Attention! In German a falscher Freund, false friend, is also used as a standing medical term for Flatus deceptor.

Thank you for TXR

Easy: Items must work without internet connection so they cannot be updated online.

As you mentioned 38 languages, chances are high that these languages are not all coming from a scientific background, where 1 index based adressing of items is the norm. What is your take in respect to Julia, which is also one offset based?

> Julia uses 1-based indexing.

That rules it out to become a successor to Python. It sounds reasonable until you start interacting with other libraries.

I do know the attemp to justify it for Lua and I don't buy it.

So generalisation of concepts going to far?

The critique converning lsp and eglot support is nonetheless true.

The shit hit the fan once filecoin became intertwined with IPFS. So DOA long time ago.

I would like to see small appliances inbuilt batteries (mostly Li-Ion based) be prohibted. It contributes to device obsolescence and is a security risk --> burning waste dumps.

Today we know sugar was a key ingredient for brain development in humans, not just proteins because of eating meat.

This is not correct. I do not have the app and get tracking for my orders.

Something is broken on the site. I scroll a bit and then a nag screen locks further reading.

Symlink and done?

It's foundational science. The US scuence system calls for utility and time to merket. In such a system there is little space for gluons.

The sweet spot is representative democracy with a tendency of socialism, to mildly distribute welath and assure social coherence. A voting system which results in a division of force, representing the voters will.

The current US administration calls such things comunism.

We hear a lot of psilocybine lately, it cures altsheimer, people in coma awake miraculously. As long as we do not understand the workings, it reminds me of the days when radium or other nuclear substances were the cure for everything.

Is there any good watch outside doing GPS for position and time, minus all the body survzeilance things?

So it will never last a lifetime.

As a mostly recluse myself, I made.my.peace with world. The world is led by men who think the faster we arrive at utility the faster money can be made. True. The falacy on that way is to assume that people like Maxwell, Oersted and many more mentioned in the article would prefer working in teams which is shoveled these days into the fabric of academic collaboration. It's not. Genius people prefer working alone and their discoveries did and do happen while they are left alone. Out society will lose and already lost a lot with the current requirements of collaborarion in academic work. Venture capital provided by prolific no-knowers is also detromental.

I do not understand efforts like these. It's not that 98 Windows UI design has been the paramount of UX. Today's technology bloat and layer upon layer of abastractions caused a total bloat.

Understanding what is required to make a good UX site, and idenifying the minimum neccessary technological components is it.

This is a good point I haven't considered in the past and worth to take into the overall discussion.

Thanks for sharing. That looks promising, good luck!

In this regard I do find DuckDB amazing.

Everyone is talking about the massive power of Radio 4 - it wasn't. Radio poland or algeria have much stronger LW broadcast.

They do its called 5G broadcast. No, this doesn't require point to point connections.

Is there any line between your statement, women's contraceptive pill and an ongoing decline in human intelligence?

I find it hilarious how much religion is put into Gnome vs. KDE in this case. I did use both. I honestly have no strong favourite. After that many years of Linux desktop environment DE hopping I came to the conslusion that the DE should get out of your way and allow you to focus on your work.

Both Gnome and KDE support that. Actually Gnome a tad better as it gives you less knobs to turn an waste your time. Accept the defaults and if defaults are bad move somewhere else.

Ladies and gentlemen, last round, free lunch is over.

Back in the stone ages XOR ing was just 1 byte of opcode. Habbits stick. In effect XORing is no longer faster since a long time.

A delicate topic with many perspectives. Our small families make it possible to devote so much energy to our kids. However autonomy is all so important to become a strong adult later. We deliberately need let go more than we do now.
