I would never call a software project SPICE; I use a fucking search engine when naming things to avoid the cringe of ignorantly landing on a dupe. (And also use SPICE in the LTSpice incarnation; I should give ngspice a spin one of these day

> need for kanji is self-fulfilling Well, yes? The language is built on kanji. In a 100,000 word dictionary, the vast amount of content is words that someone made up by putting together kanji. It is kanji-first. None of it makes sense

It seems what would be more productive would be for sites to publish metadata about the nature of the content. Then the access method could decide whether, or which of it to show. Analogy: parent seeing that a movie is R rated and not letti

Not really; ganelonhb is pointing out that there is an alternative choice, not insisting that (1) the individual must make that choice and (2) if they don't others must shun that individual and their projects.

But have you heard of https://unslop.news ? If you look at HN through that, the above AI-related spam disappears.

Swap partitions are your set-and-forget permanent installation that covers daily use. Swap files are for "oh shit, I need to run this rare thing that needs lots of VM". You create them, "swapon", then "swapoff"

I read about the Chorleywood Bread Process in a book out of the library at a time when I was making a bunch of bread: it was the year 1993. I was quite appalled by what I learned. The basic idea is that we introduce air into the dough mecha

If you're opening a damaged door from which a preloaded spring can pop out, this is probably dangerous to someone in the vehicle next to that door. You are on the outside of the door, the hinge mechanisms are inside. So what good is y
