I think they do shut you out if you try to spin any process through "unauthorised" means. There have many projects that offer automated setup of SSH/VNC/VSCode on a colab instance, and my experience has been that colab

Appreciate the aesthetics, though I think it is more of the fool-proof design of IKEA's furniture that makes the easy-to-follow instructions possible.

Better have one happy person vote for you than having two unhappy persons voting for your opponent.

Just because a beggar is asking for food doesn't mean he is expected to accept even spoiled food, don't you think?

It should really be "cost per meaningful use" or "cost per productive use". Being able to check your news feed on your phone 60 times a day probably doesn't confer as much utility as being able to check your friend

I think you are right if the game offers mostly single-player experiences, though the developers of such games often implement dark patterns that set players up for spending more than they rationally would. As soon as player-vs-player is in

Yes I think you are right --- I was mistaken. Docker without the rootless operate in the way I described.

No it’s not. File written from inside the container into a mounted volume as root will be owned by root outside the container (uid 0, to be specific; doesn’t matter what the user is named). Edit: I might have misunderstood parent, who might

Is this... technically "securitization of the weather"?

The metric system is indeed as arbitrary as the imperial system in terms of its measurements. But at least the metric system tries to be consistent -- different units can be related and convert in a systematic way.

My pessimistic and perhaps over-simplistic view is that growth is largely enabled by modern-day's squeezing of every last drop of people's disposable income. As the population becomes poorer in general (due to lack of breakthroug

It's obviously salestalk --- the tiddlywiki community imho is in fact quite modest.

Agreed. I feel people should start replacing touchscreens with physical buttons/dials with small LED screens on them --- their functions and behaviours can be programmed to change on demand while retaining tactile feedbacks.

Be careful what you wish for. Semi-decomposed plastic flakes might prove even more harmful than microscopic plastic particles.

Wonderful news! Unfortunately they don't work on GitHub Pages yet. I still have to resort to GitHub Actions to invoke a container to render my RMarkdowns into a GitHub Pages branch --- wish one day I can retire that pipeline.

I do make use of the `backlinks` query extensively, and I use saqimtiaz's wonderful `streams` [1] plugin to recreate a Roam-like experience. This setup leads to a large amount of small-sized tiddlers (2.5k and counting), which might a

Before Obsidian there was ConntextedText [1]. Few people knew it even back then, but it is quite powerful, packed with common wiki features like linking, attributes, querying (also display results as a table), transclusion, page graph visu

You can. But you need to host it with a nodejs server.

by RyEgswuCsn 4y ago
I use tiddlywiki (with the nodejs setup) regularly. It's great until your wiki grows too large, at which point you need to wait ~10s for it to load even with modern hardware.

Isn't blockchains just git graphs where only the lucky ones get to push commits to?

That is an interesting observation. I wonder how much of the advent of "talking over doing" is related to the development of mass/social media. Influence can propagate so easily through mass media, meaning that it is now pos

One is expected to score higher in an ideal standardized test if they prepare for it. One should not be able to score higher in an ideal IQ test if they prepare for it, since IQ tests by definition evaluate an innate ability. Of course, in

True. The point of standard tests though is that it scales. The hope is that the test is able to identify at least those who have studied in general (or even better, geniuses are able to pass without studying). "Get-to-know-each-othe

To me, the rationale behind interviewing by programming puzzles seems to be: the candidates who pass are either truly smart to be able to solve the problems on the spot without preparing or diligent enough to have prepared for them. As such

> Standardized tests are designed such that preparing for the test isn't helpful. Not quite --- "preparing for the test" is also known as "studying". You were probably thinking of IQ tests.
