New on my blog: The dead weight of packages in #Gentoo
"""
You’ve probably noticed it already: Gentoo developers are overwhelmed. There is a lot of unresolved bugs. There is a lot of unmaintained packages. There is a lot of open pull requests. This is all true, but it’s all part of a larger problem, and a problem that doesn’t affect Gentoo alone.
It’s a problem that any major project is going to face sooner or later, and especially a project that’s almost entirely relying on volunteer work. It’s a problem of bitrot, of different focus, of energy deficit. And it is a very hard problem to solve.

While most quasiparticles with fractional charges are attributable to composite fermions,
certain fractions with odd numerators, like the 5/2 and 7/2 states,
may involve stranger quasiparticles called non-abelian anyons.
Wind two of these around each other, and their states change, keeping a record of this winding.
If these anyons could be isolated and “braided,”
a controlled operation to wind their paths,
they could form the ideal quantum bits needed fo…
