What’s right for today’s CPU is horrible for next year’s in those terms - and also the other way around.

This is likely to avoid buying-for-ratings and then returning; and the solution is to factor it in rating only after the return window expires (or the user explicitly says “I like it, giving up my right to return it”. (True fans will do tha

This is very relevant, and perhaps deserves a submission of its own: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/2534391.stm """But the snapshot of in the UK in the mid-1980s was stored on two virtua

My problem with Thunderbird (and the reason I switched to NewsBlur, which I happily pay for, although there's a freemium tier and you can also run it yourself) is that it has to be up to receive updates. That may be acceptable on an al

It is inefficient up until the point where you ask git to do a gc+repack, at which point git will look for deltas - and if it is changes to the same file, it will likely find them and encode them as a delta. For text files with really small

desync is what git-lfs should have been: rolling hash chunk based storage, with local caching of chunks, proxying of remote chunks, etc. When I have big 100MB binary files that i want to version, the changes are small (1MB in one place, and

Tangentially related, but all you need is Pachelbel's Canon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxC1fPE1QEE (Yes, it's a youtube video, and I hate videos, but this one is worth it)

You don't need samba for that, you can (and should!) configure you Mac not to write them in the first place. See e.g. https://support.studionetworksolutions.com/hc/en-us/articles... (random google result).

It was not in the US - it was in a country where shareholders in private companies actually have rights - and I was contracting for a company where this was actually used for good: founders tried to screw early employees (already vested and

There is nuance, though - adversarial shareholders can bring a company down. It happens often enough with bona fide investors; but when you have a disgruntled employee (or one who quits to go work for a direct competitor), who has the same

The only writer I follow on substack, Scott Alexander S. (Previously of SlateStarCodex fame, now AstralCodexTen) went into all the details - what he was offered, and why it was a good offer - it wasn’t a bribe like most celebrity deals are

This might be a good place to ask - I have a first generation Samsung Chromebook (exynos arm based) which is no longer supported by Google. Gallium doesn’t support it; is anyone else using this device? Which OS are you using? And did you op

Data should be versioned if it’s one of your inputs, even if you can’t merge it. It’s just that the gut tooling for it (including git-lfs) is horrible. Perforce (and apparently Eden) make it usable.

A coworker of mine works locally in $editor_of_choice (which is VS for C#, VSC for most others, some weird DB system for SQL), and has a window of Beyond Compare always on top; that allows him to see what files are different locally/re

Never used them, but from your description sounds either like (a) they are in trouble and trying to profit somehow off funds (by way of interest? I don't know) or (b) they are raising money (from private investors or IPO), and need an

But that's an inherent problem with a non-transactional file system. If you remove .gitignore 1 microsecond before git open()s it, it's gone. If you remove .gitignore 1 microsecond after git open()s it (even before it has a chance

My thunderbird has an option for “modify from …” which lets me write whatever I want. On mobile, can’t check exact text. I do remember I had to reggae a switch in the preferences to make that option appear, don’t remember which one - have

You can rub it on WSL2, tell it to listen on 0.0.0.0 and set the WSL2 IP address as the windows’ gateway. It’s slightly more work, but works quite well for any TCP connection; I’ve actually had 20 windows machines use one Linux machine this

Does anyone know how well modern DoH infrastructure works with geographically specific results? E.g., google.com on any "real" DNS points me to a google proxy on a nearby ISP, usually mine -- netflix also has local ISP boxes. Don&

Is it really Hilbert? A project I worked on a couple of decades ago had interleaved the bits of the x and y indexes to get that effect “for free”, I imagine a Hilbert curve decode would take quite a bit of silicon.

Nimpy makes it possible to move from Python to Nim gradually. It’s magical, and while it doesn’t solve python’s own venv problems, it would only need the DLL from Python - whether it was 2.5 or 3.4 or 3.8, it would just work - they probably

If this was really a concern, it would have likely not been deprecated in the move to 64-bit, and would have had support in other architectures as well. And if you're really worried about size, "JNO 1f; INT xy; 1f:" 'wit

Don’t you have to add an INTO (interrupt on overflow) to trigger that? I don’t remember there’s a mode where arithmetic overflows trap automatically. (And if that’s the case, by now INTO will be a slow microcode implementation, with JO _tri

QNX did it right. So far, it doesn’t seem like anyone else did.
