Speeding up the gnome terminal is useless whe you realize GNOME has been removing keyboard support features from Gtk since 2014.

Try to copy a file path from that Gnome 46 terminal and do a File-Open operation in a Gtk application and ctrl-v<enter> to paste in the path and open it.

Woops! Error! "The folder contents could not be displayed. Operation not supported"

GNOME and Gtk3/4 no longer prioritize keyboard inputs and hide them behind complex key shortcuts. They let keyboard inputs bitrot and fail because they only care about GUI inputs. It's an open bug since 2014, opened and closed as wontfix literally dozens of times. Brought up in #gtk chat a similar amount. Latest (2023) wontfix: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/5872

I was diagnosing HVAC issues and was frustrated about the visualization of the data with existing tools. I wanted a single screen with all my thermostats, the mode they are operating in, set point, current temp, with synchronized y-axes.

This app is completely stateless which I think is cool from a privacy and ops perspective.

It's a matter of probability. It's unlikely that an original project will start becoming abusive on its own, especially if it has a long history of trust. Someone unrelated, who is just high jacking other's fame and has built no trust on its own? More likely. And if it's just a throwaway ad-farm that was set up once, it's likely not receive much care. So there is a higher chance that a hack of the site will go under for a long time, or that the owner will just sell it at some point to a malicious actor.

Anyone being long on the internet has seen such things happen more than enough, so many people have a legitimated lack of trust against those sites.

> I’ve been paying under $1,200 in rent for 10+ years in a neighborhood where houses are now pushing $800,000.

You’re either rent controlled or bullshit. Either way your situation is far from the norm and had you bought a house 10 years ago that’d put us right on the tail end of the crap housing market and you still would’ve ended up better buying.

Since you can’t seem to do math well, 10x12x1200=$144k just gone. If you had bought a house, and I’m correct on the 20% number, then you would’ve spent about $173k and still have the equity. Meanwhile my father-in-law bought a house around that same time for $350k and is sitting on about $1.2mil in equity now.

> The same as the homeowner does, shop for other options. Fortunately w/ renting it seems like insurance companies (thus far) don’t care that much and use it as an incentive. My partner’s car insurance provider reduced her total bill when she added rental insurance.

I don’t even know what you’re saying here. Above you claimed this was the downside of having a house, and now you’re saying you’ll just shop around. That would invalidate your first complaint about risk.

You clearly are too young to know what you’re talking about. I really hope you’re not actually investing with this mentality because if so you’ve just been getting lucky so far.

What software are you using for inference? I hate plugging my own app[1] here, but I know many people on my app's discord that are running 4-bit OmniQuant quantized Mixtral 8x7B on it on >= 32GB M1, M2 and M3 Macs. I run it all the time 64GB M2 Mac Studio and it takes up just under 24GB of RAM.

Also runs Yi-34B-Chat, which takes up ~18.15GB of RAM.

> Those property prices are not going down any significant amount. The capital system in the US has realized it can buy up as much property as possible and use it to extract as much wealth as possible via literal rent seeking. Places that are not close to anywhere have had rent prices explode.

It's an unflattering take for many egos, but it's what's actually happening. It's not the "capital system" that's bidding up the price of housing. Only a fraction of housing is owned by investors, and only a fraction of those investors are large investors like "banks." The figure for "investor-owned" properties includes individuals who own rental properties--many of whom are the "minor rich" created by the knowledge industry. (Not Bezos, but his project managers and engineering managers.)

You could ban large corporations from buying investment properties, but it wouldn't address the basic problem resulting from the fact that you have 20% of the population engaged in knowledge work whose incomes are vastly outstripping those of the middle 60%. That's why normal people have been pushed out of places like the Bay Area.

Personally, IDGAF about latency. I'm used to typing things into servers that are two crossings of a continent away (one for corp VPN entry, and then another one to get to a server 50 away via the cross-country VPN hop).

What gets me is the performance when a terminal command spews an unexpectedly large amount of output and/or I forget to postpend less. Eg, the latency between ^C being entered and having an impact. This can be 10s of seconds on slower terminals like xterm and this is what finally got me to switch away from xterm to one of these new-fangled terminals like the one from lxde.

I think that they simply don't want to tear down the dishes because they will be expensive to rebuild, so putting solar panels on them is a way to get some money out of the dish that will at least cover maintenance of the structure.

Then when in the future they need more capacity they can put in better receivers and motors quickly.
Actually, the spotify rate is 0.003 cents per track, which reflects my 83 plays ‘earning’ $0.25 on Spotify before this.
I've been living in Germany for more than 7 years and I can only verify this. The offices in big cities are overloaded with requests and getting an appointment for things like renewing documents can takes weeks if not months. Not to mention the naturalization process which can take up to two years[0].

A solution for this in my opinion would be to centralize these processes and make them online, like making a government portal for the whole country. But for that many rules should be changed, which is highly unlikely.

> I don’t want to infer types from my code. I’d rather infer the code from the types.

I use type inference for this: the compiler looks at the existing types and then infers the type of the code I haven't yet written and tells me. I then write code based on the type given to me by the compiler.

Building a ramp for my mother's dog - who can't use the stairs - to go up and down the stairs in our backyard. Both V1 and V2 took a weekend, but V1 was disassembled to use for some other stupid thing in the backyard, and V2 is slightly better and more portable/storable for future dog visits.

Was out to dinner with the family, and my kids were enthralled with the "word search" that was on the kid's menu. I thought it'd be cool to build a custom word search generator - given an arbitrary list of words, it'd spit out a grid containing them. The part that made it fun was trying to figure out a layout for an arbitrary list of words that would be as compact as reasonably possible. I was able to get something working in just a couple of hours, and my kids loved being able to do word searches with stuff that was relevant to them, like names of family members. Of course, there are tons of similar generators freely available online, but it was very satisfying to figure it out for myself and come up with something that the kids enjoyed.
Yeah.. I have all the respect in the world for Haifeng's talent and I totally understand (and agree!) that open source developers need to be compensated one way or another, and I don't want to get into a debate that could lead to accusations by people who don't know the full story, but there are definitely some sour grapes over the whole situation and some of the pull away from smile has more to do with feelings that not everyone involved is acting in good faith more than issues about GPL exactly.
There’s an app called song shift that works 90% well. It’ll transfer the music over from one service to another. Also you can export Apple songs to CSV using desktop iTunes
This is cool. I’m not a super planner, but I’d use it.
As said, it depends on the definition of platform for this case. All I see is support of a bunch of flavors of one platform, namely POSIX, unixoids, or how you want to call it. Yes, they are different desktop-platforms, but the purpose of this software is still limited to one specific environment. Or to give a different perspective, nobody would call it cross-platform, just because it can run with Gnome and KDE, under X11 and Wayland.

And I'm curious how much adaption happens for each OS really. Are there specific changes for MacOS and BSD, outside of some paths for configurations?
I don't understand this comment. I was clearly saying school should prepare children to be immunized against reality-averse movements.
"When asked to draw circles representing themselves and friends or family, for example, people tend to self-inflate their own circle but they self-inflate more in individualist cultures."

No, this sounds like:

* Type Inference Makes Code Less Readable

* Type Inference is a Footgun

Others have pointed out that you can retrofit a similar or even more powerful mechanism into git.

Alternatively, CVS and SVN have RCS-style keyword expansion built in. Either of these is an obvious improvement over RCS, so I don't think there are any good reasons not to upgrade.
That's an extremely uncharitable take of my comment. I wouldn't call the many days I've spent investigating and opening issues that the F# community didn't even know about (because it's on life support) to be whining about small things. I can't tell you how many times things just don't work and the community kinda shrugs it off and says "use C#".

If you look in the database section of F# websites, maybe 20% of those libraries work. If you bring it up to people online, they'll say "yeah use Dapper, it's the only thing that works".

This just isn't the case in Clojure and I don't think the expectation is that it should be.

This is Switzerland, where land is not as plentiful as in Texas, not by a long shot.

Plus, the support structure is free in this case, it's definitely cheaper to lay solar panels on those dishes than tearing them down just to lay panels on the floor. Also, having solar panels laying flat on ground level sounds like skimming on infrastructure to save money short term but having to pay higher maintenance long term: you have to keep the panels relatively clean for them to work, having them slanted and elevated a bit means that less dirt get on top of them and rain washes most of it regularly.
This made me curious, why were pc floppy drive controllers unable to read mac formatted disks. my first thought was the variable sectors per cylinder, I mean sure the OS is not going to like it but what about the the actual capability of the controller. So I found a data sheet for a fairly modern fd controller(the NCT6776F all in one)

Now I am not super sure, however if I am reading the data sheet correctly it looks like you could, if you were insane enough to spend the time on a lowlevel custom driver, format each track with a different number of sectors.

my next thought was the variable speed, this might be it, the pc floppy controller has no command to change drive speed, but I was not convinced, it may not be as efficient, but I could think of no reason it could not read still read the tracks at a fixed speed.

But I think the real reason a pc controller could not read apple floppies was that the on disk magnetic layout was GCR and the pc controller only understands MFM and FM, which ties into and changed my mind about the drive speed. if not designed for it the controller would not be happy about different sized magnetic zones.

https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/Nuvoton%20PDFs/N...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_floppy_disk_formats

As a fun tangent I learned there are commands in the controller for a tape drive . I have never seen(or even heard of) a tape drive on a floppy port, how common was it to have one?
Moving money around is way more expensive than you think it is, even digitally.
> I think you're embedding a value judgment in this (slow execution = bad) that is probably not shared by the people using the primitives

Can be... because I'm also a user, and it's frustrating to have the PC bloated by dozens of Electron-based apps using huge amounts of RAM, draining the battery more than necessary, and for part of them, actually slow to use. Perhaps some users don't care because they are either not sensitive to small delays or resource usage, or because they have never seen anything else.

I see also an environmental question arising here. More CPU cycles = more energy used. Makes no difference for applications used by small groups of people, but for software used in millions of copies, I'm wondering how many MWh we are wasting (I wouldn't care much —except for battery life— if energy was only from renewable sources... but it's not the case)

Pages like TEZ or the "Awesome XYZ" list repositories that have become rather popular on Github are perfectly fine.
Those are great hubs to get a grasp of what's available. Sometimes they are a little out of date, but if you're interested enough you'll find the up-to-date information by yourself :)

But these parasitic pages that pretend to be official (project) pages should be purged. :/
For now they might link to original releases, but they could very well switch to malicious downloads from one second to the next after having gained enough "trust" and traffic.

I think it needs to also be acknowledged that insurance itself is a moral hazard. Focusing on the "efficiency" and moral hazards of only the insureds is an incomplete analysis.

Insurance is a for-profit enterprise and as an expert told me, "the goal of insurance companies is to not pay claims". It essentially wants to be passive income at the end of the day.

Modern capitalism runs on insurance but should it? Health insurance is a great example: it shouldn't exist, and is unnecessary in single-payer systems. Car insurance is another example, where you can argue that insurance is locked-in to hide the fact that cars are systematically unsafe. Note how you don't need insurance to ride the subway.

The point is, insurance exists to make rich people richer off of risks that could be addressed socially in other ways. When we see that entire states are losing home insurance because of other systematic problems like climate change we should look at the system itself. Maybe making profit off of people's unavoidable risk isn't a great idea.

EDIT: in response to parent, my point is that focusing on the ills of regulators harming efficiency needs to account for the impossible job regulators have in the first place, which is making an unfair system (insurance) fair.
