That’s very unfortunate but hopefully you developed skills that will help you in your future career.

That’s right, the TV show has practically nothing to do with the books other than some character and place names and the general idea of a declining emprire and its emerging remote colony.

The first two books are really great, but I feel the quality starts dropping at the third, but the series is pretty good as a whole (never got to reading Forward the Foundation though). Asimov’s writing is a bit cringe sometimes, especially about women and children (although there are some strong female characters).

Freeze them! Frozen banana is even better than fresh in milkshake.

Digital only. Who even has room for physical books.

Have autoplay disabled

You can’t successfully use a home email server.

Mostly true (server can be home but using the ISP network directly probably won’t work)

You can’t successfully use an email server on a (cloud) VPS.

Bullshit

You can’t successfully use an email server on a bare metal machine in your own datacenter.

Bullshit

As such, it is my distinct displeasure to declare the death of SMTP. The protocol is no longer usable. And as we can see, this devolution occurred organically.

Bullshit

I wonder if the process is open source or we just take their word that it’s privacy preserving. Anyway, privacy is not the only problem with online advertising, so I’m not going to give up adblocking any time soon.

Very nice. I’ve been daily driving KDE for 20 years and only changed the default wallpaper once or twice.

Someone once told me their grandparents in Brazil were part of a community where Latin was spoken as the primary language, but I can’t find any information about it online in English.

Borg for backup. I’m really surprised it’s not more widely known. It’s an incredible piece of software.

Also, not really lesser known software, but a lesser known feature of file systems including the ones we use in FOSS operating systems: extended file attributes - useful to add metadata to files without modifying them.

+1 for Whisper. Also, I use Piper for the reverse (text-to-speech).

Also, if I’m not mistaken the uninitialized prop is not guaranteed to be nullptr here, so this private destructor could be trying to free from some random pointer.

I’ve been working with CUDA for 10 years and I don’t feel it’s that bad…

This walk was anything but simple…

I’ve heard this trope before but I’m skeptic. I’m not a C expert but I can’t believe memory bugs in that language are so much more benign than in C++.

Digital for sure. Who has room for physical books? The physical books that I’ve somehow gathered over the years are the worst items I have in terms of volume (or mass) relative to their utility.

It’s not even called incognito in FF.

BJ almost certainly stands for Beijing here (although the company is apparently Qingdao-based). You see it a lot in China, including very oblivious “I ❤️ BJ” T-shirts worn by old ladies.

Nothing wrong with that… Most people don’t need to reinvent the wheel, and choosing a filename extension meaningful to the particular use case is better then leaving it as .zip or .db or whatever.

Same, with Pixel 4A. But now that the Pixel line has abandoned the 3.5mm jack I will look elsewhere for my next phone and ROM.
