@corbet @jani No, they don't. But there are some magic files which they do always read, like AGENTS.md on the repository root, so if you symlink that file to Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst (and whatever they're using follows symlinks), it should make things a bit better. (Each agent software seems to have their own magic file names, but AGENTS.md seems to be a common one.)

@eniko A coworker managed to lose the key to his office drawer inside the drawer itself (I don't remember how), so I tried to pick it and succeeded (it was a fluke, I never managed to do it again even though it's a very low quality lock).

That time the card reader on the office maglock malfunctioned and the backup control was inside the office was more interesting. I had to cut a wire to get in (I chose a red one for tradition), don't know if it counts as picking a lock or not.

@nazokiyoubinbou @FifiSch @grote Installing a new OS on your daily driver phone means wiping it (because unlocking the bootloader wipes the data partition as a security measure). Other than "adb backup" (which is deprecated and does not work for all apps), you can't do a full backup of all the data on the phone before wiping; you have to hope all the apps you use synchronized their data to a server.

And there's the risk (perceived or real) of bricking the phone.

@ObsidianUrbex For some reason, the first picture reminds me a lot of the deeper levels of the classic Portal 2 videogame. It feels as if these floor plates mark places which will be covered by one of the gels which are introduced in these levels.
@vitu @xinayder @alebecker @Sunraku Acho que rola um viés da turma que, como eu, usa Linux desde que era criança ou adolescente. Para gente como nós, mesmo coisas tipo um soft de design de circuito integrado teria grande "probabilidade de uso e atratividade" e "facilidade de acesso e utilização" por crianças e adolescentes. Somente o item III salva alguns produtos, mas seria fácil alegar que por exemplo um SO com funcionalidade de rede permite "compartilhamento de informações em larga escala".

How do I know this?

I was the project lead, although the best parts of it were written by my smarter collaborator Michael O’Brien (eventually SVP of R&D at Technicolor).

This story is *not* the 32 to 64 bit transition.

This is just us trying to get another GB of address space, where we leveraged the ongoing Linux port work w/alot of our own.

Now that I think about it, all the impactful work I’ve done in my career happened in 32 bits of address space.

4GB always seemed like a lot to me.

During production of Finding Nemo, we started using Linux boxes in addition to SGIs.
Why?

3D painting software we wrote for laying out coral was written in C++ using templates, and the debug info was too large for IRIX, but was debuggable on Linux.

Was this a 32 bit vs. 64 bit issue?

No.

IRIX reserved half the address space for the kernel, while Linux only did a quarter.

So on Linux, we had 3GB, and the symbols fit.

It was a 32 bit show, both machines had 4GB max.

Plenty for Finding Nemo.

@lina @wombatpandaa Here in Brazil income tax filing starts Monday next week, with the deadline being the last weekday of May.

It's wild how different the tax filing schedules can be between countries, yours has already ended, while ours hasn't even began...
