Given the recent gripe that Bun/Anthropic indicated regarding compile times with Zig (i.e. that their vibe-coded 4x compilation speedup PR wasn't accepted), it appears to me as an "interesting" move to switch to a langua

This is honestly the first thing I look for with anything new claiming "CAD". Roughly every other week there is a new "The (programmable) CAD that fixes everything!" post on the front page, just for me to open them up ex

Just tried it out with GrapheneOS on my Pixel 7 and the eBay app works fine. Generally I think the marketing of GraphenOS is interesting. They are usually positioned as the "Absolute security. No compromises." ROM, but in my perso

I mean, GrapheneOS hits at least 2/3 of your demands pretty well. The Play services are "regular" apps with permissions that you can take away. For contacts and files you get "scopes", i.e. you decide what the app c

There is the option to register the signing key of the ROM with the bootloader and then relocking it, thereby making those apps happy again. The biggest issue is that there is a different way to do this for every device, so most custom ROMs

That's pretty much my impression of the post, too. It has a spark of profound thought "Generative AI will obscure the path to truth" combined with a lot of conspiracy-theory-grade, flimsy analysis.

There is no legislation here. CUII is a private organization that generates lists of domains that contain copyright violations. ISPs voluntarily choose to block those.

Besides being a great project, this device reminds me a lot of the Technifant ( https://technifant.de ) which, under the hood, is similarly simple. The "hats" that you put on the Technifant contain a cheap USB thumb driv

For me personally at least a few aspects about this are efficiency and control: The number of CPU cycles my current android phone burns through just to boot and get ready to accept my "first useful input" is probably in the same o

I have a OnePlus 6 becoming "free" soon and I will definitely give PostmarketOS a shot (I had a glance at their compatibility list and noticed the OP6 is on there). Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

Now imagine that knife stabbings became so common that almost everyone started wearing body armor and you start selling body armor defeating knives explicitly. I can honestly see why most people would be upset about that.

In a roughly two-week window of not having adblock enabled, I have seen a ton of "politics-adjacent" ads in Germany. They'd usually start off with something that will get right-wing nuts excited ("This Green Party politi

1) I'm reasonably confident that this issue is not an accident. Better compatibility / better specs won't help here, I'm afraid. 2) A reference implementation for browser-features is an insanely complex project. Already

In most videos, there'll be a whistle-blow that marks the point where the life guard in the video reacts to the drowning person. Upon clicking the right location, you are "graded" based on how quickly relative to the life gua

I like the general idea, but the page you linked explicitly states that it isn't meant to be used to hide (user) IDs, or actually encrypt data.

I have to admit that those dark patterns on Amazon already saved me a good amount of money. For every order, I have to confirm that I don't want Prime (an estimated) 3 times now. Usually between the second and third click I'm remi

Which basically means the same thing, as the main use of crypto right now is to avoid financial regulation.

TikTok and Instagram both limit comments to a single layer of "answering". I guess that's a "good" alternative if your goal is to prevent the evolution of deep discussion and instead get people to move on and scroll

The big issue here (provided that I'm reading the PR correctly) is that it's purely for arrays of the primitive number types. Whereas most real applications (that I've seen) will be sorting objects by some (potentially comput

I brew it just like any regular herbal tea and I'm pretty happy with it. The whole ritual with the pipe and gourd is a bonus, but never required. If you dislike the more bitter flavors about it, try steeping it at a lower temperature (

There is still a difference between leaving out special cases to give more succinct advice and going out of your way to repeat the words "never"/"ever" three times to imply the absolute absense of any exceptions.

That's a big thing with Julia actually. A lot of people first getting into it criticise it for its use of 1-based indexing (I'm not the biggest fan of it either tbh), but in reality, there are very few cases in which you actually

Nah, it's definitely true. I have seen plenty of (especially larger-format) TVs where, with "game mode" (or the respective equivalent) disabled, it's unbearable to even do latency-forgiving tasks like office work on them

In principle, yes. With webGPU (but also WebGL2) we get access to compute shaders, which makes it feasible/easier to evaluate a model like Stable Diffusion. The biggest issue I see is that those models (or rather their trained paramete

Each community decides among themselves which technologies will help them strengthen their community rather than weaken it and thus be allowed to use. That's how you end up with things like horse-drawn carriages with electric lighting
