One I know of is the EU-funded LUMI supercomputer: https://www.lumi-supercomputer.eu/lumis-full-system-architec...

"The AMD MI250X GPU is in a class of its own now and for a long time to come. The technical supremacy and performance per watt were the primary reasons why AMD’s MI250X GPUs were selected for LUMI, explains Pekka Manninen, Director of LUMI Leadership Computing Facility."


Also see Olkiluoto 3 in Finland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olkiluoto_Nuclear_Power_Plant#...

"The main contractor, Areva, is building the unit for a fixed price of €3 billion, so in principle, any construction costs above that price fall on Areva. In July 2012, those overruns were estimated at more than €2 billion, and in December 2012, Areva estimated that the full cost of building the reactor would be about €8.5 billion, well over the previous estimate of €6.4 billion."


Here's an issue with AppImages: they don't work with musl. Makes me sad.


I mean, targetting musl means pretty much using a different operating system than GNU/Linux. The ELF linking semantics pretty much enforce that you're using the same libc implementation for your whole program.

That's like complaining that, say, a program built against cygwin on windows, can't work on a system without the cygwin dll (and all its dependencies also compiled against the cygwin dll).


Not a terminal, but might be of interest: https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses


Much appreciated. Thanks!

If this is what the other person expects out of a relationship it's time to jump ship ASAP.


And SSH and IRC.


I can't even hear the difference between 128 and 320 :|


I read somewhere that younger people (I guess Millenials that grew up with Napster) might prefer 128kbps to lossless in blind audio tests because it sound better to them — artifacts and all — as it's what they are used to.

Anyone has the source for this?


How have I not heard of this? Thanks for the pointer. I went a-googling and found Richard Bartle's paper. [0]

Extra Credits did two videos on it as well, referring to it as Bartle's Taxonomy

intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxpW2ltDNow how a mixed ecosystem impacts things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1drDuaQXm_U


I was going to say that Bartle's taxonomy maps pretty closely to those, but it has a little more depth:

> has exposed the incompetence of empty populism.

I'd say it has exposed incompetence in general.


I saw this joke in a thread somewhere:

Junior engineer: thinks they know everything

Intermediate engineer: thinks they know nothing

Senior engineer: hates computers
