The conventional wisdom of "buy equities regardless of price" doesn't make much sense to me. I can temporarily convince myself it's the smart thing to do, but the thought of puttin…

I really like FreeBSD. I would very much like to run it on one of my laptops, but wireless NIC driver support has been an issue, so I'm currently running OpenBSD on one instead. Ne…

I once posted a nascent open-source project to reddit and it got shredded, but someone pointed me to some prior art. I studied the suggested materials, and thanks to that feedback …

Did you watch through to the end of the video? They show an example of using a different dataset, and it looks much less like a dashcam. I'm amazed by the results.

Wow, this is the first time I've seen the computed goto extension. Delightfully gross! https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Labels-as-Values.html

I agree that CNN and Fox are both disgustingly biased. I appreciate BBC's journalistic standards, but I think they are the exception rather than the norm. I think Poland's case is …

I spent a couple weeks casually studying about both, and finally hitched my wagon to Guix. The careful separation of free and non-free software is incredibly refreshing. I apprecia…

Aren't they dropping support for the Linux kernel? I think guix is cool, but I'm not interested in being force-fed the Hurd.

Very cool. I have dreamed of building something similar. I would be interested in these modifications: 1. Change living/non-living distinction of food to two different dimensions, …

I imagine you sometimes have reservations about whether to make a moderation decision public, like the one in this thread, but seeing these judgements is always a reminder of how t…

Source? I searched a bit, and didn't find any evidence of scam call centers with more than "dozens" of employees. I'm skeptical.

I've been procrastinating learning awk for a while now. Thanks for this, I read it and it's just what I needed.
