you that, because you’re clearly unhinged. Have a good life.

kogasa,

Fair point. I would say on a personal level that GitHub actions is quite nice to use, especially with the marketplace. But I’d be surprised if switching version controls also entailed a CI/CD change for Mozilla, so I can’t think of a good reason.

Step 1: install pipewire

there is no step 2
