Parenthood. Now I see how much my mom was right, but couldn't put things in proper words.

No basis. OP gave one anecdote, I gave another one. They seem to contradict each other. That's my point - they are both just anecdotes.

I think at least some part of the effect for you is placebo for sure. I'm sure not all of it or even the most of it. My wife has lower then normal for women testosterone levels, but she always have been a bit less girly then other fema

When someone defends use of Electron they usually say it helps productivity so much, that the application would not be created if it would have to be done with a more conservative technology stack. I like to write my personal projects using

98% of those predictions will fail. The remaining 2% will have a somewhat different scope than the author intended, including this one.

As much as I like suckless software (not necessarily the community) it is a pretty contentless article: - I like Suckless - I like Alpine - I like Void more now - Here's a script

What do you mean? It is not a blog post, those are release notes, that do not seem to me to be relevant to my comment.

For me a little disadvantage of Meson is that it is implemented in Python. With my interest in minimal systems and bootstrapping I would hope that it would get to be reimplemented in something easier to bootstrap or (maybe preferable) Pytho

Oh, yes indeed. I forgot about that.

I am sure it comes down to economics really, but I do wonder now about a mission in far future, that would clean solar panels of all those older missions to make them work again. For shits and giggles I guess.

I will tell about my most recent more significant hack. I was building a Yocto image and it failed, because it filled remaining space of my 128G disk. I run some diagnostics. ncdu showed clearly that it is all Yocto builds. Then remembering

Consistency is the only thing that matters. You would not be happy if things would shuffle in the retail store every time you go in, would you? Of course, there are things that are shuffled around, but you can always count on fresh-produce,

With this logic we don't need IT policies, because I just don't run malicious executables. Thanks to that I can run a graphical session with root.

Most certainly not, because they would not work long enough.

I liked to play the SimCopter demo and thanks to it Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries still remind me of the game. I suspected (or maybe just hoped) that you could somehow import SimCity 2000 cities (I had the original boxed release, the

I weep for mouseover tooltips, for actual offline and searchable documentation with full index, for this little question mark button on the title bar.

AFAIU BPF does not have loops as it is designed to be assured the execution has an end.

In prose yes. However there is a structure to dialoge, that is hard to miss, you also have indentations, sections and chapters. Many books have lists for example, but it is usually not prose.

I'm not a lisper by any measure. I want to dabble at one point in Scheme and I got to do slightly more than take a look with some basic tutorials. I find the example from Friedman the most readable by far. It is probably also the only

It is, but it just reminded me of this other bit. Sorry if I was a bit too off topic. I just see those improvements on the sidelines and I'm glad.

For a few months now I saw a huge improvement on Linux regarding the memory management of Firefox. Previously I had to run Firefox in a separate cgroup to limit its memory usage, because it could easily deplete my whole RAM. And if I did cl

I lately wonder about Japanese or Italian cuisine. Those nations are around the top for longevity of life - at least some specific parts of the population. If the diet has a significant part in this I have a silly theory: they make their fo

Is it other part of the workforce that gets laid off recently from the recently widely reported labor shortage?

Or with a thicker cable they could charge cars while they cross the channel.

Great idea. However always recording is a disadvantage for me. I thought about a device that could look a bit like Star Trek badge. It should react to pushing it slightly and it would have a microphone. It would connect to a phone with Blue

When a river gets polluted people do not think strongly enough to change. Now, why is that and why we still should strive to do better?

For simple C or C++ programs I add this snippet at the beginning of the file: #if 0 set -e; [ "$0" -nt "$0.bin" ] && gcc -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -std=c99 "$0" -o "$0.bin" exec "

I had exactly this in mind. Mostly if I wouldn't trust the author with binaries I wouldn't really trust with source code either.
