@djc It was talked about in the April meeting of the Rust foundation https://foundation.rust-lang.org/static/minutes/2024-04-09-minutes.pdf

Though the June meeting minutes are probably a month or so away. So that podcast is probably more recent information.

@GnomedDev @hailey Well I just don't think it has been the point that needed optimizations, also from the new man page that landed with this release it sounds like there have been some architechture specific optimizations for a long time. But that it is only recently there have been some focus (read: probably only one developer) who have had time to implement SIMD optimizations for string ops.

That said it is probably a question of developer time and funding more than anything else.

Anybody feel like playing ADVENTURE on an Four Phase IV/90 computer ?

A visitor to datamuseum.dk donated a ½" tape today:

@bsdphk Is the ghosting something that is part of that graphic or a artifact of how the screen works?

@yosh Ever been to the Tram museum just outside of Roskilde? They still have quite a few of the old trams. https://www.sporvejsmuseet.dk/spm/site/spm/spm.php

It is a bit fun that the three Danish cities that used to have trams: Copenhagen Odense and Aarhus now all are getting light rail. Though the one in Copenhagen does not really go through the center https://www.dinletbane.dk/media/xbkag3re/linjeforingskort_juli2023_highres_v2.jpg

@yosh In areas where there have been the virus such as where I live there have been a couple of times where it has been forbidden to have poultry under open sky which we usually have. We don't have a well ventilated room because it is limited how much they spend there awake.

There was a culling like 15ish kilometers away from where I live not long ago but they did not make it forbidden to habe the poultry outdoors this time.

In my mind it is just in great contrast to Covid19 since with that it was no issue just being outside out on the countryside where I live.

@yosh That is far from enough, maybe it k's good enough for humans, but it is much more common in birds and poultry. For them you more need to isolate them from wild birds and take precautions when going to them. No one wants to have all their birds killed.

I think for humans it is more important to keep away and try not to handle birds especially dead or ill birds. Since that is still the main way it infects humans, the confirmed human to human transmission is still very limited to my knowledge so the precautions you list may not be of the biggest help against specifically h5n1.

I gave a talk about state actors attacking FOSS, ten years ago, on FOSSDEM:

@fasterthanlime What happens if you put on the feature that disables that kind of log statements?

This is, hands down, the most useless piece of FOSS I have ever released.

It preserves the unique Rational R1000/s400 computer and it's Rational Environment in software for future generations:

@yosh You can use Standard Gauge all the way from Copenhagen <-> Barcelona since the AVE uses it and they have a service Barcelona <-> Lyon.

Currently you will have to change 3 times, eg. in Hamburg, Karlsruhe and Paris

@yosh There is a larger issue that the wagons have to be certified in each country and the same with the driver and rest of the personal of the train.

The Vectron (Litra EB) trains used by DSB can do both the Danish and the German electricity which they use when they run to Germany (they are currently pulling/pushing the IC1 trains from Copenhagen to Hamburg)

I can finally reveal some research I've been involved with over the past year or so.

We (@redford, @mrtick and I) have reverse engineered the PLC code of NEWAG Impuls EMUs. These trains were locking up for arbitrary reasons after being serviced at third-party workshops. The manufacturer argued that this was because of malpractice by these workshops, and that they should be serviced by them instead of third parti
es.

@jer I used that for quite a while sometime last year and things like Discord would just fail in odd ways which was rather annoying.
