If it ain't fun, you're not doing it right.

So, indeed, they're not being made anymore ๐Ÿ˜‰

@suihkulokki
Not just LAPACK, it's still very popular in scientific computing overall

@jani
They're not really being made anymore though, are they?

@Lyude
Except meson is one of those 'the world is online haha if you want to build something X years old good luck finding the servers anymore' pieces of crap.

I'll have Autotools any day, kthxbye.

The newspaper headline for a week from now, and for it to turn out to be correct.

There's one of those in a mall in cape town, supposedly to scare the pigeons away.

It gives me a headache, so I stay out of the building (and don't buy anything obviously).

Pigeons fly through it constantly.

And the order of the arguments to 'ln -sf'

@caffeinatedbookdragon
That makes a lot of sense, actually

Which law?

@georgetakei
Why do you call them 'conservatives'? The word implies 'keeping things as they are', as in, 'to conserve'. That hardly seems like an accurate description for such horrible people.

Yes, I know that's what they're known as. That doesn't mean it's a good description.

@reyjrar
Video playback requires a media framework.

Modern web page rendering requires a HTML parser, a CSS parser, stuff to render all that, a Javascript engine, and a media framework to playback all the crappy video ads that all "modern" websites want to play back to you.

In what world do you need less CPU power to perform functionality A than to perform functionality B when A is a strict superset of B?

@neil
My brain misread your advanced as qualified... Guess I need to read more carefully ๐Ÿ˜‚

No, not for merely advanced, indeed.

(To sign with timestamps enabled only works in one of the three flows that libreoffice has to sign documents; you can see how that works here: https://eid.belgium.be/en/faq/how-can-i-sign-documents-libreoffice#7639)

@neil
Libreoffice desktop can sign with PKCS#11 modules and can talk to timestamp servers if you configure them, which gets you most of the way there.

Of course the hard part of qualified signatures is political rather than technical: you need some certification of the system. But hey.

@selfisekai
I have been self-hosting my email since the dawn of time. I have yet to see an email that does not get accepted or gets marked as spam. Yes there are a lot of hoops to jump through, but nothing too complicated.

@mirabilos
Why is that?

The if block is part of the context of the else block. You can't (usually) move the else block around without also moving the if block. Cuddling the else between the two brackets makes this more obvious and explicit.

Cuddling elses or not?

Damien Conway's "perl best practices" recommends not to, because it would reduce visibility of the else block.

I vehemently disagree. Having an else block start on a line by itself makes it look like an unrelated statement, when in reality it is a continuation of the if block.

By cuddling your elses, you make it more clear that the block is part of a larger set of other blocks (if/elsif/else), rather than it being a block on its own.

@cameron
The two are not related, no siree
