I guess I have enough karma but what does non-green account name mean ?

MeeGo was actually just a branding of failed project with Intel's Moblin. What nokia shipped was just "compatible with Meego". One key differences was that MeeGo spec was based on rpm packaging while Nokia used deb's. I dont think this played well either in adoption of new "burning platform" :)

So this was not only about FSFE and payments for them but a general audit of their (Nexi's) customers ?

I read Finnish version of Hobbit that had Tove's art about 40 years ago.

Finnish public broadcasting company YLE has same rule. Even if they do cleanups of still images, they need to mark that article has AI generated content.

I was under impression that Oxide rack does not currently ship with GPU's - at least with buildin. . Has this changed recently ?

In finnish, if you google for "spotti", first hit leads to "MTV SPOTTI". MTV is local tv channel and "spotti" is their advertisement portal to purchase their ad services. Second hit leads to "crossword puzzle" site that lists the word "spotti" with multiple explanations that refers to advertisement. Of course spotti has other meanings but its a term used for ads.. I do not know the etymology of that word in finnish but Finland and Sweden do share a lot of words , specifically when spoken.

So, while "spotify" meaning to add ads, might be fun theory, it does make a lot of sense from nordics point of view..

> when did people forget how to run a baremetal server ?

My opinion on this: docker sort of changed the game here. It sort of enabled a lot of people to get a "new and fresh" level of abstraction to not bother about bare metal.

As an example, I work in company where most consultants are doing DevOps and k8 is big part of that.

What made me consider that? I've been told multiple times that "you know your stuff" when I mention some kernel or userland feature that container approach provides.

I wonder if this could be done with PythonBPF that was on HN about week ago ?

I know few modules that can take seconds to import but would have been nice to hear how much they actually gained?

Also maybe, if this approach could yield stats on if some import was needed or not ?

Git also ships bash for windows and doesn't require WSL. Can be even set as a default shell for OpenSSH so you can just ssh into windows bash...

Without actually knowing, i'd guess that would generate bytecode's that could be modified later by patching the resulting binary ?

I remember few buddies using similar pattern in ASM that just added n NOP's into code to allow patching and thus eliminating possible recompilation..

Twenty Thousand Hertz (sound design podcast) had episode about Bluey with its sound designer Dan Brumm last year.

Webmidi is godsent for Akai LPD8 controllers. It came with software that's used to reprogramming midi banks. Software never got updates and doesnt work anymore in any modern mac. Thank $deity for webmidi and some reverse engineering, i can reprogram it to a degree that its at least functional and dont need to throw it away.

Either there's some very long queue or that signup page for slack invite doesn't work.

Been running somewhat similar combo few months and toy'd around with taking the screenshots of the selectors axe-core/playwright reports as I didn't notice such feature in neither playwright or its html reporter. Do you happen to know if slack patched this or is this feature available somehow ?

And if you are willing to answer some other questions regarding axe-core itself, I might have few.

> I was berated for not being able to remember if a System.Tick was 10nanoseconds or 100nanoseconds.

Had somewhat similar scenario. Company's internal headhunters had reached out to me once already before and I did few interview rounds with them and said no. Year later they reached out to me again and had to go thru tech interview again.. during that I did help(sleep) on python repl and mentioned why; since I haven't used sleeps on my own code I wanted I make sure that if sleep will yield cpu time or not. Mood of the interview changed at that point and got rejected by not having enough skills in Python.

Another case; One of the interviewers was late to the meeting and started to shout profanities cuz my Audio Quality was poor. And it was - thanks Sony XM's but the way he acted on the call really gave lasting impression on their "company culture"

In Finnish thats called "laukkaa", in English thats "gallop"

Maybe the genre list could be a bit more extended ? For example, consider "reggae". While one could think that dancehall is also reggae, its sort of rare that people who would enjoy rocksteady would be pleased to get something from dancehall just because the "top level genre" matches ?

Feature is called "stems" and its also available on most major dj apps like Serato and Rekordbox

There's Finnish company called Norsepower that makes these. Their page does mention that the idea also came up around the same time to Finnish inventor Sigurd Savonius who also held some patents around this area. Linked wiki entry didn't seem to mention him thought. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigurd_Johannes_Savonius

And https://www.norsepower.com/

Ps. I don't know anything about the topic - just internet rabbit hole for me as I recently came to know that Norsepower's CMO is well known ex-musician in Finland and startup entrepreneur.

Person who wrote that paper about Koisan rastafari interviewed me and few other locals for his doctoral dissertation ;)

There's no denying that some artists resort to these anticts but being anti-gay is cultural norm within caribbean due to heavy influence of conservative church - it is not limited to the rastafari movement only.

While I do agree with you to the certain degree - I'd add a side note that the movement does not share a single dogma nor there's a body that could lay down one. Rastafari as a movement is splintered into smaller sects (or houses or mansions as they are references within the movement) - each one holding varying views of what ever topic at hand. And as you pointed out some of them are not very friendly - that's always the case when fundamentalism enters the picture.

But that said, I would personally argue that statement that the "whole movement" or every "rasfafari" falls into your assumption is 100% not true. On comparison - If I'd point out that every christian in States is fundamental lunatic there would be people wanting to lynch me.

And just to point out; this is purely anecdata on my own behalf. I've been in contact with various people / mansions for past 33 years and i am "officially" part one of the biggest / global houses but i dont really go under that banner anymore because of the fundamental views of some people within those circles make me sick. But its still not the whole movement.

Someone just linked Fastbuild few days ago in one community i follow and i did take a look as i havent heard about that project before. I didnt really like the idea that it would need to have its own build rules but its understandable - where as distcc would just integrate directly to what ever build tool you would be using. Also the syntax didnt look so "pleasing" but i guess the behefits can out weight the learning curve of yet an another build language (compared to meson/bazel/cmake et al) ..

Having distributed builds on msvc thought with free software sounded very promising thought.

Finn here and i know the game and company and by no means Im not downplaying what you said but; In general - there are quite a few possibilities to apply for grants and similar monetary benefits from the goverment, municipalities and few ngo's here. And as a finn - I would find it actually miraculous that company such as Colossal Order would have never ever benefited from public funding.

> The supposed feature that once written the keywords can be reused is mostly a joke.

I've seen well maintained and designed cucumber / rspec / robotframework "code" and i've seen some really horrible shit. Keyword re-use is really a joke if you are not familiar with any good practices to actual software development. Granted, in "low code" scenarios, the worst selling point is "you don't need to know how to write code" - which imho is bullshit and from my pov, statements like i quoted echoes that.

Disclaimer; i partake and contribute to RF ecosystem. And i do prefer to write my tests or process automation with it even thought i can write code in multiple languages..

If i remember right, RF was Pekka's thesis work inside Nokia and it was later open-sourced and a foundation was formed around it.

My "proud" moment - get recognized in HN discussions - thanks for that ;)

Yeah, point was that jenkins integration and how/what reports are shown is really good but utilizing junit does not provide the same experience. Way back in the past, Peke (the lead dev for those who dont know) was even griefing about RF's build in junit support "there is no standard!" - things have changed now but when i came to RF ecosystem, the buildin junit support was *shit* and it was using a format that wasn't really even close to what some other CI systems where expecting (except jenkins) ..

The latest 6.0 release finaly adds ability to translate most buildin syntax and afaik, keywords.
