It seems that systemd-nspawn, together with machinectl can use qcow2 images directly. This means I could use the images genereted by kiwi to start containers (for development and for running the tests).

Sometimes, you want a flexible way to handle certain situations involving C++ exceptions, particularly those for which alternative actions are either easily encapsulated, do not substantially interrupt the program flow, or must cross a foreign-function interface or thread boundary. A useful idiom is to rewrite attempts to perform an action with such forms of exception handling as instead returning a monadic value, like with C++17's std::optional<>:

Eliminate the overhead that usually comes with managing access details and credentials for many hosts in many locations by providing tools to install an 'anchor' service on one publicly accessible server, and a reverse tunnel and authentication synchronization service on each of the hosts one needs access to.

Python offers some useful libraries for this topic, I already know numpy and openCV, I want to try for example scikit-image. As a concrete goal, I want to try deconvolution with variable PSF - create lens profile and use this profile to improve sharpness and chromatic aberration.

There is a long-standing problem that mirrorbrain on download.opensuse.org does not do reasonable redirection when a user comes by with an ipv6 address... In my case for example, mirrorbrain claim I'm coming from an unknown country. It's a small country, ok, but by far not unknown (Switzerland)

Ever left a restaurant wanting to write a review, but thinking it wasn't worth the trouble to tap out all those words on your phone -- you just want to give the place your n stars and provide a few words of praise or condemnation? If only you could press a button to generate a plausible review. If this project happens, you will. We'll use the Yelp API to grab as many reviews of certain types of restaurants as the terms of service allow (I assume "Use any robot, spider, site search/retrieval application, or other automated device, process or means to access, retrieve, scrape, or index any portion of the Site or any Site Content;" doesn't apply to API users -- otherwise it wouldn't be much of an API).

RabbitMQ is, in this hacker's opinion, hard to run, hard to scale, hard to debug, and difficult to run in a HA situation. ZeroMQ takes a different approach from the centralized broker model, and instead runs a daemon on every machine that needs to send or receive message over the bus, and communicates directly between machines. * Package up zeromq.

Playing around with kvm, libvirt and related tools to setup an easy to use and quickly available test environment on my workstation. Find out which other tools or environments are available on SUSE side, which can be used instead of a local/private solution.
