ZEN: Confirmed. [Oppressive noise. The crew all sink to their knees, hands over ears.]
ZEN: Information. Ship's velocity now in excess of design limitations. Force wall collapse imminent. [Distortion effect. Dayna, Vila, Cally unconcious. Avon struggles towards the seating. Tarrant rouses and crawls towards Avon. Avon removes spacesuit from storage compartment, starts to pull it on.]

I hate when I decide to pull an all nighter, I feel like I have infinite extra time and suddenly “oh shit I have to leave in two hours why is this so short”

Civilians butchered, babies left to die, aid workers and journalists deliberately targeted by Israel:
KEIR STARMER - This all seems fine to me. Carry on!
Pop group says something about genocide:
KEIR STARMER - This is an outrage! Ban them! Pull all their gigs! They're TERRORISTS!

I got this bug report on Friday.
"According to POSIX, the time.h header must declare pid_t as declared in sys/types.h."
This morning, CI is finally happy with the patch series:
19 patches. 21 files changed, 1964 insertions( ), 993 deletions(-)
And I got to learn all about the 'getdate' function. Sometimes I feel like bringing light to the darker corners of the POSIX spec may not always be the wisest path.

time.h header fixes, strptime bug fixes and getdate/getdate_r implementation by keith-packard · Pull Request #1079 · picolibc/picolibc
Reviewing the time.h header uncovered some missing declarations, a couple of unimplemented functions and bugs in the existing strptime implementation. Closes: #1078

PSA: attrs 25.4 will change how it handles class-level kw_only to conform with dataclass transform rules (IOW act like type-checkers ex Mypy expect).
We found 0 cases in the wild where this would break anything so it’s on for NG APIs. Now is the time to stop us. 🤓

Not One to Rule Them All: Mining Meaningful Code Review Orders From GitHub
Developers use tools such as GitHub pull requests to review code, discuss proposed changes, and request modifications. While changed files are commonly presented in alphabetical order, this does not necessarily coincide with the reviewer's preferred navigation sequence. This study investigates the different navigation orders developers follow while commenting on changes submitted in pull requests. We mined code review comments from 23,241 pull requests in 100 popular Java and Python repositorie…

While I'm reworking my backups, just wondering about how I shall do backups for my laptops.
In the past I was using pull backups so this was tricky; if the laptop wasn't reachable from the backup host it just skipped the daily backup. Could also result in partial backups if the laptop went away in the middle.
On the whole I consider laptops at constant risk of total loss and keep all important data on a fileserver, with syncs from/to local copies.(git or syncthing)

The #UniversityOfGeorgia fall semester started yesterday (yes, we know, it's VERY early), and that means it's time to swap out the works on view in our study gallery. This fall, we're working with professors in art history, history (museum studies) and women's studies to pull works from the collection that their classes can use all semester long: Goya, Ronnie Goodman, a 19t…

Okay, Spinrite wont boot off of my JetKVM and won't boot off of a thumb drive. I think that it is safe to say that I need to pull all of the drives out of my home server and plug them into a donor computer. From there, I should be able to scan and ideally repair them, but I also hopped on eBay to try to find a replacement hard drive of the same type and size.

I can finally say I've had a small piece of the web that's all mine for a **decade** as of today 🥳
It's a little indulgent, but I decided to mark the occasion by piecing together a rough timeline for my personal site. It ended up being quite the fun thread to pull on 😁

ChangePrism: Visualizing the Essence of Code Changes
Understanding the changes made by developers when they submit a pull request and/or perform a commit on a repository is a crucial activity in software maintenance and evolution. The common way to review changes relies on examining code diffs, where textual differences between two file versions are highlighted in red and green to indicate additions and deletions of lines. This can be cumbersome for developers, making it difficult to obtain a comprehensive overview of all changes in a commit. Mor…

Generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process for affine stochastic functional differential equations and its applications
This paper studies the existence and global stability of generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process for affine stochastic functional differential equations. Various very basic and important properties are established. In the applications, we present a standard and rigorous procedure for guaranteeing the existence and uniqueness of random equilibria for nonlinear stochastic functional differential equations, which attracts all pull-back trajectories in different types of convergence. Some examples a…

I've drafted support for verification of #PyPI provenance for #Gentoo.
You know, the new fancy thing that protects against supply chain attacks on PyPI, and verifies that you're using genuine #GitHub artifacts. Because, you know, GitHub repositories and deployment pipelines are an unlikely attack vector. And you definitely don't need to worry about #Microsoft owning the keys, the repositories and the pipelines at all.
#security #Python #SigStore

A while ago, I've followed the example given by #Fedora and unbundled ensurepip wheels from #Python in #Gentoo (just checked — "a while ago" was 3 years ago). This had the important advantage that it enabled us to update these wheels along with the actual pip and setuptools packages, meaning new virtual environments would get fresh versions rather than whatever CPython happened to bundle at the time of release.
I had considered using our system packages to prepare these wheels, but since we were already unbundling dependencies back then, that couldn't work. So I just went with fetching upstream wheels from PyPI. Why not build them from source instead? Well, besides feeling unnecessary (it's not like the PyPI wheels are actually binary packages), we probably didn't have the right kind of eclass support for that at the time.
Inspired by @…, today I've tried preparing new revisions of ensurepip packages that actually do build everything from source. So what changed, and why should building from source matter now? Firstly, as part of the wheel reuse patches, we do have a reasonably clean architecture to grab the wheels created as part of the PEP517 build. Secondly, since we're unbundling dependencies from pip and setuptools, we're effectively testing different packages than these installed as ensurepip wheels — and so it would be meaningful to test both variants. Thirdly, building from source is going to make patching easier, and at the very least enable user patching.
While at it, I've refreshed the test suite runs in all three regular packages (pip, setuptools and wheel — we need an "ensurepip" wheel for the last because of test suites). And of course, I hit some test failures in testing the versions with bundled dependencies, and I've discovered a random bug in #PyPy.
