I first used Arch over ten years ago and nobody told me about archinstall until a few weeks ago! I was using Ubuntu out of laziness because I was tired of manually installing Arch every time I got a new machine (until now, I use Arch (again

yes and it's deeply ironic that you just quoted an American film which was satirizing that attitude twenty years ago! if anything I feel like Americans have become extremely self loathing in the passing generation since the release of

REAL-TIME multiplayer is worse for that use case. There's no reason a game that is asynchronous, like an old school play by mail game, couldn't be fun for twenty minutes when you have time, and maybe there's a limit or a tur

weird implication that millennials only did it originally out of a desire to be cool, and are still doing it "to be cool" some people just like it more than alcohol, wtf

ah, someone has reimplemented another feature of Org Mode. Well, this will mean Org files exported to Markdown can remain executable just like they were in Emacs, so maybe this makes Org Babel more valuable as well, for those of us that pre

Is there some naming of Castro that I'm unaware of or is this application named after a murderous dictator just for fun? Might as well name it Stalin.

I have kind of a crummy mind's eye, so my mind spontaneously produces vague "fantasy mechanisms" that seem to float in a void and interact with one another in some way that is analogous to the program, but there's no coh

Well, your anecdote is completely contrary to mine. Image search has always worked great for me and it's easier to save the image because Kagi doesn't play games with the source of the image like Google Images does. It's Goog

I love Emacs and magit and use them myself but this advice seems a little bit like telling someone looking to buy an airline ticket that the best way to get from coast to coast is to become a pilot It's true that the juice may be worth

this is such a wild take to me. why on earth are there complicated routing rules happening at the API gateway at all? In MY real world experience, the API gateway does some sort of very simple routing to various services and any complex aut
