Notes looks great, is Plume a native application too?

Actually several of them are reasonably fast, at least on good CPUs. What I dislike with Electron applications in general is the high overhead on the system (how many GBs of RAM for the few electron apps I need to run in the background?)...

Some AI translation from German?

Lol did the same, but it quickly returns "Wir wünschen frohe Weihnachten" if you go too fast... I guess many people are trying to automatize... here the last outputs: Fehler: Fehler: Fehler: in the last 10 seconds

How do you plan to cover the costs?

Sekaiju looks good, thanks for mentioning it!

Lol, didn't know the latter, I though too it was APC (the UPS company) and that shutdowns were about power outages and how they relate to UPSs...

Lots of very useful information here, thanks for the link! Actually there's some answer: as someone else already wrote in this thread, shields of cables must be soldered to the Faraday cage to prevent leakage.

If you ended up on the list without signing up, well I wouldn't blame you to click the "Report spam" button, because that's what it is. But I'm pretty sure that some people who actually signed up on purpose to be on

Totally true, but sometimes people just want to unsubscribe to a mailing list they got in because they forgot to uncheck the box "send me promotions" when buying something online, or maybe they even signed up on purpose in the pas

Not really true. Many spams (at least in the past) used to include unsubscribe link, either for faked-legal-compliance, to give some illusion of legitimacy of the mail/originating company to the recipient, and/or to track who is a

Do you think that Google (part of PRISM, remember?) protects your privacy better by automatically linking your browsing data with your Google profile if you ever have the idea of logging in on a Google website before tweaking the settings?

by ale42 3y ago
Maybe, rather than "open source" it should at least be "source available"? I mean, to allow everyone to see what's actually going on, and spot possibly critical bugs. This doesn't remove the responsibility from

This uses ~1% of one CPU core on my PC (but I'm using Firefox, didn't try on Chrome)

I think that the question was rather why it took 25 seconds to the current compiler to compile an Hello world on a contemporary computer... Turbo Pascal would have definitely done that in a second or less on an 8086 CPU...

If I remember well Outlook (or was it Outlook express?) used to do something very similar (speaking of 15 years ago or so), except it was infecting your local PC instead of the web server.

I guess you still think about PHP when it was version 3 or 4... we're at version 8.3 now and it's definitely not the same thing. Both for language and performance.

Install more RAM because developers are lazy and use Electron instead of making efficient native apps? What about the global power consumption and resource consumption of this trend?

As far as I remember when I used VMS while at the high school, if you write a text file in VMS and then read it byte-by-byte as binary, well, there are no line separators at all. Each line is seemingly a record in the file. I don't kno

It totally is: OpenCV does pixel-level image processing, in a deterministic and generally highly optimized way. For some computer vision, this is definitely enough, and it will have a much better performance than doing it with neural networ

Is it me, or the star sky background is mirrored?

Usually I don't, but this one I enjoyed it... also because, it's just pure scrolling, no strange animations that change while you scroll.

Indeed it looks like all the text is grayed out... like "I'm waiting for you to click that damn accept-cookie button before actually showing the page".

Once again a user-hostile company. There should be laws forbidding this kind of behavior by companies.

Am almost doing the same, basically udpcasting a file that was created with partclone.ntfs -c, and piping that to partclone.ntfs -r :)
