This is more than entitled behavior, it’s downright harmful. When (not if, when) binaries get trojanned, this causes blame to be directed at the original author, and takes a lot of work to explain that they are not at fault - this has happe

Could also be a Visual Migraine (a.k.a Retinal Migraine and Ocular Migraine). AFAIK it is theorized that Visual Snow Syndrome and Visual Migraine are related.

I actually like it that my phone stays in my pocket or backpack when I enter the car, and it just works; also the car keys stay in my pocket and I can just start it. The wires do work if I need them through CarPlay, or AndroidAuto. And I do

This is a great thread to ask a semi-related question: I have an 2012/2013 Samsung ARM Chromebook (silver, looks like a MacBook knockoff). Google dropped support for it a few years ago - is there any modern Linux distribution available

"Prediction is hard -- especially predicting the future". (don't remember origin of this sentence). Very little is actually known about what RenTec is doing. They claim to use "the simplest tools in a smart way" in

Some of the best performing funds (e.g. RenTec Medallion) use prediction. It is not overrated. Just incredibly hard to get right.

Unfortunately, "fasting" is not specific enough. For some people, it means not eating for 6 hours or so ("breakfast" breaks the fast even if you've eaten late last night). For some people, it means >24 hours. Som

The famous k<w>k<w>k case... indeed. I think, though, that most instruction texts do the reader a disservice by starting with LZW (and thus having to deal with the kwkwk case from the get go). They should start with LZ78, which

Ah! That’s brilliant. Thanks!

That would work well only if there are no pointers in the load result, which sometimes (if rarely) happens without planning in C or C++ code, but almost never -- or actually never -- happens with Python code. Or am I missing something?

Confusingly enough, there is also “red bamba” available in Israel (officially called “sweet bamba” but everyone calls it red bamba) which has no peanuts - only corn and an outer sweet red coating with a berry-ish flavor. An American friend

by beagle3 4y ago
I might be mistaken, but IIRC it originally (as in, 60 years ago) contained peanuts, salt, and that’s it. 100% peanuts were replaced by 50% peanuts+50% corn some time in the last 30 years.

Which card are you using?

8088 and 8086 are internally equivalent, the difference is the size of the data bus - which would make little difference if any when emulating an 8 bit data bus processor.

TST has a good feature set, but it is incredibly slow with a large number of tabs, to the point of being unusable on older hardware. Sideberry has every feature of TST I ever used (and a few more), and is reasonably fast.

Also shutting out a lot of older and weird devices (internet fridges, dumb smart tvs, and more, many Linux and bsd users) who can’t play DRM. Some sites won’t care, but for some this will be too high a price for avoiding headless bots.

But they are starting with a customer base, some of which have been with Linode for over a decade. Way easier and faster to build reputation from that as a starting point. (And also already cash flow positive and profitable, ignoring the pu

In the long run, possibly. In the medium run (first 2-5 years) it’s not cheaper. In the short run? Buying Linode gave them a foothold in the market. Creating it from scratch, would have taken months (or even years) to be able to make the fi

It smells like dirty wet socks you’ve forgotten to wash too. But it tastes ok, even … nice? It’s an acquired taste for sure.

This included the concurrency primitives (and a little bit more) almost 20 years ago. Probably requires porting to Python 3. https://candygram.sourceforge.net/

At least in 2019, it was possible. The GUI connects to the daemon through a TCP socket, and all info passed through that connection (no direct file access from the GUI). It was possible to set it up with the daemon on one machine, and the G
