Bit annoying is that when companies ask for a portfolio, they often mean GitHub. Lot of non-technical hiring people I discussed this with were confused by the fact that there are other ways to contribute, like mailing lists.

What I find interesting is that the project claims MIT license, but if it is "almost entirely" AI generated, I am not sure it even is copyrightable. So either the licensing terms deserve some large disclaimers, or it is not "almost entirely" made with AI. Based on the name I assume it is your project, could you shed some light on which of those two options is correct?

It's mff.cuni.cz. ff.cuni.cz is faculty of philosophy, mff is faculty of math and physics :)

> so app starts

I assume this "app" is not open source, correct? Is is compatible with Linux systems? Can it run on non-FHS distribution?

> all your other apps are shutdown

I admit I am curious about this bit. Does it just start killing all other processes belonging to the same user ID? Or of all users (since you could get "assist" from process owned by an another user)? At least PID 1 needs to survive the slaughter, but it can be used to run arbitrary code to assist with the cheating. So how does it tell what is "an app" it needs to stop?

No.

If you (the company) send me a company laptop to use for that shit, sure, we can interview that way. It is the same deal with Teams and Zoom. None of that shit is touching my personal devices, it is strictly limited to the work machine.

> Unicode case folding decisions can also be made at that point

Ok I will bite. How do you indent to do case folding without knowing the language the string is in? Will every filename or whatever also have its language as part of the string? I am not sure what the plan is there.

I would hope google has DKIM and SPF set.

Also happy Firefox user here. Do not worry, there are dozens of us. Dozens!

Most of the spam I get is from gmail. Maybe they should apply their so effective spam engine to outgoing mail as well...

That seems actually quite impressive.

But it seems to involve moving parts, so I am not sure the reliability trade-off is worth it for decades/centuries long missions.

> with a clear practical use,

What is a practical use for largest known prime number?

I do not understand why

    x = if something:
          func1()
        else:
          func2()

Would not work. At least that is what I imagine when it is said "make if an expression".

Well did they not tried to jail Trump for what he wrote online in January after loosing the election?

The macho unicorn is kinda dope though.

As long as the set is limited (as enums usually are), you can always go with the middle ground between omitted case and catch all:

    case FILE_NOT_FOUND:
        /* This is normal, nothing to do. */
        break;

This should still catch adding new value into the enum and not handling it.

Maybe cheaper, but what about power consumption? I would have expected them to need significantly more, which might matter for battery-powered devices.

I wonder if I have ever had a laptop where the UEFI worked correctly and without bugs. It always required some workaround somewhere to get stuff working.

I prefer reading papers on paper, with fountain pen to make notes. It is easier for me to focus on compared to electronics devices (well, I am answering on HN instead of doing things I should be doing)...

> Also, without some sort of indicator, Vim’s modal design is awkward here—it’s very easy to forget which mode you’re in.

That is why I have this in inputrc:

set editing-mode vi

set show-mode-in-prompt on

set vi-ins-mode-string +

set vi-cmd-mode-string :

Out of curiosity, can you drop into edit session during the macro? It is some time since I last used vim, so I do not recall, but in emacs you can record a macro along the lines of "do A, do B, drop to edit session letting user do whatever, do C, do D". Is that possible with vim macros?

It is not their device... Or at least it should not be.

The problems is that I will still use linux for all my spare-time computing, so obviously I would like the experience to be as same as possible.

The island is tiny. According to the article, when population roused to about 200, it led to famine. The local food supply just cannot support large population.

I will be getting my first mac soon (I am still sad about it), which means I will need to figure out the WM. Currently I am considering yabai and amethyst. I guess now I should add AeroSpace to the list.

If you are actually using tiling WM on mac, could you share which one and why?

Looking at `man 3 exec', argv0 is controlled by the caller and has no connection to the actual name on the disk.

Maybe, just maybe, they consider it wasteful to throw away a working machine. The hardware is not exactly green to make, so sure, lets everyone buy a new laptop every year.
