Are you an Engul user? Syllabic scripts for English are rare. Usually people use letters.
Well, I haven't made that up myself - I got the idea from linguistics books - and from people that lived there for a long time. And those linguists were very clear that the language came first and then syllable script…
When learning a bit of Japanese to me it was quite obvious that the script was most likely intentionally left (or made) complicated. By using a normal alphabet that actually fits to the structure of Japanese language it…
Yes it does. In some distributions receiving calls was a problem (they slept too deep and woke up too slow). With Mobian for me it now works stable enough to be used as a daily driver.
Well, it works fine as a phone. With Mobian it is stable enough for me to be a daily driver. When I need performance I usually turn to real computers or specialized gadgets.
I'm on Windows. Other OS may differ. I experimented a lot with load times - and compared HDD, SSD, RAM-Disk. I wrote a small program that loads everything from a big code-repository into RAM. The first time HDD and SSD…
Improvements in build-time are very valuable to me. But I'm not sure if a cloud would help me much. Synching can easily eat up 10s. Also my tools are very unique (including a parser that I wrote myself). To be faster…
I recently experimented with a ram disk. Practically it didn't change anything. OS-caching seems to already be clever enough and once the OS has figured out that some directories are important anything in there seemed…
Great news... Compile time or a clean build? I use similar tooling (older version... :-)). And I'm starting to evaluate what's going on with those new versions.
Comparing compile times is done rarely. I sometimes tried to google some comparisons, but didn't find much. For a typical 1,5 MLOC project my clean build times are sitting around 40 seconds. I think that's pretty good,…
I don't know about China, but the whole science around COVID seems to have a really strong cultural component that before was totally unfamiliar to me. When looking at some German Epidemiologist blog I found something…
That keyboard was fantastic. I hope the PinePhone Keyboard will be able to reach this level.
I once took one of these online-tests for spotting deep fakes. By marking anything that has reflections in the eyes as fake I got only 1 answer wrong (the real guy there looked really strange).
And still nobody bothered to check what kind of trend-changes are visible in the epidemiological curves around the time of masking. People never look at "date of death" or "infection date" all they care about is…
I use Mobian on the Pinephone as a daily driver. Other distributions I tried were not stable.
I don't really know what those people in physics do, but as a mathematician my definition of a time-crystal would be a 4-dimensional discrete structure. You have some 4-dimensional symmetries. Just rotating in 3D is a…
I'm not very optimistic about avoiding a "Dark Age". Rational thinking and the idea to look at data seems to be completely foreign to most people I know. Higher educated people seem to absorb and repeat dogmas and…
1:1 is also nice. https://www.eizo.com/products/flexscan/ev2730q/
A few patterns about rationality I have seen a lot recently: False rationality - People claim to be rational while touting some dogma they learned somewhere. Not even looking at any data. And when given data or…
I liked the Celestron Nexstar 6SE. Weight still ok and not too small. Something to tinker with a bit and quite easy to use.
Good that people sometimes remember that a more modern base for physics would be nice. Doing electrodynamics without using alternating products and differential forms feels so wrong...
Problem is - by removing sane people the thing will become even more insane... And most people there are unable to notice - they form democratic majority - nowadays things can accelerate downhill very fast.
Even more disturbing is that people outright refuse to take a look at numbers to check what measures actually did. Just mentioning datasources and asking people to look can attract a lot of downvotes. People just…
The number of of actively infected non-quarantined people is relevant. Take a look at RKI-dashboard for Jena. This Jena paper is a serious fake. I think mask measures are not working correctly - all the masks are way…
