Can’t upvote twice, have a low effort comment instead

For dense cities, it’s called a metro. A stop within 10-15 minutes by walk, 5 mins by bicycle and lots of share bike and bike parking.

I can’t taste the breed in market milk, but I could differentiate most cows just by taste of milk from my family’s farm. I can still tell the difference between brands and seasons.

Market milk tastes kinda devoid of personality. But it is still milk. Just that milk from hundreds of cows gets mixed together

We need a new framework, one that allows universal lookup, and makes life easier

x = _.dialog.file.open
y = _.open.file.dialog
z = _.file.open.dialog
a = _.file.dialog.open

Once done, the formatter simply changes everything to _.open.file.dialog

Let’s get this done JS peeps

If it’s a revenue generating machine, the impact of 10 or 20% improvement in day to day could recoup the additional cost in a few months or a year.

Similarly, for someone who travels a lot, having a useful battery life of 8-10 hours of internet+video playback allows a work routine that is worry free wrt charging and this allows tighter travel schedules.

Ofc, this isn’t the case every time, but this creates anchor effect on several segments of the market. This also doesn’t include the extra cost of “luxury” aka thin and light or small bezels.

350 USD is perfectly fine if you don’t need a ton of battery life or color accurate screen or multimedia or multicore workloads. If you need any of this, most of the options get pricier than 700 USD. It’s not uncommon to have to shell out 1500 USD or more for the desired specs.

Looks good (the extension). Any other good tiling extensions with keyboard and GUI support? I would like to explore a few to see which one works well for me

It might be something built using digital payments with no transaction fee (and a percentage for currency conversion)

Not possible globally, but in India and the Nordics, such standards are already in use. (No private apps like venmo which can’t inter-operate don’t count)

Without context this link is just bad. Plant growth will not reduce CO2 levels because biosphere is temporary store or carbon (since it is a part of the carbon cycle)

We are putting carbon (into the atmosphere) that was previously buried. So putting a tiny bit of it back into plants doesn’t help because:

• those plants will die and release the carbon back
• the number of plants added is inconsequential compared to the deforestation
• the number of plants needed to offset additional carbon is humongous

Tokio has support for multiple threaded async in rust. As for micro controller, I don’t think you can have multiple threads in flight anyways, so that’s the best you’ll get

Which language? Usually there’s a thread pool where multiple tasks are run in parallel. CPython is a special case due to gil, but we have pypy which has actual parallelism

X code is convoluted, so much so that the maintainers didn’t want to continue. AFAIK, no commercial entity has put any significant money behind Xorg and friends. Potentially unmaintained code with known bugs, unknown CVEs and demands for permission system for privacy made continuing with Xorg a near impossibility.

If you don’t want new features and don’t care about CVEs that will be discovered in future as well as the bugs (present and future), then you can continue using Xorg, and ignore all this. If not, then you need to find an alternative, which doesn’t need to be Wayland

Oh, and you might need to manage Xorg while other people and software including your distro move onto something else.

So yeah, “xorg bad” is literally the short summary for creating Mir and Wayland

I use an extension in Firefox for this

I’ve used mirror.vim for this. Pretty much similar UX as remote workspaces. Forone off editing, you can do vim ssh://remote/<abs or ~ location>

Sometimes, VS Code-ium is piss poor especially over bad connections but otherwise the remote management is quite awesome

And ofc, there’s emacs with TRAMP mode

That’s why it’s interesting that inverse square is in electrostatic and gravitational forces only. Weak and strong force don’t follow inverse square. And we don’t see the highly complex organization inside the nucleus that we see outside it (otherwise we’d have stable orbits inside the nucleus as well)

Bertrand’s theorem states that stable orbits are only possible for one single inverse distance relation (in classical mechanics): inverse square

If the law is not inverse square (or harmonic oscillator), there will be no long lasting orbits, no galaxy clusters, no galaxies, no star systems, no planet and moon pairs.

If the electrostatic force wasn’t inverse square, electromagnetic force would look much different. No gauss law would be possible.

Inverse square relationship is really neat

I wanted to update my family PC (technically, but I don’t think anyone else apart from me used it). Windows XP licence was too expensive for me as a kid and I found a CD ROM in my library with a FOSS OS advertised on it.

Fast forward to now, and I have been using Linux almost exclusively for 15 years now (some Windows usage needed for work or gaming)

This is called grammatical gender. The articles as redundant information are quite useful when there is noise around. Even if you catch parts of the article and the noun, you can eliminate a bunch of similar sounding words due to the partial information (eg in this thread about See being lake or sea based on gender)

This is found in several sibling languages of German and the evidence for it is quite strong for PIE (4.5k-2.5k BC). It could have started with just slight changes (noun inflections) to signify information for clarification or redundancy which then got formalized over time due to natural language development.

Even old English had grammatical gender, and the gender neutral ness is a recent development (as compared to evidence of grammatical gender). We have holdover words from Old English where we don’t see the absurdity because of the loss of gender during the Middle English (probably due to incorporation of different dialects in cities like London and gender less appearing novel and thus cool to speak), eg: wife and woman have similar but differently gendered roots (wif (neuter) and wifmann))
