The fact that a “contact” is just a room with me and my peer and renaming my contact changes the room name for both of us tells me the UX is an utter failure. How can this be acceptable?

I am hyped for the improved gyro controller. Gyro aiming is so good that after some time it became way better than my mouse aiming.


> My preferred solution is to let client only write new backups, never delete.

I wish for syncoid to add this feature. I want it to only copy snapshots to the backup server. The server then deletes old snapshots. At the moment it requires delete permissions.


You can do this by using a dedicated syncoid user and ZFS delegated permissions: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/man/master/8/zfs-allo...

You'll need to add the --no-elevate-permissions flag to your syncoid job.


The nix cache exists for a reason.


How is ‘persist’ realised with cron? What about ‘randomized delay’?


I'm not sure what 'persist' means here but at least some cron implementations have support for randomization in times or time intervals.


    the time when the service unit was last triggered is stored on disk. When the timer is activated, the service unit is triggered immediately if it would have been triggered at least once during the time when the timer was inactive. Such triggering is nonetheless subject to the delay imposed by RandomizedDelaySec=. This is useful to catch up on missed runs of the service when the system was powered down.


nix and direnv might be worth a look.


my first thought too. on a mac at least it’s a little crusty, but it really does make it convenient to have a project completely and accurately describe its environment.


You may be interested in the book Gaussian Processes for Machine Learning: http://gaussianprocess.org/gpml/ (freely available)


I had Chapter 6 open while working on this post :) I should probably cite it too. As far as I could see that book doesn't talk about kernels arising from gradient descent, but it does say many other things about GP kernels. Certainly it has the main things I used.

It's amusing how facts that look surprising and mysterious to the rest of the world are just table stakes at the right sort of math department. As a researcher I feel the pressure to make things that are "my own", but there's so much that already exists just waiting to be grokked and plugged in!


Feels the same in linear algebra where you may be thinking you're building new stuff (e.g. specific trick to fit your specific kind of complex covariance toeplitz matrix parallel and vectorized batch-inversion problem with very little fast shared memory) but it turns out all the parts are already explored in ahard-to-parse textbooks somewhere).


Not exactly, but PureNix
