Yes, I will probably never go back to the US. But I find it sad that my kids for example, will have to think twice before visiting, if they do.

Those kinds of projects are super fun, and the writing here is good, so congrats to the author. That said, why do people need clocks? I usually know the time, day or night, within 30 minutes or so, and if I need to know the exact time (whic

Well, in fact a good principle is to limit side effects as much as possible. Copy or cut inside the same document should probably not involve the system clipboard at all. The system clipboard could be triggered/populated when the app g

She's really nice, fun and engaging. She has a recent video about AI agents selling mugshots that's well made and clear.

I agree with TFA on all points and therefore strongly disagree with all that is said in this post. "Cut'n paste" should be one atomic operation. If you want to do multiple pastes (why? what's the context?) then copy to t

At least in this configuration ads are separate from answers. I fear there will come a time where ads will be intermingled in the response tokens. In fact SEO people on SEO forums have been talking about how to inject products into training

If there is a browser then that's all that's needed. Just point it to the LAN IP of your Jellyfin install.

Transcoding on demand is just trading compute for storage. If you have infinite storage you can store all definitions in advance for any possible client (I think that's what Netflix does); but if you don't, transcoding on demand i

You can do that with Jellyfin and Tailscale trivially on devices you own; for a hotel TV you can use a GL.iNet travel router (which will also let you access your LAN from any device connected to it) and it's all free (except for the ro

Yes. And with something like a GL.iNet travel router + Tailscale, you can watch Jellyfin from anywhere without ever exposing it to the Internet. You plug it in your hotel room, tell the hotel TV to connect to it, and voilà: Jellyfin on any

Borders are generally insane. But they are especially rich coming from countries, like the US or many European countries that got most of their wealth from pillaging other territories. Walls and steel doors are bad enough but it's a go

You can't pay more to get a better drone than DJI's. You can pay more (although it's difficult) to get a worse drone. Much worse.

They're harder to completely understand than they are to read; it often happens for example that SQLite won't use existing indexes, for no obvious reason.

Yes! keeping it that way helps with traceability. The point is not to fix the data, it is to understand where corruption happens.

1. Yes, hints, like maybe the position of a random letter, then another, etc. The game could allow you to "buy" more letters with your existing score (and maybe an initial amount: everyone starts at, say, 36?) 2. Yes being able to

This feels like the acme of narcissism. How much time and money are people willing to spend on navel gazing?

I could absolutely not do this, but "Into Thin Air" (which mentions Green Boots many times) is a great book. Highly recommended.

The EU should cut all ties with the US, tax US products and impose costly (and difficult to get) visas to American citizens wanting to visit. It won't do any of this because it has no balls and no vision. We're doomed and it'

Socrates' objections to writing wasn't that it was inherently bad, but that it introduced limitations; namely, that you couldn't have a discussion with the author of a text while reading it, and therefore, reading was inferio
