Good to know. The news always seems to find footage of destroyed suburbs whenever the US is hit by a big one.

It’s possible that solve the hurricane problems with proper building regulations and lower the risk of huge wildfires with controlled burning. But the US as always prefers to pretend that there’s nothing to be done when other parts of the w

The compression and ARC will make games load much master than they would on NTFS even without having a separate drive for the ARC.

Much faster launch of applications/files you use regularly. Ability to always rollback updates in seconds if they cause issues thanks to snapshots. Fast backups with snapshots + zfs send/receive to a remote machine. Compressed dis

I have been using ZFS on Mint and Alpine Linux for years for all drives (including root) and have never had an issue. It's been fantastic and is super fast. My linux/zfs laptop loads games much faster than an identical machine run

Where I was we had a self-service system as well that the university was very proud of. It's just that a lot of the things you could do on there would create a task for a human on the backend instead of having the computer just do it.

Having worked in university administration before I would say that anyone who lasts as a manager is a professional politician, so expect them to have engineered a very good reason and possibly have allied with another department. As manager

Focus on graduating. Accept that you have lost, take the offer. It's unlikely that you will have to do more than attend a few meetings and write some emails, possibly provide some code samples. The goal is likely not a complete working

Yep, pay is directly tied to how many people are under you. And it should be no surprise that this is how it works. The operational side is hired by the academic side which is even more crazy. It's made up mostly of people who have nev

lolz. Having worked at a university your job isn't to get shit done. Your job is to make managers happy, usually by attending meetings, being knowledgeable, polite and always available. Your manager's job is to inflate headcount f

I really don't see a difference between upsell and 3rd party ads. I stopped using Evernote (was a paying subscriber) because I got annoyed by constantly having ads for their other services shoved in my face.

by chillfox 2y ago
It's absolutely still an ad; ads sometimes include samples, like when they hand out small bites in the supermarket, those might be tasty ads, but they are still ads.

I don't mind new features, but I do very much mind when those new features change the UI, upend how things work or just add clutter. Not invasive is a good way of putting it, I don't mind new features that are not invasive.

I sometimes feel like an edge case detector. Anyway, It has been some years since I last used IMAP. I had issues with Outlook, Thunderbird and Nylas N1 while connecting to Gmail, Exchange and Office365. It was a fairly small mailbox getting

Nope, IMAP can't provide the kind of smooth reliable experience that the Fastmail mobile app provides. Now they obviously could have done it in many different ways, but I know from experience with IMAP that it can't do it. The amo

As one of their customers, I really appreciate that they don't upend everything all the time with pointless features. Constantly reinventing things and piling on pointless features is one of the things I dislike most about Google, thei

Sure, but I imagine the reason you haven't started your own company to do it is you need 10s of millions in compute, so the price would be 500k + 10s of millions... Or you can't actually do it and are just talking shit on the inte

lolz, I doubt very much anyone would want to pay you $500k to perform magic. Basically, I think you are coming across as someone who is trying to sound clever rather than being clever.

Seriously... The ability to identify what physics/math theories the AI should apply and being able to make the AI actually apply those are very different things. And you don't seem to understand that distinction.

The normal business model for free to play games is that a small number of people pay a lot of money for cosmetics or convenience, this finances the game and is how the company makes its money. The free players then provide value by being t

There are very few tutorials on how to do testing and I don't think I have ever seen one that was great. Compared to general coding stuff where there's great tutorials available for all the most common things. So I think quality t

If I wasn't busy playing with AI stuff then I would be very tempted to build my own password manager cloud service, it feels like a chance to shine shows up at least once every two years in that space. I don't know what it is, but

I found that gpt-4-turbo beat gpt-4o pretty consistently for coding tasks, but claude-3.5-sonnet beat both of them, so it's what I have been using most of the time. gpt-4o-mini is adequate for summarizing text.

Awesome, I am really looking forward to the new api and plugins. I have been running an instance for almost 2 years now that I use for archiving articles that I reference in my notes.

oh, that's cool.

Yeah, it was several years ago, so I can't remember what my issue with it was, just that it didn't feel anywhere close to as nice or polished as the base system. Anyway, looks like the project is dead now (the github repo is archi

I used to use FreeBSD, but went to Alpine Linux because jails were too hard/much work to setup and configure (especially the network). Basically all I really want is docker compose.

I think this is for blogs/sales pages using shared hosting maybe also people who likes sharing images on forums. Uploading an image and then copy pasting the link looks a lot easier than navigating CloudFlare or AWS. Basically, if you
