Not my project but this video seems to imply that it has no problem with performance whatsoever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hai7cavmUY

I kind of like this guy, as in he is funny. But seeing the previous linux sucks videos as well, I must say that he most definitely don't have a too deep knowledge of linux - and it is kind of mean to call Linux people dumb who advocate

No, nix can cache already built binaries with hydra, so on a normal system it simply downloads from there - same speed as apt or the like. During the audit they likely disabled it, so nix had to build everything from scratch (like even sys

It sounds like "this is the first time I've seen this build system and don't really see how it works, would be better to change it to a more often used one". Which is fair for a security auditor, but it stems from the ne

`nix-env -iA nixos.emacs` But I do agree with you, it's not as straight-forward as it should be yet. But I absolutely love how I can be certain that no garbage is accumulating on my computer like I needed this program one time and I do

They all use different UI toolkits, some are gtk, some are java UIs, some are electron-based apps. So that's why - it's a higher level problem that is unfortunately inherent to desktop fragmentation which is hard to avoid on linux

That's why designing the actual program is important. Also, static and strong typing for powerful refactoring plus extensive tests, and you can refact that Dragon class into something new. And while I do agree with you, I think it is

But that's not true. While lethality is estimated at tops 3.6%, the cases requiring hospitalization, including breathing apparatus, etc are quite high, and it WILL overflood the capacity of hospitals in virtually every country that did

As he wrote it in the article, OCR is an order of magnitude slower.

What do you mean? As I understand it it depends on the font - you can provide any sort of encoding. So Unicode is there, I don't see how that would be harder than with the latin abc (which is still a hard problem as per the article)

Yeah, it's better with HTML than with PDF, but it's still pretty terrible... Use some actually structured data format like XML (XHTML would be good), because you don't want to include a complete browser just to search for tex

Strangely, I am on the opposite site - that programming is more of a subset of mathematics (or at least should be) than engineering and since theoretically many parts of the program can be inferred without running, trial and error should no

I never really understood brave. It's basically chromium with some google tracking removed and with some inbuilt "extension". You get the same with firefox plus ublock origin, while supporting a more open web by not using the

Wouldn't running a private instance be the same as directly queryint google? Like, it queries through the same IP you use, and can build a profile just using that.

It's more of an automatic thing (it's usually due to VPN) since many people connect from the same IP at near the same time. It's even worsr with TOR

And they so squash bugs? Yeah there def some old ones, but a priority was chosen for them and work continuous based on that.

I still don't see what's to like on brave. It's basically chrome with ublock origin and https anywhere and like maybe one or two more privacy-oriented extension - why is there a need for a different browser, like why isn&#x27

Not as efficient as a freaking train with hundreds of people transporting basically only what is needed.

What's your opinion on Nix? Would that count as an improvement in determinism?

They can track it with a simple js onclick handler, or a simple redirect on their server, that's not the problem. (They do both btw.) The problem is that they want to track what I do on the links I already clicked - which is absolutely

But handwriting is important not only for the exact skill, but because it is one of the most demanding fine-movement we will ever do - missing out/not properly learning that in an age where we are truly plastic to it both mentally AND

That would require exponential amounts of binaries.

I was dismissing powershell for a great deal of time until I eventually looked into it more and I have to say, I'm impressed by it. Though it can be used on linux, it doesn't feel like a first-class citizen, but non-the-less I wou

You can already do that with protonmail. There are three buttons available when writing an email, doing exactly that.

I recently switched to qwant, seems to be a decent search engine, owned by a European company (as far as I know ddg is american, so pretty weak legal protection of user data). Though I also occasionally have to search on google.

Of course you can write more performant code with lower-level languages, though there is a reason that almost no web framework/application is written in them - the additional burden of managing memory outweighs the (actually surprising

We are talking about a form of energy which is other than being omnipresent naturally, was studied extensively for more than 100-150 years - including health hazards when it comes to ionising radiation. While I do think that studies should

Doesn't it have to do something with the "average" primate body plan? I really like highlighting the running aspect, since we truly seem to be record holders in endurance running, which was largely enabled by sweating. And s

I also consider these posts somewhat alarmist, but just because it is represented as a list of numbers doesn't mean it can't be a serious threat to humanity. Emerging properties is a thing - I mean if you put it that way, insert
