For pure road bikes rim brakes are ok IMHO only under certain conditions.e.g. no carbon rims and not much dirt and try conditions. These are not the conditions you will find off-road. Also the difference in wet conditions is IMHo still nigh

I don't get the point of using a modal editor these days. Just get a keyboard with QMK ( for example, there is also a software approach) and you can edit completely on the home row (everywhere!) without the need for a modal editor.

I think you're correct that the eject mechanism was popularized with react. It very much sucks IMHO. At least yarn has a mechanism to override a dependency with your own version of a component.Therefore I am not sure the article is to

what is intuition? To me it is just very good pattern matching. I recommend everyone to play against the Leela chess engine with a very low number of search nodes. Start with 1 node and you will find that it rarely makes bad moves. The est

Looks to me that a modern AlphaZero based engine like Leela would understand this position easily. Even SF with its new neural net based eval function might understand it. My Leela reports a close to 0 evaluation after Nakamuras first sa

I don't think this would work for chess. Leela is using AlphaZero like self training and the strategy is to not be biased by human moves.

I agree. For me the limiting factor is not necessarily whether it is poodles high quality encoded or lossless. For "normal" music the bottleneck is often the recording. With good headphones it is easy to differantiate good from no

Nix plus homemanager plus direnv is the best solution I have found so far. Managing config (dotfiles) is only one part of the problem. You usually also need some way to install applications/tools ideally in a specific version. your con

Too much marketing involved in this business. And then too much competition from China? Not sure whether the masses are aware of the good but cheap China items. BLON BL-03 , how can you compete with that?

I liked termite because of the keyboard based selection mode and the minimal functionality. Wasn't aware that Alacrity supports that now. Alacrity is my choice for Windows, but unfortunately I cannot use it on WSL2, because it needs GL

Depending on the headphone the biggest problem is the amp not the DAC. E.g. something like a hifiman Sundara or a Sennheiser HD 600 Series requires a bit more power then a cell phone typically requires. Looking at the specs for the M3k it l

WASM is theoretically better for CPU intensive workload. As the article states even for CPU intensive workloads there are still quite a few limitations to take into account. What it is good for ATM is IMHO mostly just reusing existing C, ru

This looks kind of a another flawed benchmark, because of the use of time, which includes the startup cost for the process. Rust is compiled to native code with an AOT compiler, which should have significantly lower overhead compared to th

To me it looks like the main advantage of async is memory usage, which is kind of expected because of the overhead of a thread. But if you do not need lots of thread it doesn't look like there is a huge benefit going async. Or do I mis
