I'd pay that, but it's about $22 in my country...
saint_yossarian··on Neovim 0.12.0
AFAIK it's mostly about stabilizing the RPC API and Lua stdlib:

saint_yossarian··on Show HN: Claude Code skills that build complete Godot games
GDScript has static type hints now, it's still a bit basic but continually getting better.
saint_yossarian··on Israel is running critically low on interceptors, US officials say
Do you honestly believe they did?

> Iran and Israel have maintained no diplomatic relations since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and their relationship has been characterized by hostility ever since.

saint_yossarian··on Ageless Linux – Software for humans of indeterminate age
More than one thing can be true.
saint_yossarian··on Shall I implement it? No
I think to many people awareness does imply consciousness, i.e. the thing that is aware of the knowledge.
saint_yossarian··on Google is 'gradually rolling out' option to change your gmail.com address
You can use a custom domain with most providers, so when they go dark you can at least migrate to another one.

> all I want to do is fuzzy match window titles to named audio streams in pipewire,

> basic desktop functionality

I feel your pain, but find your idea of "basic" functionality amusing.

That said, `pw-dump` / `pactl` will give you client names, which often match the window titles.

saint_yossarian··on Sick of smart TVs? Here are your best options
Just checked now: the setting is General & Privacy -> Start Screen Options -> Start with Smart Hub Home.
saint_yossarian··on Sick of smart TVs? Here are your best options
My Samsung QN90B does that just fine, it's only a few years old. IIRC there's a setting somewhere in the menu to not boot to the home screen. It also doesn't nag me about anything, although I only enable wifi when I want to update.
saint_yossarian··on Google de-indexed Bear Blog and I don't know why
I guess they use this blogging platform: https://bearblog.dev/
saint_yossarian··on Netflix’s AV1 Journey: From Android to TVs and Beyond
HDR audio already exists in the form of 24-bit and 32-bit floating point audio (vs. the previous 16-bit CD standard). Volumes are still mapped to the same levels because anything else doesn't make sense, just as SDR content can be mapped to HDR levels to achieve the same levels of brightness (but not the same dynamic range, as with audio).
saint_yossarian··on Have I been Flocked? – Check if your license plate is being watched
Why do you think so?

LOVEINT is indeed a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOVEINT

saint_yossarian··on YouTube caught making AI-edits to videos and adding misleading AI summaries
Works perfectly fine here on Firefox, no Premium.
saint_yossarian··on Stacked Diffs with git rebase —onto
They meant merging the other way, i.e. merging the new changes from main into the stacked feature branches.

This is functionally the same as rebasing, except that the new changes show up at the tip of the commit chain rather than the base. And because it doesn't rewrite history you don't need to force-push.

saint_yossarian··on Anthropic acquires Bun
Oh you silly goose.
saint_yossarian··on Netflix kills casting from its mobile app to most modern TVs
Same, now and then some indie films release on sites like Vimeo where you can buy a DRM-free download, but it's very rare unfortunately.
saint_yossarian··on Replacing My Window Manager with Google Chrome
They used to have XULRunner long ago.

This seems to be a system API, I meant the WebExtensions API that browsers implement: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Web...
saint_yossarian··on A Tale of Two AI Failures: Debugging a Simple Bug with LLMs
The author mentions FoxESSCloud, which led me to https://www.foxesscloud.com/public/i18n/en/OpenApiDocument.h... with this Python example:

    signature = fr'{path}\r\n{token}\r\n{timestamp}'
So if this is indeed the API they're using it's not only literal "\\n" but also "\\r\\n", no "POST", and no body at the end.
saint_yossarian··on KDE Plasma 6.8 Will Go Wayland-Exclusive in Dropping X11 Session Support
> you'd have to spend hours, days, months, even years (I am not kidding) just waiting for approval and agreeing on what you can and cannot do with the house.

Ah you mean like in the wayland-protocols repo? :)

(not disagreeing with your actual point though)

Bitwarden just had a similar bug with keyboard lag in their browser extension: https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues/17090

I wish browsers offered some kind of autofill extension API so password managers don't have to inject their own bullshit into every page.

saint_yossarian··on Gaming on Linux has never been more approachable
Isn't that just Steam's Big Picture mode?
saint_yossarian··on AGI fantasy is a blocker to actual engineering
Distros do have manuals, they just usually come in the form of user-curated wikis these days. ArchWiki is usually my first stop when I run into a Linux issue, even as a fellow Debian user.

Both https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth and https://wiki.debian.org/BluetoothUser mention rfkill and show you how to troubleshoot.

saint_yossarian··on I think nobody wants AI in Firefox, Mozilla
Yeah, there should really just be one global setting.

Also note that it's browser.ml.enable (no "d") vs. browser.ml.chat.enabled, to make matters even more infuriating.

saint_yossarian··on I think nobody wants AI in Firefox, Mozilla
You'd think so, but you also need to set browser.ml.chat.menu to false to remove a context menu item.

saint_yossarian··on Grammarly rebrands to 'Superhuman,' launches a new AI assistant
I thought Harper is an LSP, so this sounds more like an integration issue with whatever editor you're using it with.
saint_yossarian··on IDEs we had 30 years ago and lost (2023)
Vim does have a menu system, and AFAIK it's still enabled by default in GUIs like GVim.

"Order of magnitude", so you're saying the neural feedback loop latency is >100ms? That seems obviously wrong.

Also you can absolutely feel the visual difference between 60Hz (~16ms) and 120Hz (~8ms), and for audio it's even more nuanced.

Just because studies don't back this up yet doesn't make it false. I imagine this is really hard to measure accurately, and focusing only on neuron activity seems misguided too. Our bodies are more than just brains.
