Decent torrent sites get rid of those very quickly. It’s corporations doing their own work by creating a scare.

The functional version is written in a style that uses tail recursion, which is not optimized in JS. It’s linear if arrays are not copied, which should be the case with TCO. Both versions are quadratic if arrays are actual arrays and requir

There’s nothing sci-fi in that story. It could have been set in Nazi Germany, Tsarist Russia, Qing China, or anywhere else. Except it would need to compete on a different field, and wouldn’t fare as well.

Credit is certainly owed under MIT, a copyright notice must be included. (I wonder where Intel shows this copyright notice; in principle, it should come with every processor or product based on the processor. Probably in the same place wher

I’d say that for coding the critical bit is not “things lining up” — it’s a bad practice anyway — but wide and clear punctuation (`[{(` &c).

You can run your own and federate with whomever. It’s unlikely that this scenario will be common. It’s more likely that the large instances switch to whitelisting eventually. Maybe self-hosting could be made more common through selling a (c

Mastodon has moderation facilities and is famous for instances having CoCs, refusing federation with instances with conflicting views, &c.

Typical ergonomic guidelines are to place monitors so that your eyes are 2-3 inches below the top of the screen (looking down is much easier than looking up). The monitor in the photo is a 40”. Either they’re a giant, or their knees are we

This monitor height (and size) looks incredibly painful. The desk top material is just an incorrect choice. I don’t understand how they live with the felt pad.

Meta is not “Mark’s company”. It’s publicly traded and has millions of shareholders who do not support this silliness. For now, the main reaction is to sell (leading to the valuation drop).

What’s “insufficient donations”? Insufficient for what? What this is saying is that: 1) There are some large companies that are using Gitea as a core product, and not contributing their enhancements back to the community. 2) We are starting

I don’t use Gnome (want tiling, am able to set up whatever, only use like 3 applications), but feel it’s pretty amazing. My 6-yo with no prior knowledge of computing devices that aren’t an iPad can use it (to launch Scratch, watch videos I

It’s faster, but less accurate than a trackpad, and certainly faster than keynav (and probably the thing in the post, which is a re-implementation of keynav).

Nomacs is about as cross-platform as it gets. Aero snap (or whatever Win+arrows is called now) is not a replacement for a tiling wm, and you being happy to finally have a _terminal_, of all things, is just sad.

If ‘shit you need to do’ includes office use (Excel has no competition), graphics (Adobe, others), or quite a few other equally important things, Linux will not be a good fit. I use Linux on my computers because it’s much easier to use — se
