I recommend Linux native and a MS Windows VM using livbirt/virt-manager unless you have need for GPU acceleration in your workflow. This way you can slowly migrate your software to the Linux side and maybe eventually forget to turn on

I don’t even mind logging in on a personal laptop but we have shared computers at work to operate machines. It does not make any sense to login with your account in one of those.

I just witnessed LLM (ab)use coming from one graduate student (not the first to do it and definitely not the last), where they submitted a conference paper draft for their coauthors and advisors to review short before a deadline, with compl

My observation is that in language learning there are always people that will come to correct or improve your method, say they have something better and tell you why you are wrong. It’s important to be a bit strong willed against this type

I had good experience with Xeus cling for a notebook interface.

That's quite different than what most folks are looking for when learning a new language, but I guess some techniques can apply just fine. You would have to take the lead find and prepare your own study material. Something like collect

I think I’m working at lower levels, but usually my flow is: - I start to build or refactor the code structure by myself creating the basic interfaces or skip to the next step when they already exist. I’ll use LLMs as autocomplete here. - I

Night and day improvement is relative. For example, last time I tried the iOS version had no localization to some languages, which the old one has, and not everyone can deal with an interface falling back to English.

Around a year ago I could do calls reliably on it, but recently I have been having a bad experience, I am not sure what changed.

I was considering moving from Slack (free version) to Teams (paid) for a new project starting in October because my workplace already have a license for that. Seems like it will have less features but no 90 day retention annoyances. You see

We’ve been using Raspberry Pis in CubeSats for a while, for LEO they are good enough for a year or two. It’s the common consumer grade SD cards that are the weakest point. There are more robust industrial grade SD cards and there are RPis w

If things keep going in the direction they are, there might not be a LineageOS at some point, and developing a useful alternative before that (Linux based) would be great.

But if you get a VPS your traffic will always be linked with a unique IP. VPNs have an advantage there.

That is a good way to see it. There is also the effect of "activation energy", we should decrease the effort it takes to start doing an activity we ought to be doing by manipulating our environment in its favor. The opposite is al

Maybe some never experienced an ad because they have been using an ad blocker since before ads on Youtube became a thing?

Probably in the long run the only way to go will be to own/carry two devices. A long supported phone with stock firmware and apps you are "forced" to use to interface with the world around you, and a second Linux portable mac

It is really easy, they could just take LTSC and market it to a different audience, and it would be 95% there. But they won’t, because they don’t care.

Even if you cannot recall and have to type in your phone first (as natives do often for unusual ones), at least you can write it much faster because you are not just copying. I think it’s useful to do RTK with SSR and, once you finishes, yo

I tried to watch some series on Prime the other day and they shoved 3 advertisements in one episode, then wanted to charge by extra to remove them.

I don’t get your comment, do you mean superiority in what? Are you comparing operating systems or hardware? The combined experience? If you asked me 2 years ago I would say something different about Linux than I would said today, because I’

I’m using code server running on a VPS so that my .md todo list is accessible from all my devices through a browser. I use the vim plugin for editing. I have two categories, todo and done. I separate them by project. I use markdown checkbox

I am considering learning Win32 for that purpose, not that I plan to do anything complicated with it, but for small single purpose tools it should be useful, at least when some kind of UI is needed.

At the point being discussed, which is not breaking backward compatibility, it indeed is arguably better than more popular tools, and I believe perl has other advantages too.

The problem with the 10x engineer myth is that there is no baseline to what an engineer is, as much as there is no baseline for what a human is. Any tool can be shown to increase performance in closed conditions and within specific environm

Update notifications seem to be delayed in iOS. Batches of devices get them at different times for A/B testing and reduce bandwidth requirements. This is based on my personal observation of different devices. I could be wrong.

Everything powerful is also potentially destructive. Macros have their places, but most of the time they are not the right solution. I too have removed most of my macros, and have a few that are worth to keep. Usually time saved with macro
