I don’t see the dilemma - if you want to appear 50% more productive, why not actually be 50% more productive too? Or do you mean being more productive doesn’t automatically translate to it being visible.. yeah that is a tricky one..

True. Git works over ssh natively. you set up a repo in your homedir using “git init —bare”. Say in a repo subdir. Then doing git clone user@server:subdir will clone that repo on another machine and allow push and pull over ssh. In other wo

Yeah I dont think Linux will take over, nor do I want it to. With “win” I just meant for Linux desktop to gain a market share enough for vendors (software and hardware) to be hopefully obliged to support it. That said, we’re already seeing

It’s a bit unfair to run around with goalposts like that.

I agree - people saying that kind of stuff I just can’t take seriously. Programmers know to use revision control systems, practically from the start of their being programmers. For the same reason: because you can break your own code. Not u

Depends on the Mac mini model I think; used Mac mini m4 16gb 256gb are priced quite low compared to the performance - I believe close to best bang for the buck - and are I believe near best energy efficiency. I love them for heavy cpu tasks

There are maestro cards, bank cards that work very conveniently including with nfc, including with Apple Pay. Given that Apple Pay supports multiple kinds of cards.. my phone probably works almost anywhere..

If the local network as a whole can do work, connect to the Kira-alternative for their work, but the network is isolated from the internet - then it counts as airgapped IMO.

Wow, that does sound like a big improvement. My git commits are, when not forced to be otherwise, very sloppy, even though I’d prefer them to be neatly self contained. But as you imply, there is friction to making these in git, while making

I’m a bit surprised (but interested) to read it beats cython (in performance I assume). Cython can - and for performance, should - be written so that loops and code in loops are pure C code without any Python interaction. Even the GIL can b

Greetings from the trenches. My wife and I both work (because we both want to but, realistically, we also don’t have much choice). We split it all 50-50, and I pay more because I earn more, but There isn’t enough time for the house work, ch

Just an amateur interested person here, but I think there is something very positive about these developments. There are probably more, that experts can chime in on, but one I know about is that gravitational waves can give us a signal of w

For those who, like me, couldn’t parse “VDI,” it likely means virtual desktop infrastructure, which makes sense - security concerns of using a personal laptop are largely mitigated if Remote Desktop sessions are used for corporate work and

Not disagreeing with the imbalance, but I know about it (I don’t live in USA) because I’ve seen it discussed on HN and other discussion forums quite a few times.

It’s a bit short sighted to say that nvidia doesn’t physically make anything. Because they sure as hell physically sell something. One of the most wanted products on earth. For huge margins.

Coming from LP-mud love, I found it very noticeable how similar the text of actions was between MUDs and EverQuest. The text box of actions and world answers read very mud-like.

POP, for which I implemented a client. A webapp to read your mail. In C. Awful to our modern ears, but the functionality was something of an achievement at the time.

Good point. I like George Hotz’ philosophy on this - paraphrasing badly - if everyone has AI, nobody can be subjugated by AI.

It’s fair to assume that on a vm in the cloud the cores you get are dedicated to you - otherwise the CSP is risking exposure to headline making security problems.. (In the unpleasant event that someone exploits an unmitigated cpu bug.) And

This might not always work, but whenever possible, a working exploit could be demanded, working in a form that can be automatically verified to work.

The authoritarian in charge should start his own Pravda Social. I never realized how close Truth Social is in name and presumably purpose/origin to Pravda until now.
