Not very practical for an USB device used to move data from one computer to another.

Firefox added a layer on top to allow to show the list of profiles in the UI.

I recently started a new job and built 3 profiles on Windows, then switched to Ubuntu. The migration of my profiles was painful because of that new layer: migration of each profile was working fine, but didn't see each other.

Thankfully Claude was helpful to debug and fix the settings. I had to edit SQLite databases.

Working with multiple profiles is painful as you have to duplicate setup, and data for extensions such as uMatrix isn't shared.

Also I would like each Firefox profile running instance to have its own icon at OS (desktop) level (Ubuntu, Windows) to ease switching.

Château de Saint-Cloud, near Paris, reported as "renowned ruin" ??? What a joke! Only the gardens remain.

Even more ridiculous : Bastille also reported as "renowned ruin". Nothing remains. All stones have disappeared centuries ago.

Counterpoint: each new edition will add bloat to SQLite as future edition will need to keep each past edition pragma set for backward compatibility.

As SQLite is often used embedded, bloat matters.

So I suggest that "PRAGMA edition" to be only be a shortcut to a list of PRAGMA commands, that would be expanded at the library level: PRAGMA edition would never appear in the DB file. As such, the build of the library would just support a limited set of editions, with a removal policy in default builds. Maybe editions could even be defined at runtime (a system table?) as a way to load them dynamically if old editions are needed beyond builtin support (think about the state of SQLite in 2046).

TUI is not so great for copying a multiline block of text displayed on the terminal when it is indented or shown in a boxed widget.

I'm not saying that GUI are always better at allowing copying: this still requires the developer to design widgets that allow copying.

nothing is going to displace it because you have full control

A few months back Pi was working with Gemini. But Gemini support has been removed.

Pi also doesn't work with Claude Code subscription (Anthropic counts tokens used with alternate harnesses separately).

So, in practice Pi is displaced.

Claude Code with Opus 4.8 is also bad at aligning boxes with content in French (with accentuated letters such as "é" which are multibyte in UTF-8).

Latest Knuth preprint: "Fillomino Densities", dated 2026-07-01

From a previous preprint titled "Claude’s Cycle", dated 2026-02-28 [2]:

  It seems that I’ll have to revise my opinions about “generative AI” one of these days. What a joy it is to learn not only that my conjecture has a nice solution but also to celebrate this dramatic advance in automatic deduction and creative problem solving. I’ll try to tell the story briefly in this note.

I discovered a few years ago that a such a wind tunnel facility existed in my area (France), but at a smaller scale. I had the opportunity to visit it. The facility is about 100 years old. What amazed me is not just the facilities (they have various tunnels for different measurements), but how it adapted to customer usages through time as engineering needs evolve. One building was initially designed for seaplanes but has long ago been refurbished for other uses. Another one is used by the French cycling team which has headquarters nearby.

Because it was him... 10 months ago?

The resason is that only Google bothers to put enough hardware security features to build software on top that allows to make a really secure device that blocks tampering.

EA still hasn't made its EA account malware SteamDeck compatible. I have to spend 30 minutes every few months to enter again my EA account credentials (nowadays I use a dock and a hardware keyboard).

Probably for wired networking.

It looks like he wants his former manager to be fired too. This only gives bad signals to hiring teams.

For access management (sharing the Git-over-ssh hosting for a centralized repo), gitolite adds the little layer.

If you pay a premium price, you're an even more interesting target for others premium brands, so the best target for advertisers. And they are too greedy to leave you alone.

This is becoming a thing in computing because sovereignty suddenly matters in the new context.

France pushes its SecNumCloud standard for critical infrastructure or handling of critical data (ex: health) through law. So, this may not be about pride, but the result is similar.

You're now a C.

Call me when the Fediverse has a search function that actually fucking works.

Actually that's a feature. If search doesn't work, there is less incentive for bots polluting others people searches.

On the other hand, search works so bad than even connecting to people you know on other networks is painful.

So I would have to buy a car to carry a laptop?

Decompilation allows to fork, but scaling the fork and making it maintenable on a long time scale is a technical challenge.

The FSF succeeded at changing the mindset towards more collaboration.

I agree that this also allowed to divert efforts from research on reverse engineering tooling by reducing the needs.

But AI is game changer for reverse engineering, so no secrets will be hidden in binaries.

In a way, this is a merge of an alternate branch of history where RE would be more powerful.

It is good enough to have much fun reading it. About chef photos, in Cook French in America, page 11: no eggs on a breakfast tartine.

As a French, I would like the French version.

This is about cooking but... no French?

No, don't.

Powerpoint will soon be a lost craft.

Thanks for the link to this archive. A very welcome contribution very a propos in relation to the article.
