That's a very useful tip. I use Firefox + NoScript + JS disabled by default as well, and have made my peace with lots of sites being unreadable if I don't temporarily disable NoScript for that site, but the No Style trick is a gam

Very disappointing that they did this. Apparently AdAge posted a video bragging about what they did, which is how Wikipedia caught on. https://adage.com/creativity/work/north-face-top-imagens/217... Warning:

I agree that a very strict version of this is too draconian for most workplaces, but depending on the person's role and how many times they've failed a phish test I think it's reasonable to have consequences. For positions wh

I don't think this is a fair criticism in this particular case. I ride the Caltrain and Bart 5 days a week, for about 3 hours per day. I have never once seen a train car where everyone was looking at their phones. I see people talking

I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that I thought your first sentence was about money; turns out both 'currency' and 'currentness' can refer to 'the state of being current'.

On the CPU, matrix multiplication follows the same procedure you'd use to multiply matrices by hand. But GPUs are good at performing the same operation on a bunch of data at the same time. Any operation that is embarrassingly parallel

Does Polar support audio books, .epub files, etc? My impression is that its mostly intended for .pdf files and HTML pages, and isn't meant to be a drop-in replacement for Calibre at all. With that said, the annotation support and integ

I don't think this is correct. In the Calibre repository on Github, there is a page on the progress being made porting to Python 3[0], and a pull request that tracked the progress and has been merged into master[1]. [0] https:/&#

If the program continued to only support Python 2, the plugins you mentioned in your post would need to be written in a language which most operating systems soon won't have an interpreter for, or will require jumping through hoops to

Very cool. Do you know what the timeline is for getting the contents of master into the version packaged for apt? On the topic of `ls` making many more syscalls than `nnn`, its interesting that `nnn` is using the `newfstatat` syscall. Is th

Do you mean that you have an alias like this: alias d='ls' Or is there a program called `d` that is a faster version of `ls` that you're aliasing `ls` to?

by eindiran 7y ago
I just downloaded `nnn` from apt and I am not seeing this performance at all. `ls` is blazingly faster than `nnn` on this machine. I am seeing a speedup over `ranger`, but both are taking quite a while for a directory with 196388 files in i

The point there is that it's not necessarily obvious that sign languages would have phonology or morhphology or syntax, but once you've realized that that's true it absolutely does follow that they are as expressive (in the t

ASL and other sign languages are literally languages. There are linguists that study how subfields in linguistics that traditionally only applied to spoken languages (e.g. phonology) have analogues in sign languages[0], so its now widely ap
