Fn keys are literally just layer keys: They don’t send a keycode, they modify existing keys so they either send different keycodes or modify the keyboard’s state (e.g. toggle LEDs). The main difference is, once you start rabbit-holing the c

I have no idea, I'm not a mycologist. But what I understood was that one fungus was trying to consume another. It's episode #1035 at around 1h53m: https://www.youtube.com/live/mPqWstVnRjQ?si=AgxlSe4pXB4Fe9lT..

Laborious but not pointless. Rust programs have fewer CVEs for two reasons: its safe design, and its experienced user base. As it grows more widespread, more thoughtless programmers will create insecure programs in Rust. They just won’t oft

I think Teslas have amazing interior. You’re not stuck with Tesla chargers. But they’re kind of neat because you only need to authenticate once, and not on every charge. The rest of the criticism, I believe, applies to EVs in general.

I don’t know how I could generate that much LLM traffic without building an AI product that drove automated traffic. With current API pricing, my consistent, daily personal use amounts to at most $2-3/mo.
