Yeah, you'd think so. But I don't know if the kernel community would care much about 'science reasons', and also I thought the process document about assistant tools was talking a lot about maintainers time, but now that I review it I seem to have misremembered.

Quite confused now 🤷
Linux kernel policy requires that. Allows reviewers to go in with an understanding that the quality might not be great, I think?
At the same time, Linux kernel also requires that you understand the patch you send. So I'm also not quite sure why that policy exists.
I think they did? What they're saying is that you can't share across containers and that you therefore they made a synchronisation protocol to sync to a single pod which does the LMDB access.
That sounds reasonable?
And while they're at it they're also driving up prices of RAM so you can't do normal computing anymore even if you wanted to.
South Africa is 2nd (or third, matches too) in your list.
No DST is awesome!

I saw a reality TV show on Belgian television a while ago about the construction and eventual opening of a luxury hotel.
Shortly before paying guests would arrive, they did a dress rehearsal with hotel and construction staff staying in the rooms.
At 7am sharp, everyone in every room was to put on the shower, wait 2 minutes, and check the temperature.
Was a major issue that the temperature wasn't what it was supposed to be.
Pretty sure there's a formula, yes
OMG, I'm so glad FOSDEM never fell into the trap of doing corporate booths...
Yes, the #EU has a lot of regulations.
But remember that thanks to those regulations you can use a single USB-C cable that can charge anything, rather than 10 different connectors and adapters as it was common until 10-15 years ago.
Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if you no longer have to pay eye watering roaming fees for calls and data when you travel to other EU countries, as it was common until 5-10 years ago.
Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if big tech has at least some constraints onto what it can do with your data and how much choice you have as a customer.
Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if you, as a EU citizen, can benefit from the services of any other embassy of any other EU country if stranded abroad.
Those who try to depict the EU as a bureaucratic hell worth dismantling are those who hate the impact that its laws have on their freedom of exploiting markets, exploiting customers or living out of rent money.
Or those who hate the combined economic and political power of a united Europe with a single market because it threatens their national interests, and they’d rather exert their leverage with a bunch of divided and weaker countries instead.
Europe isn’t perfect and a lot can be improved. But those who call for its demise DO NOT talk in your interests.
Last year, we brought together #CCC, #COSCUP, #eventinfra, #FOSDEM, #FOSS4All Korea, #FOSSASIA, #FOSSNorth, #IndiaFOSS and I am certainly forgetting several.
If in doubt, poke me if you'd fit.
And please help us: like a conference? Make their organizers aware of this.
And, as always, #retoot appreciated!
With my #FOSDEM, #ConfConf, and many other hats on:
We will be organizing another https://ConfConf.org ! An (un)conference about organizing conferences.
6th and 7th of June in #Sofia, #Bulgaria
Same as last year, we will be focusing on #OpenSource and #Community conferences. We will either remain invite -only or closely review all registrations to make sure it's community people.

Just skimmed through it.
I would have loved a book like that growing up. As it is, some of the stuff covered in it I only learned about when going to college, years later.
I would have been of the right age to get this book! Alas, it doesn't seem to be available in Dutch though. Plus, I only got my first computer (a C-128 hand me down) in the mid 90s... 🤷
Remember though that kids also need exposure to pathogens in order for them to build a healthy immune system that has been exposed to them and therefore knows how to fight them.
Masking all the time makes that difficult.

Even if there isn't that big conspiracy, the technology has the potential to make the happen anyway
You can generate 'good enough' code using AI tools that can get you 95% of the way there. Why would you use open source if you can build stuff that way for ~free? And if you don't use open source, why would you support it?

Is a video recording foreseen? I would love to see the talk, but Southern California is a bit too far from my bed 😉

I didn't mean to offend, but "sqlite can't be as fast as LMDB because of its design choices" is the statement *I* was trying (but perhaps failing) to make.
That doesn't make those design choices invalid -- in most cases I prefer SQL for ease of debugging -- but if performance *really* matters, LMDB is really the only option.
That doesn't mean 'everything else is slow', just that LMDB is faster
@hyc @Archivist
You mean like https://www.sqlitetutorial.net/sqlite-blob/, correct?
Your SQL engine would still be involved, and needs to do string parsing just to understand what it is you want to store in binary. Yes it's faster than converting to base64 and back, but not as fast as a memcpy ala LMDB.
I said "*really*" for a reason 😉
@hyc @Archivist
To be completely fair, SQL requires you to convert to and from string representation the whole time. If performance *really* matters, anything SQL-based is a mistake
@Archivist
😂🤣
Nothing, it's probably not a very common name in the English speaking world ('Walter' would be the English cognate), but then I was born and raised in an area where you only get to learn that language when you turn 14.
