I very much have had the same experience as the author with research libraries. I have learned so many life-changing techniques and derivations from books that were two or three down from the book that I was looking for. When I became a res

Of the communities mentioned that I recognized, most were retirement-aged communities. In that case, wouldn't age demographics alone explain the population differences?

My personal gripe with Ente is that they seem to value making new half-baked products over making their current products feature-complete. Case-in-point: RAW photos are still not supported in Ente Photos [1]. Locker and now Ensu got priorit

The first argument actually leans in favor of LaTeX or Typst as a better replacement for Docx. A LaTeX or Typst document can contain both the content and formatting together within the same file. This isn't idiomatic for either languag

I'm not sure I understand your point. You're saying that channels are like apt/sources.list or yum.repos.d, and flakes are like the Apple App Store? Or the other way around? One thing that probably didn't help my underst

> The flakes were the main UX/DX improvement for me. Before them I honestly could not do anything. Agreed. I think flakes are far more intuitive than channels. In a flake everything is declared in the repo it's used in. I still

Bureau of Labor Statistics says that the mean annual wage of "Automotive Technicians and Repairers (SOC code 49-3020)" is $55,780 as of May 2025, so yeah, something doesn't add up.

Usability, for one. I know how to `apptainer run ...`. I don't know how to do what you're describing, and I'd say I'm more Linux savvy than most HPC users.

Server - but this is kind of a wrong question. Apptainer is for running cli applications in immutable, rootless containers. The closest tool I can think of is Fedora Toolbx [1]. Apptainer is primarily used to distributing and reusing scient
