Yes, it is amazing. I do see it mentioned in reviews, or at least from user reviews especially about first experiences. Speaking of, my first time in a virtual room with the Index was super convincing because of the sound, less so my poor 9

Currently working on automating some light/dark theme changes on Linux, but in a WM environment (so no Gnome settings, etc.). Came across this on the Arch wiki, of course, and looks useful. Unfortunately there's a lot of different

I can't live without uBlock Origin and uMatrix, and was sad to see uMatrix archived [0]. Still works great, but I'm wondering what will happen long term. Anyone also use both and since drop uMatrix for something else, or just uBlo

I would agree with the other commenters. g-2 has been a debate for a long time, but fundamentally points to something new if the result holds. The Higgs was expected, and given the mass and properties we've seen, doesn't point to

Someone linked to this Twitter thread in the other discussion, from a theorist (one I happen to know a very little, from back in the day): https://mobile.twitter.com/GordanKrnjaic/status/137983430884... Not a latt

Perhaps I should have mentioned I am (was) a theoretical physicist and have worked a little on dark energy. But perhaps you meant the comment to others in general.

To follow up on discussions the other day like [0], here is the news from the perspective of the physics theory/experiment crowd. The website reports on rumors/fresh experimental hints of new physics and is a good place to hear wh

As a particle physicist (no longer working in the field, sadly), this is one of the more exciting results in a long time. Muon g-2 has been there, in some form of another for debate and model building, for many years (taken somewhat serious

People aren't "just fine" about dark energy. It is an entire field of study in physics/astronomy. A problem there is that we are quite stuck; some future experiments might tell us something (if it has changed over time f

Care to provide any background or supporting information, for those of thus that don't know who that is or about this project?

Very nice, will have to try it out! Thanks for the link.

Ah, nice! Good to know (I don't know why none of these types of host just let you know what access you have without having to sign in)

Looks nice, but would just be for self-hosted or where you have access to the logs directly?

Question for these recommendations: what type of visitor stats or analytics do they provide by default? If you are using a static site without embedding some analytics, what can they show you (e.g. just overall bandwidth, number of unique v

I've seen that recommended in several places. I think for me (author of the article) it really comes down to taking more control and not just mindlessly opening things. In the end I do keep saving these tabs, but never look at them. Th

I find browsers (or at least my Firefox set up) much better at not loading every single tab, at least after you start up the browser with previous tabs. If you just leave it open and keep opening tabs...yeah that adds up. Though of course t

Saw that too. Standby time usually means when it is not in use but can be woken up instantly. That's a far cry from actual usage time. :-| (Compare that too typical tablets where the standby time might be several days or longer, and us

In addition to the other replies, I think it always takes time to learn a new language and its syntax, preferred formatting, etc. So I don't know what is more "natural," as that would depend on your background, but once I lea

As an Emacs and Lisp lover, the description of text-based tools and the power of using text to me just screams why something like Lisp is so powerful: homoiconicity. (And at least one big difference for elisp compared to Bash.) To quote Wik
