XML is fundamentally incompatible with commonly used programming data structures, namely lists/arrays and structs/maps. That fundamental mismatch caused a lot of friction when people use XML for data exchange between programs. JSO

For some people maybe. I don't want to use local AI and NPU will be dead weight for me. Can't imagine a single task in my workflow that would benefit from AI. It's similar to performance/effiency cores. I don't need

There are Intel CPUs which come with bundled RAM. For example Intel Core Ultra 5 238V. It's like SoM: RAM is mounted directly on the CPU package, not even soldered on the motherboard. I'm not sure what particular advantages does t

As I understand that situation, GrapheneOS developers are super picky about hardware they want to support. So out of all android phones they decided to support only Google Pixel because only these phones provide good enough hardware support

I own T14s Gen4 Intel and Linux support is perfect, even fingerprint reader works. Zero complaints. I'm mostly using it in clamshell mode connected via USB-C to display with backwards charging, it all just works! I'm also using se

Yeah, it's weird. It's like one person writes articles for the whole world. Probably will be fixed in a few AI iterations to present more styles, but right now it's everywhere. Articles, even forum posts.

I know very little about lineageos. Their website contains very few docs, so I don't really understand what's this project is about. They don't mention Pixel 10, so I guess it's not supported. GrapheneOS website in compa

TBH What I wanted from the world is AOSP distribution. Built similarly to GrapheneOS in terms of distribution, ease of install. But I just don't feel I need all these privacy enhancements and stuff, I'm perfectly fine with ordinar

Yes, it's super simple to install GrapheneOS and to revert to the factory OS on Google Pixels. It is done from Chrome browser with phone connected via USB cable, no need to install anything. Of course when you'll switch, you'

100% it's OEM, every chinese phone is built by some "you never heard about" company and later rebranded as Xiaomi or whatever. Does it matter though? With big enough leverage OEM will provide docs and will adapt hardware. Tha

I don't have macos right now but I think that it doesn't have these files. What's worse is that bash emulates these files so they might even somewhat work, but not in all situations. I distinctly remember issues with this com

While I can't say that I observe that kind of radical shift for myself, one of the reasons I still can see something similar is AI development. Basically manager asks me something and asks AI something. I'm not always using so-cal

I learned to read at age three or four, I think and I consumed every book I could find, including various math books, old chemistry books, etc. I didn't really understand anything there, but it was just fascinating to me to even touch

One small nitpick: you don't need check before `free` call, using `free(NULL)` is fine.

It makes no sense to walk. So the whole question makes no sense as there's no real choice. It seems that LLM assumes "good faith" from the user side and tries to model the situation where that question actually makes sense, p

The benefit is to not type encryption password on every boot. TPM stores the encryption key and Secure Boot ensures that the system is not tampered. That said, I think that it's better to use alternative approach. Use unencrypted signe

Put private key into every digital camera and hash/sign every frame. That private key is accompanied with manufacturer signature and can't be easily extracted. Mark all unsigned media as suspicious.

What's so hard about it? Compiler construction is well researched topic and taught in the universities. I made toy language compiler as a student. May be I'm underestimating this task, but I think that I can build some simple C co

I don't care about privacy and I didn't have much problems with reliability of AI companies. Spending ridiculous amount of money on hardware that's going to be obsolete in a few years and won't be utilized at 100% during

It is bad application architecture. Database work should be concentrated in minimal transactional units and connection should be released between these units. All data should be prepared before unit start and additional processing should ta

In a properly optimized database absolute majority of queries will hit indices and most data will be in memory cache, so majority of transactions will be CPU or RAM bound. So increasing number of concurrent transactions will reduce throughp

I've always thought that there should be `cat -o output-file` flag for that. GNU coreutils have miriads of useless flags and missing one actually useful flag LoL. And probably `echo -o output-file` as well.

An interesting thing is that most webpages are generated using text templates. There's some text processing like escaping special characters, but it's mostly text that happened to be (somewhat) valid HTML. So extracting informatio
