Same for the 5th, Brazil. Everyone uses WhatsApp here and has been more than a decade since the last time I've ever had to use sms (never even used mms).

There was a project aiming to do this called Etoilé OS[1]. Just went to the website and realized last update was in 2014 :/ [1]: http://etoileos.com/

I also imagine they can work with cheaper antennas now that they have many more satellites on orbit.

Actually, you can! I always want to clone it either way, so I just do it.

I only use one, which is nvidia. It's already a nixos option, so I just set them on my configuration file. Three options to be exact: hardware.nvidia.modesetting.enable = true; services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "nvidia" ]; ha

Yes, to be specific it's a git clone and a command to apply the flake.

I've answered your question on another conversation, so here's my second example: I've borked my system last week doing some forbidden incantations. I've then restarted, chose a previous revision on Grub, and there I was

Not OP, but here's my take: I have two machines, one with NixOS, one with Mac. I use the same configuration on both. Keeping both machines in sync is a matter of two commands, adding a new machine is also a matter of two commands. I ha

Isn't this a modified version of eUTXO [1]? Known initial state/datum, transactions can be simulated/commited without needing global input like the account model needs. The tradeoff is, of course, that scripts become much har

Sounds real fun! Rust also has great support for WASM, should make the native modules easier to write.

The Rust Book is the best introduction I think. Then, Rust for Rustaceans[1] might be the best intermediate to advanced rust book I've ever seen. Don't forget to practice and work on real projects, the concepts take a little bit t

Being a CS player, I had the weirdest dejavu feeling ever when I went to Venice. The level of detail is so much better now its not even funny.

Not only that, I don't go on the docs to find the most optimized design on factorio like I have to do on code. 90% of the fun to me is to arise at those designs by myself. Jank is fun on your factory, not so much on a company product :

Adding to this, those employees are, themselves, probably working for an American company instead of a local one.

Seen it way too late to edit it seems, but you are correct, I meant NetSurf.

Yes, they are. And even if the project fails (for any definition of failure), putting hundreds of people in contact with production quality core browser code is worth it. Also, lightweight browsers have been a dying breed for a while, if la

You can keep the assets/media to IPFS and use a small server to host everything else? With proper archival, seems doable in a scalable way.

Kinda late to the party, but just a heads up: in rust, bounds checks are only available on debug builds. I'm not familiar with the internals of Nanite though, so I can't comment on how safe (or unsafe) it should be to implement.

I find this take really surprising. He has a huge reach, but you kinda need to go out of your way to watch him, and the people that do, do it exactly because of the lack of filter. If I wanted to listen to something sanitized and approved b

And not only that, it was really informative. I never had heard of this kind of cancer, and the description was short and extremely on-point. Now I know it is a thing, that it has (possibly) not seen enough attention, and that it is hard (a

Amor fati, momento mori and "this soon will also pass" are the three phrases I think about constantly. Helps keeping me grounded on good times, and hopeful on bad ones.

Think the main confusion going on here is that people do not think of tree as lists, even if they could be 100% represented as such.

That's for sure a good point. SQLite has really well defined limitations, and most if not all of those are by design. You should consider them BEFORE starting a new project with it, but it it is a fit, it's a great experience.

I wouldn't say he's "one of the good ones" or anything like that. His currency is attention and trustworthiness, and that's what brings him good deals (he owns a VC firm), and his strategy is being brutally honest,

Kinda unrelated, but I actually had never thought about doing a "reverse open source" like this, with open development but closed source. Having worked in strictly open products in the past, there's a lot to be gained having

You've made some fair points, but there's an underlying assumption: that we are only going to be able to do what we are doing today. Of course, my example is not that good, but imagine things like increased spatial sensing, instan

Well, it's a spectrum to me. Glasses are already humans and machines merging together, and I feel that people in the 1500s would think the singularity had already happened to us, given how smartphones are available everywhere. If I had

Nowadays, with high definition and close to no perceivable latency. Early video chat was so bad that having the video on was more distracting than helpful.
