The article discussed in depth how bad technical decisions made Microsoft product bad quality and unreliable. They they propose that this is the reason why Microsoft lost potential contracts with openai.

Not sure about this, as it is not developed for this purpose. You may take a look at zotero and make a folder/tag per magazine to group them.

The Linux foundation, home to some of the best software engineers, and known not to pick up any trend just because it’s new - let’s say they still work with patches sent in a mailing list - reckon that a new tool is being very useful to them to the point that they’re integrating it into their workflow.

People still criticise them because they should know better such tool is useless.

To be fair: take this methodology that was developed years ago but apply these specific cutting edge methodologies to improve it gives you much better code in a day or two than any scientific code I’ve ever seen published by affirmed researchers in the field. You get the code, documentation and tests. Is the code easy to maintain? Most certainly not. Is code published by scientists maintainable? You’re lucky if it even runs. You take that and you have a partially working solution, you spend a week rewriting it and you have a working better methodology that would likely have taken you a year to develop.

The fact that the material is resistant itself does not mean that a layer of atoms of a few nanometers of thickness is scratch resistant itself. I guess you’d have to store it in a protected area and handle it with gloves, which doesn’t feel much more appealing than magnetic tape.

In a drill bit you don’t really care if a few atoms on the external surface fly off, in this case you would.

2 terabytes of data could fit within the area of a single A4 sheet of paper

Unless it can be paper thin this does not look better than magnetic tape. Moreover, would the handling of the material be safe from handling? I reckon you could scratch it pretty easily.

Sure, but I doubt RAM plays a big role in this.

Very nice! I’ll keep using unison for now as I need something stable and reliable, but I’ll keep an eye on the project and may switch to it eventually.

I consider price and technical specifications. I don’t have 200€ to spend on a phone. Most phones I bought were less than 100€ new. What I care about a phone is that it supports two SIM cards.

With such constraints, choice is quite limited unfortunately.

Is it worth having a free device? Indeed. Is it worth spending 4 times the price just for that? Not to me.

As long as your phone model is supported by any custom mod. I have checked compatibility for almost all smartphones I owned, some 7 or 8 through the years.

Not a single one of them was ever supported by a custom mod.

I like to have a separate partition for /home Whatever happens I can wipe root safely and install something else.

Thank you for the kind explanation, I did not know about this. I’ll look into it, you never know when something may become useful!

What is ubiquity equipment?

Same, never saw either a server or a desktop running alpine.

Vista is the reason I started using Linux.

Food is very cheap and available everywhere. Clothing is basically free, and clothes are now easily high quality.

his and 90% of people’s material conditions are shit

Other people is richer than you does not mean your conditions are bad.

Thank you for the article, it really was a great read.

I work in the field of drug development, and I am very impressed by what this one guy was able to do. There’s people who worked in the field their whole life and don’t know even half the things he was able to do using chatgpt to plan out a project.

You should indeed read the article, it is quite a nice read and may show how chatgpt used in a proper manner can be a very useful tool.

Fedora is kind of rolling, but not really.

You’ll have frequently daily updates of 800mb but also have packages being updated months after developer release. It’s a good stable system with pretty modern software versions.

However, keep in mind that fedora has versions. As in Debian you’ll have to upgrade from one fedora version to the other, but I don’t think LTS is as wide as in Debian.

Didn’t read the article yet.

I have a good friend who is homeless and begs for money. He says his life is much better than the life of the richest people of just a few centuries ago.
