  • It's so easy to switch to Edge, you don't even have to try! Literally!

    Microsoft Edge is actually good, so I sure hope the team building it isn’t about to resort to more tricks to get Chrome users to use it.

    Given Microsoft's track record....

  • Used US and JP qwerty, both are fine after a while, but switching can be annoying (mostly I mix up whether " or @ is Shift-2).

    The one thing I hate is the fragmentation of the bottom left cluster. I started out on keyboards with Ctrl Fn Super Alt, but now I much prefer Fn Ctrl Alt Super.

  • Good data (and program) structures are definitely quite important. Well chosen structures make implementation much easier (and likewise bad structure makes things needlessly difficult).

    Also, the film editing example is also an example of a piece table, which makes cutting very simple. Cutting out a section is just a node insertion + update the end of the original node ({0-3} -> {0-1}, {2-3}).

  • I've had similar issues as well very rarely with other languages. I'd type out a bit and get a syntax error, but when I complete the partial code it won't update the errors. When that happens restarting the language server tends to fix it, so I presume the language server just locks up sometimes.

    Page 28 explains that it's based on which animals appear to suffer:

    Hypoxia produced by N2 and Ar appears to reduce, but not eliminate, aversive responses in pigs. [...]

    Advantages—(1) Nitrogen and Ar do not appear to be directly aversive to chickens or turkeys, and the resulting hypoxia appears to be nonaversive or only mildly aversive to these species. Similarly, N2 and Ar gas mixtures do not appear to be directly aversive to pigs and appear to reduce, but not eliminate, the behavioral responses to hypoxia. [...]

    General recommendations—Hypoxia resulting from exposure to Ar or N2 gas mixtures is acceptable with conditions for euthanasia of chickens and turkeys. Likewise, hypoxia resulting from Ar or N2-CO2 gas mixtures is acceptable with conditions for euthanasia of pigs, provided animals can be directly placed into a < 2% O2 atmosphere and exposure times > 7 minutes are used. Use of Ar or N2 is unacceptable for other mammals. [...]

    As an aside, I wonder if a PCB (Penenetrative Captive Device) has ever been designed for humans, considering it is recommended over firearms for animals.

  • That would depend largely on the use-case and specific software. I'm fairly confident that Lyx isn't going to become bloated any time soon, but I can see that happening especially with proprietary alternatives like Word (ignoring for a moment Word isn't on Linux). It all really depends on whether or not a less bloated alternative exists.

  • It depends on the use case, but for what it's worth on a 4GB Android tablet, I can run VSCode + Chromium/Firefox via Termux without too much trouble. ~2GB of memory is taken by Android, so 8GB on a proper Linux system is more like 3x more memory available. It would take a massive amount of bloat to make an impact. My main concern would like with websites being wasteful with both memory and CPU usage via JS, rather than the browser itself becoming bloated.

  • It will probably depend on distro. Some distros might get more bloated, but I think most won't do anything that makes them unusable on lower-spec hardware, especially those that specifically have low system requirements as one of their core tenets.

  • Their point regarding old and unmaintained apps seems a bit silly. Getting the same old and unmaintained app from the app's website isn't going to make it any safer. You're still going to need to switch to a different app/fork to get updates.

  • F-Droid doesn't usually remove apps that aren't maintained, as far as I can tell. There are apps that haven't been updated in over a decade (Quill). Since F-Droid sorts by recency of release, they tend to just sink to the bottom of searches anyway.

  • Whoops, I forgot to enable the dark theme on the page; maybe the need to explicitly enable using the browser's dark theme is why Safari doesn't really bother. I've switched the dark theme to use Firefox's colors, let me know if there's anything that is still broken.

  • By that I meant from the perspective that the initial allegations still felt like it could all just be a misunderstanding. Now that it has been donated, it seems to be more a matter of who at Open Hand was actually in the know (since it is possible that Jirard geniunely was being misled himself), and why the money wasn't being donated. The golf tournament stuff definitely feels much more circumstantial since it is based on extrapolation. Overall it does seem like the IRS getting involved is going be the only way definitive evidence of what was actually going on will come out.

  • With Logseq, it leans more towards using a nested bullets style rather than a series of paragraphs. Although it has a document mode that hides the toplevel bullets, it feels like more of an afterthought (and with long paragraphs navigating tends to get wonky). They're both great pieces of software, but the writing styles they are aimed towards are different.
