I'm also intrigued thinking about a post-meat existence. But I think that while time will then not be measured in hours or days, we will be counting down the total energy available to us from Sol, and if it will suffice to bring us to

An ocean with large pockets of powerful currents that are very hard to swim against, to stay in the image. Yes, everything is qualia/sensation/thought, and I get the appeal of the concept of "OMG, by me writing this and you r

I feel this is an overly simplistic view of depression. I imagine there's a thousand reasons for a state like depression to emerge — some, but not all of them external. I think the Venn diagram of people with depression and people whos

I think phone OSes just do DPI scaling better, because they've always had to deal with highly heterogeneous physical screen sizes. Desktops were firmly in 96DPI land for quite a while. I'd wager that if your screen pixels are &quo

german here. i’ve been to some anti-nuclear protests in my time, and i still think it’s dangerous technology. i still think it should not be termed “sustainable”, mainly because of the unsolved waste question, but also in a small part becau

Having studied both mechanical and software engineering at uni, I feel that you _can_ make the parallel between the two. It's just that in mechanical engineering we've converged a lot more over time. Out of convention and need for

Interesting. On the iPad on Firefox in the link preview when long-pressing the link it shows "Hello World", but "Hello Apple" when actually opened. On the same iPad in Safari, it says "Hello Apple" both in the

I am a huge Syncthing fan. I even recommend it to non-techie friends, and (after a bit of initial hesitance from having to learn the concepts) they are quite fond of it too, especially as a smartphone backup solution. It's especially u

yes the .stfolder is a minor nuisance most of the time, but it's a lifesaver if for some reason or other your folder gets removed or a mounted device is no longer there, or one of a hundred other things that can go wrong with a folder.

The Signal desktop client has always continued to work even when the phone was off.

In German "hrmpf" is an exclamation and expression of frustration, with a possible connotation of acceptance that something has indeed gone wrong. So it’s a very apt name for a rescue system :)

tabnine works quite similarly to copilot. it's not a thing that "knows about types and libraries", it's a similar predictive machine learning method as copilot seems to use.

It says in the article that they're fairly recent (around 150 years ago). So agriculture seems likely.

Interesting, I sync many Git repos, and they all work just fine. I even shared some with other people (to co-author). It all worked splendidly.

Shoelaces can be done without using plastic. Plastic-free velcro seems at least unlikely.

I think the parent had the temperature and oxygen levels at various altitudes in mind, not the survival rate of falling.

I wrote a similar plugin for sublimetext. If there's interest I'll make an effort to publish it.

Not really. There's not much Signal-protocol-specific technology involved on the proxy, other than dropping traffic that doesn't go towards the Signal server itself.

I put all the code (that I can) under CC0 because I would like to have zero strings attached to reusing it. “Public domain” feels nice. Also I don’t really believe in the concept of authorship, so I want to disavow it as much as possible.

This could be a metaphor for how a greenfield project turns into a tiresome upkeep effort, after the initial creativity gets further and further buried under the maintenance strain.

Wow, I didn't know it was this recent. My gf introduced me to aquafaba, but I just assumed it was ancient middle-eastern kitchen lore, because... well, chick-peas are used there a lot. So it seems these are good times for vegans.

It looks like they implemented a read only version of the App with worse UI, and scary used-by-criminals framing. This is not newsworthy, there are normal tools that do similar things: https://github.com/xeals/signal-ba

Very very cool :) Three observations: - Why have a vertical limit when rotating in 3D? I have to click on 2D to look directly top-down. This would be the natural result if I simply tilted the camera all the way downward, but instead it maxe
