For a lightweight self-hosted instance, I like https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2 -- far simpler than most (all?) other options.

Well, Android is Linux, does that count as "Unix"? I think there's a lot more Android world-wide than iOS/macOS/iPadOS/watchOS/tvOS/etcOS combined?

Which is hard, when you're looking for an answer: something you don't know. How do you tell what's "quality" and what's not? LinkedIn is actually better off than most sites, because it already has a "peop

I played with ChatGPT today. It doesn't replace Google or SO today, and based on the types of issues with what it generated, ChatGPT is not going to replace a competent programmer any time soon. Where I fear you might be right though,

Well, Windows was, but that's not the point. The parent comment noted that there was a generation who shunned Microsoft because of their corporate misbehavior. More recent generations of programmers have forgotten why that was, and Mi

Mid-2014 15" Retina MacBook Pro I'll replace it soon: the 1TB SSD is has been "full" for a year or two now, and with macOS Ventura it cannot run current software any more. If it weren't for that, I'd likely ke

Ultimately, yes. It was a stupid idea from the start. With any luck, the replacement program for the replacement program is a little more focused on reality, but ... I wouldn't hold my breath.

Accenture was brought in to justify the decision that was already made to kill the project, because the internal management didn't have the confidence to make and sell their own decisions. And this isn't the first time. A few yea

Yeah, I didn't see anything in the man pages. For my purposes, a Unicode library that doesn't do string comparisons is, well ... incomplete. It's a fairly fundamental thing that you need to do: I would have thought well befo

Additional info now: 16 Nov 2022 06:33:23 UTC We are currently experiencing a DDoS attack. We have a number of mitigations in place to minimize the attack’s effects. Some customers will see a degradation of services.

Does anyone know offhand whether this does comparisons? And normalization?

The "Unix philosophy" is pretty debased in a modern Linux system. A BSD still has echoes of the original, but to get the pure experience, you should probably play with a Plan9 (maybe 9front), where the "one thing, well"

I think it's a common misconception that Emacs is not a collection of simple tools. There are two major differences: Emacs' "shell" is the ELisp interpreter, not (eg) bash; and, Unix uses the whitespace-separated text st

I still prefer code that fits in 80 columns, so I tend to split the editor pane into as many vertical panes as fit on my monitor. I like to put the project file tree thing on the left, and I generally leave the terminal/debugger stuff

Two thoughts: When seeking investment, it's usually a bit of a red flag when someone asks for a range, especially one that's relatively wide. In this case, the absolute numbers are very small, but asking for $X or two times that,

Perhaps the camera software should automatically blur faces unless instructed otherwise? I don't know the right solution. I do know I hate been photographed or videoed in public though.

I used to find the argument that "if I can see you, I can photograph you" a lot more compelling. But now that a photograph is not a piece of paper, but rather both an image and its metadata, and trivially able to be, for instance

I'm ok with it being legal to photograph, video, or record audio of public spaces without people . I'm pretty sure I'd prefer that photographing, filming, or audio recording me in an identifiable way was illegal without my e

ETH Zurich has a long history of building its own hardware. The Lilith system was built using AMD2900-series bit slice components. It was inspired by Nicklaus Wirth's sabbatical at Xerox PARC, where he was exposed to the Xerox Alto.

I think they were invented by Apollo Computer as part of their NCS (Network Computing System). From there, they were adopted by the OSF (later Open Group) DCE RPC system, and from there, by Microsoft (who renamed them GUIDs).
