I don't get the scoring system: I got 0 points, but I got a streak of 2 in a row. Bizarre.

For me the draw is that Waterfox has partnerships in order to provide funding so if/when Mozilla truly loses the thread (which some may argue they have) WF can keep going on its own, whereas the Librewolf devs have stated that if push

Match in 'percentage reduced since 1995'. Fortunately we're gonna get a bit of a chance to catch up considering the USA's current leadership.

No chance of that and I don't know where GP found that table but it most likely doesn't account for _any_ externalities.

Interestingly you're looking at the wrong column: emissions per million USD GDP have gone from 467 metric tons to 206 metric tons. That's an improvement of about 56%. It'd be great if the politicians here in the EU could pull

Year, day, month in that order written all together? I have seen both day-month-year (12-09-2026) and year-month-day (2026-09-12), but _that_'s a new one.

FOSS is an interesting beast in that it's comprised of both Open Source (the Linux kernel) and Free Software (the GNU project). Linus is more pragmatic than Stallman so depending on where you personally fall in the idealistic vs pragma

Oh, you use Lazarus? Cool, it's an amazing project. Too bad it's a bit of an unsung hero, it deserves it's day in the limelight.

Thing is, SBF, Tate, and Paul aren't old (well, depends on your frame of reference I suppose); so even discriminating on age wouldn't help you much.

When you hover over a dot you can see whether it's the real position or whether the position is computed from the timetable with delay applied. The transparent yellow dots are computed, the opaque yellow dots are real position. Same fo

Yep, both can coexist perfectly well, in fact rail + flight + water + cycling should be good enough to account for the vast majority of mobility requirements.

Commercial passenger planes can generally only lift off and on at dedicated facilities, though.

Emacs has primitive concurrency (see Chapter 40, Threads in the Elisp manual), and because it's a Lisp, having nice concurrency is just a matter of programming.

Yeah, the way I set read-process-output-max (by reading /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size) is probably GNU/Linux-only. The two main ways to reduce startup times are: 1. Don't load too much at startup, use use-packa

I'll try to remember to put it on Codeberg, though it's a little bloated and idiosyncratic (that means 'made by an idiot', right?).

Large files lagging editors is usually because the entire file needs to be parsed for the editor to know how the syntax highlighting and error reporting should work. Making that random big_file and opening it and editing it should be trivia
