Indeed. I received 28 unwanted emails of this kind in January so far (just counted), which is a bit more than once per day, despite quite avidly unsubscribing from this kind of emails. This month I had to unsubscribe from ChatGPT and GitHub

Depends, it’s hard to make a blanket statement like that. Recycled steel and aluminum for example is absolutely not a scam. But for plastics, I agree that waste incineration is mostly a better solution than recycling (which produces low-qua

Recently bought a Yoto Mini and quite happy with it. Remember to buy the blank cards.

Markdown was based on the "syntax" already being used informally in emails and on IRC. So the author did do some searching to define the syntax. I don’t like many parts of markdown either (like the syntax for bold), but those were

I really miss explicit support for type classes in languages that I use regularly like Python.

I feel it depends whether you inspect and edit the code as part of the workflow, or just test what the AI produced and give feedback without participating in the coding yourself.

Shellfish is underrated. It has a very convenient tmux integration (auto-restore a specific tmux session per host to work around iOS suspending background apps), supports SSH tunneling via other configured hosts, and can be used as an SFTP

The risk is that publishers might then start opposing the publication of manuscripts that have been shared as preprints on arXiv, if they start perceiving it as a competitor and not a supplement to their "service". But I concur, a

Thanks. That’s horrible, I didn’t even think about the possibility before seeing your post.

I get regular "crashes" on the newest Fedora KDE on a new Thinkpad X1 (from this year). I say "crashes" because it’s not the window manager or Wayland session crashing but some non-essential component of the Plasma deskt

Does Waterfox support Firefox Sync? Their web page is a bit sparse on details on how it differs from Firefox.

I suppose it gets a bit more complex again if you enable stuff like microtype, but even then you can probably measure how much inter-letter and inter-word spacing has been adjusted by just scanning other text in the same line. I think the c

My guess would be a linkage with something else as you say. Look for example at the Russian domestication of silver foxes which was done very deliberately, and bred for less aggressiveness, yet it caused physical changes in appearance like

I tend to agree. Science funding is unfortunately a limited resource, and I would like to see different approaches explored in more detail, which unfortunately would imply less (but not zero) funding to string theory. Not zero, because we a

Physicist here. Would you like to enrich our world view by linking to counter-examples? My understanding was that string theory being more "hypothetical physics" than "theoretical physics" at this point is still a pretty

If you really only care about syntax highlighting then nearly any code editor will do. Even nano supports it, it’s just disabled by default. If you want something powerful yet easy to pick up, you might want to look at e.g. Zed (GUI IDE), S

As someone teaching in higher education, I’d say that you can certainly incentivize the students to learn "understanding", although I agree that a lot is up to the student. Some basic examples: - Don’t give test and exam questions

Yeah we do. For many reasons: Privacy is privacy. I ideally don’t want any of my data sold to anyone, but health data is even more vulnerable. In my country it was even a big deal when they allowed different doctors to access your health da

I actually haven’t tried DavMail (but have heard about it), so if it manages to get around this sort of shenanigans I’ll happily give that a shot. In my previous org I could also use offlineimap and msmtp to connect to their Microsoft mail

Math didactics is all about making math more digestible for the next generation, even if it breaks with history. For now, I’ve just explicitly written exp(2πiν) etc instead of exp(iπν) in my work; explicitly writing out 2π and treating it a
