Jains would be vegan though i assume?

Questions for those who like the grid layout of virtual desktops - how does it (or should it?) interact with multi monitor setups? Feels like this would break or at least compromis…

Even the linked ghostty PR on your home shows this - this is Firefox Android on a Nokia XR21 / TA-1486. It's not unuseable, but it definitely feels like 'js hacking my scrolling' a…

I disagree with the theory that scrolling frame rate doesn't need to be smooth for scrolling to feel smooth. On mobile it kinda does. Scrolling diffs on mobile just kinda feels cra…

See what you get for saying things with subtlety instead of hype these days... sigh.

> I chalked it up to a power trip and the indignant behavior that comes along with it, as it is especially embedded in the culture of the country that I'm based out of. That's a ve…

I have a consumer motion-triggered camera that is armed 24/7 and records for 30 seconds after each trigger. It has WiFi and serves playback itself, as well as of course video encod…

I have often wondered if Chinese is a much 'better' language for LLMs - every character is a token, boom you're done. No weird subword nonsense, no strange semantics being applied …

That sounds really interesting, but my google-fu is not up to task here, I'm getting pages and pages of nonsense asking if Claude is conscious. Can you elaborate?

I thought the term for those were 'sane languages', and I say that as a native English speaker :)

Well yeah, if everything runs unsandboxed as root then there are no privilege escalations! Less pithy, i seem to recall many issue with programs that relied on suid and permission …

Yeah Goodin's stuff is often slop.. Probably human slop but slop nonetheless.

The 'same length for complementary names' thing is great.

I want a keyboard switch with a weight on the end of a lever, typewriter or piano style. Or some other mechanism whereby the resistance would be constant or even reverse-linear-ish…

The rendering is very cool, but what i really want is this as a renderer i can plug into Vega. Vega/VGlite have amazing charting expressivity in their spec language, most other cha…

In the era of solar power saturating the grid in daytime, the energy cost is far less of an issue - At least, I assume California has similar characteristics to Australia in this r…

Singapore could be due to being a common VPN exit node for within SE Asia? Close by and avoids the most common regional blacklists (and gov firewalls of course).

I think that was the intent of Go's design, but in practise i think it normally devolves into an overly verbose '?' with a poorly typed Result . As a Go dev, I'm looking at this ar…

The issue (i think) is that the animation is done post-rasterizing. So a translate of integer pixels is fine, but scale? Skew? Suddenly you have really visible colour fringing appe…

Wow, even if it wasn't so fast, I'd be tempted to use this solely due to their support of intersection (A & B) types! This is a sore omission from the standard python typing system…

Gnome works OK with integer scaling, more granular than this and you're up shit creek. E.G. can you set one screen to 150% and one to 175%? (I think the answer to this is 'technica…

Gnome is wayland, but they are very stubborn about the extensions they will/won't implement. For example, mixed dpi scaling, server side decorations, accessibility protocols all wo…

They attempt to avoid them, though snaps are still available if you wish. Flatpak is installed by default and used by their app store, and Firefox is packaged as a deb so you can a…

Interested in tangent replies to this, even if such fonts are artistically unsuitable for games - are open source fonts OK for Japanese? I understand that Unicode denotes single ch…

Jesus Christ, i can't even get my own package to reliably self-publish in CI without ending up with a fragile pile of twigs, I'm awed they are able to automate infection like that.…
