Ok, I’ll look into that then. Thanks.

Going opt-in instead of opt-out does not change the fact that I would still have to toggle the features manually. To be more specific, my use case is that I have a program to control cameras in my lab. But not all computers have the libraries for all cameras. So, every supported library can be enable/disable using a feature But the program being still in active development, I am frequently using cargo run, cargo check, cargo install, on different computers with different libraries installed. What would be convenient would be to have a configuration file on each computer, specifying that we will build only for PCO camera on this computer, only for Photometrics camera on this one, only Ximea and PCO on this one, instead of having to remember to toggle the relevant features every time. A shell script is not very convenient because I use different commands, run, check, install etc.

This would look like it would be what I am looking for, but the documentation of the configuration file does not mention features.

Thank you very much for your reply. I have tried the approach you explain in your blog post, and it works. Your blog post is useful and clearly written !

Si tu veux… j’avais créé aussi https://lemmy.physfluids.fr/c/sciencefr dans le même esprit, mais il y a peu de trafic. Dans l’idée, même si j’ouvre pas l’instance elle-même à d’autres utilisateurs, je pensais au moins participer à partager la charge en hébergeant des communautés, de préférence orientée science puisque c’est mon domaine.

Salut. Oui c’est ma propre instance (il y a aussi l’instance mastodon https://physfluids.fr). Je suis pas certain de vouloir l’ouvrir à tous car je n’ai pas assez de temps pour gérer de la modération. Je peux prendre quelques utilisateurs sûrs si certains le souhaitent.

Ah oui, c’est une bonne idée ça !

I think I once read that when the metric system was first defined during the French Revolution, they also tried to use a decimal system for time, but that was quickly abandoned.

Impressive chart !

Is there a full list of novels in this timeline ?

I found Memory Beta First Splinter novels timeline, but it does not have all the novels. In particular, I can’t find either “Collateral Damage” or “Time To” in the list…

Thank you for the detailed and insightful answer. I’ll bookmark it to decide on the next books to read.

First, the Relaunch Treklit novelverse is a separate continuity from the new television series. I personally prefer a lot of the choices of major political arcs in the Relaunch timeline better than the new shows. Interestingly, the last season of Picard started to bring in some parallels from the books, despite being a very different future for Picard himself.

OK good to know. So I can continue forward and not get spoilt. Does it mean that they have stopped writing for this timeline, now that the new shows are out ?

Una McCormack has a few more Cardassia focused books. If you haven’t read them all yet, I’d suggest those given your preference for her book in the Fall. The book with Dr Pulaski is great and important but should be read after the Bashir S31 sequence if you’re going to do that.

You mean Enigma Tales, and Neverending Sacrifice, or are there others ?

the Voyager books advanced much more slowly through the timeline. I found the Christie Golden books exasperating (mainly due to the constraints out in her by the IP holder). When Kirsten Beyer took over and started the Full Circle sequence she was given freedom to fix many issues. It’s a great set of return to the Delta Quadrant books. Some recommend just starting with ‘Full Circle’ and going forward from there. Beyer takes about the first half of that book catching you up and moving things forward.

As a matter of fact, I remember reading some of the earliest of those Voyager books (paper version). But it is so long ago that I could as well reread them now. What’s “IP holder” ?
