Also, if you prefer using AI assistants as desktop apps that feel separate to the browser and you can open directly, you can download Progressive Web Apps for Firefox [1] and create a separate shortcut for a sandboxed profile of Firefox wit

Being the only true 2-dimensional language, Befunge only needs the square root of the lines of code to build an equivalent program to puny 1-dimensional programs like Brainfuck or C++. Stop trying to hire 10X engineers. Befunge applications

These MBA-approved use cases for AI feel like the Futurama parody of The Twilight Zone. The one from Google the AI a man was using to raise his child convinced him to use Gemini to write an admiration letter to an athlete wouldn't look

I thought the opposite: if CUDA were easy to replace, wouldn't it have been replaced already? PyTorch supports both ROCm and Ibex, but it's support is spotty and incomplete to the point where it becomes a pain to use despite AMD s

This is fantastic! I wish there was a mode where you minimise the keypresses rather than the speed; that way the best solution is Vim golfing rather than fast hjkl'ing. Quick bug report: the character '`' appears as "Uns

It would be nice to be able to toggle off `:relativenumber`. Half the Vim users navigate large spaces by doing `42j`; have some thought for the other half that does `142G` :-)

I completely agree that trying to get an education/certification model with no feedback and simple, robotic questions is completely useless. What's even worse is that almost none of the MOOCs used the strengths from online classes

Samsung phones have this, and I use this to play music at a pleasant low volume while watching YouTube videos at a higher volume. I'm surprised Pixels don't; small things like this area each QoL wins.

My conspiracy theory is that renaming all products to generic names (Hangouts to Google Chat, G Suite to Google Workspace) are an attempt by Google to prevent regulators from splitting them out from the main company. It's only a matter

Does anybody know if there's an Organic Maps equivalent for cycling? OSM has a lot of data that's only available in everything-maps like OsmAnd, such as location of bicycle parking spaces or quality of cycle lanes. It would be nic

The program seems to assume you'll clone it in your home directory, and has paths hardcoded to `~/.ellrc.d/`. This is just bad.

Even if you count Euston+KX+SP as a single station, it's not that much busier in trips HS2 users from Birmingham might want to make since most trains have that as a terminus going north. Realistically, you would only be adding access t

I wonder how the motor detection deals with groupsets with electronic shifting like Di2, which I assume are allowed in the competitions.

A big part is fees. OTAs like Booking sell the base part of flight from Ryanair and low cost airlines at the same price as the airlines but with much higher fees for luggage and extras. They hide this second part from flight search engines,

OsmAnd is great despite being so ugly, but for cycling I would should out Komoot. It's made for long touring rides, but it works perfectly for shorter rides within the city and its routing is produces routes that are faster, more pleas

Is there a name for this simple style of writing? It reminds me of the style of pop science books written in the late 19th and early 20th century. There's a nice charm in it, like it's trying not to be pretentiously complex.

Aren't the majority of US electric cars Teslas? This is a crap article. Comparing the second derivative of cars in the road is classic statistical cheating.
