I use the em-dash quite often but tend to forget that I need to hit `-` twice to get it to appear in markdown. Used to be an oversight on my part but now I stick to it so people ca…

Apple are creating a walled marketing garden with their new privacy features too. If a person pays for iCloud storage of any time they get placed onto the Apple VPN and their IP ad…

Growth can be achieved with productivity gains where you produce the same amount with fewer resources.

I'm a fan of nhexl-mode in emacs. It does take a while to open large binaries (dozens of gigabytes), however I've managed to use it to do some rudimentary swapping out of video fil…

I suppose there is meant to be a tipping point where the humans should be able to step back after the AI has learnt enough from watching them. Perhaps they were struggling to reach…

They've had a binary version of the full fat linux kernel available for a few years now. Other packages like firefox-bin have been available since before I started using gentoo in …

I use gentoo on my desktop and debian on an old refurb thinkpad I got for £100. Both of them are amongst the last of the large independent linux distros and I think both approaches…

tmux defaults don't play nicely with the Apple Terminal. Resizing split panes for example collides with switching workspaces in macOS finder.

This is partially true but I believe that the only component ChromeOS uses from Gentoo is the portage package manager during some of its bootstrapping protocols.

I think this is unfair - Arch is also meme'd by linux enthusiasts and 4chan. Additionally, Gentoo is the largest distro with the source-based package manager USP. I suppose you cou…

That's it! You've all been holding me back too long. I'm going to clown college!

This is very similar to Aristotle's views on friendship in Nichomachean Ethics. He has a final category of 'true friend' that refer to someone who reflects part of your being back …

Makes sense in retrospect

I believe archive.org is one of the sites because I tried to post an economist link using it to circumvent the paywall once and the post seemed to be shadow deleted

Human Resource Machine is great! My wife ended up having a career change into coding after finishing it and the sequel

Really appreciate posts like these. I think this post specificaly might have saved me from embarking on a colossal time-sink application process.

Product owners eventually do this to every tech platform to justify their existence

I actually quite like BBC sounds but it is completely possible to circumvent it. You might need to look the URL of a show up on there but you can play any show on sounds using `mpv…

Is this an example of reference rot or did it never exist?

I think you might have inadvertently revealed why he was so toxic to the electorate here

The linked youtube video from the Tribeflame guy is very enlightening. I actually appreciate the transparency even if I don't approve of their business model. It's intriguing how P…

Wow TIL! The categorical imperative is making more sense now

Alcohol-free beers have got a lot better in the past 10 years

I was watching a documentary on BBC about Davis (I think it was _Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool_) and was struck by one of his wives talking about his drug habits. She said that hi…

I don't see much of an issue with them astroturfing the site when it first launched in 2005. Content begets content so something needs to get the ball rolling.
