The Roman Empire lives on today. Turkey is the legitimate continuation of the Roman Empire

I've seen a few people on HackerNews swear by Fossil ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_(software) ) which uses SQLite as the backend instead of the filesystem. There are a few other approaches as well

Let's hope Valorant, Call of Duty, Battlefield, EA Sports FC and others who explicitly deny their anti cheat from working on Linux react to the increasing demand for gaming on Linux, and begin supporting anti cheat on Linux.

Also, if his friends play Halo, CS2, Ark, War Thunder, Arma, Hell let Loose, Splitgate, TF2, DOTA, Overwatch, or The Finals, he'll be fine.

You can do this in vim with a simple mapping: nmap <C-x> mm[s1z=`m

I'm curious which ones you had trouble with? I switched last week, and have been testing all the games in my library. I'm quite impressed with how all of them just work with zero or little tinkering. The only games I haven't been able to play are the ones with anti cheat that explicitly deny Linux.

That is confusing. The Nintendo switch is half the price, and plays all of those games. Why would someone want to buy the more expensive Steam machine just to play 2d pixel art games?

I didn't criticize either your article or your comment :). I enjoyed reading the article and finally learning why it's called godan and ichidan, and it was fun to learn that kau was originally kawu.

Any mention of Japanese learning always brings out negativity and criticism (and the effect is probably doubled by being on HackerNews) so I understand that you're on defense.

My comment was really just an objection to "You still have to learn that and understand that", as I don't think studying grammar is a mandatory step in learning a language (I'm a subscriber to the Input Hypothesis by Stephen Krashen). Though it could very well be that grammar study is an effective shortcut to internalizing grammar. At the end of the day, the amount of hours spent learning from context matters way more than the specific steps taken along the way.

Honestly, you don't need to "learn" or "understand" much grammar explicitly. I think it definitely helps get you off your feet, as you can "decode" sentences if you remember grammar rules, but eventually the grammar has to be internalized anyway. This happens when you are repeatedly exposed to the same patterns in context. I don't know how English or Norwegian grammar works, and I'm fluent in those. I skipped grammar in Japanese and focused on reading, yet I can understand most things and I can tell when something sounds wrong.

Looking at the report from datatilsynet (Norwegian Data Protection Agency), they cite "multiple reports and tips" as the background. I suspect what happened here is that IMY concluded that this laid outside of their authority, submitted the complaint to datatilsynet and either closed the case and forgot to inform Hanff, or they may have never gotten any response from datatilsynet.

We are talking about npm here... Any framework like React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, etc. is going to pull in hundreds or thousands of packages. I just checked one of the smallest web projects I have (5 dependencies, no framework) and it has 265 packages In package-lock.json. My personal website (vite + nuxt) has 1171.

on `.home-hero__grain` there is a repeating dot-pattern that obscures the underlying color:

``` background-image: radial-gradient(circle at 23% 12%,rgba(255,255,255,.6) 0 1px,transparent 1.5px),radial-gradient(circle at 78% 41%,rgba(255,255,255,.5) 0 1px,transparent 1.5px),radial-gradient(circle at 12% 73%,rgba(0,0,0,.5) 0 1px,transparent 1.5px),radial-gradient(circle at 55% 88%,rgba(255,255,255,.5) 0 1px,transparent 1.5px),radial-gradient(circle at 88% 18%,rgba(0,0,0,.4) 0 1px,transparent 1.5px); background-size: 7px 7px,11px 11px,9px 9px,13px 13px,8px 8px; ```

Cool idea, but unfortunately low-effort AI slop. The colors are covered in vibe-coded patterns that obscure the actual color, much of the writing is wrong and soulless. The prompter writes on the site that he uses AI to support in writing, because as a man with a day job it would be "impossible" to write all this himself. I'd urge him to write in his own words, starting with a minimal subset of colors and slowly building up a library. It could be a "one entry per day" challenge, or even just "one entry per week". Why is everyone in such a rush?

I'm not so familiar with the revolutions of 1848, but it seems like most revolutions happen when a society is suffering from severe economic crisis as well as food shortage. It seems that the 1840s was referred to as "the Hungry Forties" due to severe food shortages. I don't think many people are willing to upend their lives to change a political system that isn't failing to deliver their personal basic needs. I'm also not sure if the revolutions of 1848 were primarily about wealth concentration - weren't they rather about concentration of power?

I don't think anyone believes the major AI providers are running at a profit? They are openly investing heavily into R&D and building out infrastructure, and according to these numbers way more than revenue. It wouldn't make sense for any of these companies to run at a profit right now as they're still aggressively expanding. The question is whether they will break even in the future, and capture a large enough market segment to sustain the business, allowing revenue to outgrow costs. If these numbers are real, revenue is already higher than COGS which is a really good signal for them.

I think the question is more about whether people believe this is a sound business in the long term, which imo isn't possible to tell based on these numbers yet.

I love reading articles that are written like this. Whenever I encounter a word/concept that I don't know, I can just look it up and myself decide how much in-depth I want to go to understand this topic before going back to the article. Whenever basic concepts are explained, I automatically get the feeling that someone very inexperienced wrote this, and that my time would be better spent reading other material.

Interesting, this was definitely possible in windows 10. I do remember upgrading form 10 -> 11 and not being able to use a vertical task bar anymore, but that appears to be getting patched now with the next release.

I remember doing this as a kid making my first website. I thought it looked more "professional"

Would you prefer that CSS never evolve, and our frustrations remain the same? Writing CSS today has gotten significantly easier with flexbox, variables and now nesting. BEM is not part of the CSS spec, that's just a design methodology.

This is true. I use increased font size on my phone, and so many websites are borderline unusable because of massive unnecessary padding. But I am also a culprit of using rem for everything. What is the alternative? Pixels?

I think what I liked the most about The Lean Startup was how he would reduce experiences into patterns, and then define them. You get a bunch of concrete ideas that look simple enough to add to a checklist. I do think the book dragged a bit toward the end, but I appreciated the humility of the writing.

Incorruptible sounds interesting - I've long thought about how much companies and their output are defined by their social structures. Microslop doesn't produce broken software because they hire stupid or evil people for example.

Well, how hard should you beat yourself up over a mistake like that? If I forgot my groceries in the car, I'd just laugh about it being a silly one-time mistake. But if it happened twice I'd take it more seriously, and maybe make a note or something to remind me. I'm sure everyone has made some silly mistake like forgetting a jacket at a party or leaving a phone at home sometime. I think we should be a little extra forgiving toward others, because we'd so easily forgive our own mistakes

video on youtube, of someone absolutely struggling at a task that had a built-in checklist

This sounds like Bog who records himself setting up Linux distros or configuring software

Some people are very good at working with complex abstract ideas, but are terrible at signaling that intelligence to others. And some are fantastic at signaling intelligence and steering conversation toward domains of knowledge that they've studied (many political commentators come to mind), but don't seem to have processed those ideas very deeply.

You are right, but at the same time, if no UX designer is involved in the loop, what happens when they've prompted a prototype that looks good - and therefore eludes them to think it's designed good as well? How do we convince them that we need to involve a UX designer to fix the application flow?

This is such a great mental model.

The first three are the same, and the latter three are in no way related to the passage.

When people make statements like this, I always wonder if you're thinking of someone specific, or if you're conflating the group with the individual

Yeah, this read more like a long twitter rant than anything I'd expect to find on science.org. With posts like these, I always wonder what the intent is? I'm an outsider, so to convince me of anything you'd have to give more context to your claims (linking to a few publications and using their titles as a priori fact isn't convincing). If you want to convince someone who has enough context to understand each claim, wouldn't their opinions already be too entrenched to sway from a post like this?

It certainly struggles a lot more with non-English queries. Been using it since 2019

Why use this instead of a native window manager? GNOME, KDE, Windows, MacOS, i3 all support virtual desktops where your window layouts are preserved
