Haven't used this app for ages, but yesterday I fine-tuned the HDR settings for my newly bought laptop under KDE/plasma, definitely on Linux. That readme might be outdated (or the tool doesn't work on KDE at all)
This was an interesting read for me. I'm mostly aware of the _problem_, however, never wondered how that could be fixed with other designs, I guess he is working on something that implements one of his proposals (river/window/bonfire)
I am one of the hoarders who has saved Inoreader items, a "Later" bookmark folder with (once thought as) interesting stuff in it, obsidian we clips for the ones what are so precious I for sure didn't just want to reference to but actually make a copy of. But it's under control. It doesn't give me anxiety knowing that I "should" go through them, because... I often do.
I'm surprised that the "first" of these layouts only appeared in 2002. I would have sworn I used Akregator since 1999
You're right, and the article is wrong. 3 pane layouts similar to desktop mail readers and Usenet clients appeared well before 2002. For example, if you look at the history of feedreader.com, there is a screenshot of a 3 pane layout on the front page archived in 2001: https://archive.ph/U9ZAo
Hah, I guess this is the same then as in formula 1 (and possibly other motorsports). After the end of a straight (speeding) section, just before the curve they have 150/100/50 (m?) distance indicators. Sans the concrete block at the top. That would obviously shave the driver's head off.
It's not quite the same thing - the EMAS is the overrun surface itself, rather than the signs warning of it. However you are quite close to the money on another aspect of airfield design.
Lots of obstructions near the runway - signs, lights, aerial masts, meteorological equipment, fences - are supposed to be "frangible" [1]. They must break into pieces less likely to cause damage to an aircraft in a high-energy collision. There's a heck of a lot of GFRP used in lieu of metal around an airfield.
Just finished it, and while I loved the whole plot, the adventurous expeditions away from the base, somehow this one with the waaay too long paragraphs seemed... Unnecessarily boring?
My first Tchaikovsky was children of time and TBH none of the sequels nor his other space operas were as captivating as that one for me.
Yet, I will read this one too. I believe that his ideas and stories are great in books and would never be able to make them into movies. So unique.
Unfortunate; This morning my firefox profile didn't start up, draws the empty window, and spins the CPU. I started my workday with downgrading FF and restoring my previous profile from a backup.
Now this.
FWIF, for this particular problem, the workaround from the linked reddit post works:
Edit 3: This workaround seems to fix it:
type about:config in the URL bar
search for network.http.accept-encoding.secure
replace gzip, deflate, br, zstd with gzip, deflate, zstd
Alternatively, set network.http.dictionaries.enable to false.
I had to do something similar. Ruby is awful and very immature compared to python, so I "outsourced" the machine learning / LLM interaction to python. The rails service talks to it through grpc / protobuf and it works wonderfully.
While I agree that the training/learning ecosystem is pretty heavily centered in Python, going from that to "Ruby is awful" seems like a very drastic jump, especially if we are talking about the LLM interaction only.
I probably wouldn't write a training system in Ruby (not because it's not doable, just because it's not a good use of time to rewrite stuff that is already available in python ecosystem)... but hooking up a Ruby system up to LLM's for interaction is eminently doable with very little effort.
I am assuming your situation had some specific constraints that made it harder, but it would be nice to understand what they were - right now your comment describes a more complicated solution and I am curious why you needed it.
While I agree that Python is where most of the implementation action is, one of the great things about building applications with LLMs is that almost all API providers offer a rich REST interface, and I have found it simple to use LLM services in Haskel, various Lisp languages, etc. It is nice having very old code in various languages and be able to add new functionality with LLMs.
Damned is this industry, when even _you_ say you have to show that "remoteness works".
I also measure meetings (counts, lengths, and mostly meeting minutes/outine jotted down by myself) and keep track of other metrics, exactly for this reason. However, I also don't happen to have written best selling books and stuff, so I really must do this, and you really shouldn't have to :-)
I have more respect for him because he chose to do this. It’s probably clear that he doesn’t have to, at all. But he’s choosing not to rely on his (somewhat) tech celebrity status and deliver on measurable outcomes.
Not that I've ever been especially religious about it but it's probably a good thing to keep track of activities, especially those that directly affect customers. It's pretty easy/low-effort and is useful to be able to pull out.
Davmail is the shim I used to proxy OWA / exchange ansmd present an IMAP interface towards neomutt. Used this setup with three companies, worked well, and unified the UX instead of the different Gmail and Outlook web slowness.
