I don't know about the other two, never needed them.

  > Tange, O. (2023, July 22). GNU Parallel 20230722 ('Приго́жин').

Looks like the latest release is named after Prigozhin. Yeah, probably that one, although I couldn't find anything in the mailing list to confirm it.

edit: all releases are named after current political events:

I wanted to say 'not anymore', but it turns out that some distributions remove that message.

Debian too (thanks to iib for pointing this out)

And looks like the author is aware of both:

Now I wonder if that's the reason we ended up with 7-inch smartphone displays.

Same domain doesn't always mean your information won't get leaked to wherever. For example, Sentry supports sending data through a proxy hosted on the same domain used by the website. If you don't block it, your data ends up on sentry.io anyway (in most cases; some users probably self-host their own Sentry instance, but how many? It's quite painful from my personal experience.)

tl;dr: there are some contributions, mostly not to RHEL but to the surrounding ecosystem (including RHEL's upstream), so it apparently doesn't count.

Half of gitea's contributors are from Europe. Wait until you learn how much "Chinese" code is in the Linux kernel these days.

This anti-Chinese hysteria is hilarious to watch from the sidelines, honestly. A few months ago there was a comment on HN by some American whose company was rewriting their frontend when they learned that antd (a React component toolkit) was developed by a Chinese company.

The court documents on that case are publicly available if you're willing to look for them (and can read Russian). I haven't read everything, but I didn't see anything contradicting his side of the story.

Senseair S8 paired with ESP-32 has served me well over the past 3 years, but they have to be exposed to outside air at least once a week or so. Otherwise they quickly lose their zero point and start reporting thousands of PPM as mere hundreds.

I think other models with auto-recalibration also suffer from this (including MH-Z19). It's probably not a problem for you, but if you too live in an extremely polluted area and have to keep your windows shut for weeks at a time, it might be.

Maybe in Norway or Canada or other 'rich' countries.

Most people have no place to park their cars, they just leave them wherever in the open (since most live in apartments and there are few garages available).

Those who have enough money to afford an alarm system and pay the increased gasoline bill (because it adds about an hour of idling your engine each day) rarely revert to such measures, but many do. I see them every morning when temperature drops below -30°C or so.

Yeah, I probably should have looked in the dictionary before posting that.

It's pretty dangerous, burns down quite a few cars each year, but people don't care or have no other options. I think during the last couple of years there were two fires near my house alone.

People around here put warm non-flammable fabric in front of radiators and cover their engines in winter because it significantly improves gas mileage and doesn't push the engine into overheating — the air is cold enough (-30°C and below) that it's not an issue.

Those can be warmed up with a g̶a̶s̶o̶l̶i̶n̶e blowtorch. Or you can fit your car with an alarm system that auto starts the engine throughout the night to keep it warm. That's what pretty much everyone is doing where I'm from (-25°C is a pretty typical winter temperature here, with drops down to -40-45°C for a couple weeks each winter).

After that you get tolerable gas mileage. I don't drive much, but from my friends' description it sounds like you get around 30-40% more gas usage compared to warmer months.

Coming from a completely different culture where the word 'engineer' still means something, I find this quite funny. If your 'engineers' just smash keys together until it seems to work somehow (which includes never bothering to learn the full potential of DVCS — one of our most important tools), they're not really engineers IMHO. Real ones know their tools (I don't pretend to be one and never call myself that).

I use it frequently to calculate some basic statistics on log file data.

Here's a nice example of something similar: https://drewdevault.com/dynlib

An ad replaces the "screen saver" when you unlock the device (until you swipe it away), and there's a small banner at the bottom of the book list in the main menu. You probably bought a more expensive version with no ads. They can also be removed later for a small fee, or you can simply never enable wi-fi and there will be no ads at all.

They're only on the lock screen, never when you're actually reading. I've had the same ad for years (because I use the device with Wi-Fi off) and have no idea what's on it since I never paid any attention.

While I mostly agree with that sentiment, please go look at Russian history. The past 20 years were probably the longest stretch of time when the Russian society was able to live a relatively decent life (by ex-USSR standards, however terrible it is by Western ones) for the past few centuries.

That's (I think) is why almost nobody was willing to 'rock the boat', as the Kremlin Führer says. Now everything is going down the toilet and most of the society haven't yet realized whet they're up for.

It's easy to criticize others when the worst thing your country has seen is the civil war 300 years ago. Russia went through 3 arguably even more serious events in the past century only. Nobody wanted to risk the little peaceful life they had, and still everything went down the drain.
