This is for porting an existing project. It’s an ideal case for LLMs. The results are still pretty different for building up a library from scratch. However this changes the economics for languages with smaller ecosystems!

Seems like an electric vehicle that could serve as an electricity backup might actually be more useful for you than not.

It also appears this Herman law allows “no knock” search warrants, which in the US are generally considered more serious and more restricted.

It would be convenient to have an unwant in common English. However plenty of children manage to express their utter -10 want of vegetables rather too well. ;)

You could try Codex cli. I prefer it over Claude code now, but only slightly.

I was looking for this comment. For example Microsoft Teams and Office 365 make me feel something, but it’s not joy.

A favorite tidbit I learned years ago was that the Chinese invented Law and Order genre pretty much before anyone else. Very much an establishment wins genre. Here’s the Google summary: > Early Chinese detective stories, known as gong&#x

I recall reading some research which indicated that daily dosage resulted in slightly better protections against cancer. Though better than not taking it at all. I just got more 5000IU at Walmart which was a nice surprise. Normally I take t

Well not the only one, there’s Musk and Neurolink. Such chips will inevitably run AI of some sort to effectively communicate with our brains.

The compiler can still enforce checks, such as with nil checks for pointers. In my opinion it’s overall cleaner if the compiler handles enforcing it when it can. Something like “ensure variable is initialized” can just be another compiler c

Similar for me. Wayland ran super fast which was great. But konqueror refused to open. Then crashed when I opened discord. No thanks.

Looks like some sort of power supply converter? Maybe a USB-C power splitter.

And KDE on X11 on FreeBSD seems pretty stable so far. Feels super snappy so far.

I tried Wayland earlier today on my home lab with Plasma and FreeBSD. It seemed pretty great for a bit and ran my monitor at 120Hz. Until it hard crashed my machine after I opened discord in firefox. Konqueror crashed on opening.

Hate to admit it but I sorta miss the evil M$SFT days. At least Windows was the product then.

Emacs even has its own Vim emulator to solve Emacs lack of an editor!

It'd be awesome to run something like this headless, maybe with a frame buffer. I setup my home lab with Freebsd recently and it's just sitting there without a cool CRT screen. :/

IMHO the real key of message passing is localized decision making on a specific instance of data. Similarly message passing allows an actor to decide how to respond to an event, to forward a message, to ignore it, etc. That's possibl

As another aspect we're seeing governments and the system elites craving for more power and control than ever. I know it's borderline conspiracy theorist but I fear that the COVID-19 lockdowns with the surveillance systems and con

Agreed it seems like a link layer issue to resolve. Definitely better than just sending out duplicates.

Aren’t fec codes already used in satellite transmissions? I recall reading the patents around fec codes had something to do with the satellite industry.

The Odroid H4 is an amd65 board like the N150 NUC. So the kernel should be standard amd64.

Unless you're running Alpine Linux or similar of course. Nowadays the GNU tools make up a small (if important) part of a Linux distro. There's also alternatives.

I can't read the article unfortunately. However nicotine also seems somewhat palliative to a range of mental illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar, anxiety, etc. I once read a paper that said something like 90% of schizophrenics were c
