I think I struggle to see any application of LLMs for my notes that wouldn't, in practice, be just as easily implemented as a search facility. My main challenge with my notes (that I've been collecting for about 15 years) is remem

Hm. I guess this consultancy-on-a-paid-version model doesn't bother me (and clearly didn't bother the developer of freenginx while they were paying him). But a double fork can't be good.

The "parliament cannot bind its successors" principle was absolutely (and deliberately) imported into US law, yes. It's more general -- no branch of government can bind its own successors. (With the exception of e.g. presiden

A written constitution doesn't really seem to work out better, though, does it?

> Decisions by the parliament are treated as immutable there? Yes, and no. Parliament is sovereign -- it is the supreme legal authority. But it cannot bind its successors. So any law parliament creates, any decision can be overturned by

De-escalation wouldn't have helped when you get down to the root of the problem. Sorry. But I mean... they also don't get trained to shoot guns, evidently? I mean, OK, hitting the acorn would be a tall order ;-) But these two gun

This sort of thing clearly shows every single thing that is wrong about US gun culture, and its impacts on law enforcement. There was absolutely no attempt to de-escalate things with the oak tree. I mean it wasn't even a gun nut. I

I don't know if it is a standard, but I have seen them a fair bit (UK). I did say "additional", though. I mean, yes, you'd want to be able to locally isolate the power as well, where possible. But when the device is capa

It's not really a "rug pull" to simply take your own open source code off a site at your own discretion. Nothing's been taken away, it's just been obfuscated. Foolishly. Definitely petty, as another commenter says.

Mains can be killed at a distance, in the doorway, by someone not even getting near the machine. Losing a mains "all stop" (and a mains breaker at that) seems to me to be an odd safety choice. I think cordless tools make a lot of

Does one really want a cordless table saw? Isn't the additional ability to kill the power from the mains useful?

If they had concentrated on Series 60 they could easily have fixed Symbian over time. It was highly capable. For example it ran a full Webkit (yes really) browser before Apple shipped their own. That was genuinely useful. It even had code s

Apple didn’t make (or design) much of the silicon in the original iPhones, I think? They didn’t use their own SoC for six years; it was a custom order Samsung before that. And oddly enough the (pre Touch) iPod wasn’t their chip or even thei

The main issue they had was fragmented Symbian versions. Oh that and they allowed themselves to listen to Stephen Elop. I admire their hardware innovation and I think it’s sad we lost it. My Nokia E61 is still one of my favourite past hands

On the other hand, I have a cheap Apexel leather-backed case for my old iPhone X. Black plastic (polyurethane, maybe?), metal top panel across the top the height of the camera bulge, and a padded red leather back. I bought it used on eBay (

It had never really occurred to me that having a backdating facility was this much of a problem. I guess it is a risk for longstanding hosted services.

Thank you for your writing on Git over the years, particularly Pro Git, which is helpful.
