Why not? It isn't clear to me why monolithic kernel wouldn't still have better performance.

Even though a process can be run concurrently, it doesn’t mean you necessarily want to. Besides that, your cron itself may be something like “do-something | grep foo > /root/bar”. You obviously don’t want to run that concurrent

That font seems to be designed for low vision readers. I'm not sure if you can extrapolate that to people without any sort of vision issues. I mean, I can read the essay just fine, and I don't find it particularly hard to read or

I feel like that is a myth. Most people I know use monospace fonts for programming.

I thought Zelda BoTW nailed it pretty well. Everywhere you go there's always something exciting to find.

Yeah, I should add a disclaimer that I'm just one user who's never been a product manager or anything of the sort. All my opinions may be completely rubbish. But I share them anyways because they may help someone.

I'm not sure if the number of queries is easy to measure. My experience is as follows: I found out about it and decided to make some queries. I was trying to understand what it's good at and what it is not. I think I tried the sam

I think the top element with the LLM response is a bit distracting, since it takes so much longer to load than everything else. I think it'd be nicer if it was on a side panel or, at least, that the block allocated to it was fixed and

I didn't know about https://open-vsx.org/ . Very nice! But besides those languages, they are also missing things like the remote ssh extension, which is a big deal breaker for me (and I assume many others regardless of

Can you use all extensions available for vs code in vs codium? I thought the best ones, provided by ms, were vs code only.

You miss a bit, but you get most of it. Many people use them successfully to watch YouTube videos, read articles, etc. You can usually find what a meme means by googling it. A lot of American culture gets through to people who don't sp

I see. My understanding of it is that apple gives you a signed letter saying that you're verified to be over 18. While it's possible to verify that the signed document is legitimate, if it's in any way tied to the person pres

YouTubers produce their own content, though. And they often are limited companies, as they need to pay an editor, receive sponsorship, etc. Sometimes it's easier to be a company, legally.

That service would need to be run by a third party, which would know your id and the fact that you are trying to access pornhub, wouldn't it?

I'm curious. What's in between nothing and checking id?

That's a very cynical view. It might be true, but I hardly think they were just waiting for the perfect opportunity. If it made business sense before, they would've already been halting their hiring.

Does the bill single out netflix and amazon prime? Will the independent youtuber also have to support indigenous languages?

Sort of. Most sites are available everywhere with the same content, the main exception being exactly netflix and other streaming platforms. Even though language is a barrier sometimes, it's not always. Translation software is getting b

That message is poor UI. If you know what it means, you probably don't care about the possibility of sudo sending an email when you first typed it. If you don't know, you will be worried probably without a good reason to be so. No

To better represent how big of an effort it was. A non-trivial part of the economy was dedicated to get that project working. I think that is a better representation of the effort.

It'd be nice if there was a directory of well known good email servers that you need to pay to register. The payment aspect should be enough to keep spammers away. Then, companies like Google would have less of a justification to imple

The budget, for one. It was 2-3% of the GDP at the time. These commercial efforts have nothing remotely close to that. Also failure was seen as a bigger deal for all involved (due to the soviet threat). So, they'd rather waterfall the

LLMs get a lot of facts wrong. Computer literate people can double check. But completely illiterate people can't even look it up in a book. That sounds like a way to fabricate myths and straight up lies that are believed by the most vu

Also, these things are not secret for a very long time and eventually other people figure out (completely independently or maybe even influenced by some google's ex-employee). Then, they wouldn't even be able to say they invented

It does make sense, as the upgrade may break the system because of the tampering. Probably say upfront that there's a problem and let the user do a full reinstall when they can rather than attempt to upgrade and break everything. They
