This didn't get traction but this is big news, mostly for reasons not mentioned in this article: 1. It's a RISC-V chip, which means freedom from licensing fees. 2. It is built on 2…

Thanks for taking a look! You are correct that we are not competing with the cheapest offerings available there are two key things that are different with us compared to some low-c…

Oh very cool! Is the lamp being made in Canada?

https://colocataires.dev/ Trying to build a small-scale ISP/hosting provider domiciled in Canada. We really want to be able to rent real rack space to enthusiasts who would like to…

It didn't really come out of academia in that way. It was an innovation borne out of necessity during Covid. I don't think I've seen anybody using a box design for it. If you have …

Of course, but I know people who live in the UK who are not white. Some have lived there all their lives, even. Perhaps this drivel doesn't upset them but I can imagine how it migh…

I think framework made a misstep with this spornsorship deal. I still think they should be supported in their mission and you don't have to regret your purchase.

That article spends a lot of words in trying to paint DHH's "native Brits" in a positive light but never mentions the following sentence from the article: > A statistic as evident …

Fair. Just wanted to provide my stroke and warn people about a low quality, overhyped project. Doesn't mean it shouldn't exist or people can't use it.

No need for a boatload of shell scripts that's omarchy. Just install any distro and get going.

This is an interesting article but unfortunately there's some brigading of this thread by new accounts that's leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

There is an open proposal to implement it without some of Bluesky's downsides. https://github.com/mastodon/featured_collections

I'm almost more interested in how a 20-something with no apparent prior pedigree lands a Simon and Schuster debut novel contract!

There is a lot of incoherence in this reply but I'll just address the second last: that less well-off people were more likely to vote for Brexit. Not only is this narrative just a …

It seems abandoned.

I see you created the account to just post this so you're highly likely to not be worth the response but "native brit" is vague not because British people don't exist - there is a …

You can treat DoomEmacs or Spacemacs similarly. They provide an opinionated and streamlined way to interacting with Emacs. Doom is closer to "vanilla" than Spacemacs but I have use…

If you look at his LinkedIn he lists his thesis title, and googling that will bring you to it, hosted on his site.

Yes, and I respect that. It has allowed it to retain its original purpose of being a living space first and an architectural curiosity second.

Like OJFord mentions, it is a bit far from amenities despite the straight line distance to them not being great because it's built on an island in the river and you have to cross t…

This was great and the photos were good too! I have a similar sort of fascination with a structure closer to me: Habitat 67 in Montreal. I have at various points considered buying …

This is a weird line of reasoning. By this logic the aggressors will always win because the other side should always concede territory for peace. Even if Kashmir is ceded to Pakist…

They haven't published one for this year yet but they do a separate article for pencils. From last year: https://www.jetpens.com/blog/The-27-Best-Pencils-for-2024-Wo...

I basically don't read much pop sci anymore because they are almost always bad, and the science from the good ones is better read unfiltered through papers and the journals do a go…

As somebody who lived in Ottawa at the time, this was not good coverage. Neither was DHH's. It was incredibly rage-inducing to read in real time as it was happening too. My takeawa…
