It has been argued before [0] that Leibniz notation being embraced in mainland Europe and not adopted in England/UK was the reason England fell about a century behind. First heard …

Neither did I, until I got this lovely idiot who's probably bipolar and probably on the spectrum. They're motivated by food, yes; and we're motivated by unconditional love.

Feynman on mathematicians vs physicist https://youtu.be/obCjODeoLVw?si=2akBzyo-fC2j90OH Entertaining viewpoint

Not sure if GP meant the math for just the trains bit. There is an increase in handling, and everytime the container changes hands, it's going to cost (assuming dearly). First the …

There was also IMP/Horde and these days we have rainloop too.

I echo GPs thoughts. I use a VPS with syncthing. While that is also clunky, it works for my usecase while keeping multiple redundant copies across devices.

When buying an expensive (relatively) computer was a big deal in my house, I had a hard time convincing my dad about the iBook G3 which didn't come with a floppy drive. Apple has b…

I might be wrong, but VSCode didn't work (for me) on 13.x and I ran across a few forum posts for others who couldn't get it done either. I had very little time to figure out the ri…

1. Servers, I'm partial to openBSD because of a saner IMO /etc and works-out-of-the-box (for me). My coworker is the more freebsd kind and since he does the work, his opinion preva…

Math stack exchange IIRC is independent of stack exchange

They state on their webpage that they have bought a lifetime supply of those chips. I wouldn't call them EOL

I stand corrected. It was just about time, considering there was a jestful tricking the developer of relayd to reprogram it to httpd. IIRC he got epic tricked into it! In the sense…

Not sure about now, but at least a couple of years ago it didn't support SNI either. What I love about openBSD documentation is that if it's not there in the docs, one can be sure …

Exactly, even large textfile based DNS servers have capability to "compile" the textfile to a db file for faster access.

WSL on windows uses plan 9 protocol(s) to mount my linux VM as a folder under windows. *As suggested by another HNer.

Thank you! That would be me. I am clueless on amd64 on how to speed up the boot process and maybe change a few fonts during boot. I understand the reasons for no "how-tos". But som…

I am not a programmer (yet). I am an openBSD fanboy. I've read stories of people reading the code and raving about the quality. It does tick 2 of the checkboxes you mentioned (not …

Vulkan seems to be incomplete. Graphics drivers for Nvidia are a problem due to the project not accepting blobs, not signing NDAs. And today I had a problem installing matplotlib (…

Since a lot of people are talking about themselves so openly, I feel a compulsion too. I hide behind perfection. Learning maths, programming, sports, health. Of course I need a per…

My first reaction to your comment was that it was probably missing a "/s" at the end. Rationale - I last did HTML when Netscape Navigator/ Communicator was still around. IIRC, usua…

>I don't give a rat's ass if there's a proof or not connecting the two. Life is too short for proofs. - Gilbert Strang (in one of his lectures)

I have a slightly orthogonal take. I am not a programmer (yet). A long time ago, I wanted to get into photography. I researched equipment, effects, lighting, etc. Then I happened u…

I am a history enthusiast. I have a reason to believe this belief by populations in untruths is short term (I'd define it as Long term chronicling goes beyond short term propoganda…

I have setup a PRI to SIP channel before using elastix (now discontinued and bought by 3CX I think). This needs investigation, but - Over the top of my head, I think you could prob…
