Headline is a bit misleading.

> Council officials are hoping a prototype nuclear fusion reactor could be built at a former power plant.

They've bid to be the site for Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP). The selection hasn't bee made yet, even if the project goes ahead.

For anyone else wondering: Cloud Native Compute Foundation https://www.cncf.io/

> a Linux Foundation project that was founded in 2015 to help advance container technology[1] and align the tech industry around its evolution.

> It was announced alongside Kubernetes 1.0, an open source container cluster manager, which was contributed to the Linux Foundation by Google as a seed technology. Founding members include Google, CoreOS, Mesosphere, Red Hat, Twitter, Huawei, Intel, Cisco, IBM, Docker, Univa, and VMware

For others wondering about KnockON

> With Knock ON you can set the phone to turn the screen on by quickly double-tapping the screen. Double-tap an empty area in the Home screen, Status Bar, or Lock screen to turn the screen off.

> the famous 'Engineers Shouldn’t Write ETL' blog post

for anyone else wondering, this appears to be Engineers Shouldn’t Write ETL: A Guide to Building a High Functioning Data Science Department, by Jeff Magnusson in 2016 https://multithreaded.stitchfix.com/blog/2016/03/16/engineer....

To head off any misunderstandings, what time period do you mean by "lately"? Past few hours? Days? Years?

In the last few weeks there was a chat app posted here (a Show HN?), that lets you retroactively create threads by selecting some existing messages. Wish I could remember the name, seems like a good feature.

I think it's a reference to Real Genius https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089886/

I'm not aware of any plans to fix the search API, but to be clear the website search still works, e.g. https://pypi.org/search/?q=foo

perhaps foundation, or base layer.

I'm typing this on a MagSafe laptop. I don't like MagSafe.

The cables fray and the MagSafe tips wear out, that means buying an entire new charger (or soldering on a donor cable), I'm on my 5th or 6th. The surfaces get dirty, and because they just butt up (rather than sliding) they become high resistance and heat up.

If MagSafe 2021 doesn't fuse the cable to the charger brick, then I might consider it. The fickle electrical connection is inherent to the design though.

Probably. I've also been in Open Source around 20 years, UK based. I don't recall hearing about Framasoft before.

I choose not to visit those sites, they're on my (mental) block list. Typically if a link goes to a US news site, or a newspaper I won't follow it. As a result I get most general interest news from https://bbc.co.uk/news

For anyone else wondering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDBaseT

> HDBaseT, promoted and advanced by the HDBaseT Alliance, is a consumer electronic (CE) and commercial connectivity standard for transmission of uncompressed high-definition video (HD), audio, power, home networking, Ethernet, USB, and some control signals, over a common category cable (Cat5e or above) using the same 8P8C modular connectors used by Ethernet.

I have a similar 2013 vintage MBP. It's on it's 5th or 6th charger, 3rd charger board, 2nd battery, and 2nd speaker

Except for MagSafe it's a solid design.

Ubuntu, because it's the most common choice, so has the most coverage/support by other people and tools.

If I'm routinely going off-road, I want to stick to relatively known trails. I'll save scaling mountains for my holiday.

For reference, in Ansible land the two approaches to this would be https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/cli/ansible-pull.htm... or https://github.com/ansible/awx (upstream project of Ansible Tower)

What is a build? Another word for an animation? Web searches just throw up guides to making a presentation.

Edit: Found it. A build is a type of animation that builds up a slide in multiple steps, e.g. revealing steps of a flow in sequence https://www.techrepublic.com/article/creating-animated-build...

I'm still not sure if Python Pickles, without the GLOBAL opcode to call into Python, are Turing complete.

Python pickle files are a sequence of op-codes that run on the pickle VM. By default the VM allows calls to arbitrary Python functions. I'm still puzzling whether Python pickles without access to Python globals (e.g. using https://docs.python.org/3/library/pickle.html#restricting-gl...) are Turing complete. I don't think so, because the pickle VM has no branching or looping, but it does have a stack and my understanding of automata theory is not great.

My research/tinkering so far is https://github.com/moreati/pickle-fuzz

"easier to understand/remember the meaning of" would have been better phrasing. I can remember/infer what `set -o noglob` does, but not `set -f`.

Instead of

    set -euf -o pipefail

please consider

    set -o errexit
    set -o nounset
    set -o noglob
    set -o pipefail

which is easier to lookup/search for if the reader is less familiar with shell scripting, and makes for cleaner diffs when a flag is removed/added.

Caveat: some of the longer forms might be Bashisms (e.g. not present in ksh, dash, etc.)
