The Liberals have been elected 4 times in a row. They don't even hide the fact they're hostile to the needs and cares of Canadian citizens since we're the idiots who keep electing them. CBC pushes some propaganda about how

Not that slow. It's certainly a bit faster than, say, VTE, and maybe even quicker than Wezterm, Kitty just feels faster when rendering editors or TUIs with a lot happening...

Lol sounds like my country (Canada). We're in a recession caused by the current government's 11 years of mismanagement but approval ratings are higher than ever because our government just blames the US. Meanwhile the gap between

Lol in Canada 64,000 pounds = $120K CAD which would put you in the 92nd income percentile.

Not tools but my Quickshell config. Of course AI made a ton of mistakes so I cleaned it up a lot myself. But I was able to go from not having ever written a line of QML nor reading the docs to having a working top bar pretty quickly.

This. Ghostty is significantly slower than Kitty on my Arch setup. It's still fast enough I guess, but no reason to switch from Kitty for me.

If websites can block or restrict underage users based on data they receive, bad actor websites can target underage users specifically. To say nothing of the fact kids will obviously bypass it as well.

As someone with less than stellar knees who skis a lot, ski/ride powder. It's way easier on the body and more fun too. And maybe skip the big jumps. You can definitely still ride big/steep enough mountains for a big adrena

Terminal tools are nice because keyboard shortcuts and text commands are quicker than clicking through menus and pressing buttons. For certain types of work (programming for example) this is much quicker and more comfortable than GUI inter

At least Apple tells you they don't support anything except their own OS, Qualcomm just pretends to offer support.

Too bad Qualcomm provides shit drivers for Linux, never updates any of their drivers (had a Samsung/Qualcomm phone with drivers years behind the equivalent Google Pixel phone), etc... They are the absolute worst actor in the entire co

Knowing how it works means knowing that it'll always hallucinate and will never be more than the sum of its parts. That being said, there are positives. It does things today, albeit imperfectly; I use it like a supercharged search eng

A big part of people having lots of kids was infant mortality, the need for physical labour (farming) and lack of old age security (kids take care of parents). All 3 of these issues are mostly gone so now parents try to focus resources int

Honestly, the "modern" UI (Live tiles) was unironically the best part of Windows 8.

> And yes, my pun which you didn't get just says: Building rockets isn't hard. No I get it except it's a ridiculous take. Building rockets is objectively hard. > In Germany alone there are 3 rocket companies + 1 space

Why should people invest in SpaceX? Because they're going to be propped up by the US government for a long time. Nations need a way to get to space. SpaceX has launched more rockets than anyone in the last few years. Including 3x m

Whoops somehow I missed the 63%. Either way, it's still too slow to be considered production ready. Hare is the only real example of a QBE based language but why put up with something that's C-like with manual memory management

"Less work" is productivity. Economists are absolutely obsessed with it. Now, as far as reducing the hours we work, there's a problem. If we decide to take our productivity gains to work only 20 hours per week, someone else

Those countries are all significantly richer per capita than China. Especially somewhere like Czechia, which has already passed several Western European countries in wealth. How much richer do you think Czechia and Poland would be if they

Well according to this it's currently around 40% as fast as gcc -O2...

> They don't. If they did, we would have made massive investments in Eastern Europe after the fall of the Marxist-Leninist governments there. Ummm, what? Have you been to Eastern Europe lately (minus Ukraine, Belarus and Russia)?

It's a collaboration with Microsoft so going to say no, probably not.

Racket is cool, has nice features, simpler than Common Lisp and comes with an editor which is nice. I'm always somewhat jealous and want to use it. But it's really hard to give up the raw power of Common Lisp and ability to write

The problem is, discoveries that advance humanity are made by 0.01% of humans or less. The majority of people don't ever discover anything new, they just build or consume what already exists. AI is, at best, as useful as those masses.

It's hard to justify Framework 12 existing. Framework 16 too. What's the point of making 3 different modular laptops where most of the pieces are specific to the model? You can't move the mobo or any component really from o

It's easy. Omarchy provides an ISO image. Cloudflare's "sponsorship" is just providing servers from which you can download said images. The difference from a "set of dot files" is that you can download a full

If CachyOS or Kubuntu are distros why isn't Omarchy? There's tons of "distros" that piggyback on others...

In market cap maybe but in total units sold? In importance? ~70% of PCs/servers sold have Intel chips in them.
