I also just added these to Julia for 1.14 (https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/60311).

You'd think so, but Julia has been around a while now. Julia was one of the first non-python languages added back when it was still called ipython. I remember sitting in a room at the CfA with Fernando Perez and Steven Johnson and hacking up then original integration. Don't remember exactly when that was but more than a decade ago.

I only met him twice, so I don't have much to say, but let me share Alan's message instead, since he knew him well: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/cleve-moler-rip/137235.

It always amuses me when people assume that the nefarious scheme is taking open source contributions and selling them. That's not the nefarious scheme. The nefarious scheme is going to partners, funding agencies and investors and saying "look at this unique capability / important research / profitable business opportunity that we can do together, but oops, all of our code is written in Julia, so I guess we better pay some people to maintain it so it'll all come crashing down, wouldn't want that to happen".

Also, I'm of course using nefarious in jest here in both cases. While we don't directly try to monetize our open source work, I respect that sometimes people need to do that. As long as people are transparent about it, I don't have a problem. Doing the thing we're doing seems to work, but it's a lot harder, because you have to build a successful pice of software and a (or multiple) successful something elses that has a critical dependency on it. It's like hitting the lottery twice.

It's tragic to see these hardware vendors repeat mistakes of the past by forcing UEFI on platforms that do not need it.

While we have you here, could you fix the bash escaping bug? https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/10153

I'm still surprised I was the first one to notice when Linus tried to change this - I always thought it was a pretty well known behavior.

I'll submit my bit flip story for consideration also :) https://julialang.org/blog/2020/09/rr-memory-magic/

Congratulations to the Oxide team! It's a tough market out there :)! I'm still personally frustrated that I don't get to play with the hardware (too expensive for our internal server needs; not the right fit for our datacenter partners/customers), but I'm excited to see that they're successful and hopefully they'll come around to my use case eventually :). In the meantime, I appreciate that they're building largely in the open - every once in a while I'll glance at their issue tracker for light bedtime reading. Just recently we had some fun internally throwing our controls software at their thermal loop as a usage example - it's often hard to find compelling real-world systems to use as openly sharable examples (of course we have interesting customer problems, but that's all NDA'd), so having companies build real stuff in the open is fantastic. Great company, wish them the best.

> Do they have "leggo my eggo" itself trademarked?

As a matter of fact, they do:

https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=77021301&caseType=SERIAL_...

The full complaint linked above has a full list of trademarks. There's also a claim for trade dress infringement, since the food truck uses the same font and red-yellow-white color scheme.

You're supposed to generate a random one, but the only consequence of not doing so is that you won't be able to register your package if someone else already took the UUID (which is a pain if you have registered versions in a private registry). That said, "vanity" UUIDs are a bad look, so we'd probably reject them if someone tried that today, but there isn't any actual issue with them.
