Pythagoras was the founder of a sect which itself split into Akusmatics and Mathematics, hence the name Mathematics, its origins are from a sect.

USB-C is required from 2027 on

perhaps not all of these 3000 line changes make sense?

I wonder how many of those actions are really necessary

And how many of those actions do uncached downloads instead of building self-contained offline images... Speaking of which, I wonder if GitHub has implemented any HTTP interception for common mirror sites, like used by apt, etc.

GitHub and WarpBuild cache is so slow it is often faster to re-download hundreds of MB each run than cache it properly.

I so wish this wasn't the case.

Many downloads now go over https. Intercepting them would require having certificate for those domains. IIRC on the clouds the standard images do have a sources list that points to mirrors on the cloud’s network. I would only presume Github Actions runners have the same.

Not sure if something similar exists for NPM which is big for all things JS.

Other CI/CD platforms usually push you towards using self-hosted mirrors for downloading large chunks of data (often aggressively so) but github is pretty hands off when it comes to actions. It is interesting to consider whether managing that traffic might be overwhelming them and if this can be traced back to a lack of forethought when it came to building out those tools.

fun fact you don't need the hyphen. tar cvzf works also

getting the bricks shouldn't be that difficult, should it?

yeah but if all you're getting is the manual that's free https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-215601/NightHawk11991/asml-...

is there already an av2 encoder for ffmpeg?

No, since the format is not final.

The bitstream could be "final" without the coding tools being so.

You seem to be unfamiliar with the concepts of alpha and beta or other pre-release software. Seems a strange thing to be unfamiliar though in 2026

If you see the state of what is called "production quality" software these days, alpha/beta quality has lost most of its meaning. You now just wait for "next prod"

// I jest... but only to hide the sadness

No, they're pointing out how the logic they're replying to is flawed.

If there can be a decoder, there can be an encoder.

it's a decoder of the current draft

Ubuntu will also introduce AI. Why not use pure Debian? (and the distribution flame war starts)

I have no problem using Debian (I’m actually a Linux sysadmin by profession) so I have no problems later switching distros. But as of today, I’m happy with Ubuntu on my road laptop and I would no doubt be happy switching the home PC, too. (Actually the road lap is Lubuntu and it currently has zero visible AI influence.)

they want to start with 26.10, will be interesting if they include it with a long term release

Do these graphing calculators still use Derive (tm)? pity, there is no pc version anymore

isn't Spanish some form of Latin (being colonized by Rome for centuries), what I would be interested in, if there are some Vandal leftovers in nowadays Spanish

Guerra, perro, more that I can't remember, and a good chunk of names (in Spanish):

https://muyinteresante.okdiario.com/historia/60526.html

Well, let's see:

Perro, guerra, mes, pagar, ver, fuego, tierra, cima, perro, clero, altar, tribunal, rey... lots more. Tapa, dardo, ganso, ropa, guardia, sala, cama, barro, guijarro, zarza... more than anyone would think. Aspa, espía, brotar... and the -engo suffix. Visicothic and Celtic cultures are more ingrained in the North/Middle of Spain more than anyone would think despite everyone pictured it as a 100% Mediterranean culture.

Rico/rich, fresco/fresh, Blanco/blank, ganar/win... is not a coincidence.

Heck, tons of Medieval lore in the Castilles use a Gothic typeface...

Engo/enco suffix in words, related to -ingos in Gothic.

On names and surnames... Alonso, Alfonso, Guillermo, Fernando, Hernando, Hernández, López, -everything ending with -ez-, Leovigildo, Rodrigo and tons more.

sorry, it was the Visigoths, not the Vandals
