When I graduated uni in the late 2010s it was still quite popular. Budget airlines have made trips to southern Europe a lot more popular/feasible for a boozy weekend with mates, but for people who want to go backpacking for a month or

To me it just suggests that the blog is going to explore the topic at a low level, ie, discuss the transmission of bits of data via cables or radio waves, rather than discussing HTTP or TLS or whatever. Which in general is something I find

No issues on FF on Linux here. No crashes or memory leaks as far as I can see.

I assumed the metro layer was specifically for underground lines, as they won't show up in the normal layer. I just checked for London and the tram lines and stops show up as expected in the standard view.

With respect, only an American would think that the competition ceases to be interesting just because the US loses. This is already shaping up to be a really interesting WC with or without the US. Political leaders intervening to give their

A surprise to see Flann O'Brien pop up in the comments. While we're here, I will say that At Swim Two Birds and The Third Policeman are fantastic books, I highly recommend them.

I use OrganicMaps a lot for long walks and it's great. Works perfectly offline if you have downloaded the map of the region beforehand, which is helpful if you are in an area with poor reception or just want to conserve phone battery b

Same. Well, I did buy the PinePhone Braveheart edition a few years ago, but never did much with it. I keep an eye on the PinePhone Pro and PineNote in particular, these could be fantastic but it seems the software ecosystem is quite slow to

Reminded me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lyttle There is a good write-up/obituary of him at https://www.ft.com/content/fe13350f-6522-4892-b67e-301828b10...

I had a similar experience trying to use an old laptop with 2GB of RAM. I was surprised how much it struggled with basic tasks. I remember my first computer with 32MB of RAM. Obviously we live in a different world now but still, it's n

I think it's just that it's a cool game that's popular with HNers. Same with 0ad and other software like GnuCash. Always interesting to see what new features they have introduced and even just read how others play the game.

While it's true that everyone is ultimately driven by self-interest, I don't think it's true that everyone is a NIMBY. Many people just don't see development of their area as being against their interests. Local business

Namespace pollution is an annoying problem in Rust. A while ago I was looking for a crate to help build something to interact with Apache Solr. Great, there's a Rust crate called `solr` on crates.io. And here it is: https://

I mean, it's highly unintuitive, which I would say makes it difficult to understand. The main weirdness is that lowering the rent would force a revaluation whereas letting the building sit vacant for an extended period of time apparent

My current after work activity is building a basic window manager (on top of river[1]) and asking myself what I am doing with my life. I'm not sure if I needed to read this or if this is the last thing I needed to read. It's not e

Curious to know the basis on which they were arrested. I guess it's something in the realm of criminal damage to public property. But that would imply that Maestri's bolts had become part of the public property that is the mountai

Yes, I think it's trying to be comprehensive (as far as possible) rather than detailed. Given the amount of frameworks listed, including representative screenshots or comparisons for each would be a substantial effort. The best primer

I know the trend from the LiminalSpace subreddit. It's nice to scroll through, peaceful yet slightly unsettling. But I think a lot of that effect comes less from the physical "in-between-ness" of the spaces and more from the

It seems clear to me that a company that pushes being EU-based and minimising US dependencies as a selling point doesn't really want to "conquer the globe". As a consumer it is even less important to me. Indeed, if your searc

Have you tried Uruky and found it to be lacking? Totally agree with you, but I don't see many people here saying they've had a bad experience with this. (I haven't used it)

I had seen river but for some reason didn't look too much into it. I think it's because at first glance it looks like a protocol that you can build a WM on, rather than a WM itself, but I guess it's probably easy to build you

Yes, when looking into it I realised how dated Vicious is these days. It goes to show how long I've been using AwesomeWM I guess because I think it was the shiny new(ish) thing when I first started using it. It doesn't seem like t

These are academics. Not to disparage them or their work at all but it is very different to the transaction or litigation work that is done in BigLaw. It is a lot more focused on analysing and summarising existing texts, which are themselve

Slight tangent but has anyone moved from AwesomeWM to a Wayland-based tiling WM? Interested to hear what people chose. I tried Sway for a bit and while it's not bad by any means it's a bit too unlike what I'm used to. SomeWM
