The comments on Phoronix definitely took a racist turn…

My understanding is that it boots faster. That’s a nice thing to have on a container that spins up on demand.

OK, it was a basic pattern recognition model, nothing nearly as sophisticated as we have now, but I think it would have performed significantly faster.

I had the idea to offload machine learning to GPUs back in the early 00’s. I was working for a company doing number plate recognition back then, so I was even in a position to act on my idea… but my boss thought I was nuts.

I’m not sure how much money I would have made, but it’s got to be better than this!

I went from Boost for Reddit straight to Boost for Lemmy. It does everything I need and the dev is quite active with new features etc.

That’s news to me - and a bit of a dick move.

New Thinkpads are still great Linux laptops, so there’s a steady stream of newer 2nd hand models coming on the market.

C# is much more recent than C/BCPL etc. What’s interesting, though, is how many of C these more modern languages are inspired by C. C is also very much still in use!

Snapshots are read only. Best plan is to rollback to a snapshot you think works, test it and if all is good use sudo snapper rollback to make the current snapshot the default. I usually reboot at that point too, not sure if it’s necessary though.

Income from capital can be, and is, taxed differently. In the U.K. there is Capital Gains Tax, for example. Why not adjust this instead of income tax?

I use Tumbleweed btw.

Fuck me, I hope you don’t just render whatever HTML the user gave you!

Simple: I fucking hate driving. I hate the smell, I hate the noise, and I hate the stress. Thr environmental impact isnt exactly a plus point either. You could say that I’m lucky to live in a place with good public transport, but I actively sought out a place with public transport because I didn’t want to rely on a car.

Final nail on the coffin: I developed Menieres disease, so I am prone to intense vertigo attacks at short notice - I couldn’t get a license even if I wanted one.

At this point, Sweden’s Grippen would be more useful.

Yet the telegram client is written in Qt and has great cross-platform support.

Amateur! Ints should be called i, j or k.

One last chance to decide - do you want to be inside or outside?

Nethack. I remember playing it at university 30 years ago when it was text only. Amazingly, there is a version available for android and its fucking addictive.

There is another way, the one we seem to have chosen already - do nothing and wait for nature to take its course. Lots of people will die, but mostly the global poor who are far enough away from the 1% for them to care.
