I notice Indians speaking English tend to speak very fast. Are the Indian languages simply spoken faster?
  • Does anyone know how the amount of information is actually derived? The article just says “researchers calculated”

  • My Git Knowledge
  • Every once in a while, you can refresh your memory by reading the man page.

    Or if, like me, you use Emacs, Magit exposes everything quite clearly.

  • The Anti-Semetism is just incredible
  • I'd argue that if they put up a Palestinian flag, it's clear that Palestine is being referred to.

    In principle, though, I agree with your first point

  • The Anti-Semetism is just incredible
  • That’s an invalid (strikethrough: dictionary) etymology argument, and you know it. To clarify, when I said “antisemitism” I meant “a discriminatory attitude towards Jews” or something along those lines.

    Edit: this is an etymology argument, not a dictionary one; most dictionaries probably agree with me. I don't know how or why the word antisemitism came to be used to refer to Jews specifically, but surely it's been this way for most of its history.
    Either way, the most authoritative meaning of a word is that which was intended by the one who uttered it.

  • The Anti-Semetism is just incredible
  • Antisemitism to Palestinian support is like misandry to feminism. Yeah, some people might be guilty of it (and those who are, misunderstand the latter ideologies), but it's way overrepresented in opposing media, who is often guilty of such issues itself.

  • vi or emacs?
  • emacs

    On my own system, but usually for remote work I use Vim as it’s easier to make usable

  • Stop using floats
  • Perhaps you can encode them as computation (i.e. a function of arbitrary precision)

  • AI companies are violating a basic social contract of the web and and ignoring robots.txt
  • We need laws mandating respect of robots.txt. This is what happens when you don’t codify stuff

  • Asahi Linux project’s OpenGL support on Apple Silicon officially surpasses Apple’s
  • Everything is reverse-engineered, and different people work on different stuff. It’s not like the resources devoted to OpenGL could be diverted to microphone support, that’s a completely different skill set.

  • Asahi Linux project’s OpenGL support on Apple Silicon officially surpasses Apple’s
  • You need to find an image to install, but I think there shouldn’t be any technical issues beyond that

  • 2024 is going to be the beginning of the end of us all
  • Slowly?

    (Don’t forget Israel!)

  • What are some things you think tech people presume others know, and know how to do?
  • A good password manager encrypts your passwords with your own master password (and if you don’t trust them, use an open source one like Bitwarden)—so, even if it gets hacked, your passwords are not immediately compromised. You should take even more measures, like using 2FA such as your phone or a physical key, which basically makes you invincible. Way better than remembering passwords.

  • What are some things you think tech people presume others know, and know how to do?
  • About that last point, you don’t really need to. Internet people like to show off their customized desktops and systems, but in reality using a “just works” distribution requires very little headache and time. Except for the time spent choosing it, that is

  • FLOSS communities right now
  • Mailing list! (/s... unless?)
    And Lemmy/kbin obviously

  • What is "feddit", really?

    Many Lemmy instances have "feddit" in their name. Is that just "federated reddit" or am I missing something?

    A week of fprintfs has me wanting to code rust next week
  • Didn’t it only recently get generics? How was stuff even done before then?

  • There's probably a word I've been pronouncing wrong my whole life that I don't know about
  • Not Welsh, but I think it’s a compound with successive elements ending and starting with ll

  • More Gen Z Americans identify as LGBTQ than as Republican
  • Why would anyone identify by their political ideology? Or worse, by a single party??

  • STOP WRITING C
  • Look up function pointer types to make this language seem even more insane
