Yeah, I'm stuck on X11 since Wayland and NVIDIA with two video cards for display is hot garbage. I have been a Linux user on the command line since the days of root and boot floppies. I don't think the desktop has felt this broken

I've been running https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk for a week seems to be a good balance between culling out of context and not just killing everything. I've been running https://github.com/Openc

As someone who has been dealing with SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 9001, etc., for years, I have always maintained copies of the third-party agreements for all of our downstream providers for compliance purposes. This documentation is collected at the

I don't think Ben would tell you to limit yourself. There are many fantastic people doing these kinds of things. James Sharman has been working on his system for years, and it is fantastic because he is also a programmer. https:/

That's what you don't get. You aren't just watching ads. You are giving them data about you, a lot of data. That data is used to heavily manipulate you. This isn't like the old days of broadcast TV where ads air and you

100% this one of the big reasons I fell in love with go. Single executable, no runtime stuff to install and crazy portable. I can look at anyone's go code and very quickly get up to speed. I don't worry about how they format it. P

I also still have the books and a CoCo 3. When everyone else I knew either had a c64 or an appleII I was on my own and just had to push through. I started with a CoCo II then UPGRADED to a CoCo III, that's how much I loved that machine

100% contextual. In every business where I've been an executive, or had access to the budget, we talk "made" as gross revenue and EBIDA as a stand in gross profit and specifically call out net profit in internal meetings. For

James Sharman's build is nuts. He has been at it for several years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iHag4k4yEg&list=PLFhc0MFC8M... Usagi Electric is taking it all the way with a vacuum tube build. https:/&#x

Until it is litigated or you are charged and convicted it isn't against the law. YouTube and the entertainment industry have zero interest in your rights. Media companies make agreements between themselves. They make agreements with Yo

PC/MS DOS of course. It was the last OS I could hold in my head. I could understand every part of the OS. I could write everything from batch files to TSR's. You could reason about every part of it. Did that make it perfect? No no

This is a completely anecdotal analysis. Every time this comes up it makes me cringe. Yes, I use MSSQL. Yes, I really like MSSQL. I know loads more about MSSQL than I do PostgreSQL and that plays a huge part in it. Like this person I am qua
