What if someone is willing to pay 2% and not pay 30%? Do you think most people who are willing to pay more than 0% are willing to pay both numbers? Or are you punishing OP simply because they didn't know there was 2% involved? If so yo

I too have tried nixOS and nix many times in the past few years (and just recently went back to having a computer with it permanently installed, albeit not my main one). I think another underappreciated reason it's been difficult to us

More good JIT tutorials can also be found in the PyPy ecosystem, which provides tooling to add JITs to any interpreter for a language implementation written with its (R)Python toolchain. E.g. here's a recent video: https://w

uBlock + some extra style blocks works pretty well to make it go away IME. The extra style blocks will remove the fake overlays with videos that they add, or the tight padding, etc.

This is more so in the opening (the beginning of the game, and separately where engines tend to be a bit less informative) but yes it is definitely part of the chess metagame, and you'll often see commentators talk about whether someon

There was a post I can't find at the minute by someone whose core point was "digital displays aren't always better than paper maps MTA, the displays are really hard to read and much lower resolution". It was a good desig

The MTA spent wads of cash adding screens and displays all over platforms throughout the city -- ones which show ads for 30 seconds+ at a time instead of showing actual useful things like when the next train is coming, or whether there are

The building blocks are there. In Python we have the wonderful (and wonderfully sans-io) h2[1] by Cory Benfield. E.g. here's a Twisted h2-using implementation: https://python-hyper.org/projects/hyper-h2/en&#x2

Bit pedantic, but it's PyPI that Fastly gives services to, not pip (and PyPI that's down, not pip). The two are only loosely related – pip is a piece of software.

by JulianWasTaken 5y ago
That's fairly standard practice. Fastly itself has its status page up as well: https://status.fastly.com/

It's irc.libera.chat, and seems to work fine here, though servers are understandably dealing with a surge (particularly on nick registration).

Yeah bit of a disappointment... Especially given that even the paragraphs following that sentence are essentially "well maybe it's X Y or Z because people there have mustaches". I'm sure answering this question scientifi

Ah, interesting -- as in fzf wants you to integrate it with your shell's tab completion by default?

by JulianWasTaken 6y ago
I have to read through yours which indeed look nice from a quick scan, but if your goal is firstly to save typing file paths, I presume you instead considered just having a shell mapping to do that instead of needing to instrument aliases f

These are great. I'll throw in a fifth, which is I've slowly been cobbling together a simple fuzzy CLI music player (though I use fzy rather than fzf but same idea). Code is here: https://github.com/Julian/dot

I turn everything except calculator (and settings menu) off, so this problem goes away. I never really want to use spotlight to browse to some random directory or file on my filesystem, for me it's strictly for calculator and opening t

Seems better to have some separate higher level metacompression tool which does the heuristic searching across many possible compression formats and parameters.

In Python this would look like sqlalchemy's query layer (which is great).

Maintain an open source project, it'll help that passion fade somewhat quickly. (I kid, but more seriously, it did indeed help dampen some of my own passion for quite awhile. And then a bit of resurgence...)

Ha, apologies, fzy was a typo for `fd`. Too many installs on the brain. Installs of rust itself aren't succeeding yet for me via Homebrew, with what look like likely simple errors but not ones I investigated yet (though yeah I saw the

I too have just been running ARM Homebrew the past few days. For the most part, no real complaints. It'll depend heavily on what you install, and obviously you have to be OK with compiling things, but yeah no real complaints so far her
