I would not call Mamdani a populist, but I don't follow the political situation in usa that closely

Every populist party works that way, by promising very "sensible" thing. They work like an echo chamber for trendy political ideas. Whether or not they are actually capable or even…

Tbh I'm no5 sure I've even seen an IPO where the price didn't collapse initially.

I don't really get the point of the article. Even if I knew little about python, would be it surpsing that a language with no real basic types is probably abstracting a lot? Even a…

I think this call for something similar to "__builtin_expect" or linux' likely()/unlikely(). Not very clean, but better than inserting obscure optimisations in the source.

Some level of english is required in every country. And you are exposed to it quite frequently in a way or the other (which european country doest start teaching it from elementary…

I know some electronic and mech engineers with no german skills, but it's always in young startup in major cities.

I think there is also a chicken-egg problem in almost every country that doesn't use English as official language: If you are not an engineer you must have an almost excellent leve…

My friend if my thermometer reads 38-39 I don't need a walk to the doctor to confirm I need to rest for the day.

"As part of Merz's proposals, from January next year, workers will no longer be able to get a sick note over the phone. They must visit a doctor in person and on the first day of i…

Ahh that's true, I forgot how badly prices are raising

Well it's also more than double the price

I imagine, be he mentions video playback on youtube making things worse, and he does have a dedicated amd gpu. But iirc for both Firefox and chromium on Linux desktop hw accelerati…

I see the problem, but I don't see a clear analysis on the actual source of the problem. I assumed the issue was mainly single core performance, but he is also suggesting context s…

Others comments already mentioned multimedia, but for example where I work we have some development board and prototypes with 10g ethernet, but most developers have a laptop rather…

I only have a couple of things in /opt/ and some manually installed fonts, and vim plugins in my home. Everything else that I don't use often lives in the original cloned git repo …

But it's one middle man less. Git repo have been attacked other times in the past, but a 500/1000 stars project still sounds more trustworthy than a user repository managed by rand…

I get it, but you only need to do that for the odd cases of packages not present in the official repo (not that common at all for me at least). Also if the software is downloaded i…

I cringed hard when some people started to make pacman wrappers that could install from AUR directly. I've installed stuff from the aur before but most of the times I prefer to ski…

So does a random number generator

Oh looks like there is. mkv does and looks like mpv and vlc will respect that flag. For other formats I'm not so sure

That's considered a feature in the community. Burning subs on the video trace is considered bad, but most video player will not automatically show any subtitle track.

A lot of these higher-end sbc have been out-of-stock for a while now, I've been trying to find an o6 since a few months.

I will add to the list that for some weird reason in my country original language is not always available for all movies, and the subtitle experience in genenal is lacking.
