it's a matter of budget and political will. Spain simply cannot afford all these train lines, and the system fails. But hey, we have high speed train between Villacojón del Caudillo and Cagalera de la Reina, because they happen to be aligned to the center of the country (Madrit). These railways make no economical sense, they were built for political reasons, to support a "radial" concept of the country that does not really exist yet.

Meanwhile no high speed rail between València and Barcelona, because that would somehow erode the power of the central elites.

this "open weights" stuff is tantamount to shareware in the olden times... i hope it will soon be replaced by proper free software, where the actual training base is also given

somehow this is far more concerning...

Does it mean that it's only viable to use the zig programming language if you can have "their team" on speed dial?

> Building Ghostty from source is not recommended for most users.

Why is that? It reminds me of the XFree86 times when building from source was some unstable, fancy thing that was severely frowned upon.

I understand the mechanism. I wanted to know the reasons for this choice.

Why choose to break user boundaries? Why can't docker images be files in the possession of each user?

Why doesn't docker respect unix filesystem permissions? I use docker on a shared server, i can delete docker images of other users. This is bonkers.

Is it a defect of a particular docker setup (following standard instructions on ubuntu), or it's an intrinsic feature of docker itself?

> What window managers is everyone running? I’m thinking i3 or dwm

everyone is running different managers... I use evilwm on linux and cwm on openbsd. They are very similar (keyboard-driven, floating windows with no frames) with different default keybindings.

    # Debian/Ubuntu
    $ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
But this is equivalent to syspatch && pkg_add -u , this does not upgrade the computer from one version of the OS to the next.

> I am not on board with the graphic, whatever the heck it is.

They are purposefully iconoclast with whatever aesthetics are "socially acceptable" for mainstream nerds. For example, their use of comic-sans in official presentations. Here they use ridiculous slop in front of an audience of conservative unix hackers. You can find it funny with the right mindset.

The upgrade mechanism from 7.9 to 8.0 is still gloriously simple, and exactly the same as it has been for many years :

    ssh myopenbsdbox    # log-in to your machine
    doas sysupgrade     # will log you out, go drink some coffee
    ssh myopenbsdbox    # log-in to the upgraded machine

    doas sysmerge       # (optional) solve merge conflicts of your cfg files
    doas pkg_add -u     # (optional) upgrade local packages

Are you talking about your phone here?

but i don't understand... isn't Wiles's proof and its numerous rewritings already in the training set?
