   Nah, Chrome is larger than that. I built NixOS 22.11 from source and Chromium took over 6 hours on a Ryzen 7 3800XT with 32GB of RAM. Had to run the build on spinning rust though, because neither my SSD and certainly not my tmpfs were large

   I imagine that it made more sense when your update cycle involved the postal system and took months.

   Ironic choice, coming from a dictionary that regularly redefines words in service of political aims.

   Quite likely - see this discussion on whether to reify an explicit torsor concept in the design of Haskell's time libraries: https://old.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/j9hfnd/torsors_in_...

   Lenses, and going from lenses to optics more generally. You start with what looks like a bad reinvention of "dot notation" to deal with updates on nested records, but then as you generalise, it turns into a deep well to draw from.

   And then all that "definitely going to be used for contact tracing only" data got shared around with the police.

    I say to people that Linux is now the most usable of the big three. And not because it's improved.

    I've been paying for years, because I agree with these principles. It's a good service.

    I did a similar thing with my family: I'd hooked a GNU/Linux box up to the family Hi-Fi system to play our various music libraries, and when I was living overseas I'd "call them" by ssh-ing in and asking mpd to star

    You're thinking of the frequent flyer programs. An airline, via its FF program, is a proprietary central bank that sometimes flies people (and occasionally, even their luggage!) from A to B.

    If you ban all other forms of advertising, you will get fake "friends" trying to sell you stuff. I suppose "influencers" and MLMs are existing versions of this, but they are rightly seen as tacky and parasocial. Do you r

    The Fitt's Law benefits decrease with the distance you have to travel to reach the bar, though. It always takes me several gestures on mouse or trackpad to reach the top bar on modern display resolutions. Better to just have good accel

    Remember also that about 1/3 of Australia just had their PII leaked because one of the nation's biggest telcos couldn't do basic isolation between dev and prod.

    For now. And the move to "eSIMs" will be a one-way door. There's a reason embrace, extend, extinguish works as a strategy.

    Very exciting. Are there plans to maintain the bootstrap path over the longer term? It always makes me sad when I hear about compilers which must bootstrap from magic binary blobs.

    FRP is a fascinating paradigm, but I find I really have to turn my brain inside-out to "get" it. But it's really cool to have UIs that are completely consistent.

    It's a loop knot made using a figure-8, then retracing the knot with the tail. Climbers use it where sailors would tend to use a bowline. I've heard various reasons why: "it's easier to teach people in the gym", &qu
