The effects of THC aren't an on/off kind of thing. There is a huge range of middle ground between baseline and high in the sky. You wouldn't call someone medicated on Adderall as p…

dcron is very lightweight and has most of those features. Dunno about random delay/timeouts, but worst case those sound like a 10 line shell script away. https://github.com/dubious…

What makes you think adults don't like flavored liquids? Seems insane to suggest that adults would prefer the taste of ashtray over apple or orange (I like fruity aromas). I mostly…

For anyone who wants to go a similar route I can highly recommend OpenWrt as the OS. Not only does it run on cheap routers, but also on big x86 machines and even in VMs and/or cont…

If he had Twitter that would be a blast! Sadly he'd probably get banned like Trump's account. No fun allowed.

FWIW for portage (Gentoo) there is g-sorcery[0], which can create ebuilds for Emacs (m/elpa) and python packages automatically. Similarly there is also cargo-ebuild[1] which can cr…

>If you don't need a display manager, you very well might not need elogind, Yes, that's how I do it. At boot a service auto-logins on all vts and fires up an X server with my WM. S…

>haven't had cause to use it super regularly >I still sound a bit like an extremely out-of-date teenager. I don't think it's surprising that the way you speak hasn't changed much w…

Sounds like a lack of exposure to me. With enough experience you should have no trouble to tell if others are speaking in a certain manner that is associated with male, female, chi…

Same. I never check the "new" page, but this is the first time I've seen it and I've been reading HN almost daily for over half a decade. 2-3 years before Rust went 1.0 at least.

>OpenRC, ironically also reliant on DBUS. Not at all, although if you have any services that use dbus it might get started by one of them. On my system there isn't even a dbus serv…

That would suck for anything IPv6 (minimum MTU is 1280, as opposed to 576 or something around that).

You can add descriptive error messages when an error happens (like multiple mutable borrows) during macro expansion. Macros are just regular list code, so all runtime features like…

Common Lisp does have a "proper strong type system". What it doesn't have OOTB is is static type checking at compile time. Those two are orthogonal issues. Although with CLOS (obje…

What's the advantage of using the CFS quota mechanism over cgroups cpulimit? I've been using cgroups to successfully make heavy compile jobs unnoticeable by limiting CPU shares to …

I recommend PinePhone.

It used to be part of the kernel back in the day. It was called devfs. It was dropped because a userkspace implementaton is more flexible and easier to extend and tweak. udev also …

How could a rich existing power exert control over who and how someone uses bitcoin? There is no mechanism by which such control could be exerted. The worst you can do is monitor t…

>Windows 10 can run virtually all apps compiled against Windows 2000 just fine, and those apps did not have to bundle their own graphical toolkits. They do if they're buildtusing Q…

I do create my own "EFI stub" by embedding the kernel and initrd in a GRUB image as memdisk using grub-mkimage. Then I sign that using my own keys and copy it over to the EFI parti…

I don't share that view. While there are things that I'd really miss in 2000 era Internet today like Wikipedia, GitHub and maybe YouTube, the only thing that really sucked was the …

IIRC, the other way around. The editor who greenlighted the WIMP paper for print (and only because it was already an established name) regretted this decision once he saw the MACHO…

IANAP, but they're (among others, like MACHOs, primordial BHs, etc.) potential candidates for dark matter, yes.

>The competitors here are nintendo consoles, and the playstation. Nope, the competition is GPD and other UMPCs. Valve is quite clear about the fact that this is a PC , not a game c…

Of course a mathematician improves when gaining nowledge and understanding. The question is how fast that happens and how easily that can be applied in different contexts or how ha…
