Whether the email is considered private or not is completely orthogonal to whether you are allowed / should tie an action to your email. And then again completely orthogonal whether you can/should make that connection public. Ev

Reminded me of this, not sure if anything came out of it. US military gives NASA two better-than-Hubble telescopes (2012) : https://www.theregister.com/2012/06/05/military_gives_telesc...

1. Can't remember when this had any effect on my use. Unreliability wouldn't improve either if you cut the connection and reconnected as it would bring down all open connections. No thanks. 2. Been years since I've seen one o

The clangd extension is much better for me, assuming that you have or are able to generate a compile_commands.json (at least easy in cmake) and point clangd to it.

Why the obsession of this particular metric? And how can one claim something is unbalanced while focusing on one metric?

Yes, and often when the OS has had a major revision a new version comes out as a paid upgrade (or more often lately, a purchase includes upgrades and maintenance for a certain time). Though it is work the developer has to do regardless, if

All of the mundane questions can be answered by going to the homepage. The non-mundane questions are the ones you call for.

It is not a subscription though. You are not hostage. You don't have to upgrade. You can keep using the old version if it serves your needs. Imagine your stance as a customer instead. Imagine being hostage to every single piece of soft

Sure they can. If you pay 100-1200x more for your cloud services than you need, maybe not. And I guess that is a theme, if you have subscriptions you don't really need to care about expenses because you have a steady income. Absurd? Ye

Oh, yeah that sounds bizarre... I've heard of tupperware parties but I always assumed that it was like a picnic where you brought your own food (in tupperware (or similar) containers) and shared with others.

And how much data can you give it? I'm not up to date with these things because I haven't found them useful. But with what you said, and previous limitations in how much data they can retain essentially makes them pretty darn usel

Cygwin is capable but I feel WSL is a total game changer.

by tjoff 2y ago
I'm surprised they didn't go the WSL2 route from the start. Seems much easier to do. But WSL is so cool and since I mostly run windows in VMs without nested virtualization support I've pretty much only used that one and am su

Add to that is that it is likely illegal to do yourself. Which of course has implications for insurance etc.

The alternative to using S3 is to do it themselves? Also, do you really specifically want S3? The value of S3 is working at scale but very few but amazon needs that scale. So many other solutions work just as well.

Good point, I've resorted to nmap in desperation in similar cases but would hope there is a more elegant solution.

Ah, if I'm on the go I think I'd hotspot on my phone and sync via termux, but that is great to hear!

Why not script it over ssh (wifi), preference or is not as simple as I imagine? (never used one but the ability to get shell and be able to rsync files is one of the reasons I consider a remarkable). I could be misinformed though, haven&#x2

Well, many argue that humans are no more than automata. So from that view Descartes argument holds, but the conclusion that such a life has no meaning does not.

They already have everything Qt has? And the killer feature of Qt being multiplatform will cause an allergic reaction so I'm not sure I see the value (for apple) there.

Case in point. On the iphone in 2010, if you had a repeating alarm set before a DST transition it would go off an hour wrong. Sizable portion of society were late that Monday (most probably don't have repeating alarms on the weekend so

Hardly. Yes, you can contort your definition of intelligence to be one where you have to be able to overcome whatever personal struggles one might have. But you wouldn't be actually measuring intelligence. And creating an environment t

I'd argue motivation plays a much bigger role than intelligence.

Fine in theory but man are they terrible in practice. At which point it is sent to the cloud and then, as it turns out (from siri), evaulated by contracted humans.
