There's a computerphile video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZJc1p6RE78 ) with Dr. Mark Pound explaining a paper by John Kirchenbauer, Jonas Geiping et al. ( https://arxiv.org/…

Yes. In the ideal world messaging would've have followed the same federalized model as email. XMPP offers this, unfortunately few people use it or even are aware of it.

A lot of people, out of habit, rely on high fructose corn syrup for calories.

Do you have any experience with pup to compare with yq? That's the jq look-alike for HTML I first stumbled upon.

Also here's a blog post about the Corner going into more details: https://m-chrzan.xyz/blog/sunday-corner.html

pass is great. I use the dmenu script to get passwords into my clipboard without leaving the keyboard or being locked into browsers with a supported extension. As others have menti…

I don't want to come of as insensitive, it sounds like you've had some really bad experiences with ternaries in the past and it's important to acknowledge your experience. But I ju…

Do I understand correctly that the encoding is only done to obfuscate the URL from automatic spam filters? So the choice of Morse code was arbitrary - any other simple substitution…

Looks like a nice tool, but it seems to be built around a very specific workflow that you've found works for you. Personally I have been managing most of my plaintext notes with th…

What makes it cooler?

I believe the point of these tools is to be UNIXy, doing one thing well, and delegating the rest to other tools you already use. The script just downloads source code and drops you…

Looks like github1s really kicked off everyone making these git previewers. Thread about git-peek (which the author here cites as inspiration) from a few days ago: https://news.yco…

What exactly do you need this for? If it's for authenticating with their IMAP/SMTP, app passwords have worked for me with Gmail, even on 2FA-secured G Suite accounts. No idea about…

Do you have any recommend resources for someome "with at minimal tech know-how" where to get started with running their own email infrastructure?

This is specifically what you shouldn't be worried about just based on the speedup that the article focuses on. This is about a constant-factor speedup from a better-engineered cla…

Note that this is not about quantum speedup, but, rather conversely, making the classical part of the computation more efficient. Still important to get these quantum-adjacent thin…

Could it be that people are just so used to platforms, that even in the case of the email protocol, they prefer to jump onto the Gmail platform that abstracts away from the protoco…

Would the inverse prefix, for 10^-27, be holi-?

I've always thought the solution should be an open federated IM standard, like email but for conversations rather than correspondence. If that were the widely adopted solution, you…

Automata theory aficionado here. Regular languages are really neat! They have an air of being an "important" mathematical object, given how many different "natural" characterizatio…

Nice! I've gotten so jaded with how big and slow most of the modern web is, that randomly stumbling upon a tiny site prompted me to write about the joy of it on my blog (a much les…
