Cannot figure out what is the difference. I can focus on both seemingly without changing anything, even though they aren't both in focus at the same time. But I don't know what I'm doing differently, I just move my eyes up or

Ok, I kinda knew it was possible (I guess, anybody did), but this should be a very illustrative example. And unfortunately it doesn't seem like PDFs are gonna go away (though, really, why the hell there isn't any alternative?!) So

I suppose it must be a joke, but it's striking nevertheless how much clearer and better written this paper is. I absolutely hate these papers that have an abstract of "In this paper, we present a systematic, global, and longitudin

Ironically, I suspect there are more "real" accounts that don't check the full list. Reminds me of most primitive captchas somehow.

Huh? These are bookmarks. I never actually use starts for any other purpose.

It is easy to defend any side of the argument by inflating the "pitfalls of other approach" ad absurdum. This is silly. Obviously, balance is the key, as always. Instead, we should look at which side the, uh, industry currently

How do you backup websites? I mean, it sounds trivial, but I kinda still haven't figured out what is the way. I sometimes think that I'd like some script to automatically make a copy of every webpage I ever link in my notes (it

All that stuff looks fun, but I'm utterly terrified at the idea of it malfunctioning. Like, in a false-positive way. And, as a professional deformation, I guess, it is basically an axiom for me that any automation will malfunction at s

How so? If Mullavad says about their no-loggind policy[0], they couldn't help any authorities that are asking about particular IP and particular timestamp. Obviously doesn't save you from Mossad spies under your bed, but it seems

Ignoring BTC anonymity fallacy, does it even matter? If they don't store any logs as they claim, they can know anything about you, but won't be able to rat you out to authorities even if they wanted to, because you are just one of

What is the reason to drop openvpn? Honestly, I wouldn't even consider any provider that doesn't support it. Like what's even the point.

Surprisingly sparse on actual information considering all this humble-bragging (actually, not even so humble) about how he was teaching peasants to catch fish for 20 years, to be forced yet again to hand it out with his own bare hands! We

Look, don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of copyright violation. But every time something like this pops up my instant reaction is that Internet Archive are inflicting this on themselves. They are aiming to provide storage service

I mean, it sounds weird, but it really isn't that crazy. I cannot claim I'm more or even equally productive on my phone compared to a proper desktop setup, but the thing is I'm basically glued to my phone, and sometimes I c

I would be very grateful if somebody can point to an actually good blogpost/video that would summarize the current state of the domain. I mean, I remember some "quantum annealing" providers as far as some 10 years ago (I mean

Looks dope though. But what impressed me recently was some crypto-scam video, featuring "a clip" from Lex Fridman Podcast where Elon Musk "reveals" his new crypto or whatever (sadly, the one I saw is currently deleted).

I still don't get what LGM is. From what I understood, it isn't actually about any "geospatial" data at all, is it? It is rather about improving some vision models to predict how the backside of a building looks, right?

I wouldn't have guessed until I read the comments. My assumption was somebody just mistyped km and somehow nobody cared to fix it.

I wonder if attorneys have any liability at all. Granted, lawyers do not provide any guarantees, and I usually tend to be more forgiving of genuine fuckups, but this seems a bit too much. The very least you expect from a hired lawyer is not

That was... unexpected. Actually made me laugh.

Bringing up goland always annoys me for some reason. Like, it's really practical, it is fast, but not actually low-level, it compiles fast, and most importantly it is very popular and has all the libraries. It seems like I should use

You (and people like you) are way too bold to allow yourself to speak for "the world" or for "the EU". As a member of the world and the EU, I'll say that I personally never wanted for my taxes to be spent to prolo

Why is this big news? What exactly is Pixelmator? What I've been able to gather is that it's basically Photoshop, but I didn't get if it's just "yet another Photoshop" or if it has some very unique niche where

Didn't bother to read the domain and didn't remember the boats name, so I didn't quite understand the title at first. Funnily, it immediately occurred to me, that it must be "that boat", but I half-expected to see s

This is the right direction. The more I'm using ChatGPT, the more sure I am I don't want to listen to its "answers". After all improvements it only got better at making it less obvious it's bullshitting me. It still

The most interesting (perhaps, the only truly interesting) thing in this writeup is his `tzdump` script. I checked his github, and it seems he didn't share it anywhere, unfortunately.

Of course not. Gregorian Calendar didn't drift, it just fixed drift in Julian calendar, which was like a couple of weeks by 1582. And "new year" in Julian calendar was 1st of January, same as now. It was inherited from previo

> 7 AM is 1 Saac > 7 PM is 1 Saac How do you distinguish AM/PM? How does one say that something will happen 19:00 specifically, and not 07:00?
