Are you an Engul user? Syllabic scripts for English are rare. Usually people use letters.

Well, I haven't made that up myself - I got the idea from linguistics books - and from people that lived there for a long time. And those linguists were very clear that the languag…

When learning a bit of Japanese to me it was quite obvious that the script was most likely intentionally left (or made) complicated. By using a normal alphabet that actually fits t…

Yes it does. In some distributions receiving calls was a problem (they slept too deep and woke up too slow). With Mobian for me it now works stable enough to be used as a daily dri…

Well, it works fine as a phone. With Mobian it is stable enough for me to be a daily driver. When I need performance I usually turn to real computers or specialized gadgets.

I'm on Windows. Other OS may differ. I experimented a lot with load times - and compared HDD, SSD, RAM-Disk. I wrote a small program that loads everything from a big code-repositor…

Improvements in build-time are very valuable to me. But I'm not sure if a cloud would help me much. Synching can easily eat up 10s. Also my tools are very unique (including a parse…

I recently experimented with a ram disk. Practically it didn't change anything. OS-caching seems to already be clever enough and once the OS has figured out that some directories a…

Great news... Compile time or a clean build? I use similar tooling (older version... :-)). And I'm starting to evaluate what's going on with those new versions.

Comparing compile times is done rarely. I sometimes tried to google some comparisons, but didn't find much. For a typical 1,5 MLOC project my clean build times are sitting around 4…

I don't know about China, but the whole science around COVID seems to have a really strong cultural component that before was totally unfamiliar to me. When looking at some German …

That keyboard was fantastic. I hope the PinePhone Keyboard will be able to reach this level.

I once took one of these online-tests for spotting deep fakes. By marking anything that has reflections in the eyes as fake I got only 1 answer wrong (the real guy there looked rea…

And still nobody bothered to check what kind of trend-changes are visible in the epidemiological curves around the time of masking. People never look at "date of death" or "infecti…

I use Mobian on the Pinephone as a daily driver. Other distributions I tried were not stable.

I don't really know what those people in physics do, but as a mathematician my definition of a time-crystal would be a 4-dimensional discrete structure. You have some 4-dimensional…

I'm not very optimistic about avoiding a "Dark Age". Rational thinking and the idea to look at data seems to be completely foreign to most people I know. Higher educated people see…

1:1 is also nice. https://www.eizo.com/products/flexscan/ev2730q/

A few patterns about rationality I have seen a lot recently: False rationality - People claim to be rational while touting some dogma they learned somewhere. Not even looking at an…

I liked the Celestron Nexstar 6SE. Weight still ok and not too small. Something to tinker with a bit and quite easy to use.

Good that people sometimes remember that a more modern base for physics would be nice. Doing electrodynamics without using alternating products and differential forms feels so wron…

Problem is - by removing sane people the thing will become even more insane... And most people there are unable to notice - they form democratic majority - nowadays things can acce…

Even more disturbing is that people outright refuse to take a look at numbers to check what measures actually did. Just mentioning datasources and asking people to look can attract…

The number of of actively infected non-quarantined people is relevant. Take a look at RKI-dashboard for Jena. This Jena paper is a serious fake. I think mask measures are not worki…
