There is also this massive military campaign in China, just for the sake of capturing horses from a Greek colony in Afghanistan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Heavenly_Horses

This is strange - I wasn't expecting such a difference on CPU-only benchmarks. In my experience as a software engineer I find Linux much faster than windows mainly due to the file system being more performant (e.g. the builds run notic

How is it different to Nostr? And how is it more private when Nostr doesn't require even an e-mail - only a public key?

You should try that when things are going well, not after purchasing power has collapsed 10s of percents over <5 years and 80% of <35yo s cannot afford to buy a flat.

"This is a quote by Ludwig von Mises, but really it could have been said by any mainstream economist" Lol at this. Current European Academia and Establishment literally consider L. v. Mises far-right. The good thing is that Europe

Wow. So much effort in reinventing the wheel. The transaction approach is obviously not suited for integration testing as commits/rollbacks are part of the package too. There is testcontainers + flyway/liquibase. Problem solved.

https://book.mixu.net/distsys/ (Distributed systems: for fun and profit) you should definitely start nowhere but here. it is meant to be a getting started doc and does a great job in that.

This is a very shallow opinion. I, personally, avoid electron-js apps like the plague. Having 500 MB of RAM wasted by something as trivial as MS Teams or Insomnia is horrendous. ElectronJS apps tend to be not only inefficient but also much

You tell me. My biggest pain with XFCE is multi-monitor support. Like having the menu bar also on the second display and not have two of them when you switch back to single-monitor.

XFCE is frankly the last full featured Desktop Environment, truly focusing on responsiveness and zero-lag SGI-style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EEY87HAHzk&pp=ygUbc2lsaWNvb... MacOS X, Windows and the mainstream Li

Not really, I had mine replaced at revolt.bg for about 60 EUR, both labour and spares. Miraculously, they had both of them on stock, so it was a Thurday to Wednesday job. Massive respect to those guys.

They used to be. I am writing this from the above-mentioned T480. It is 3 years old, has both usb-c ports replaced, small crack on the backside of the screen and the keyboard zif is broken, so the tape cable is... well taped to the connecto

I am using xfce with a minimal set of services and all the system apps and most others open instantly. Alt+tab is also always instant. It is an MS, Apple, Gnome/KDE problem, not modern computers one.

nope, bitcoin, doge and many others are pseudonymous and as long as you are not retarded enough to buy it someplace which requires KYC, it is stupidly difficult to trace it to your identity. Especially in court.

I thought it would be about the data breaches and them being a security weak-spot instead of a stronghold. I had no idea that they also rob you in the process, employing the good old vendor lock-in move even my grandma knows about. P.S. Key

Well, the car analogy is very good I think. A 35-year old Mercedes-Benz W124 that has been taken care of during its entire lifetime is actually usable and could be reliably maintained. A 10-year old Hyundai with 50k km old oil is meant to b

Upwork is a hellish abomination of a company. I did some contracting for them cca 7 years ago. It all started with a final meeting with the CEO - the bald Greek guy with the same first name as me, who spent almost an hour of his (not so) in

It is not really - if standard libs, APIs and frameworks are in English, it is either this or some weird 50%/50% mix, which is often ambiguous. It is a rather standard practice in all non-english speaking countries.

1. It is basically a regional big tech do-it-all company. 2. Git repos tend to get rather large over time and yandex has been around since before git.

It is not the hotels, who charge it, but governments, most often the municipality. Usually there is no obligation to hide that from the guest or include it in the price. Just to pay. You can also go pay it straight in the town hall, the hot

I don't think it is bugs which worries you, but rather the completely wrong concept of modern day car production. Almost all cars built in the past 20-years have 0 compliance with the laws of physics, being extremely front-heavy and wi

I don't think so, but it is deterministic and given equal depth all search-based engines should theoritically pop the same one. The AI-based (е.g. AlphaZero) ones are obviously different.
