> I experience some habituation actually. I suppose it can be quite different for different people. I stopped using it because it often (not always) made me still feel tired and unfocused in the morning, something that…
AFAIK mirtazapine shouldn't cause habituation the way actual "sleeping pills" or benzodiazepines do. That's one of the reasons it may be preferable as a sleeping aid, especially in the longer term. Anecdotally, when I…
Shortcuts, mostly. The shortcut for toggling fullscreen in Firefox is F11. Many default shortcuts in JetBrains IDEs also use function keys. The keymap can be changed, of course, so you can design your own keymap to…
Maybe it's the advice that's usually right.
I'm not asking for LLM tools to be similar to compilers, or saying that they can't be useful if they aren't. I know rather well that the two are different, and that's the point. Because LLMs aren't deterministic in…
> From what I've seen in these HN discussions, most people are using "determinism" when they really mean "prompt sensitivity", i.e. minor variations in framing leading to different results. This, in turn, confuses…
In my (admittedly limited) experience, a verbose and elaborate writing style is also traditionally more common in humanities whereas scientific or technical writing favours a rather more terse and matter-of-fact style.…
Sounds like the short answer is "because there was no standard for the variable set by MS-DOS from the get go". The background is that the issue hadn't existed in CP/M because there hadn't been environment variables.…
I think #2 is actually circular, or perhaps rather contradictory. In order to be able to have an illusion one would have to be conscious in the first place. Or how would you have an illusion of something if you're not…
You could do all of those things on an OS with proper security separation as long as you have full root access. There's no megacorp stopping you from reading and writing kernel memory. Unless, of course, the computer…
> I’m still at where when I connect external hard drive or SSD via USB, use it and then eject it, I shut down the MacBook Pro completely before I unplug the cable. Just in case. That sounds... a bit paranoid? At least…
A lot of that probably came down to the motherboard chipset. IIRC Intel made their own chipsets for the Pentium III and they were good and reliable. Athlons were coupled with chipsets from VIA and whatnot. Some of those…
I almost never get Firefox crashes on Linux, and I don't remember seeing significant slowdowns with text boxes either, at least not simple ones. How long are the inputs that you get problems with?
If running low on memory seems to matter less now than it did a couple of decades ago, I'd rather say that's because fast SSDs make swapping a lot faster. Even though virtual memory and swapping were available even on…
What do you do to address health concerns before they become ER-level?
> Remember, a hash is a "one way function". It isn't invertible (that would defeat the purpose!). It is a surjective function. Meaning that reversing the function results in a non-unique output. This is a bit of a…

I think Transport Fever is of a slightly but significantly different genre. Railroad Tycoon is a strategy game with competition whereas Transport Fever is pretty much a building and optimization sandbox. Even Transport…
It actually says "hacking on one of our programs", which makes it even more obvious that it's using the word closer to the positive traditional hacker culture sense. I'm sure that still looks unprofessional to some…
If humans are considered apex(-ish) predators, it's because there's mostly nothing "above" us in the food chain. We aren't typical prey for any other animal, so we are at the top-ish. It doesn't mean the diets of humans…
Games that require kernel-level anticheat will probably try to detect VMs and refuse to run.
I remember not getting Close Combat 2 (from 1997) running on Windows 10 some years ago but I did getting it running under Wine, albeit with some tweaks. Whether that was a Windows compatibility issue or potentially some…
> Im pretty sure I read in the past GoG still sells you a license to a game in perpetuity, rather than ownership Just about every commercial software license says the software is licensed, not sold. Of course the…
I'm guessing that was a 286. I think Intel parts topped out at 12.5 MHz but AMD and Harris eventually reached 20 or even 25 MHz. I still have my original PC with a 12.5 MHz one. The difference with the 386, I think, is…
