Yeah, I know all the letters in English and it's a 50/50 if I read a word I haven't seen before correctly. I guess Hebrew is more phonetic, especially if written with nikud, so if you knew the letters you could probably read

People also look slightly different based on lighting and makeup. I'm guessing a LoRA trained on someone's face would be enough to get it consistent. Considering that people can make fakes with celebrity faces fairly consistently,

It's usually the scaling. If you're on 27" at 4k, you probably have some scaling enabled, anywhere from 1.25x to 2x, so less stuff fits on the screen. Since less stuff fits on the screen, less stuff gets rendered and performa

Bitbucket is not bad. It has features I miss in GitHub, particularly the larger selection of PR merge strategies so I can satisfy my git history OCD. Probably the Atlassian product I hate the least.

Totally agree, even have a similar anecdote. I managed to visit Angkor Wat in March 2020, when people were just starting to take COVID seriously and Chinese tourists couldn't travel anywhere. Quite a few times it was just me and my fri

I don't really keep up with the state of the art of vim, so I don't know what the community has shifted to doing in plugins, but in vim you have to go out of your way to override the base keys in your plugin buffer. I guess that m

That's great to hear. Way back in the day I played around with libgdx and xna and they made sense to me. The shift to unity killed any desire I had to try to make indie game experiments. The UI was confusing and I couldn't grok it

I see the limitations of vim an advantage not a disadvantage. Because everything is a buffer and the layout is just windows, the usual keys just work. It's one of the things I have about "real" IDEs with a vim mode. The one i

I've been on the other side of that interview, 2-3 years out of univeristy and asked to interview someone with 10-15 years experience, it was pretty awful. Before that I just interviewed either students (interns) or graduates and asked

You can still meet people today outside of dating apps. A good friend of mine met his gf at a surf hostel. I met my gf on a boat in the Maldives. I think most people would objectively say she is out of my league if they saw us in a photo to

I used to SSH from my moto droid to my university lab and work on my bus commute. Back when I cared, I would root my phone and install custom roms and had basically a fully functioning Linux environment. iptables worked and I would block ne

I buy cheap android phones with large batteries, it's pretty much my only criteria nowadays because everything else is good enough for me. The only time I get close to running out of battery is when I'm watching YouTube videos on

That would be ideal for me as well. I tried getting something similar to work and eventually gave up. I just game through Steam and let the preconfigured proton stuff handle everything.

The API and the search are probably the only positive things I can say about Jira. JQL is probably peak issue-tracker searching, I don't see how it can be improved. Maybe in 5 years from now LLMs can accept arbitrary input and find wha

Another Motorola Droid fanboy reporting in. I bought it as soon as it came out. It was truly the peak of mobile phone experience for me. If I could get the moto droid with updated hardware, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I'll be honest, I don't really get your reply. I was merely saying that adding a clause in the license is pretty pointless. The hypothetical user has already decided to break one (or more) law(s), they wouldn't even think twi

I believe the official reason is to be respectful to the dead, but I suspect there is a lot practicality to it as well. The tombs aren't that big, there isn't really room for crowds to stand around a guide while they explain stuff

This is absolutely amazing! Highlighting the hieroglyphs and explaining what they mean is amazing. Having been to the tombs, it was a bit annoying not knowing what anything meant. Lots of picture taking and then looking stuff up later + ask

Wikipedia is actually a pretty good source for this [0]. tl;dr it's not as simple as one drone makes X noise, so 2 drones make 2x noise. For that to happen, the drones need to be making noise at the same frequency and be perfectly in p
