> they're just very low power,

I guess you meant to write high power as in high electrical power consumption? Or low power in the sense of low processing power? Anyway: Performance per Watt is probably pretty bad for current quantum computers ;)

> I cannot choose any of the parts, and even doing simple reparation tasks like replacing a battery is a nightmare these days.

There is the https://www.fairphone.com/en/ which is a modular and easy to repair smartphone. They also make it easy to install alternative operating systems like Sailfish or an OSS version of Android.

Zoom is a different software, so I don't really see a connection to Firefox. Am I missing something?

> Soon BTC will surpass the value of gold

How would one measure that? The price of one bitcoin compared to the price of a kilogram of gold? That seems arbitrary. Total market value? Transaction volume?

On most microwaves I encountered one can just press the start button and it will do just that: Start with a 30s countdown and pressing it again will add 30s.

> The most mind-boggling thing about development IMO is the fact that it works at all, let alone so reliably.

This sounds to me like engineers talking about a code base :)

According to the contribution graph (https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye/graphs/contributors) it was started in 2013 when Python 3.3 was already released. So what where the reaosons the project started in Python 2 in the first place?

> if I am working on a tough logic problem I usually have to turn down any music with lyrics or high complexity as I will try to focus on the music instead.

This is similar for me. The worst are live recording with applause and interactions with the audience from a show. While I can fade out lyrics it's close to impossible to ignore these.

For Python this is only true for wheels packages. Source packages may execute arbitrary code in setup.py during pip install (compiling C code for example).

It also means that the author of the list will add any additional "thing" to the list you tell them about :)

True. Which leads us back to that it is a "Misleading sensationalist headline." as somebody else mentioned here.

> Six days later on Christmas Eve, he became sick after working a shift in the COVID-19 unit, the report added.

Since when are six days "more than a week"?

I usually just select the qr code in the terminal to invert it and then scan it :)

Why not move to GitLab right now? Their core product is OSS and the CI is integrated and free for OSS projects.

Oh very nice thanks :) It would feel a bit like cheating though to just buy a ready made kit ;)

I wonder how they assemble the cores and the wires efficiently, because that was always the most painful part when working with the cores.

Edit: Typos

Our hackerspace name https://coredump.ch and logo are based on core memory :)

We still want to build an 8x8 (or maybe just 8x7) bit core memory one day to be able to store the word "coredump" as ASCII in it.

Some time ago we bought some cores on ebay and did setup a 2x2 matrix with them and played around a bit with using an oscilloscope and some FETs to write and read them.

> I've been going for short walks but I really need that kind of exercise that leaves you struggling to think afterwards.

I have started to go running during the lock down in March where I live. I recommend you get a good pair of running shoes if you want to start. Also I used a sports tracker on my phone to track progress, which helped me stay motivated.

For me usually after the first 15 minutes of running, my brain stops thinking and is just focusing on the running and my immediate surroundings.

But in that case hopefully all the admins are trusted. Parent was talking about untrusted users.

Since Windows 10 is newer than Windows Server 2008 I assume it is supported as well, since it says "Windows Server 2008 or later" is required.

I think that line was intended as a sarcastic joke.

There is https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv but it doesn't seem to print with borders between cells.

They probably meant that the whole imperial system is still broken compared to the metric, but is still in use nevertheless.

I remember receiving a warning a few weeks ago which announced the upcoming changes and what I'd need to do to keep most of my stuff (one needed to unset the master password to migrate the saved passwords for example IIRC)

> I don't know, I like having a back button on my browser.

What's wrong with just using the Android back button in the browser? I find it quite intuitive to use.

There is a beta channel already. But you'll only get the features which will land in the next stable release anyway 6 weeks in advance.

I'm curios which features OS development need from nightly. Maybe inline assembly?

I've been doing some bare metal embedded projects in Rust and didn't need nightly for quite some time.

There was a blog post with some benchmarks in 2018: https://jwilm.io/blog/alacritty-lands-scrollback/ But not sure if this is still applicable.

Same here, page loaded pretty fast and lag is maybe 200ms on my phone using Firefox.

Current consumption. FPGAs are quite energy intensive compared to ASICs.

Also for analog stuff you can't use FPGAs. And if you need an ASIC anyways for that why not include the digital part as well?
