While I haven't personally tried it myself, ArchiveBox seems to be tailored specifically for archiving[1]. Mb you should give it a try? [1] https://archivebox.io/

Imo, everyone should check https://terminaltrove.com/ from time to time. There, I have found easy replacements to commonly used tools: find -> fd, time(for runtime comparison) -> hyperfine, grep->ripgrep, asciinema

I have an alias reload="exec zsh" for fast reloading. Admittedly, this does wreck up everything set up locally but I doubt you will be modifying ~/.[zsh|bash]rc file often

Unfortunately, poop and urine is one of the main reasons for soil contamination by Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS).[1] [2] . I think farmers will have to rethink using those as fertilisers soon [1] https://ww

What is the best solution for recognizing handwritten text that combines multiple languages, especially in cases where certain letters look the same but represent different sounds? For example, the letter 'p' in English versus &#x

Thanks for the useful link! I guess I am being overly paranoid, but I always also add a virus total check on top of it to make sure the file is clean [1] [1] https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload

To add a few cents, I just tested it and it seems mandatory nowadays to add --display_charset=utf-8 option if you are viewing non-english websites. Otherwise, lynx seems to be converting non-ascii chars into ascii. [1] [1] https:/&#x2

Hey, I didn't confuse them but I guess I should have been more specific. I've addressed 2 main points in my text. 1) In my opinion, for the vast majority of cases you don't need to be worried about comparability, as you can e

I am a huge proponent of zstd after I learned about it on HN. I've recently had to compress a 12 Gb csv file. zstd took ~3 sec for compression and ~11 sec for decompression and got the file to ~1.1 Gb. Xz took ~3.5 min for compression(

I thought you could simply add `restrict`[1] to indicate that only one pointer points to a specific object? Shouldn't this help? [1] https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/restrict

Just gave it a try, looks promising for sure. What I don't get is how to add more habits. Are you only allowed to keep 3 by design or am I missing something?

+1. On top of that, even with the new resolver it still takes ages to resolve a dependency for me, so somethimes I end up just using pip directly. Not sure if I am doing something wrong(mb you have to manually tweak something in the configs

Would recommend you to install pyenv[1]. It was very useful when my team had to update a lot of projects using <=3.10 to 3.11 [1] https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv

Kudos to the Tenstorrent team for being so open to having a discussion. I wish more companies would be like that, as constructive criticism is very useful, especially for a startup

As far as I can tell, one of zstandard's main benefits is compression/decompression speed. Is the ratio still worse than xz though?

In my mind,I just automatically translate a EXPRESSION1 b EXPRESSION2 c as (a EXPRESSION1 b) and (b EXPRESSION2 c), so there's no ambiguity. But I agree, it can be very confusing,so I tend to write code that is easy to read without be

Is there anything similar and lightweight that is cross-platform(or at least is available both on Linux and OS X)? I am not a Windows user, so that's a secondary priority for me

In my university you could technically use any computer but must ensure that your code would work/compile on lab PCs cause that's where TAs would check it. As a result, during labs most people would just use computers there(too mu

Sorry for a stupid question but to clarify, even though it is a 1-bit model, it is supposed to be working with any types of embeddings, even taken from larger LLMs(in their example, they use HF1BitLLM/Llama3-8B-1.58-100B-tokens). I.e.

To be honest, I knew about the speed limitations of sshfs already, so I typically use rsync to work with large files. This way, I wouldn't write the data locally even if the connection fails. I've checked the github repo and it lo

I've recently discovered sshfs and learned about needing to have FUSE as a dependency for OS X, which spiked by interest. The code looks very clean and easy to understand, so thanks for that! Is there any guide/course you would re

I am personally using https://github.com/st3w/neo (from the Matrix) as my screensaver. Feels good to feel yourself looking at that side of the world from time to time :)

I had a similar idea to track my caffeine intake(assuming that the half-life is 6 hours). The only question I haven't had time to look into yet is what is the biological effect of previously taken vs newly taken caffeine? Say I had a c
