I frankly don't know how I'd collect any useful info without it. I'm sure there are bookmark services that also allow notes, but the tagging, linking related things, etc, all in the app is awesome, plus the ability to…
At the byte level, it's quite possible the layouts are the same. However, an "intrusive data structure" means that the nodes themselves are the data. In other words, intrusive is like this: struct T : NodeType<T> { // T…
Funny how they're bad at this from start to end. Most of these comments talk about the "end" part, but don't forget: Google has a notoriously laggy hiring process with extreme delays and an unacceptably high level of…
At least in C++ land, that is not quite what is referred to as intrusive lists. It's basically the opposite / inside-out of what you wrote: ```C++ struct MyType : Node<MyType> { Node<MyType> next, prev; // rest of data…
Mothy Roscoe, the Barrelfish PI, gave a really great talk at ATC 2021 [0]. A lot of OS research is basically "here's a clever way we bypassed Linux to touch hardware directly", but his argument is that the "VAX model"…
This is indeed interesting, but FYI this is a BSL-covered project with somewhat onerous times: only one instance per service (i.e. don't scale out, if I understand correctly) [0]. [0]…
Still can't seem to do RAG or otherwise answer questions about a specific URL. Seems kinda useless compared to even copilot or Gemini 2.5 unless I'm missing something. I asked it to summarize this thread [0] and it just…
On my system, `getconf ARG_MAX` is over 2m. I have seen some heinously long cmdline strings, but nothing close to that. Usually when invocations have creeped up into the O(1k) character limit at places I've worked, I've…
You've definitely called me out: I currently live in an area where I can do a bunch of different hobbies year round for the most part, and happen to enjoy them. I totally agree that if one goes all in for their D&D…
This advice is thorough, but as the author admits a bit autistic. It approaches a relationship as a specific highly-fixated goal that requires reps / practice. In general, I think any guy trying to do this is not going…
Even if Ampere could afford to undercut the internal development of these hyperscalar ARM chips (which to my knowledge they cannot), there is more value in in-housing ARM chips like Amazon / Microsoft are doing: you can…
Ultimately, every AI thing I've tried in this era seems to want to make me happy, even if it's wrong, instead of helping me. I describe it like "an eager intern who can summarize a 20-min web search session instantly,…
I remember reading that book when it clicked how frustrating the doors at my grad school uni could be: they had what is clearly a "pull" handle on both sides, but it only opened one way. They just added signs that said…
They switched to a non-free license about 6 months ago [0]. This is not just the usual BSL terms of "do not compete with our hosted offering, but use it in your own product without issue", but they mandate telemetry…
Another bonus: at least for bamboo, it has antimicrobial properties compared to plastic, which tends to have all sorts of difficult-to-clean grooves for bacteria to hide in.
Another easy thing to do is to prefer clothes with natural fiber types (cotton, wool, etc). A lot of the particulates in one's home are generated from just the abrasion of your clothing as you move around. When those…
Many such things from F# come from Haskell (given the influence from MSR UK, specifically Simon Peyton Jones before he left a few years ago), so likely Haskell or earlier imo (at least in terms of "complex" "pipe"…
I end up doing this too, but ensure that the "single data disk" is regularly backed up offsite too (several times a day, zfs send makes it easy). One needs an offsite backup anyway, and as long as your home server data…
The unusually high amount of drama in NixOS is one of the reasons I have been hesitant to start using it. Jon Ringer (a former contributor) posted a giant video [0] outlining his history with the project and how he left…
Easy: buy media companies to sow political division and pollute the discourse, buy political influence to restrict access to open and unbiased education to ensure the populace cannot engage in critical thinking, then…
But verbal between whom? How can one be sure they're talking to a human on the other end of an SMS and not a chatbot? We already went over how this doesn't work more than a year ago with the $1 Tahoe [0]. Spoiler: no…
I would guess that opted-out cars like mine are still "in the system", as I can still do all the MySubaru app stuff like un/lock, start, etc.
FYI for Subaru owners, you can opt out and have your data deleted anywhere in the US (not just California): https://www.subaru.com/support/consumer-privacy.html It'll take ~6 months or so, but they will send you a…
Totally agree, though there should still be insurance commisions and controls to ensure that any company selling policies in a given area is solvent enough to pay out. Otherwise you'll have fly-by-night insurance…
I've been on the fence about Nix. I've wanted to love it (and do love the concept), but between the Waiting-for-Godot situation for flakes, the weird language, and the occasional political infighting I've seen pop up…
