It's fine, though it isn't the norm, presumably because authors fear their work might be taken less seriously; but if the content of the paper is good, it's fine to add a little character, or flourish. Some amusing titles fal

I've been using this for a few days now, and while I love the speed, I have experienced a couple of glitches with the file list e.g. duplicate files/folders shown, files missing, especially after doing a bunch of move/copy op

What do you mean when you say it doesn't "work"? You click the windows icon and nothing comes up? It displays but nothing is clickable? On 2 different machines? Really? This seems like hyperbole. It sounds like there's a

I like GitKraken, except for the fact that it lacks the ability to show first parent only, i.e. `git log --first-parent`. That feature is available in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code (Git Graph extension), but I don't like these

I clicked around a couple of links within that site and it looks like an absolute dog's breakfast on my mobile.

I use olauncher which has a super minimalist home screen. It doesn't block apps but it doesn't use icons. Instead you type the name of the app you want which I find makes me more purposeful with my phone usage. Turning off notific

That's a rather daft take.

I'm confused. The original article is in favour of typed languages. Aren't you in agreement?

I think the poster's point is that it really should be the person's own choice what they watch. The moralising around what gets chosen is tangential.

I doubt there's any confusion. The purported meaning of the phrase is clear. But its usage in practice is often (but not always) quite punishing toward masculinity in general.

The article seems to conflate accuracy and recall: > AI-powered earthquake forecasting scores 70% accuracy > The AI accurately predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance, with 14 forecasts coming true within 200 miles of their est

I've been on Android for more than a decade, and I still don't know what I'm "supposed" to be using. I have switched out that stuff for third party apps a few years back. Was a disaster zone, I'm sure it still

The ribbon and the dreaded save panel make me anxious just thinking about them. WHY is saving a so many clicks?!?

What's the best medium to store on? I see USB thumb drives with 512GB capacity these days. Easy to write a couple and keep in the cupboard. Or is hard disk better? External USB?

Brother rejected my 3rd party toner on the MFC-L3750CDW after an automatic firmware update. Fuck them, I said at the time. Then I bought a far cheaper second-hand Brother printer, turned off firmware updates, and have continued using 3rd pa

May I ask what specifically some of the issues have been? I know it's digging into a personal area so feel free to ignore this, but I'm curious what kind of issues can arise.

The general public does not care at all about that. It's the experience alone that matters. Lemmy is confusing and weird to the majority who look into it.

It's not the same if you need to allocate memory for the result. If you could pass the result in by reference, then you could (re)use a buffer which has already been allocated. The difference is massive in things like matrix calculatio

I've experienced this. My $500 MFC is a brick unless I go out and purchase a genuine Brother toner, despite having spent several hundred dollars on a stash of generics. At some point they just stopped working. And just to be clear: the

It's alright for one person to think this way, but if everyone did we'd be in a bit of trouble as a society. I think the reality is in the middle anyway, i.e. very few people are desperately gripped to each and every story, and if
