I'm not familiar with the German universiry system, but I think a 1 hour, 2 professors (or one professor and one PhD student) would be impossible to scale. A class of about 100 stu…

Internet didn't disappear after the dotcom crash, but a lot of money did. This is what could happen here I think.

Three/four years of (honest) work is usually worth to publish. The result might not be high impact (and thus end up in a lower tier journal, sadly) but knowing what didn't work is …

This is one of my favourites Internet conspiracies from those times. I'm somewhat sad conspiracy theories are not that playful anymore...

I've charged a Mac with the Switch cable, and a Switch with the Mac brick. Nowadays I charge everything with the same brick from a dell laptop from 2018. Is it the most efficient? …

Usually it is obvious, but sometimes you'll find weird combinations (or surnames that are usually names) that can throw you off. The trick (both for Portuguese and Spanish) is to t…

If you read the last link you'll see he just means Apple could slash its hardware margins (if needed) and still make tons of money. As we saw recently, they decided they are, after…

I like the aur wrappers for the convenience, but if I've already limited my AUR consumption quite a bit, I think from now on all aur updates will be manual. One thing programs like…

I think it is simpler than that. For a lot of people he's the one who "created the AI"* so he is the reason they have been fired. That's it, I don't think much of the rest has any …

The issue I see here is: what counts as social media? Is this site social media? Will anything with a comment box be banned? If yes, what about online newspapers? If not, how will …

I agree. This is the first time I regret updating macOs. I hoped the .1 or .2 would fix things, but I'm still seeing glitches and even random freezes. Microsoft is a disaster right…

I find the "censorship" frame funny. This is happening because certain countries in Europe are governed by soccer oligarchs instead of big tech. Choose your poison, I guess.

I'm in the same boat. Although I would also be willing to go back to Apple if they release a truly small phone. But I'm forced to carry one of these gigantic beasts I want to be ab…

As far as I know it is only EU. Both UK and Switzerland have some operators that roam and some that do not. fwiw, fastweb in Italy provides roaming in both and has a very generous …

I'd be fine with a warning. You can just dismiss it and continue doing your thing. It is a bit more convoluted in macOS now but still something quick. What Google is saying is that…

iirc, part of the problem is that the main ISP (Movistar) is also a football rightholder (Movistar +). So they have decided that blocking cloudflare is profitable for them.

Apparently in Spain they can: https://www.reddit.com/r/CloudFlare/comments/1j7yx5y/i_cant_...

Hi Charlie what happens in a situation in which I might have access to a login node, from which I can install packages, but then the computing nodes don't have internet access. Can…

Not GP, but for me it means that this is affordable for someone "not a billionaire" (for example if your family happens to be from London since generations). I would keep the Londo…

This is what I fear as well: some companies might adopt a "sustainable" approach to AI, but others will dynamite the entry path to their companies. Of course, if your only goal is …

Very interestingly, I tried to write "gender" and mistakenly wrote "gendea". The search engine, trying to be helpful, gave me: "No results found for 'gendea'. Showing results for g…

While I don't particularly like twitter (X), in a situation like this it probably has a better reach than the website of REE. That said, twitter should allow for official profiles …

I think anaconda's rug pull was on the repository (you can still use packages from conda-forge for free). uv just uses pypi, so it would be just a question of changing from uv to p…

I felt real joy reading this, thanks :) As someone starting to feel a bit of burnout I think I needed to read something like this.

Same here. I'm still using my 11" MacBook because it is the only one that fits in my handbag :)
