Impressive. Someone should do jq-jit too. I briefly looked into it and it seems like it would be _a lot_ of effort :/

Long time Android user, switched to iPhone when I broke the screen of my Google-gifted Nexus 3a. Final straw was the latest update. Every widget became bigger, with a border radius…

If capitalism causes censorship, that doesn't mean it's necessarily the worst at causing censorship. Additionally, we don't live in a stationary society, so, whatever capitalism di…

I did some research on PII being harvested by Android apps. TL;DR: The EU could pay a couple of reverse engineers for 2 months and print money out of fines. I was shocked to discov…

Tbh Unix programs don't handle non-ASCII text very well, in my experience.

You can do a lot with just bash + pipes + unix tools. It can get messy as your pipeline grows though, and there are a lot of edge cases. Relevant: "bashML: Why Spark when you can B…

I most certainly didn't imply that (: But you did say it was illegal. Seems to me there are exceptions if that picture is to be trusted.e

Guilty too. I had this idea to improve the order in which I should study kanjis. Ended up with a neo4j instance with kanjis, kanji components (not just radicals), words, and how th…

My problem with Twitter is that a lot of researchers I follow make a lot of noise (e.g.: giving their opinions on things 10 times a day, tweeting random "facts" about life, etc...)…

I think the question is not if you *can* work that many hours but if you *should* do it. Ofc there will be a minority of people that perhaps even enjoy it, but the vast majority is…

I am using descript for a project of mine. You can definitely still hear that they are AI-generated. But I'm sure it's not gonna take long. Couple this with SSML and it's going to …

They've been using wifi/cellphone data to track tourists' flow for at least a couple of years. What seems new is the control tower thingie (Orwellian af) and the tracking of the to…

Actually I think the biggest problem is predicting correctly all the jump targets.
