When I say "Libre software" I think I always pronounce it "leeb". -
I pronounce it like "library" (US pronounciation, long "i"). That is how we pronounced it at the workplace I was at when I first started programming (mid-90's, California) and it stuck.

@chillicampari never believes me. The plural of moose should be meese, like goose and geese. But she opposes. Violently. Loudly. Says ugly things like "Markus."

@mjj @chillicampari one moose, two meese
seems logical and legit.

@chillicampari Could you please do the same poll for “sudo”? Do people pronounce it like “pseudo” or like “Sue do”?

@benjamingeer that's a really good one! You should make it (and the poll and linux hashtags are good with that) and I'll boost it.
(edit- whoops, that was the "poll" hashtag that I meant, not "poo" hashtag. I don't know what you would get back with that)

Emulated FP64
Choosing the right news sources is important. In my case Hacker News 50 proved to be precious as in this recent post/toot/message they proposed "Fifteen Years of FP64 Segmentation, and Why the Blackwell Ultra Breaks the Pattern".Briefly, modern consumer GPU has a 64:1 ration in FP64:FP32 performances (FP64 is a shortcut for Double-precision floating-point number format).

@aeva Oh for sure, I don't think anything could get me to fully switch, I just remember really anticipating one of them roughly a decade ago and I've always been really curious about them lol. Nothing beats the scratch scratch of pen on paper though

Right.
All of my engineering career if I want to explain to friends what I do I have to describe in way too much detail how trunked terrestrial emergency radio systems, advanced train signalling or aerospace composite tooling systems worked.
It was nice during my stint at Blackberry when I could just take out my phone, point to it and say "the Whatsaflam app? I did that."
