"This alien super-computer made from entangled iron atoms clearly is not thinking because it doesn't have neurons"

you mean like this?

I think that's the usual approach for Vim mode in other editors. But this extension in particular:

> This extension uses a fully embedded Neovim instance, no more half-complete Vim emulation!

in what way is foobar2000 a winamp clone

the only similarity I could see is that it plays music

You mean like for example the Language Server Protocol?

It's important to realise the difference between consensus and Sybil prevention protocols. Consensus such as this one assumes participants are already selected and known to some extent. Then it runs its network messages to ensure it agrees on a value where everyone has the same value and won't revert or anything.

Sybil prevention is something that I wasn't taught at school and it concerns itself with creating the pre-requisites for consensus algorithm. Given the world population, how do we establish participant set for consensus while minimizing their chance to attack. Well, maybe by requiring them to waste record-breaking amounts of stupid compute.

Love how they clarify payment apps #1 and #4 have the same name.

Ok to be honest I didn't expect such an onslaught of nerdiness in the first paragraph.

I love it.

I think it means many of us will not use Windows ever again.

Not sure if metadata is more important but ok. Signal has launched support to use nicknames instead of phone numbers although it's true this took a long time.

I think Telegram is very wide-spread for running large group chats and communities, a use case that Signal is not interested in. Personally, I want my chats end to end encrypted and I'm grateful to Signal for pioneering this and inspiring Whatsapp, facebook messenger and others to adopt the same.

One could mention the PC-FAND database system (sort of like MS Access) that is fully TUI and runs in MSDOS, the Czech UCTO accounting software uses it to this day (supports Windows 10 via FreeDOS).

PC-FAND is now on github... I think you should be good with Google Translate https://github.com/alisoss/pcfand

I've been looking for an openapi TUI all my life <3

Well, I've read an article about some people getting flushed down the drain because the company that was supposed to keep them frozen kinda went out of business.

I'm just wondering if there's a toy project for implementing the operating system for a sci-fi spaceship. Would it run on Kubernetes?

Yeah I finished all of Mindustry on mobile, around half of it with stylus (it has a rubber ball)

If you only play open source mobile games and are afraid of wasting your time, make sure you avoid the factory tower defense game Mindustry which presents itself at https://mindustrygame.github.io/

What's the name of the function in ChiaLisp that returns true if this is an illegitimate transaction initiated by a hacker and false if it's being done by the real owner of the funds?

I'd say the fact that you can not enter a seed phrase into an app on computer or website should be like "level 1" required crypto knowledge. I understand that many are still failing at this daily.

In Hong Kong I'm sure there is a (not small) section of the population that buys the new flagship every year.

I'd say the time for sharpening the saw was before you started the company. The next opportunity to invest into best practices / long-term is when the company actually has some traction.

Makes me think how everything including storage is virtualised on AWS, sorta like todays Plan9 :)

Preview also supports reloading the PDF on changes so you can have a similar workflow to Sumatra:

open - edit - reload - edit - reload - edit - Preview crashes - reopen - edit - reloads - edit - Preview crashes etc.

TBH I just switch to the lock screen if I need that

Probably not true that they let anything run given that they shut down all proof of stake blockchain nodes because they were bitcoin miners (or at least that's how their reasoning went).

> You can't estimate non-trivial software, and if you are doing trivial predictable work, you should be automating it, not endlessly estimating it.

so if you automate trivial predictable work (for example by making a CRUD app generator), you're moving to non-trivial software territory with costs unknown (as you said, you can't estimate), potentially very high

works in Firefox+macOS

True, I would prefer "unobtanium"

Based on our experience with, well, everything, even if local build is currently possible, we KNOW it's going to be removed later on.

My father used to use another one, I think it was called START and made in Czech. Unfortunately I can't find it on any internet archive sites :(

This may look like an ad but I was satisfied with Cantonese101 app (except for the stupid fact that flashcards are not in mobile app, only in the (responsive) web based app). I went through 2 "levels" but I failed to start using the language on a daily basis which is why I still don't really know it (my fault).

Just last week I used Termux to rsync photos from a relative's old phone to a new phone, so useful!
