How about everyone chip in so that Rocky/Alma can get a subscription to RHEL and get the source that way? The GPL does not say they have to publish the code in the wild just that they have to provide it when they distribute. There are many companies that use OSS, make modifications, and since they never distribute are not required to make that source available.


We could make a big list of people that are ready to buy a subscription. Everytime RHEL has an update:

* A subscription is purchased * Download all the source rpm's. * Put them on the internet * RH terminates the license and the purchaser is put on a list * goto next person on list and repeat.

A few thousand people would keep this going.


Are non destructive layers a thing yet?


https://www.gimp.org/docs/userfaq.html#when-will-gimp-suppor...

"Currently the plan is to introduce non-destructive editing in GIMP 3.2. This is a huge change that will require rethinking the workflow and parts of the user interface."

Do you know if CAR-T or CRISPR technology goes into the brain?


There are clinical trials on Glioblastoma CAR-T treatment but it faces the same problems as any other solid tumor - namely the solid tumor microenvironment is not amenable to the current generation of CAR-T treatments

In addition one of the dreaded side effects of CAR-T is neurotoxicity. CAR-T can cross the blood-brain barrier and leads to inflammation in the brain. You can treat it pretty quick with steroids but this side effect along with several other pro-inflammatory ones is the reason for the 30 day hospitalization sp treatment.


I seen what inflammation in the brain causes, not pretty.


Not CAR-T or CRISPR AFAIK, but there's been some recent breakthroughs with getting treatments past the blood brain barrier, and promising glioblastoma treatments are in the pipeline as well. This is just what I've seen on the internet news, you'd find more than I know about it with some internet searches.

I hope you aren't affected by GBM. If you are, or someone you know is, my only advice is to live life to the fullest while you can and don't let yourself fall into denial of the prognosis.


Not me but my wife. Will just put this out there for anyone else, the advancements made in Cancer treatment in the past few years are impressive. Don't lose hope.

Also, listen to your doctors as all of the sudden everyone is oncologist. Listen to your doctors, seek second opinions, do research but question everything as there is a lot of snake oil for sale.


I'm so sorry. My mom was diagnosed a few years ago and she got preyed on by snake oil salesmen to the tune of 6 digits. The money doesn't matter to me, but people are really fucked up.

I can recommend Duke's neuro-oncology center though. They did a great job with her when Sloan Kettering wouldn't touch her.

Best of luck to the both of you and hang in there.


I stepped away for a few months to sort it out. Did not like where I worked and love where I am now. Same line of work different company.


I trust Rossmann, He will give Apple (or any company) credit when they do something right. Apple lost my trust years ago.


I have AT&T fiber right now (500 plan) and Google has become available in the past couple months. AT&T has been great but if my intro rate goes up next month I will switch to Google. The only thing I am not happy with AT&T is that I can't use my own modem/router combo and the options on their router are lame (can't even setup my own DNS network wide). 500mb is more than enough but if my rate goes up Google will only be $5 more for 1GB.


Did some research and Ridgid is king. Also seen that HF Bauer vacs are also a strong competitor. Do love that I can wash the filter on my Redgid and install those bags.


Harbor Freight stuff seems to be getting better and better. Of course they still sell a lot of junk, but in my experience their toolboxes, power tools, and hand tools are generally much better today than they were 10 years ago.


I'll one up this one.

Years ago I worked IT at a film lab that also did onsite digital capture. There was a photo shoot going on and I needed to go onsite to troubleshoot a computer. The onsite Tech told me the stage number and streets. I said I know where that is and drove off. The location of the studio they were shooting at was across the street from Paramount Studios in Hollywood. I pulled up to the gate and explained to the guard that there was a shoot going on and I needed to get there ASAP to fix a issue that was holding up the shoot. The guard did not question much and let me through. I parked and made my way to sound stage 2 and found the set empty (giant hanger style set). I quickly realized something was off and called the on site Tech where he told me no their location was at a studio across the street. When I finally got to my location I fixed the issue then I got to sit next to the former Miss Israel. I was surprised how easy it was for me to get onto the Paramount Set and how much potential access I would have had.


I tried porting a Python utility I wrote to Go specifically because I did not want people to have to install any 3rd party libraries (in this case just one). If anything I had a much deeper appreciation as to how much Python does for you and just lets you work. I would still like to port someday. For now I can containerize my app but that would still require people to install docker and learn how to use docker.


The easiest way to do this is to use shiv[0] if you don't mind asking people to have Python itself installed; if you want a truly "one file bundle" you should use PyInstaller[1] (which bundles a Python interpreter)

You don't need docker to bundle an app with custom libraries. You can use AppImage which is pretty much just an ordinary app install rolled into a single file.


i guess he's not using linux, otherwise python dependencies would be no problem


Docker is linux specific. It can only run in a VM on non-linux platforms.


It requires a linux subsystem, true, but not a fully fledged VM. The subsystem still shares the file system with the primary OS, for a start. And while I haven't tried it, the instructions for installing AppImage on WSL (for example) don't look trivial.


WSL is a fully fledged VM under the hood, it's just well integrated.


MS call it a "lightweight utility virtual machine", and "not a traditional VM experience", whatever that means. Docker also works on MacOS, with a basic linux distro running under hypervisor that again, I'm not sure qualifies as a 'fully fledged VM' (at least in terms of user access to it).


WSL, starting with v2, is a fully fledged virtual machine, and comes with its own built in Linux kernel. The 'lightweight' part is because resource allocation is bit more dynamic than your usual VirtalBox VM. Other than that, there is no difference.
