hexo··on Pineapple ONE: open-source 32 bit RISC-V CPU that you can make at home
This is what RISC-V has been designed for. So yes, it is doable (as proven).

Good job.

hexo··on Introduction to Immutable Linux Systems
i dont believe anyone needs such mega-bad bloatware
hexo··on Show HN: exaequOS - a new OS running in a web browser
Chromium for exaequOS when?

Then this in chromium, recursively, ad nauseam.

hexo··on Inflation-adjusted iPhone 15 most affordable base model since 2007 original
unless they mysteriously want to backup 128gb of stuff. then it more than matters. the speed difference is absurd.

normal people cant care less what majority thinks, because they (normal people) know that in 2023 this is spit in the face for extreme amount of money. none of fanboy excuses can change that.

hexo··on How Amazon uses chaos engineering to handle 80k requests per second
only 80k?
hexo··on Transformers as Support Vector Machines
Is this an April joke?
hexo··on FCC refuses to scrap rule requiring ISPs to list every monthly fee
No you DONT. You must live in a very abusive country if you think that is normal.
hexo··on UPI Payments: 10B transactions a month done, next stop 100B
Oh yea, privacy nightmare! Enjoy. I'm out.
hexo··on Canada demands Meta lift news ban to allow wildfire info sharing
>>> If they are a public space, why are the government charging them for what the public do in that space?

I dunno, I was just stating the obvious, because someone had to do it. All sides should cut the crap and abuse (FB, Canada, news publishers).

hexo··on Canada demands Meta lift news ban to allow wildfire info sharing
No, at the end of the day, they are SO BIG that they are more like a public place/space, where you cannot really dictate your own rules, even as a owner of such place (for example restaurants is some countries. cell phone network operators.). FB should really cut the bullshit.
hexo··on Negative developer comments about Agile and Scrum on social media
I hate it. No regrets. It is good for newbies only. Even seniors new to project can benefit from it for like 2 days at most.
hexo··on GSMA considers giving away mobile device locations through API
What is this? Cyberstalking as a service or what? Is anything there even legal?
hexo··on Firefox desktop extensions coming soon for the upcoming Android release
OK. And how does requiring user account to install extension fit into this transition? Why? Do they bake me my own APK with batteries included and send it to me via email?
hexo··on Experiencing scientific revolutions: the 1660s and the 2020s
90% of those arent real or anything particularly new in 2020s era. boring
hexo··on G/O media will make more AI-generated stories despite critics
What is G/O, pleaase?
hexo··on Scrollback on Linux TTY
>>>>>> for scrolling back once you've logged into the console

>>>This, um, might pose security issue so, maybe excluding this?

oh, this is wrong and makes no sense, because I was unable to read properly the other day... i've read "once you logged out"

hexo··on Evolution of the Scrollbar
Id like to see always visible scrollbar. So called no-bullshit type. With buttons of course. No scroll overlay or whatever other random nonsense.
hexo··on Scrollback on Linux TTY
Yes, for virtual consoles. And yes for scrolling back for errors and other stuff. For example - scrolling back to see previous output (or options from --help) while typing a command.

>>> for scrolling back once you've logged into the console

This, um, might pose security issue so, maybe excluding this?

hexo··on Scrollback on Linux TTY
The thing is I oftentimes need to have it already in kernel by default and when I need it there is no way to install anything (i.e. non-working network), almost nothing installed, using less is a complete hell in these situations. Screen is very impractical for me to use, same with tmux. Kmscon isn't even in my distro (and the kmscon's idea isnt pretty at all - running a terminal right on top of another one just because we lost essential feature). Besides that it is needed when experiencing and dealing with bugs, system is locked up and i need to see the on-screen output - i.e. critical situations [yes this happened to me more than once in near past].

Thank you for tip and link!

hexo··on Bay Area woman is on a crusade to prove Yelp reviews can’t be trusted
Who does really use Yelp? I've seen no one. Is it just US-only thing, or?
hexo··on Toward a more useful keyboard
I read more useful, I see taking bad example from archaic units. Stop that hjkl bs.
hexo··on Edge sends images you view online to Microsoft
Simple, stop supporting website on this thing. Like many sites do with firefox for a long time already.

We've been there with IE. With safari. Now its time do to it to edge.

hexo··on Edge sends images you view online to Microsoft
ubuntu
hexo··on Why Perl?
It has some features one should never find in a programming language. Like overuse of sigils and that is not fun, but more like annoying af.
hexo··on Grocery Mergers? Not So Good
mergers are always bad
hexo··on He made linear algebra fun
Thanks to Him I've learned how to solve a linear algebra problem even when I had no clue what to do. He was/is absolute champion in that. At the exam, I've used his methods to approach the problem and my solutions were real different from what my examiner expected - so much that he marked my solutions as wrong(! :D), I had to point out that "wait; don't!, it IS correct" so the test correcting person had to actualy go though my solutions and proofs and really check them. I was right and passed the test.

Thank you so much Sir! OCW rullz!

hexo··on Wikipedia had wrong Vatican flag for years – now incorrect flags are everywhere
Mmmm, the Prime Example of color space hell. I'd bet these people never seen it correctly on monitor since I don't think any single of them ever had calibrated display (if i'm wrong i apologize). Pointless and priceless until it gets serious and then, wait for it, printed! Which is whole another step of brain-melting-difficulty in getting it correct. (wikipedia reverters [in this scenario] are) Laughable at least, thanks, made my day. The difference in versions from 2014 (compared to later ones) is completely hilarious. Enjoy while you can!
hexo··on Servo, the parallel browser engine written in Rust
> Some web pages are really pathological with relayout costs

I'm always wondering how much do these awesome pathological sites contribute to CO2 emissions. Along with ADs, autoplay videos, huge and slow JS libraries, animations, and other needless and outright unwanted content. Even more on mobile. I'd say it's a lot and could be cut off immediately with very positive impact and no real loss.

hexo··on Raspberry Pi/PlatformIO conflict blocks support for Pico-Arduino toolchain
What is platformio good for except messing up documentation and cluttering knowledge?

Never liked the project.

hexo··on AMD has a one-liner to help speed up Linux system resume time
How much have you been paid for it? $4k? I'd be brutally laughed at in this "awesome" country for that. Some just cannot understand it. How do you get them actually pay for that time? Thats a mystery for me.
