Why does conda not use symlinks for duplicate dependencies? [on hold]

I wondered whether conda actually made duplicate files for certain dependencies shared by independent environments.



I installed two environments env1 and env2. Then I installed the same module cryptography in both of them. Next I searched for the module's name in my system with find and found it in miniconda3/envs/env1/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ as well as miniconda3/envs/env2/lib/python3.7/site-packages/.



Next I went through all directories from site-packages on and ls -al-ed for symlinks. I did not find any symlinks on the path to cryptography. Hence these must be actual copies of the same module and the same version of it.



Is this not very wasteful of disk space? Why does conda not use symlinks for cases like this? I would like to know the rationale behind this design as I suspect other environment managers handle things the same way?

Displaying single band from multi-band raster using QGIS

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP 1 How can I extract a single band from multi-band raster in QGIS? I have an remote sensed image which has 6 bands (including NDVI band), I want to display each band separately, but have no idea how to do. I have seen some questions similar here but none worked for me. The original image (has 6 bands) is: I want to display the band 6 which should be like this: But I tried gdal_translate, and couldn't get the correct result.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
