  • I heard a few times that there is this saying in English that the tree of democracy needs to be watered from time to time with the blood of tyrants or something like that. Isn't it about time for that? They do seem to be tearing down democracy.

  • Definitely the command. CLI commands are simple and portable. Asking the user what DE they are using for an extra round trip and then making a description of the pointy-clicky-ceremony has way to much friction.

  • A bit off topic but please indulge me:

    “Only holders of a P.Eng. licence are legally permitted to use the title P.Eng.’ or the term ‘engineer’ in their job title, or to use any other term, title or description that may lead to the belief that they are authorized to practice professional engineering,” McCutcheon said.

    That's interesting to me. We're looser with the term "Engineer" here in Switzerland. So I wanted to ask, do you have Network Engineers in Ontario? If not what are the people who design, plan and implement new computer networks called instead?

  • I'm aware of:

    • Unbalanced power over 12VHPWR by design, inducing some melting in some cases.
    • Missing ROPs on 5080.
    • 5070 not reaching 4090 performance levels because that was just a marketing lie.

    None of those really seem to apply. Were there any more?

  • 9 years and 4 months ago I bought an Acer laptop with a 4 core Intel Skylake with hyperthreading (i7-6700HQ) and a Nvidia GTX 960M, because the laptop I had was slow for compiling in my classes at Uni, and I wanted a discrete GPU for the occasional game when away from my Desktop PC (winter break and such (still use it for that btw)). I regretted that three times:

    • First when I wanted to install Linux instead of just using VMs. In early 2016 the kernels on live system ISOs didn't properly support Skylake yet, so I fucked around with Arch a bunch, but didn't end up keeping it installed. Don't remember why, probably got busy with schoolwork.
    • Then a while later, after I had installed Ubuntu or Fedora at some point, the next issue was that cooperative mode of Bluetooth and Wifi on the included Intel wireless chip wasn't well supported (even found an Intel Bluetooth dev saying as much on a mailing list), and it hung sometimes, so I had to make a script to turn the chip off and then rescan the PCI bus, that worked as a workaround but was still annoying.
    • Finally when we had Machine Learning classes I thought I might be able to use CUDA locally, so I tried installing the proprietary Nvidia driver and was greeted by a black screen on the next boot. Had to boot from a live system and chroot in to remove the proprietary crap again.

    On my Desktop PC I have used AMD GPUs for quite a while and dual booting Windows and Linux has always been a breeze.

  • Here in Switzerland the name really depends on which one you're actually making. Omelettes, Pfannkuchen, Kaiserschmarrn, Crêpes, Pancakes. You can find them all. My mother likes making Omelettes the most, I like making Pancakes the most.

  • Isn't Voice of America like the USA's equivalent of Deutsche Welle?

    Basically a vehicle for internationally transporting news from the US American perspective?

    Trump really hates any and all soft power the USA have available.
