It’s not mentioned in the README, but is WSL2 on the Windows Terminal app supported? I could run gnome terminal but then I have to configure X11 and that’s a pain. Thanks, this looks awesome.

Say you pin your project at version 5. An exploit is found. There is no 5.1. Instead they fixed the exploit in 7. However 7 breaks your pipeline. What do you do? Fix the vulnerability yourself on an outdated version (high effort) Upgrade yo

What do you make of the Hutter prize [0]? I think the greatest breakthrough in lossless compression would come when the development of compute outpaces storage density. Maximum possible compression (entropy i think?) isn’t impossible per sa

The article doesn’t mention it, what consequences do the officers/department or those involved face for creating a fake report and fraudulently denying the FOIA request?

I don’t know when this interview was, but I’m surprised to see no mention of sputum testing as a replacement for Nasopharyngeal RT-PCR. I don’t know the precise number, but probably at least a dozen of these spit tests have been developed a

I’m glad to see NYC drive testing like this. There’s still a lot of decisions that need to be made in our collective efforts against further harm. Really it comes down to 3 dimensions: 1. Where do we direct tests 2. Where do we allocate non

It’s for this reason I personally dislike factorio as a game. Don’t get me wrong, the game itself is fantastic, but I don’t have the patience for it. Rather, I find myself trying to build a factory top down. I write a bunch of sticky notes

I've now spent a considerable amount of time transferring a Wordpress site from one of these hosting providers. It's ironic frankly, just how bad the web-design and hosting of a 'web-design and hosting' platform is. Clea

It’s hard for me to understand the value proposition of self experimentation. Probabilistically, It sounds like best case you’re looking at a small level of immunity. Worst case, you’re looking at enhancement. Doing this to yourself proves

Well, there are some consequences we must consider. Foreign student populations contribute a great deal of money to Universities. It is typical at many private institutions that foreign students pay 100% sticker price. If that institution g

I'll maintain that it was a prediction as to why they purchased Mapillary. But I'm super excited to see what comes of this technology. I recently bought into VR, and it's a clearly amazing technology. The content, however, re

Wild prediction here, but I think this has largely to do with their VR/AR business. Sure, having a platform to manage more spatial data is cool, but I don't think this adds that much value to their current data. In comparison, i
