One feature I miss with the current file deduplicator I miss, and yours also doesn't seem to support is as follows: I have a largeish archive of files (dir_A) that I want to keep and several other directory trees…
The language is perhaps ambiguous. "Sickness absence" can be read as "absence of sickness (thus being healthy)" or "absence (from work) due to sickness". A reduction of sickness absence can be interpreted as a reduction…

This is, trivially, not intelligent nor conscious: function add(x): return x + 1; end. An LLM has a bit of randomness to its calculations but that does not change the fact that function add_random(x): return x + rand(1,…
Useful robotics are heavy and use a lot of power.
Honestly, I could use a timer that pings me for diverse chores in and around the house. A fixed schedule is easy, but it could react to events and circumstances. Consolidate everything in one app or device: - (ding!)…
Using PWM to dim lights should be banned wholesale. Many people, me included, get crazy headaches from the worst lights and mild discomfort from the best ones. It's also completely unnecessary as non-flickering bulbs do…
The point of the article is that the EU should have moved faster to achieve energy independence after 2022 gas crisis. Dependence on foreign oil and gas is a limiting factor for the EU. So, more heat pumps and more…
The manuscript starts with: > All men by nature desire to know. I'm not sure if I can take this Aristotle guy serious or not. In present day most people are not interested in knowledge at all, some are actively pursuing…
I've seen pictures of the cockpit of a large plane where the gear lever has an actual wheel on the end of it. I think that is exceptional good design.
The blog post sums up why users of Windows might want this. However, this is not what Microsoft wants or needs. Microsoft is doing just fine by providing businesses what they need: a platform that can be tightly…
> how do you stop yourself from hoarding tasks and decide what to work on next? By realizing most tasks aren't important, if you let them mature for a bit. Things only seem important in the moment. Three days later the…
Amazing. Thank you for giving me a new mental tool.
I got back to writing longer texts by mentally separating writing and editing. When writing, just write. Even when you think the paragraph could be better, keep on writing. Only start editing when a substantial piece is…
I'm not sure I agree with the article, or at least not its title. It argues mostly about things the Pope didn't say. I'm sure he could have said a lot more, but he wasn't wrong.
> I would like an audio device which can play mp3, podcasts, internet radio. Get a second-hand Apple iPod Touch, remove all apps you don't need. For just mp3 and podcasts: get an iPod Classic (or Video) and install…
Looks like a useful project. Wish there was a picture to see how it looks though.
Creating more software does not solve anything if that software is mostly a functional duplicate of other software. Or, in other words, all companies re-invent the wheel many times over. It doesn't matter if you 10x the…
No, absolutely not. Unless it's to do official government business like taxes, I won't use any website requiring official digital ID. If that means I can't use most of the internet, so be it.
Yeah, 1993 here. Same. Not only one thing after another, but often the same things all over again after a decade or so.
For command line you won't go wrong with abcde ("A Better CD Encoder") or cdparanoia if you don't need all the bells and whistles. For GUI take a look at asunder.
Removing the bitterness makes it an orange. We already have those. I like grapefruit as it is. Let's not do this.
Software will be even more a commodity than it already is. A hundred apps that do the same thing, what's the point? Rebuilding everything in a new framework every three years, why? The money is gone, or will be very…
I have everything set up as direct debit. I see, maybe, two invoices a year, if that. To be honest, I don't "do" my finances. I look at my bank statements (on my phone) once every couple of months or so. It never goes…
