I have to say that I really like Julia. Always have a terminal with REPL open for calculation and computation :-) In production I could imagine it being used exactly for the computational model and interfacing that with C/Rust/Java shim.

I just needed a calculator and it really is the answer to my needs. It has pretty cool Jupyter Notebook style model called shared environments that seems to work for my brains.

In the niches where Julia could deliver it is not really even the case that C would be the king but more like people are still using Fortran, Matlab and similar relics.

Two years ago, Joe Biden said the COVID pandemic was over. Since then, 200,000 people have died from COVID. Many more are suffering from Long COVID.

Wear masks.

Not only my gym went to bankruptcy but German Post office lost my letter, which contained signed contract for my employer. I used priority mail that cost me almost 30 EUR to send.

It really feels like Monday 🤷 Oh well, I'll just redo my contract, scan the pages and blah blah blah...

I'm glad that I installed while ago pull-up bar (not sure if that is the correct English translation) to my home so I did some pull ups, presses etc at home.

I'm glad that I had only monthly membership to the gym that went to bankruptcy, so I lost only 40 euros.

Now I need to find a new gym from Tampere :-)

This shit can't be real: my gym had went to bankruptcy! I was wondering why key does not open the door. 50000 EUR of unpaid rents was the reason as I googled.

So was a short training. I guess I need to get a new gym membership.

I got already boot time back down to 8.7s which is only 1.7s more given the encryption overhead but I think we can do better:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/D4DICMSZJXCG.8X4SU03FPJ4X@kernel.org/

I noticed a lot of round trips to TPM with small requests of random data by hwrng.

So next thing I'm gonna do to improve performance is to create a fixed size chip pool for random and fill that and serve most of random data requests by fetching from internal pool.

This could have a small effect on improving the boot time but further this should factor out radically the amount of wait states caused by TPM after the boot while system is running :-)

Uh oh, now I really need to get off to the gym! Got stuck in LKML.

If Intel goes down, are there any other players than TSMC and Samsung doing semiconductors? That could have even geopolitical impact given their neighboring countries, close proximity of all manufacturing in the world etc.

IMHO that is pretty worrying situation, more even so than possibility of Intel going down.

Like for instance consider this. A single nuke could destroy the whole in the world within minutes with that physical topology.

I don’t get this Sudoku. How do I detach that display? The replacement is on left but there is like no attachment points in it.

Thorsten Leemhuis (acct. 1/4)

, which allows scheduling policies to be implemented as programs, has been merged for 6.12:

https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/88264981f2082248e892a706b2c5004650faac54

See https://lwn.net/Articles/922405/ for a description of what it does and https://lwn.net/Articles/972710/ for the controversy it caused that is the reason why it took so long to land in mainline.

I wonder if there is a typst template for label writers such as Dymo LabelWriter 450, which I own. I use gLabels ATM but do not see any point in WYSIWYG and an address label.

This performance regression fix is as done as it can be:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/20240921120811.1264985-1-jarkko@kernel.org/

As soon as it gets tags I'll put out a pull request. Not having the fixes can double the boot time at least on some AMD desktop CPU's if TPM bus encryption is turned on.

Without fix: 7s -> 20s
WIth the fix: 20s -> 8.7s

So pretty reasonable number, encryption cannot be done without any overhead. Patches fixup unnecessary encryption context throttling.

Hopefully next week when the cons are over there will be some feedback.

I got couple of days ago both email that my talk Linux Plumbers was both accepted and also that it was rejected 🤷 I guess there was something wrong with the mailer?

It would be nice to get infos a bit earlier and not in superposition state ;-)

Julia is pretty cool language IMHO for doing workbook type of stuff like you would with Jupyter and all this "scientific Python" type of stuff. There's excellent support in the REPL cli for persistence with shared environments and projects. I think I replace bc and Python with Julia for being my main calculator app.
