Why not use AI to speed up the Python runtime? V8 showed what focused engineering can do for JavaScript, and Astral showed how much room there is to improve Python tooling. The sam…

Volcanic winters are far more frequent than catastrophic asteroid blasts. Disregarding a volcanic winter possibility and its impact is like disregarding the possibility of a pandem…

I wonder where they store coal waste.

Nice! Now moving from Windows to Linux is the "easy", visible part. Replacing US cloud + US AI dependence end to end is much harder, and that’s the real deal today.

Wouldn't that imply that design is solved (at least regarding visual elements discussed here)? Then why not move onto other things? Why self-sabotage their success?

Use them for what they are (hints, documentation). Use it for gradual typing when implementation makes it hard to understand return or parameters types. But don't enforce it across…

Of course you can alias, but I was not very clear indeed. My point is that these tools ship multiple commands (z, zi, etc. autojump does too). I treat core shell commands as interf…

Those kind of tools should have the same name as the command they replace, I don’t want to change my workflow with this or that. I think a simple wrapper over cd with fzf is good e…

How complete is it? I can't reach the page, it can't decide if I'm a robot or not.

Come to Europe!

So is domestic aviation negligible in every way? Is non-domestic aviation part of the transport category? Not clear to me.

This is the regular current taboo. Micro-dust from tires and brakes contributes to half of an ICE vehicle’s pollution, with the other half coming from exhaust emissions. The amount…

The sharp rise in the rat population in my city coincides with a new regulation requiring food waste to be placed in a thin, dedicated bag outside. Since collection is delayed, the…

Rigrep and fzf in bash and vim.

"Ambergris has been synthesized, but its synthetic versions are not convincing. They lack an indefinable something that is gained only after years spent at sea." Probably a bit lik…

> incredibly superior to a cell phone I guess YMMV. I've recently had the chance to test drive some of the latest models from BMW and Audi, and honestly, I found their infotainment…

I still drive a 2008 model car with nothing more than a radio and a basic Bluetooth handsfree system, and it's all I've ever needed. When I bought the car, I consciously opted out …

Interesting. EV are 10 to 20% heavier than a comparable ICE vehicle. So, if we follow this 4th power law, an EV impact on the road would be 50 to 100% more than its equivalent ICE.…

We could get inspiration from the case of the record industry against Napster, or cabs VS Uber. Both parties are somehow abusing their position, but the world is moving on. Rent se…

I was early adopter and managed to get a 2-letter username but I’ve also been renamed to -xx without notice and any explanation :(

They first need to build European-style mindset to properly take advantage of this.

The key is to ensure your x86 code is run with Rosetta instead of being emulated (with qemu for instance). By upgrading to Ventura and using the latest Docker Desktop which allows …

That's why we have conventions: to avoid wasting time arguing about which style to use here and there. I wasted more time reading this article than I will ever waste with lower/upp…

Yes that’s the correct explanation: 1/120 speed for 220mm focal length equivalent is far too slow, at least 1 EV. The stabilization is probably not on par with big pro lenses and S…
