For the first time in a few weeks, Cuirass managed to evaluate and build every derivation added yesterday: https://ci.guix.gnu.org/metrics.

Because nothing says “we’re trying to screw you” than denying you the opportunity to take legal advice.

QT Morrison: “If you get a lawyer we’re pulling the offer” has been replaced by many esports teams with “you have one hour to sign this or it’s gone.”

Arbitrary deadlines and pressure are usually proof you’re being taken advantage of. Demand time for proper legal review with your lawyer.

@brennen At this point I have to confess that I have a liking to occasionally do some informal stress testing of my tools.

Filesystems that can hold a billion files, even if empty, are an achievement for Linux already.

What is the fastest way to delete a billion files? It used to be that find was faster than rm, is that still true?

Is ext4 or btrfs faster?

That kind of thing.

A one terabyte disk image with ext4 and a billion empty files, xzipped: 11 gigabytes.

Same but with btrfs: 4 gigabytes.

In case you were wondering.

http://git.liw.fi/billion-files/ has the scripts I used. I don't have a good way to distribute the images, at this time.

Needless to say, I wasn't expecting a naked elf, utterly lost in my backyard. I gave him a towel and some directions; and now I have a fae boon I'm hesitant to utilize.

I'm hand-curating the GPT-3 generated #Botober prompts because many of the neural net's drawing prompts are terrible for one reason or another.
Here are some of the prompts that were unfairly difficult.
