I did that a few times with a 10 inches Samsung tablet and a Bluetooth keyboard, using the DeX UI. It had Linux on DeX with some Ubuntu version. 16.04? I can't think about a good way to do it with a phone screen, unless you know that y

I also want a small phone. I was happy with a Sony Xperia X Compact which is one inch shorter than my current Samsung A40, which is shorter and lighter than almost everything else.

What if this is true mid or long term but by not participating to the AI race one gets poor or killed in the short term? The only way out would be that all parties agree to stop. There are previous examples (e.g. nuclear proliferation treat

Same thing in Firefox on Android but I used uBO element picker to select the header and nuke it. There is a link to the home page on the HTML below it and links in the footer. There is little to gain from that sticky header and much to lose

I confirm that. Then I opened the page in Chrome on Android and it scrolls nicely there too. So maybe they broke only desktop browsers.

I noticed > The modes are the load-bearing piece: Why do people write like LLMs? Maybe they delegate all the work to a LLM and don't have the time or the will to edit the copy. How about telling another LLMs to replace at least the

By the way that is exactly what humans do when playing with white in high stone handicap games. They place their stones all around the board, start little fights everywhere and wait for the weaker player to misread or misevaluate something.

Of course you can tar the original tar.gz files in one pass without extracting anything. You keep the boundaries between the source tar.gz but maybe that's not important. You probably won't gzip the output because there is very li

I guess that it can be rented or built upon. It's easy to imagine renting a field to a farmer but money is money, so why not letting somebody else build flats over one's land?

The worst brakes I ever used. They were on a rental bike in a relatively remote area so it could be a matter of maintenance but I remember braking on a 10% slope to lose no more than 50 m of height. I had to lock both my thighs with the sam

If you don't have to edit files or you are not supposed to, they should send you a PDF, unless it's an Excel. Excel is a much better viewer for itself because of many reasons (explore the formula, sort, filter) including that usua

Firefox performances have been good for so many years that I can't remember when it was the last time that I felt it to be slow. I only remember that Chrome used to be faster than FF (mainly the JS engine) and then it wasn't. Mayb

If those customers are in the market you want to develop. If they are not, money is money but if it comes from the wrong people it might slow you down.

I am using my proportional font in Python too. The meaningful spaces are at the beginning of the line. 4 monospaced spaces become 4 narrower spaces, 8 monospaced spaces become 8 narrower spaces and they are still twice as wide as the 4 spac

If there is serious distruction every couple of generations it happens either to you or to your children. So, do you really want to build our buy there? If it happened to your parents there is no you. Every five or ten generations, differe

Ah, but I use a normal proportional font in my editor so same and diff have different widths. That was the fun comment. The serious ones: 1. I'm trading the ability to align statements on consecutive lines for a more pleasant reading e

I guess that WoW is more fun to play than using LLMs. Guess what will always have more costumers than LLMs?

Very well done. I had to enable desktop mode on a phone because the help dialog hides the board and the Next button is some meter below the bottom edge of the screen. That's the only issue and the site warns that it's best played

Some people's job is building new houses to sell them. Your question is why they are allowed to build in some areas. Usually there is no point working unless it's for money so take your guess. BTW, I can't build anything in h

Probably nobody and I remember when a phone battery lasted one week: nevertheless sometimes we forgot to charge and we run out of battery. So a long lasting battery is good, too long lasting is a waste, which maybe it's your point. How

Yes, Claude speaks Claudish but at the end of the day I care about the Ruby, Python, JS it writes. It still does a good job at it even if maybe I prefer the way DeepSeek talks. I did not use other models in an agentic harness.

Hardware controls might cost more to develop (do they?) but on the other side they don't get any modification during the life of a car. No need to spend money in updates. Given the long history of those controls they are well understoo

And maybe they mistake current Russia for a communist country? It has every single ingredient of Stalin's Russia except the pretense of socialism or communism.
