Compiler-Based Context & Locking Analysis On Deck For Linux 7.0 Paired With Clang 22+
A new feature in the queue for likely introduction with the next version of the Linux kernel (Linux 6.20~7.0) is compiler-based context and locking analysis. This kernel code depends on the yet-to-be-released LLVM Clang 22 compiler but can provide some powerful insights to kernel developers… ⌘ Read more

Linux’s Old Mount API Code On The Chopping Block For The 7.0 Kernel
The Linux kernel’s “new mount API” that has been in the kernel since 2019 and recently made rounds for taking 6+ years to land the man page documentation on it will soon be the the only mount API internally within the kernel. Removing the “old” Linux kernel mount API internals is a candidate for the upcoming Linux 7.0 kernel cycle… ⌘ Read more

Pestana - onde se vai buscar dinheiro? Acabar com o dinheiro de financiamento a partidos. Mete Cotrim e Ventura em alvoroço, segue-se gritaria.

Último “tema aberto” para equilibrar tempos:

GM - economia nova, estado seguro (com as preocupações para o futuro), governação com estabilidade e ele faz isso porque é independente.

LMM - comunidades portuguesas é um tema fundamental e ninguém fala disso, LMM fala do problema do ensino de Português no estrangeiro. Estabilidade tem sido referido mas não aprofundado, ex. com GeM que manda abaixo governos que não compram promessas

Seguro - pacto de saúde com compromisso de todoa os partidos, igualdade de género que se resolve… não diz como mas ao menos preocupa-se com o tema

Ventura - emagrecer o estado, reforma da justiça

AFilipe - cumprir a constituição que está muito longe de ser cumprida (educação, saúde, cultura, …)

Cotrim - Cultura e Conhecimento, diz que os candidatos de esquerda vão desistir (take 137)

JPinto - regionalização, transição ecológica, defesa, cultura (e critica a proposta de Cotrim de tirar cultura da constituição)

CMartins - cuidar, cuidarmo-nos. Creches para todoa, respostas para todos, ao longo de toda a vida. Cuidar do salário, da economia, da liberdade, da justiça, imprensa, cultura, direitos das mulheres

Discos em 2025:

Quando defini que ia comprar apenas 12 discos em 2025, achava que estava a ser muito exigente. Afinal, acabei por só comprar 7 (ainda que a minha wishlist tenha crescido). O “concerto do ano” para mim foi Marilyn Manson em Lisboa, e durante o ano ouvi 386 discos da minha coleção - o que também significa que ainda não a acabei de organizar. Dos discos lançados em 2025, há menções muito especiais para dois que incluem música feita por mim: idiossINcracias vol. I, que é um disco entre o meu projecto #kokori e Floating Ashes, e 25.12, que é uma compilação onde kokori também participou com uma faixa. Três discos que comprei são de Marilyn Manson, um oficial e dois bootlegs, e o oficial (o single “In The Air Tonight”) não foi o mais interessante dos três, mas sim o “I Want To Kill You Like They Do In The Movies”, disco duplo de lados B. O IdiossINcrasias vol. 2 tem uma excelente participação de Casa Ukrania, de quem também comprei um disco. 20 anos depois do lançamento do “Clear Hearts Grey Flowers” de Jack Off Jill, foi re-editado com um lado extra ao vivo, onde se pode ouvir-me a cantar os parabéns à Jessicka (com toda a audiência). Quanto ao streaming, parece que ouvi 689 artistas diferentes, 53% deles pela primeira vez. E tenho um novo tote bag!

ronda de perguntas sim ou não

1. renovar garantias com EUA sobre Lajes? - AV “em vez disso quero outras coisas” (sem sim, nem não); AF diz que EUA já não está a cumprir; AS diz sim; CM e JP querem Lajes sem EUA; GM diz que não é o momento adequado - mas há que exigir que se cumpra o já acordado; CF tem medo que EUA queiram mexer; MM concorda com GM e CF, discorda de CM e JP;

2. tem ligações com maçonaria? - ninguém tem

3. cargo de representante da república para as regiões autónomas ainda faz sentido? - CF diz não; JP diz sim; MM diz que isso é para o Parlamento responder; AV critica MM por não se meter em temas do parlamento neste tema mas meter-se noutros, e depois diz não ao cargo; AF relembra que em 2004 a figura era consensual, e que os motivos não mudaram (portanto sim, faz sentido); AS tb não sabe responder a perguntas de sim ou não, fala sobre as regiões autónomas, não responde nem sim nem não. CM diz que no parlamento defendeu a sua existência, mas que isso é matéria do parlamento e não da PR; GM diz que apesar de ser da competência AR a sua opinião é que o modelo evolua para deixarmos de ter a figura.

10/n

CM quer transparência, dá exemplos de como a lei do lobby é insuficiente, fico sem perceber muito bem do que acha desta nova lei em concreto (se vai no bom caminho mas não chega como defendem quase todos os outros, ou se é má porque legaliza o tráfico de influências, como defende AF). A resposta é boa porque dá a opinião genérica sobre o tema, e julgo que se ainda não foi promulugada, será ainda por Marcelo, pelo que não precisa de se pronunciar sobre esta redação em particular, mas não se perdia nada em saber-se mais claramente… a falta de clareza pode derivar do facto da resposta ter derivado - ao criticar as promiscuidades, CM dá o exemplo do financiamento do Chega, que obviamente é um trigger ao AV, e começa uma troca de criticas entre AV e CM sobre CH e BE (o AV até atira para o PCP também), com CM a dizer verdades, AV a dizer mentiras (sem surpresas, portanto).

Day 7 was pretty tough, I initially ended up implementing an exponential in both time and memory solution that I killed because it was eating all the resources on my Mac Studio, and this poor little machine only has 32GB of memory (I stopped it at 118GB of memory, swapping badly!), This is what I ended up doing before/after:

• Before: Time O(2^k · L), memory O(2^k), where k is the number of splitters along a reachable path and L is path length. Exponential in k.
  
• After: Time O(R·C) (or O(R·C + s) with s split events), memory O©, where R = rows, C = columns. Polynomial/linear in grid size.
