While it's an interesting article, I don't think there's much science going on. There's one variable barely controlled for, compared to the dozen or so variables which weren't controlled.

With long pasta it's not hard, with a tiny bit of experience and attention, to learn how it physically behaves when it's either done or close to it. It's about as easy to learn (experientially) how much it changes minute by m

If the 770 was anything like the N900 then the screen was resistive and the stylus was passive. So you could use your fingers but in my experience, for any finer task, you needed the stylus. Damn, I really miss the N900. I was seriously usi

The fact that 95+% of the population is unaware of the problems with this doesn't make it okay. There are lots of things 95% of the population don't know or think about which we don't just throw our arms up and ignore. Moreov

They haven't specifically said anything, but they have directly compared the ID to phone based payment card systems, which on the google side do rely strictly on a google-blessed android build[0][1][2]. It's also incredibly popula

I currently live in the UK, and I am not significantly restricted from anything (banking, ISAs, investments, healthcare, etc) for refusing to use a Google approved build of Android. Moreover, I actually on principle refuse to make myself de

I don't believe control master solves the problem, as long as Ansible is configured to create a new session within the long-running SSH connection then it will still have the session setup overhead. I tested this myself when prototypin

Yeah I re-read it now and don't feel so strongly about it. But I think its the sentence structure: "This is the longest a pig organ has survived in a living person" The pig organ is the first thing mentioned, with the living

I think the person you replied to was objecting to the fact that the wording makes it sound like we're using humans as vessels for extending the life of pig organs outside of pigs. Not necessarily that 6 months is a short period of tim

I don't think it shows much. It's one anecdote. In the hierarch of significance this is below even the "one published paper" level which you certainly should also ignore even if you know enough to interpret the paper. It

SSH is slow, but in my experience the primary cause of slowdown is session setup. Be it PAM, or whatever OpenBSD is doing, the session setup kills performance, whether you're re-using the SSH connection or not, every time you start som

The NHS may lack funding, or it may not. But what is certain is that if you know how the NHS operates internally, or you know someone who does, then it's extremely evident that the NHS is severely mismanaged by administrators who defin

"The new digital ID will be held on people’s phones" Is the implication here that it will become a legal requirement for me to own a modern phone (will it have to be a google/apple blessed phone?) in order to get a job in the

Quicksort in FP? Surely you mean mergesort, that's the classic FP sorting example.

The steam deck happily provides an enjoyable experience running Cyberpunk 2077. It's limited, but the limitations in a large part cancel out. It's still very capable.

Thanks for clarifying! So basically his van kept getting towed and he kept losing business as a result? Presumably it also cost him to recover his vehicle. So in summary, if you got on this list you're just permanently screwed in SF? A

Either people are broadly ok with being screwed (my personal experience suggests this) or there is a grand conspiracy to prevent anyone who is not screwing their customers from competing in the market. Maybe it is the latter, who knows. But

Rusty rust? I don't think there is such a specific thing and certainly disagree that all idiomatic rust is somehow slower by default. You can write rust like you might write a higher level language and then that can end up slower but i

I can do the things that are hard to start but fine to continue. But sometimes you have a very long slog which is hard to start and hard to continue and hard to finish. That's where the difficulty lies.
