Sort of a big philosophical question in quantum physics is what would be the experience of an entangled consciousness being (say, a human). However if you have to freeze the human to a complete metabolic halt (to achieve coherence), then it

also if it was more deadly, presumably that would lead to people taking it more seriously. E.g. HIV is asymptomatic for a long time, but is ultimately deadly, so people use condoms because of that (of course there are other STDs as well, bu

afaiu, in theory, immunity acquired through infection can be stronger than the one from vaccination. E.g. vaccination might prime your body for just one protein, whereas an infection would prime for several. But it's not universally tr

Hmm, is that really so? As far as I understand, for bacteria a more significant factor is horizontal gene exchange (because their genome mutation rate is much lower, presumably because they are more complicated than viruses). Viruses can&#x

Yep, what kind of issues you had? Works well for me. Not sure what do you mean by efficiently -- but my tip is pressing alt-e to edit the command in external editor when it's multiline (although it's not limited to vi mode in fish

Hmm, I'm using git in syncthing folders all the time, and it works great -- how does borking manifest?
77.
by karlicoss 5y ago
It's much easier in syncthing, you don't have to remember to commit/push etc. Works really well as long as you don't change the repos too often so index conflicts don't happen (but even if they do, worst case you ju

Hmm, what if you use a special directory where you could move the files on your phone once you don't need them? And then the cron job would move stuff from that directory ah for rsync I meant with --remove-source-files flag -- it'

by karlicoss 5y ago
Yeah, I think a cron job to move/rsync is the most robust method.

Hmm, does it delete? I think it ends up in 'drafts'?

There is a restartOnWakeup which is true by default, seems like it's the one? There is also a setLowPriority setting which I believe should prevent it from taking all CPU, but not sure since never had such problem on Linux. https:&#x2

I've never had an iOS device, but does it even have a concept of a 'file system' exposed to the user? Presumably if the app existed, you could only view the files inside the 'syncthing' app, but other apps won'

It's been working very well for me, I completely replaced Dropbox, and on the VPS/phones [0] as well. The only slow bit I know of is when it's initially syncing too many files (e.g. tens of thousands). Even if they are tiny,

Fair enough, and depends on your FOMO -- but with Zulip's topics/threads you'd be the one who makes this call. E.g. you probably want to skip some banter or some operational stuff, but still catch up with the topics you want

Apart from the threading model, I love Zulip for its openness. It's quite sad Slack and Discord are often the first choice for open communities. They are siloed and unless you are deliberately searching in a specific workspace, you&#x2
