lexicality

I started using it because me and my flatmate had different media libraries and we wanted to share them. Plex very conveniently merged both into a single deduplicated library that we could pick from when watching something on the TV.

Is your browser running the javascript event loop on the GPU? Because mine isn't

That doesn't actually answer any of my questions though. Why is `S` the placeholder for "post"? T for T'outer?

you do get lateral flow up/downstream during filling and emptying, but it's generally considered rude to do it fast enough to cause turbulence

The author lost me at the last bit where they started using weird names for the posts. Why would you make one ID O and the other ID 0? Why single letters and not EMBED_01? Why seemingly random letters instead of ABCDEF? Does OCPDST stand for something?

canals have negligible water flow (except during disasters!) so I don't think that'd work very well. They also get dredged occasionally so there's a decent chance anything you leave down there won't last more than a couple of years

I didn't say they were stupid, I said I was concerned about their level of education

If someone is a new driver, who hasn't seen the symbolic signs enough, the word signs are a good fallback. The goal is to maximize accessibility.

That's the thing I'm concerned about! In Europe you're not allowed onto the road unless you have already proven that you have memorised all the symbols and can identify them on demand. You don't need to maximise accessibility because the required level of education is higher.

It was introduced barely 20 years ago. By that rationale the PS3 is a retro console

It was very surprising for me when I visited the US to see just how much space was wasted writing everything out on every sign and sometimes in giant words on the road.

It did also make me a bit worried about the expected level of driver education...

Hell of a photo, it almost looks like an oil painting!

I don't know, I've never touched one

I just tested and yes - if I press the exact corner of the key with a pencil then it doesn't register correctly. Everywhere else seems absolutely fine and given how small the keys are I genuinely wasn't able to recreate this with my finger. In order to actually press the key I have to push down on enough of the key for it to register.

the issues the author describes - particularly with the keyboard and trackpad

I don't have the same problems with my model, possibly theirs is bad. I don't like that the keyboard is teeny and in the ANSI layout but I got used to it.

The trackpad isn't great but that's just yet another reason to avoid using the mouse and do everything with the keyboard.

That being said, I would never use it for fulltime use. I'm not even using it to type this message even though it's right next to me. I use it while travelling and it remains off at all other times.

I have one of these. It's an awful piece of shit and I love it.

I bought it because I was going on holiday and didn't want to take a real laptop both in case it got stolen and to dissuade me from using it. I ended up using it more than I would have a normal laptop because it's so small and easily carried.

My current use case is for my commute into the office, it easily fits on the microscopic train tables and doesn't add much weight to my bag. Highly recommended.

I disagree - finding a relevant stock photo requires you to do some searching and filtering. Using an obviously flawed generated image makes it look like you typed a vague prompt in and picked the first thing that came up without doing any refinement.

a lot of the training data is either for python 2 or just generally very low quality

I think people tend to squander door openers with bad layouts or information density. Most CVs are essentially the same as each other, just a bullet point list of jira ticket titles.

Do I care if someone has won the world championship for ping-pong 3 years in a row? Not particularly. Does it make them stand out against a sea of slop? Only if I actually see that info when skimming! But if I do see it, I'm probably going to stop and re-read the whole thing, which is a tactical advantage.

But would you give them a job?

That's what the interview is to find out, isn't it?

Would they even match the requirements?

I would assume if they got a job at NASA working on mission critical systems, they probably exceed the requirements of my startup

If I'm reviewing CVs and I see that you worked at NASA on the Voyager code, you're getting an interview just so I can ask about it.

I wouldn't normally approve of CV driven development, but for this?!

Given I've spent the last few weeks teaching myself CAD and completely designing a custom 3d printed racking system for my consumer networking gear from scratch, I would like to think that "I decided to do this ostensibly stupid and pointlessly difficult thing for a minor aesthetic improvement even when a blatantly easier (and possibly better) option is available" is a valid reason for humans to do things.

Besides, that green quartz crystal is beautiful. If you can only afford to carry a limited number of objects then I personally would try to find a way to turn it into an object I can hold, use, and admire every day.

some people have variable electrical tariffs, so electrical use in the middle of the night is usually much much cheaper than the middle of the day.

I remember when having as little code to maintain as possible was an engineering goal. My professors were adamant that code reuse was a virtue. I had "less code = less bugs" drilled into me.

I'm sure the new way is better though, given how much my boss seems to be tracking my token usage these days...

Depending on how badly you nuked it, it's probably still in your `git reflog` locally. Normal git hangs on to orphaned commits too. (Until `git gc` runs)

-ffast-math default, often on without intent

Ah yes -ffast-math, also known as -fincorrect-math

You could get entire publisher catalogues for peanuts. I think at least half my steam library is useless filler because I bought every game WB ever published for $40 to get the new batman game or similar.

so he can count to three after all, interesting

You're thinking of bloat, jank is things like putting a cauldron on your head and the physics engine firing you into the stratosphere.

There's a VT520 at my local hackspace which I spent some time getting running with a Pi, it's surprisingly practical - though as the author says the DEC keyboards are atrocious, it's like typing into wet sand.

How exactly could the human body’s response to cold water shock change since 1989?

Hi, I do this.

are these nits asks or just you opinions?

If I've approved the PR, then these are changes I'm asking you to do, but not ordering you to do. You are free to say "no" to my request

What if I dont address all of them

Then you will have decided that you don't agree with my recommendation and that's OK.

I only ever do this with people I trust - I am trusting you to review each of my nitpicks and make an informed decision if they're necessary or not. Generally I'd like you to reply to the ones you don't do with a reason though.
