I think the universities themselves are a problem, regardless of the societal aspect. How I think about it: Let us say, as a though experiment, that two things are true. 1. Outside of the university orgs, absolutely no one cares if the univ

No. demetris’ benchmark of lossless image compression is not a sign that the situation may be changing. :-D That was just the context for some reading I did to understand where we are now. > BTW, I don't see how Mozilla's inter

I did some reading recently, for a benchmark I was setting up, to try and understand what the situation is. It seems things have started changing in the last year or so. Some links from my notes: https://www.phoronix.com/new

The Rust rewrites can become tiresome, they have become a meme at this point, but there are really good tools there too. An example from my personal experience: I used to think that oxipng was just a faster optipng. I took a closer look rec

Many are available on Windows too. I know I have hyperfine, fd, and eza on my Windows 11, and maybe some more I cannot remember right now. They are super easy to install too, using winget.

Why is the website antiquated and the URL bizarro? The homepage and the downloads page both seem fine to me. (BTW, the collection of one-player puzzle games is super!)

Another thing to watch for is whether you actually need debouncing. For example, debouncing is often recommended for handlers of the resize event, but, in most cases, it is not needed for handlers of observations coming from ResizeObserver.

Ahahahaha! The reply writes itself, doesn’t it? :-D I like GNOME more though, in general. I just want GNOME without some of the unfathomable stuff, and with the progress KDE has made with Wayland.

I am not saying Astro is innovative and I don’t think I implied that in my reply. I don’t view Astro as innovative and I don’t understand people who view it like that because of, say, its islands. (We knew about islands before Astro.) As yo

The Mullenweg/WPE thing is the one I recommend: https://gist.github.com/adrienne/aea9dd7ca19c8985157d9c42f7f... It is a chronology published as a GitHub gist.

I don’t think it is possible to get the consumption of T450s on X220. The T450s generation (and the generation before it) use ULV processors (ultra low voltage). The processors used in the T450s generation have a TLP of 15W. The processors
