NVIDIA drivers were a thing, the manual config of X was hell. I agree with your depressive prediction on WSL, Firefox and Google Chrome.

The game stuff was truly neat. But flash was also used for tons of things like bank websites or other government stuff, employment stuff or even credit card payment system. Flash never worked well on anything but windows on x86 (32 bits). A

Because the linux desktop is forbidden at many tech companies nowadays, for the very reasons you wrote! At a company I worked, overtime they wanted everybody on Mac or Windows. No code locally, only ssh onto a Linux VM. When you argue you c

I have noticed that too. Google has become so useless. And with all the little knowledge stuck behind reddit dark patterns, discord locked and utterly unsearchable world. And the modern forum stuff a mess of slow JavaScript that loads on de

It's free and electron because they can run it in a web browser, running everything on MS Azure. With code on GitHub and CI on GitHub etc etc. The whole dev experience offered to companies as a service via a series of web applications.

I have had around 13 power outages this week. I live right in the middle of Silicon Valley. Most of the charges from PG&E are indeed the grid charges, the rest is supposedly a mandatory green energy. This is depressing.

I concur. It works exactly how you expect a solder sucker is supposed to. It gobble up the solder so good it's a joy to use. I regret not having known about this tool years ago. I wasted so much time and frustration on the ubiquitous c

I am a total amateur here. But I found it natural to keep a relative spacial coherence in the schematic, and have it somewhat similar on the PCB side. Though kicad would just dump everything randomly when moving to thr PCB view. As I unders

You start with a dizizlgy large amount states (RAM, storage, network, threads...). The goal of programming languages is to give you a way to reduce the vast number of states as much as possible. Without removing the ones you need to do the

I have been playing with KDE/wayland lately and after turning off all animations I am really liking it. I come from i3. I am missing the independent virtual desktop / monitor mapping. But this can be somewhat worked out with pinni

You can find plenty of well articulated rant online. The gist is Go ignores all research in programming languages. Is very hard to use properly. It is really hard to produce safe APIs. You are encouraged to pop threads (preemptive user thre

24h after starting Paxlovid, I was doing mechanical work under my mom's car. The worst side effect was the blood pressure. My eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

The information and rate of upload as described seem reasonable. Is the fear from most people that it will be a foot in the door? And a way for Google to collect extra overtime? Note: I think Go is a regressive technology. That would have b

Everything loads instantly. Plays almost instantly. And it really seems to find very similar style/beat/music. Interface is clean. I am not sure if intentional, but the loading animation on the play buttons feels like it is in syn

Some even have integrated shutoff valves, so you can replace the cartridge without shutting off the water anywhere else! What a marvelous world we live in.

Mine doesn't have degrees on it, but better than that, it can be adjusted such that the handle being in the neutral position (vertical in this case) is at whatever temperature you want. I set mine to 39°C which is what most people seem

You would encode that into types and expose a safe API. The usafe would still be local in scope. For example you might build an abstraction named ReadWriteMutex that guarantees safe access at runtime. I don't see a scenario where this

I noticed that too. And I guess this is a way to offset the high resolution that shows every minute details. It must be cheaper and easier this way.

Should artists be forced to live without the internet nor access to the outside, so that they can never get inspiration from other artists? Of course not. So why is it different for an AI?

Not the parent. My understanding is metal rebar is the cheapest. You need a lot of rebar in modern concrete construction.

It understands you in any languages, speaks really well any languages. And of course, converses. Like, no big deal. I remember the AI bots of a decade ago. Nothing compares. Skynet is coming.
