I heard that "the distinctive San Francisco sourdough flavor" was due to the water. The Hetchhetchy water in SF has a very distinctive taste. One of the only cities I go to regularly where the tap water tastes amazing

"This is a huge difference from BitTorrent where the only way to get content is to run your own software, and when you download something you also share it, by default." As far as I understand this isn't a solved technical pr

Oh woah! Fascinating. Thanks for that

I think Google is actively against offline data. It's not aligned with their business interests My mental analogy is, you can also have offline apps on Android. You can specify this in app manifest. But internet access isn't expos

It feels like a bit of doomed a project simply bc browsers don't open EPubs. You can link a PDF and while it's a bit of a context switch, the browser will open and display it Since as described EPubs are basically HTML its kinda d

It's less about transfer fees. I'm not saying you should make microtransactions to visit webpages. I'm more imagining a mining-pool made up of webpage visitors. The website allocates you certain blocks of hashes to be calcula

that was literally what the parent comment said: "This is why ads are the only viable business model". No alternative to ads has been really made viable. Fattr shutting down makes the point

by geokon 3y ago
it's got some downsides - but so does the alternative. Have you considered the harmful effects of advertisement on society? I think people's cellphone warming up a bit is a smaller price to pay

Why is it banditry.. you can opt out of going to the website. I think you're not looking at the alternative objectively.. Ads are pure brain rot that just make society worse while providing virtually nothing useful to "the user&qu

I know HN froths at the mouth on this topic.. But Cryptominers/Hashcash are also an alternative. It's only been made non-viable due to the major players who depend on ad-supremacy making sure all browsers fingerprint and block the

Not to put to down the author, just trying to understand it better - But the tasks described in the link seem a bit trivial. I can already write a Asciidoc file, tag it, and add links to other .adoc files. Are tools like Obsidian/Logse

Oh right, that's a very good point. I've only use LTS for years. Forgot about rolling releases haha

Wouldn't all those examples also work just as easily with torrents/magnet-links? I think in all those cases a central server distribution model has unfortunately been "good enough" for the majority of users (even though

More broadly, non-Electron apps have been uncommon for a while. I just don't work in the webspace and I need to write code that's relatively performant b/c it involves some numbercrunching. I understand it's all possible

Hmmm，yeah I should really just try GraalVM. JavaFX finally supports it. I just remmeber it was a bit unclear how to hook it up with Clojure/deps.edn but I'm sure the tooling has evolved since I last looked Some day they'll in

okay, Launch4j is new to me - but this seems to only work for Windows I find the whole situation a bit silly, bc obviously it's creating an executable under the hood somewhere. The official tools just don't expose it to you. I thi

could you give me a link on how it's done? I looked into this extensively and there was no way to bundle an .exe . It was a 2-3 years ago so maybe things have changed

by geokon 3y ago
Right, both lein and depstar (or whatever the latest deps.edn one is) make uberjars. And this works great on Linux - which I'm pretty sure is the dev platform for almost all Clojurists. Linux distros basically always come with a OpenJD

by geokon 3y ago
Overall I agree.. I like not having native code.. I run the JVM so I don't have to worry about platform specific stuff. But this would be more-so an issue in the Java 8 world where your uberjar needs to have lib blobs for every platfor

Does anyone have any resource on which features are broken across implementations? How to stay sane with SVG? I recently made the mistake of making a complex conference poster using SVG. It now renders different in every browser and program

I just don't think it's really relevant. If the research is impactful, then it'll be replicated (at least in part) when the next person tries to build on the results. If it doesn't replicate then they'll probably en

by geokon 3y ago
If you fail to reproduce some important research then I think that would absolutely get published. (see the recent superconductor drama) So if you feel some impactful work is suspicious .. I think disproving it would absolutely be incentivi

it's one of those things that will probably work most of the time PPAs are built against Ubuntu packages as dependencies - which usually but not always match Debian ones. Easy way to get subtly broken programs

by geokon 3y ago
Except it doesn't really have PPAs ... which limits outside contribution and is a huge downside

did not know that! The Apple webpage somehow threw me off. Thanks. Would be a bit hard downgrade from a 16inch 3:2, but I'll keep it as an option if I need to get a new laptop at some point

Honest question，but how do you live with 8GB or RAM? I have 16 now and I run out regularly without doing anything too crazy (though in large part because Emacs and CIDER leak memory like crazy) Doesn't having to close background applic
