I was in the market for a vinyl cutter/knife plotter a while back, and the fact I use linux on everything was my main reason for avoiding Cricut. Ended up finding out theres an open source inkscape plugin that interfaces with the silho

Admittedly, I try and stay away from database design whenever possible at work. (Everything database is legacy for us) But the way the term is being used here kinda makes me wonder, do modern sql databases have enough security features and

To me blink as a render engine is too closely coupled to Google. Even though technically chromium is disconnected and open source, the amount of leverage Google has is too high. I dread the possibility that gecko and webkit browsers truly d

I don't particularly care about mozilla so much as I care about Firefox, gecko, and the continued existence of at least ONE other browser. I don't want to use a blink based browser. If/When mozilla finally dies I don't h

This feels like a very indirect way of saying "yes the fourier transform of a signal is a breakdown of its component frequencies, but depending on the kind of signal you are trying to characterize for it might not be what you actually

Leaves me wondering if this will allow for superconducting cryogenic transistors? If my hobby level understanding of how silicon doping works, this new superconducting germanium would be a p-type? I could imagine something like ion implanta

This is rich coming from the company that scraped the entire internet and tons of pirated books and scientific papers to train their models. Maybe if you didn't scrape every single site on the internet they wouldn't have a basis f

I think the biggest thing that makes me distrust the news as it stands is that I feel like news reporting is far too prone to overly leveling debates. And by that I mean making both sides come across as equally credible, even when that coul

There are in fact two sided floppies! IIRC they behave a lot like the two sides of a cassette tape, the floppy reader only reads from one side at a time. A fun fact in that regard: the game Karateka (an actual game for the Apple II) had an

This is the kind of app I wouldn't believe could actually exist. Human rules are just so painfully complex and unwilling to agree with the concept of consistency. Insanely impressive that it works even just well enough that more than j

It makes perfect sense to me that nextcloud is a good fit for a small company. My biggest gripe with having used it for far longer than I should have was always that it expected far too much maintenance (4 month release cadence) to make sen

I've used nextcloud for close to I think 8 years now as a replacement for google drive. However my need for something like google drive has reduced massively, and nextcloud continues to be a massive maintenance pain due to its frustr

This is exactly why I always make it a point to discourage my friends from using dating apps. A dating app that is effective at solving the problem it is ostensibly designed to solve will never make money as people will be matched quickly a

Lean was a gamechanger for me as someone who has a "hobby" level interest in abstract mathematics. I don't have the formal education that would have cultivated the practice and repetition needed to just know on a gut level

Every time I have ever had the displeasure of looking at an X.whatever spec, I always end up coming away with the same conclusion. Somehow, despite these specifications being 90% metadata by weight, they seem to consistently forget the part

It could easily be the case that its just outside of the goals or scope of docx-rs, but I wonder. It would probably be pretty reasonable to add some kind of a catch-all "unknown" variant, that backs itself up with storing the name

The thing that finally made me realize just how fast file IO is today, is when I was looking into doing my own impl of 1brc in rust for practice. I had expected that without the ramdisk, that file IO would have been the bottleneck for my te

The initial motivation of LaTeX compile times being slow is very interesting to me. I use LaTeX as a tool for layout of books to print for hobby bookbinding and my current project - a 3 megabyte, 500k word beast of a novel - only takes arou

The mention of syn/serde being a compile time trap strengthens my feeling that having some better tools in the rust standard that make the job of syn/serde easier (compile time reflection being one of them) is probably the single

Yeah that's a good point to keep in mind. Chalk this up to a learning experience I guess.

Am I missing something or was this literally announced with less than 24 hours of warning that one of the critical components to the cyber security landscape was disappearing. What the fuck are you supposed to do about this. This is somethi

I think that the compilation flags utilized are needed in order to properly justify the validity of the microbenchmark here. At opt-level 2 and 3 rust completely optimizes away the interior loop, leaving just two instructions (plus a check

This is definitely going in my bookmarks. Though I think as long as video conversion requires uploading to a jobserver, you're probably better off just invoking ffmpeg directly. Would suffer a lot from upload and download times on file

The main place that I find notebooks useful is for when I want to hack away at some decently sized dataset and poke around at its details. A lot of transformations can be very time consuming to run, and the ability to cache(for lack of a be

I feel like it would be more ethically responsible for this site to put the warning it has at the top of the screen instead of the bottom. For no other reason than to be as clear as possible that this is an unproven but plausible treatment

the current pavement princess trends have left me doubting that any more regulation of any kind will happen in the US.
