On one hand, you can't expect a small outfit like Framework to offer cheap worldwide shipping. On the other hand, you have a great point about "DIY serviceability" being useless if you can't get parts for a reasonable pr

Exactly. Upon smelling the LLM excretion, I immediately get this feeling that I was tricked and I get a bit pissed off.

Why would you struggle to define what's wrong? It's overly verbose and weirdly flowery. I wish LLMs were better. But currently, when I read that drivel, I feel repulsed.

Awesome how you whipped up a bit of commandline, thanks so much.

Writing raw ethernet frames, can you do that as an unprivileged user? Or is the point more that we're doing userspace networking, which could nevertheless be run as root?

Where do you monitor this? In the Firefox process manager, I see that it eats ~120 MB.

Even when a dog is not aggressive, unexplainable things can happen. Last year, there was news in The Netherlands about a case where grandparents were babysitting. Their normally docile German shepherd killed the baby within seconds. https:

After screwing around, the solution turns out to be a shell script. Magnificent, I love this stuff.

Thanks so much for pointing out that subreddit. I've read and re-read Banks' novels and now I can read about them every now and then.

Well as soon as it gets interesting, JSON goes out of the window. No firmware engineer would send me JSON over HTTP, for example.

You are being downvoted, but I think it has to do with your last paragraph. Check the guidelines link at the bottom, it has some related remarks.

If you're still running the affected kernel, what are the possible consequences? Also, this has been public for months: - February 17, 2024: I posted the hash of TURPENTINE.c to X on Feb 17, 2024. - May 13, 2024: macOS Sonoma 14.5 (23F

Stage Manager was introduced in Ventura, which is definitely a form of window management. I don't think you can call that "badly stalled"?

It looks like Pythonista is meant for running Python on iOS inside Pythonista, not for building complete, full-featured apps with Python.

They want to store pictures as well, and search text inside those pictures.

You don't need to read the nitty-gritty of the USB spec itself, having a general idea of its capabilities is enough. The kernel gives you a bunch of functions to work with. You can learn it by simply reading the code of the most simple

I teach and it's not a war at all, from my point of view it's actually quite simple. We use Gradework. Students upload their work in Word or PDF, and there's a percentage counter in the top right corner. If it's above 30

Vattenfall (a big Swedish energy company) had the same for a while. Their marketing created a website where you could log in as a user, on a completely different domain. Most have been fixed but my current pet peeve is receiving email newsl

Talking about taboo words, this makes me think about the words you can spell with hex numbers. When I did a bit of embedded programming and electronics control, we used these to visually mark up the raw data. I remember DEADBEEF and B00B, a

You could equally find it absurd with current rent/property prices that a building is empty. Don't get me wrong, if I was a property owner, I'd probably argue the other way. But I'm very worried nowadays whether my kids

Your rather carefully worked comment is being downvoted already. I agree with you, but I think that here, plenty of people have the dream of early retirement. Don't get me wrong, I like that dream too. I just have my thoughts about the
