> Matrix evolves as a protocol by folks proposing new APIs (e.g. MSC3575), implementing them, showing that they work, and making the case that they should be merged into the main spec.

Yes, it is just unfortunate that it is not clear enough to more people (such as the_common_man below) that Sliding Sync is only at the MSC stage at the moment and not part of the Matrix spec.

I am glad that at least Element X allows this MSC to improve and for those nits you have mentioned to be resolved.

It's currently still a proposal to the spec, and it is not yet part of the Matrix protocol.

> Therefore to use Element X, you need to be running a homeserver with Sliding Sync support, which (for now) means running a sliding-sync proxy which bolts Sliding Sync support on to existing homeservers.

I am excited to try out Element X, but I do not want to administer yet another service, namely the Sliding Sync proxy. From a practical perspective, Sliding Sync (MSC3575) is still on the level of a proposal/experiment and I wish that we would be having this conversation about Element X after it becomes usable with any spec-compliant server.

For these things you can often just append something like "after:2020" to see current results. (I am not sure if you were aware.)

Surely following the path of the track (to see if the ends were in the same location and angled correctly, as you describe) is O(n)?

The examples on this blog are really quite neat. Can I download the software being shown, or are these just recordings of the author's private experiments?

> When I could finally do something about my problems, the idea of stoicism slowly outlived its utility for me.

Can you expand on that? Isn't one of the ideas of stoicism to focus on the things you can do to solve your problems?

Why not exclude the .git directory from being synced, if you're not going to be committing on your mobile devices? This is what I do.

I sometimes submit direct download links to archive.org , like this: https://github.com/git/git/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

I think the author is talking about maths problems, or proofs of theorems/propositions.

A problem might give you one or more mathematical objects, and ask you to show that some further condition holds true. To get started, you might consider how the given properties of those objects will help you to achieve your goal (and typically you would need to use every given property).

Why did you include functional programming in that list? It seems like the odd one out to me.

Family Link [1] also looks like it's made with Flutter (I checked the DevTools in the browser).

The software KOReader [1] has a PDF reflow setting which you can try.

Besides backups, I like to keep only one copy of any given file/project in existence. So in your case I would delete the backup after I restore it to the new computer.

I have an Obsidian vault synced using Synthing. At first I thought that Android would kill the Syncthing background process all the time, but it's been fine so far (I do have to launch Synching manually after restarting my phone).

I don't use any of Obsidian's fancy features, apart from tags and the occasional note link (so that I don't have to copy-paste a reference from another note).

I use the "daily note" feature if I want to jot something down quickly. I then formalise it later and when I'm at my computer, I check in the markdown files into git with a script that modifies the timestamps of the commit(s) to match the last-modified date of the files I'm checking in. This is so that I can know exactly when I wrote down a note, so that I can correlate the commit with other records like my browser history.

I do this too. My phone will often tell me (or it will be clear from the surroundings) that the position marker is inaccurate, but it is harder to tell if the direction marker is accurate or not, so I just use the map for this.

The idea of editing already-published blog posts is unappealing to me, in case someone bookmarks or saves a link to my article before it was edited. Unless I make it clear what content was edited and when (more work!), the reader might be coming back to something different the second time they visit my page.

It's this fact of the web that forces me to go to The Internet Archive's "Save Page Now" whenever I come across something remotely interesting, and I don't want to be part of the problem!

Before someone mentions that most likely nobody will care about my edited page - it's a matter of principle! For example, I'm sure many of us here take the time to license our toy projects, even though the vast majority of them are effectively unknown to the rest of the world.

What are the kind of people your startup looks for when hiring? I would have thought that you'd be hiring experienced developers who would not need to dedicate time to learn things like Golang, and who could hit the ground running.

Does anyone know what the previous policy was?

Being able to compose a good query is still relevant I think! My peer once asked me for help with a mathematical problem, for which they could not find help online - after not much searching I could find a relevant page, given the same information/problem statement.

Fair enough! Considering the LCD vs CRT comparison video game graphic posted elsewhere in the thread, you're probably right.

I meant cleaning up the scanlines to make it easier to sample the pixel colors.

After running a Fourier transform you only need to paint over the obvious bright spots to remove these regular artefacts (see the linked article for a demonstration).

After using the scanlines to determine the grid size, I bet you could apply a pass of some filter in the frequency domain to remove the artefacts created by the CRT screen! Like here [1], where the author removes a moiré pattern created by the process of printing a photo.

I doubt the USB data lines on a portable charger are connected to anything. When did you last update the firmware for your charger?

The replies suggest storing the API key on a backend which you control.

This is unrelated to the article, but you presumably see ads outdoors? I hate it how the most interesting things to look at on the subway are advertisements. I should try to purposefully not look at them.

I have a book with me a lot of the time but I find it difficult to concentrate on reading (or anything, for that matter) when I'm not somewhere quiet.

Huh, I wonder if LLMs are good at fuzzing in general.

So you received a brand new unit, and not a used, repaired one?
