tkuraku··on Homeschooling (2021)
I was homeschooled from 3rd through 8th grade And then attended public high school. I think home school can be great. however, I've never met anyone who is obviously advantaged because of home school, but I've met a few that were obviously disadvantaged.
tkuraku··on Ask HN: Linux vs. Mac vs. Windows for Programming, Deep Learning, AI, ML, DS
Linux all the way.

Mac doesn't support Nvidia cards.

Windows just feels sluggish compared to Linux.

That would be the worst.
tkuraku··on Intel announces the Aurora supercomputer has broken the exascale barrier
While in general there can be many smaller workloads running in parallel. However, periodically the whole supercomputer can be reserved for a "hero" run.
tkuraku··on Xmake: A cross-platform build utility based on Lua
Cmake + submodules seems to be the most reliable option. I always hit issues with vcpkg.

tkuraku··on Zotero for Android available for beta tests
You are right. There is a zotero-ios repo though. I'm assuming after beta they will make the android build public as well?

It is open source...

tkuraku··on Ask HN: Can we do better than Git for version control?
Got works great. The main pain point for me is largr binary files. There is git LFS, but it isn't default and takes some configuration.
tkuraku··on Killing Windows 10 in 2025 could turn PCs into eWaste
I have a two desktop computers that are plenty fast that my wife and I play games on. There is no reason to upgrade. Yet, Microsoft is trying to to them into ewaste.

Not open source, but sublime text does the trick.

You don't just learn a language by osmosis. You need resources, and people to work with you.
tkuraku··on Text editing on mobile: the invisible problem
One of the issues is that most of us don't want to edit text on mobile. Beyond quick checks I'll wait till I have a big screen and a full size keyboard.
tkuraku··on Microsoft has not stopped forcing Edge on Windows 11 users
Exact opposite experience here. RHEL and friends have been much more stable reliable for me than Ubuntu.
tkuraku··on TV's are becoming intrusive and abusive; what to do about it?
Do one or both of the following.

1. Setup pihole on your home network

2. Disconnect smart tv from the Internet and get a Roku/Apple TV/Nvidia shield. While the former still have adds they seem to be better behaved.

This makes the experience much more manageable.

tkuraku··on The Ten Worst C++ Design Choices
Having used both 1-based and 0-based. Even started on 1-based with Matlab. 0-based indexing is my preferred!
tkuraku··on IBM, Red Hat and Free Software: An old maddog’s view
This! The money isn't as big of a deal as the subscription management.
tkuraku··on Why Businesses Can’t Stop Asking for Tips
Tipping needs to be made illegal. It is out of control . Plenty of countries don't have tips by default!
tkuraku··on What's wrong with enterprise Linux
I think that one of the biggest problems for my use case is license management for things outside the data center. With windows I can buy a pro license and have it attached to the hardware. I never have to worry about tracking or managing the license. With RHEL I have to make sure that the computer is registered and logged in to the license correctly. There is a lot of extra work for things like developer workstations or instrument controllers etc. If I could just buy a license of a major version of RHEL for $200-$500 and have it locked to the hardware like windows that would relieve a major administrative burden.
tkuraku··on Makie, a modern and fast plotting library for Julia
Makie has been far superior to Plots.jl in my experience.
tkuraku··on Show HN: Python can make 3M+ WebSocket keys per second
You can, but then you have to setup and build the libraries in debug mode. You can then debug with gdb or visual studio. It is just a lot more work than debugging pure python.
tkuraku··on Email proves Microsoft's Activision bid is designed to eliminate Playstation
Microsoft is just too big. I hope they are blocked from buying Activision. We don't need any more centralization!
tkuraku··on NASA secures contract with Rocky Enterprise Linux
I don't understand why they don't buy RHEL. Rocky is essentially RHEL. If RHEL isn't supported there is no Rocky.
tkuraku··on OpenMW: Open-source TES3: Morrowind reimplementation
Morrowind was just fantastic. I loved that everything seemed to always exist. You could wonder around and find a super powerful artifact or kill or lose something required fornthe main quest. It felt more immersive that way.
tkuraku··on Bye Bye Ubuntu, Hello Manjaro. How Did We Get Here?
Switch to Debian. Seems more stable and sane than Ubuntu.
tkuraku··on Red Hat dropping support for LibreOffice
Yeah, this is in reference to RHEL and friends. Generally the LO version is older.
tkuraku··on Red Hat dropping support for LibreOffice
I usually uninstall libreoffice and install the up to date flatpak anyway. This seems like the smart thing to do.
tkuraku··on I Block Ads
I use ublock origin with Firefox on Android and desktop plus a pihole. On my phone I have setup wireguard to VPN back to my house so I have pihole everywhere I go.
