Cheese Paper is written in rust. That's reason enough to give it a try. Manuskript may have more features if you need them, but it's written in python+js, and has a more obtuse file format. There's also novelWriter which is

A lot of us who grew up pre-social-media agree in principle. What it fails to account for is that today's internet is qualitatively different from the pre-social-media, pre-smartphone internet. The vast majority of the internet audie

If you can get it out of the tank, you can prevent further runaway polymerization by adding an inhibitor like hydroquinone. I don't understand why a storage tank for this stuff doesn't have an injection port, independent from any

If the dev's working tree isn't exactly what they checked in, how do they build or test the commit? Do they YOLO a partial commit and wait for it to be accepted or rejected by the CI? Isn't that a problem to be solved by im

The article is rather explicit that the acquittal is only about tax year 2011. She already settled a case about her taxes from 2012-2014 by paying a €7.3m fine. Her first child was born in January 2013.

When there's an expectation or requirement that each commit builds (and even passes tests), how can you do partial commits? Do you work exclusively on projects without such requirements? Do you rely solely on CI to ensure that your c

Secure rot* variants require UTF-8 and mappings that shift characters between {1,2,3,4}-byte encoded-character-sizes. That varies the message length, which prevents any message-length or traffic analysis. The Snowden leaks revealed that th

I only noticed after more than an hour with the page left open in a tab. Is it really streaming and re-streaming the same videos? There's too much to cache so it keeps re-transferring them indefinitely? I hope nobody leaves that page

They would be a solution if almost all parents used them, but parents don't want to socially isolate their kids since a lot of "social" activity is now on social media. It's kind of a prisoner's dilemma. There&#x27

I don't know... after they found a high profile bug like copyfail, I wouldn't attribute not looking for similar bugs to them being overly dependent on AI. It's easy to stop exploring, for a while at least, after you've

Tell me how to test a human for consciousness, and I'll tell you how to test an LLM for it. I'm not even talking about people in comas. Give me an objective test that I can take into a retirement home and run on all the awake, a

His positions on religion and AI seem consistent to me. Whether AI is or isn't sentient is more of a definitional claim, and how low a bar you set for human consciousness. It has essentially nothing to do with with questions about the

If you don't believe sentience is supernatural, why would that comparison be meaningful?

Ethernet is different in part because it's for much longer cable runs (both average and maximum) than usb is. It's a lot easier to maintain signal integrity for 10 gbps or 40 gbps when you're dealing with a few meters maximu

Yes. Distros (point release distros) should use LTS kernels and keep up to date with them. Their "we'll maintain our own kernel branches" model either leads to many missed bugfixes, or duplicates Greg K-H's workload int

Where's the evidence that 1024kb's issue had anything to do with bw? How is that vaguely recalled anecdote a trust issue with bw? It was probably caused by accidentally copying something to the clipboard or some other buffer whi

It's crazy because it's not default bw behavior, or even any bw behavior... I don't use the cli, but I don't see any built-in capacity to copy bw output to the clipboard. (In the UNIX way, you'd normally pipe it to

Using DUP as the metadata profile sounds insane. Changing the metadata profile to at least raid1 (raid1, raid1c3, raid1c4) is a good idea, especially for anyone, against recommendations, using raid5 or raid6 for a btrfs array (raid1c3 is mo

Where are you seeing people being told that AI is infallible? AI is being hyped to the moon, but "infallible" is not one of the claims. To the extent people trust AI to be infallible, it's just laziness and rapport (AI is ra
