    I used BareMetal and Pure64 as a source of inspiration and knowledge while writing an OS as a student. It is simple and well written. I miss the days of reading AMD64 manuals and d…

    Woah! It is the same guy that got me through my algorithms course at university with his youtube MIT OpenCourseWare videos! His lectures are absolute gold. He explains everything s…

    Interesting. Personally, I find IRC incredible frustrating exactly because I can't easily see the history and continue conversations. I usually connect to IRC channels through a br…

    I use Nextcloud hosted on Hetzner. It is pretty cheap and supports almost all systems I can think of. It feels a bit sluggish at times (slow sync, apps can be buggy), but I'm prett…

    I have been writing a journal for about 6 years now. I usually write 3 entries a week spanning from a few sentences to hundreds of words. Personally, I feel there are many benefits…

    I am incredibly annoyed by slow websites. I noticed that I have started using my browser in a very asynchronous way where I open multiple tabs, do a single action, and move to the …

    If this really lets me block certain websites for good, then I'm sold. I absolutely hate those sites that scrape other well-known sites (like StackOverflow, Quora, Reddit) and add …

    I completely agree, typing on 3310 was much more fun. I absolutely hate typing more than 3 words on my iPhone. Not only are the keys too small for my large-ish fingers, but regular…

    Living in Europe, I couldn't believe that if I wanted to unsubscribe to New York Times, I would need to call one of their hotlines which operated in US time-zones. IIRC the open ho…

    One of my very first PC games was the Lego Racer 2. Although the racing was not as good as in the first game, it still had some interesting elements. I was completely blown away th…

    I drew a beautiful sea turtle; I was sure it was going to guess it! But no, it couldn't. Then I checked the training set, and it was full of tortoises... I guess they should check …

    That makes perfect sense. Thanks for the excellent explanation, Nition!

    I do not quite understand how the guys in the simulation can determine which level they are at. If L1 universe interferes with L2, will the guys in L2 see the divergence in L3? How…

    I was really entertained by a little note in the manual for the watch: "NOTE: THERE IS NO WAY unit components can be damaged or malfunction due to misoperation of buttons. If confu…

    I hesitate to write that I am depressed after reading so many tragic and heartbreaking comments... My everyday life just seems so good in comparison. I've recently graduated from a…

    Not being able to select your own hardware for a job is perhaps one of my worst experiences to date. At one company, I was handed laptop with an older version of Windows, preinstal…

    I think this is spot on, at least for me personally. I am not very good at mathematics, so I never questioned my professors when they said that "You cannot treat infinites as regul…

    I used to have an ASUS EEE PC from about 2010 (I think it was 1215P). It was an incredible machine -- it was cheap for a student, fairly powerful for internet browsing, text editin…

    I can also highly recommend the PyBoy[0] project for Game Boy emulation. It is written in Python, has an accompanying report for documentation, and is still being developed. It pro…

    Yes, but even though I myself have created my own Linux distro, I would absolutely not be able to do that with restricted internet access, without access to the guide-books, and wi…

    It has always amazed me that North Korea is able to create an OS like Red Star. I assume it takes a lot of knowledge and skill to stitch together such an OS, with fairly "unique" s…
