Not my project but this video seems to imply that it has no problem with performance whatsoever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hai7cavmUY

I kind of like this guy, as in he is funny. But seeing the previous linux sucks videos as well, I must say that he most definitely don't have a too deep knowledge of linux - and it…

No, nix can cache already built binaries with hydra, so on a normal system it simply downloads from there - same speed as apt or the like. During the audit they likely disabled it,…

It sounds like "this is the first time I've seen this build system and don't really see how it works, would be better to change it to a more often used one". Which is fair for a se…

`nix-env -iA nixos.emacs` But I do agree with you, it's not as straight-forward as it should be yet. But I absolutely love how I can be certain that no garbage is accumulating on m…

They all use different UI toolkits, some are gtk, some are java UIs, some are electron-based apps. So that's why - it's a higher level problem that is unfortunately inherent to des…

That's why designing the actual program is important. Also, static and strong typing for powerful refactoring plus extensive tests, and you can refact that Dragon class into someth…

But that's not true. While lethality is estimated at tops 3.6%, the cases requiring hospitalization, including breathing apparatus, etc are quite high, and it WILL overflood the ca…

As he wrote it in the article, OCR is an order of magnitude slower.

What do you mean? As I understand it it depends on the font - you can provide any sort of encoding. So Unicode is there, I don't see how that would be harder than with the latin ab…

Yeah, it's better with HTML than with PDF, but it's still pretty terrible... Use some actually structured data format like XML (XHTML would be good), because you don't want to incl…

Strangely, I am on the opposite site - that programming is more of a subset of mathematics (or at least should be) than engineering and since theoretically many parts of the progra…

I never really understood brave. It's basically chromium with some google tracking removed and with some inbuilt "extension". You get the same with firefox plus ublock origin, whil…

Wouldn't running a private instance be the same as directly queryint google? Like, it queries through the same IP you use, and can build a profile just using that.

It's more of an automatic thing (it's usually due to VPN) since many people connect from the same IP at near the same time. It's even worsr with TOR

And they so squash bugs? Yeah there def some old ones, but a priority was chosen for them and work continuous based on that.

I still don't see what's to like on brave. It's basically chrome with ublock origin and https anywhere and like maybe one or two more privacy-oriented extension - why is there a ne…

Not as efficient as a freaking train with hundreds of people transporting basically only what is needed.

What's your opinion on Nix? Would that count as an improvement in determinism?

They can track it with a simple js onclick handler, or a simple redirect on their server, that's not the problem. (They do both btw.) The problem is that they want to track what I …

But handwriting is important not only for the exact skill, but because it is one of the most demanding fine-movement we will ever do - missing out/not properly learning that in an …

That would require exponential amounts of binaries.

I was dismissing powershell for a great deal of time until I eventually looked into it more and I have to say, I'm impressed by it. Though it can be used on linux, it doesn't feel …

You can already do that with protonmail. There are three buttons available when writing an email, doing exactly that.

I recently switched to qwant, seems to be a decent search engine, owned by a European company (as far as I know ddg is american, so pretty weak legal protection of user data). Thou…
