The Dell Streak (shoutout to the other 3 people who bought one) had a 5 inch screen in 2010, a notable jump from contemporary phones like the iPhone 4 which was still 3.5", and other Android devices like the HTC Droid series which were

I thought all the cool kids were on Pijul, or was it Darcs? Maybe it was Fossil? No wait, it was definitely Jujutsu.

I agree, Hyper-V is a pretty cool technology! I wasn't aware WSL1 was still supported at all, let alone receiving pull requests. Windows Subsystem for Android was a neat feature, but not something I used regularly, especially since it

I understand that, but I think for an operating system it's more valuable to provide stability for applications than to be able to move fast. Secondarily, do the same issues not apply to the Linux API as to a hypothetical ABI? If the A

I'm convinced that the lack of a stable ABI and the lack of a hardware abstraction layer (requiring drivers to be in the kernel source tree) is what's preventing The Year of the Linux Desktop from ever arriving. I understand the p

Docker on macOS also runs a Linux VM under the hood, just like WSL2 does, they're no different in that respect. WSL1 used the more exotic approach of translating Linux system calls to and from NT kernel system calls, but for various re

Maybe companies should provide some sort of incentive for the juniors they trained to stay with them. As it is, the obvious and rational choice is always to leave for another company that will pay you 25% more whenever you feel undervalued.

It has not been cancelled as of now, the cancellation has only been proposed, not passed.

Good find, I currently have an aging Pixel 6a (with, regrettably, no headphone jack) but I like Motorola's hardware and their fairly vanilla Android. I may consider a Motorola device, if they provide updates for at least 5 years.

Thank you! I'm not a huge Samsung fan, their Android flavor doesn't appeal to me much, but I'm glad that someone is still making phones with headphone jacks. USB-C adapters are mostly fine, but I like being able to charge and

What phone still has a 3.5mm headphone jack? Sincere question, I'd like to buy one.

Closing your eyes is always an option, if you're trying to think deeply and without distraction. It helps a lot to explain your stream of consciousness as you think, even if it's disorganized, and you're definitely not cheati

I would love a feature like retention policies at the filesystem level. If it could somehow take data provenance into account, that would be even better, i.e. data that I've created directly is irreplaceable and should never be deleted

Only if you didn't run `uv lock --script` [0] and commit the lockfile. If you don't want that second file sitting next to the script, you could instead specify an `exclude-newer` timestamp, and uv won't resolve any dependency

Similarly, older versions (<3.0) of the provider had a `build` attribute for the `docker_registry_image` resource, which made it possible to build and publish an image to a registry, without causing unnecessary rebuilds if there was no l

I agree, I feel like Nix is kind of a hack to work around the fact that many build systems (especially for C and C++) aren't pure by default, so it tries to wrap them in a sandboxed environment that eliminates as many opportunities for

I've always thought it would be nice to have a language whose spec describes a few different "power levels": 1. Literal values only (objects, arrays, strings, numerics, booleans, maybe datetimes), a la JSON, with standardized

A signed commit can only prove that the owner of a key did make a particular commit, it can't prove that they didn't make a commit, for instance by using some other undisclosed key.

One solution could be adding a `sort` argument (which takes a function that compares two `<T>` items and returns `true` or `false` depending on their order) to all functions on unordered collections of `<T>` items in which an or

According to https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=24&year1=20240... , $24 in June 2024 is equivalent to $19.25 in June 2018, so your estimate is right on the money, as it were.

Where I live, self-checkouts almost universally have a "Use my own bag" button, that prompts you to place your empty bag on the scale and then tares it after you press the button to continue.

To this day I'm miffed that Chef has "cookbooks" which contain "recipes," which contain... "resources." Why not "ingredients??" It was right there!
