I fondly remember my first PC, which only had DOS. I came from C64 where I had GEOS, that allowed me to do anything with a nice GUI, so it felt like quite the step back. However, PCs were all the rage at that time, so I got one and thanks t

Fair. Yet, many nuns look at least 10 years younger than their age.

No alcohol or nicotine and sleeping for the same period every day can go a long way. Might also avoid direct sun exposure, for good measure.

As a professional writer, I can confirm that my editors love to sprinkle em dahses excessively on my work. Personally, I'm more prone to excessive semicolon usage, which seems to aggravate editors.

Better laws/incentives could still pull people out of the housing market.

Japan seems to get at least the real estate stuff right. No nationalization needed when houses aren't worth investing in. Also, give people something else worth investing into. Make laws that move all the incentive out of the housing m

Yes, often you see huge gains in some benchmark, then the model is ran through Aider's polyglot benchmark and doesn't even hit 60%.

To me, the reasoning seems to be: Npm, pnpm, and yarn are written in JS, so they have to use Node.js facilities, which are based on libuv, which isn't optimal in this case. Bun is written in Zig, so it doesn't need libuv, and can

Yeah, I understood that. I was just wondering why GZIP specified it that way.

"... the last 4 bytes of the gzip format. These bytes are special since store the uncompressed size of the file!" What's the reason for this? I could imagine, many tools could profit from knowing the decompressed file size

I tried using Bun a few times, and I really liked working with it. Much better than Node. However...! I always managed to hit a road block with Bun and had to go back to Node. First it was the crypto module that wasn't compatible with

Yes, I start visualising the machinery too. Similarly to reading a novel. At one point the text becomes background and I start seeing the scenes in my mind.

I think, the Permaweb is on a good way. They have decentralised storage (Arweave), decentralized HTTP gateways (ar.io), and decentralised name service (ArNS).

They say it's permissionless. That can mean different things. It can mean anyone can use it without needing to sign up. It can also mean anyone can host a node, i.e. become part of the network, without needing to ask anyone for permiss

If it's EVM compatible it's irrelevant that it's focus is on stable coins. People can build their own smart contracts and speculate.

"The thumb as one of the strongest fingers has almost nothing to do, with both thumbs mostly sharing a single key while typing text." To be fair, that single key is used rather excessively compared to the rest.

How come the enter key is so small on most qwerty keyboards I've used and so big on the qwertz ones?
