I don't get why we talk about using complex numbers when doing quantum physics. What's really important is that we use numbers from an algebraically closed field (complex numbers b…

OneDev ( https://onedev.io/ ) is self-hostable, too, and works great.

Well, actually... The LTS kernel with longest support before 6.15 is 6.1. It will be supported until December 2027 [1] which is a few months over 20 years after the last 486 CPU [2…

In the broadest sense Android and IOS are similar to browsers: All are platforms that execute code given in a certain format and have APIs for interacting with the device. (The bro…

I have never been given a probiotic while getting an antibiotic. Seems like a good idea. Is that a common thing? Does the evidence support this?

Quantum computers deserve to be mentioned in discussions about analog computers. Under the assumption that nature is quantum at its core it follows that every analog computer could…

Why not load the minimal required content for it to look right first (e. g. thumbnail, video controls) and load everything else once the rest of the page has been loaded (e. g. buf…

That is a lot of text for not determining why the new solution is faster. The only relevant part: > Before our migration, the old pipeline utilized a C library accessed through a P…

On the framework discord it is speculated that it is most likely from the Lenovo Thinkbook 13x Gen 4 [1] [2]. Would fit in terms of specs, rounded corners etc. [1] https://www.leno…

There are earplugs that minimize certain frequencies, e. g. Flare Calmer [1]. They have a report with frequency response graphs [2]. No idea if this helps with tinnitus at all. [1]…

I agree - I think it is pretty clear that there is a difference between programming languages and other languages. Figuring out the differences (instead of getting wrong ideas beca…

The Minisforum V3 is a tablet that can also be used as a monitor via USB-C, so definitely possible. I wish more tablets would work that way.

Stimming helps autistic people. Refraining from stimming leads to increased anxiety in autism [1]. It can very well be the case that it does not help any allistic people, I'm not f…

Maybe stimming helps people with PTSD, too. Has anybody tried that?

Functions make assumptions all the time and there is often no way to specify them except with type information. E. g. one can specify that a function takes a float as input but not…

That not every customer wants an EV or that an EV is not the best car for every customer is no excuse for sales reps being subpar when it comes to EVs. Especially when the car indu…

Relying on no bugs in the entire software stack makes the attack surface quite large. If a laptop is stolen the thief can wait sufficiently long for some vulnerability to be discov…

They sent out an e mail an hour ago, batch 2 shipments starting later in October .

Does this hold up when taking quantum mechanics into account? Let's assume you need at least m = n ^2 particles for a physical system modelling a n by n matrix and model the change…

https://twitter.com/FrameworkPuter/status/161756634787729817... Currently have a ten year old HP printer, constantly causes problems. If Framework actually makes a printer I'll buy…

I'm from Germany, here sport is integrated into the timetable like every other subject. Sport is not that important here so I might underestimate the amount/impact of sports in US …

It would be interesting to measure IQ in childhood and 20 or 30 years later to see how many people have a significantly lower IQ as adults because of poor health choices.

Works in Gnome too.

I got a (consumer) SSD from SanDisk that says on the package "Compatible with Windows and Linux systems that take M.2 2280 PCIe 3 x 4 NVMe SSD's" yet I can't update the firmware fr…

One effect that might also be at play here is, assuming that excellence follows a Pareto distribution: If your team is very good, i.e. on one end of the distribution, most products…
