Sure, but considering how central and defining the concept of "life" is to biology (the study of life and living organisms) you'd think we wouldn't have a fuzzy definition for that specific concept. I can see why it&#x27

I, for one, still need to look it up every time I see it mentioned. Not everyone is talking or thinking about LLMs every waking minute.

I tried, but it fails at compile time and I can't be bothered to try and understand why it doesn't find a stdargs.h that is _clearly_ there. I attempted various solutions I found online for half a day, then just threw the towel an

One lesson I learned from this latest upgrade: DON'T SKIP READING THE DOCUMENTATION BEFORE UPGRADING. I rebooted after upgrade and found myself dropped in a console-only environment. Turns out the (proprietary) drivers for my video car

In some parts of Italy, the name will make people's inner 12-year-old giggle. It sounds like a childish name for "penis". Do what you will with this information.

So that's what it is! Just the other day I was visiting an old website on the wayback machine which I didn't expect to work because it was flash-based. To my surprise everything worked fine and I kept seeing those raffle logos for

You can automate commits and push on save. I had a similar setup for vimwiki before migrating to a web-based wiki system (dokuwiki).

I think they're just telling OP that the name might generate confusion. If that's the case, I don't really agree. "Libro", as you point out, is just Italian (and Spanish, fwiw) for "book".

When talking about Linux workflows on older devices it is always worth it to remind people of the existence of kmandla[0] and their later website Inconsolation[1] Too bad they don't seem to publish anymore. [0] https://kmand

Let me nitpick here. The fact that something was printed before the Bible doesn't prove that spreading the Bible was not, in fact, the primary motive to invent the printing press. It could just mean that Gutenberg went with smaller stu

On my work laptop I use Chrome. There are a couple of things I sorely miss from Firefox * The omnibar: I have a couple IPs I connect to frequently. One ends in 36, the other in 243. In Firefox I can just type 36 (or 243) + Tab + Enter. In C
