pytorch is a unique kind of mess

the bash language server is in nodejs…

everybody at the party has a job

I started using aeon, which comes with a specially-configured snapper integrated with systemd and the package manager, a while ago. it’s so nice to have a system that does automatic updates, has automatic rollback, and cannot be broken by using it like a normal user.

it’s not completely stable yet, but what’s there is really cool. heads up if you want to try it that it’s made to be the only os on your machine and so will wipe all partitions on the drive you install it on.

yeah the first two were because the pilot was outmanuevering the flight computer. the plane was much more capable than the initial software.

another fun fact is that the swedish air force does not have an aerobatics team. they all train for those maneuvers and whenever there’s an airshow they’re invited to they just send a random free airman from whatever base they happen to be on.

doas

they were originally made in sweden on license by volvo aerospace. now that’s part of bae systems, but the entire thing is modular and if worse comes to worst, the drawings are probably still around.

hey now be fair

List of accidents and incidents involving the JAS 39 Gripen

although given the JAS has a 23-year head start, i gotta say the F-35 has made a fantastic grab for the lead.

have you tried Supraland? it’s weirdly the closest thing to metroid prime i’ve played in a long time, and it’s got completely the opposite tone. it’s hilarious.

as noted in one of the steam reviews, don’t let the looks fool you. on first glance it seems to be a cheap asset flip, but it’s an extremely tightly designed game with something like 20 hours of content and almost everything is original assets. it has a mishmash of styles because it takes place in a kid’s sandbox, so the different kinds of toys don’t match eachother.

i can tell you the one that surprised me the most: Yoku’s Island Express! utterly adorable pinball metroidvania. you’re a little dung beetle pushing a big ball around to deliver mail.

sweden is so sparsely populated that some places have more empty houses than people. population density is about a quarter that of spain. the big cities are closer to the rest of europe, with homes going for three to four times the price of something an hour away and the rent queue being dominated by people who have been there since the 90s.

i bought a 70ish sqm apartment for about €100k two-ish hours from stockholm. in the city that would probably go for 5-20x the cost (depending on area) and have at least double the monthly cost.

as evidenced by the instance i’m on, sweden.

which of course also means that i did the normal stupid we do here and gave the amount before taxes. the take-home from that is more like €40k.

only if you suck when you’re supposed to blow

ironically that’s for reviving drowning victims

what about insurance and healthcare?

us software salaries are insanely high compared to the rest of the world, because the cost of living in SV is insanely high.

with a €60k a year salary i’m in the 90th percentile of earners in my country and it took me about two years to have enough to finance my own three-bedroom apartment on one income.

there are actually lots of people outside

fair enough. i just know ibm is a big actor with many european governments as well, more so than the others. probably by virtue of having been around a lot longer.

i mean

Edit: sorry, reuters seems to be stripping stuff off of the link. the quote i linked to is

Technology giants Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM were named as “central to Israel’s surveillance apparatus and the ongoing Gaza destruction.”
