Why is the effort "slow"? As far as I can tell, LZMA is still better than ZSTD at compression. ZSTD is just faster. So LZMA seems to be a better solution to the bandwidth cost problem.

I have a few ideas to make it more useful, but every time I try to get into developing an app, I get frustrated and give up. It is probably the worst codebase I have ever seen. Just walls of strangely named function calls with no code comments and no documentation whatsoever.
Not ANY other person. Just people who are not rich and well-connected. See also: Donald Trump.
Bingo! Many companies are invested in real estate, and having the ticking time bomb of empty offices vs unsustainable office rent finally implode would be bad financially. Hence, the push everywhere to return to the office.
The benefits of being in a physical office disappeared 20 years ago. COVID accelerated the formation of globally distributed teams. To now go back to commuting 2-3 hours a day, just to do your Zoom calls from and office desk, is insanity.
I am terrified that this issue, together with the extra protection, is one day going to lock me out of my phone permanently.
And what about redundancy and backups? Even a one-person business needs those, and small businesses arguably have fewer resources to spend on manual DR processes.
Assuming that the dryer continues to run, it is perfectly safe to keep it running indefinitely in a fish tanks (without fish, of course). You just have to unplug it before removing it.
Works perfectly for me. I have a tab group for every possible activity on my computer - Banking, take-out food, one for each research topic, one for each software or hardware project I am working on, and so on.
Altogether thousands of tabs, and STG manages them without a hitch.
Especially if your fax machine uses JBIG2 compression. See: https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2021/12/a-deep-dive-i...
Sometimes, I feel extremely privileged to be living today. It's like a mathematician being able to interview Euler or a physicist interviewing Newton.
Completely off-topic, but that reminds me of when I went hunting for my first apartment as a broke grad student. One of the places I viewed consisted of (only) a tiny living room and a tinier kitchen. The toilet was in the kitchen, sandwiched between the stove and sink. The only countertop area was a swing-up board above the toilet. Must have sucked if you had to take a dump in the middle of preparing dinner.
Interestingly, my (smaller) city's sub has quite a cozy community. There are sometimes lively debates, and we do have a few complete idiots hanging around, but for the most part, it is a pleasant place to be.
My county's main sub (r/Canada) on the other hand, is mostly moderated by foreigners with far-right connections. Yesterday's budget announcement was initially greeted by a flurry of positive posts. Less than 24 hours later, most of these had been removed by the mods, and replaced with a barrage of negative posts, obviously originating from Russian misinformation farms.
Absolutely.
Like with anything else, you literally get what you pay for. Free search services like Google and DuckDuckgo indeed suck. I pay for Kagi, and have a wonderful search experience. I seldom have trouble finding anything. Once in a while I use someone else's computer and have to use Google. What a jarring, unpleasant experience.
For human children, swallowing a single magnet is a nuisance, but swallowing more than one is a medical emergency, for exactly that reason.
Driver compatibility was terrible, as you might expect, but it could support a vast amount of memory (relative to XP). I used the base O/S only to run VMware Workstation, and then ran small instances of XP, each dedicated to a task like audio, video, etc, on top of that. Along with FreeBSD and various flavors of Linux.
That was my daily driver until late 2010. Solid as a rock.
Today, we are forcing people out into the street through low wages and callous layoffs to increase corporate profits. All the while, condoning skyrocketing rents due to the commoditization of housing. Meanwhile, we provide virtually no support for homeless people. We literally leave them out to die in the street, as the article states. This attitude will likely be viewed in a similar light a hundred years from now as we view slavery today.

In what sense? I came from a CP/M environment, and Wordstar transferred just fine to DOS.
Funnily enough, I tried Word Perfect and Word for DOS at about the same time. Word's way of doing things just made sense to me, while Word Perfect was always 'that weird word processor'. At the time, I was in the minority, but I guess I've been vindicated by history.
