Nix has a high learning curve. I now use Devbox [0] as it hides all the complexity of Nix while still giving all the benefits. Now I install far more packages via devbox (or devbox…

The bigger problem for me is buying Ebooks without DRM, which are cheaper than the paperback. I see no reason why I should be paying the same (or often more) than the paperback ver…

They way we usually do, by restricting their access to EU markets unless they comply and/or fine them, and/or threats about nationalizing the "EU Google". What is the US going to d…

Could you please elaborate on how this is different than the other python based modeling tools - build123d[0] and CadQuery[1]. I recently also got annoyed with OpenSCAD and its lim…

I was thinking along the lines of how much I actually watch, if I only watched 10 minutes of your show, I only pay for 10 minutes, not the entire thing. You're also saving on bandw…

All streaming services should have a pay per minute system as an alternative to the fixed monthly subscription. That way, I'd happily use any service to watch whatever cause it wou…

From the article - > this paper was not a retrospective study of electronic health records, it was a randomized clinical trial, which is the gold standard. This means that we’ll be…

Not who you're asking. I really don't see why we're still using A/C inside our houses / apartments. I understand that the transmission loss is lower when sending A/C, so it makes s…

Well, there is packet inspection. My ISP / Government will know.

I think what they meant is that if it's hosted online / home-network, only allow access to all services through a VPN. Wireguard is relatively easy to setup, and you can configure …

Wouldn't the share holders care more about the profits of the company which are then being given as dividends instead of the price they can trade the share price at? Isn't the amou…

I bought some cheap Chromebooks (100-150 euros, second hand), and removed nearly every app on them, apart for one for writing. Having a separate device for separate tasks, can ofte…

If I may ask - why? Why is increasing your code coverage to 100% matter? Would that reduce bugs or speed up development in any way? Wouldn't it just add lots more code to maintain …

The aggregate is the number of attempts at "Entrepreneurship" across class boundaries. The thesis is that Middle class kids get far fewer attempts vs richer kids. In that context, …

Genuine question: Is Github profitable? I can't seem to figure out if it was before or after the acquisition from Microsoft.

It doesn't. Neither does the website. An article from Yahoo [0] says it's "$29.99 per month or $167.99 per year", but they don't link to a source. [0] - https://au.finance.yahoo.co…

Duolingo seems like they have separate teams for iOS, Android and Web. Their iOS team seems to be the one who experiment the most with new features, and then they either get discar…

The title seems quite disingenuous. A better description would be "A PHP based web app which calls OpenAI's Whisper API to transcribe speech"

Mate, I'm very confused. The first result in Google [1] which I often use, lets me paste a unix timestamp in seconds, milliseconds or nano seconds, and it accordingly converts it t…

If I may ask, have you found using a Typed language such as Typescript has changed your tendency to use Python for other tasks, given that it isn't typed? [0] [0] - I understand th…
