That would be 7/27.
wwwhizz··on $6.96B was raised by private longevity companies in 2022
I'm not depressed in the slightest myself, but I just don't see why we try to keep all people alive, all the time, at all cost. Yes, I'm exaggerating a bit, but at some point life ends, and I'm fine with that.

If I have had a nice length of life (lets say something like 70 years), and am no longer happy, healthy or capable of taking care of myself, don't save me next time I need saving (in order to live longer).

wwwhizz··on How many Linux commands can a 7 year old learn?
The computer does exactly what you tell it to do, but never what you mean.
wwwhizz··on 10 Years of Nukemap
Could you please tell us what the title is? ;)

How is that without qemu?
wwwhizz··on Show HN: A simple recording program with the ability to record the screen
To build it, yes. It never mentions it is for running on Windows.
wwwhizz··on Show HN: A simple recording program with the ability to record the screen
This only records the whole screen. You might want to try OBS Studio?

Congrats on making a small, useful, working tool! I like the minimalism.

Maybe you should mention on your GitHub page that it is for Windows.

wwwhizz··on FBI probe: nitrate amount in Beirut blast was a fraction of original shipment
I'm not American, and I am genuinely curious, why does the FBI investigate this?

I can imagine the US government wanting an investigation in cases like this, and I can understand Beirut wanting (or maybe just allowing) different countries to investigate, but isn't foreign investigations a job of the CIA (or, at least, not the FBI)?

wwwhizz··on Python Best Practices for a New Project in 2021
"best practices"

`curl https://pyenv.run | bash`

hmmm...

wwwhizz··on Unicode Proposal – Textile Care Symbols
I ended up washing everything on 40 degrees and throwing everything in the dryer. Works just fine.
wwwhizz··on Free Math Books
Under which license are these books published?
wwwhizz··on How New York became a metropolis of stoops
Interesting. Here in the Netherlans only old houses in cities still have these things. What we call "stoep" nowadays is simply the pavement/sidewalk.
wwwhizz··on Xfce 4.16
Yes!
wwwhizz··on These are called opportunities
Simply run your app in a VM, that should degrade performance, customizable as well.
wwwhizz··on BitTorrent v2
So watching Netflix and YouTube gets more expensive? No, thanks. I'm fine with European net-neutrality and pay for bandwidth.
wwwhizz··on Professor suspended for saying 那个 nà ge
Oof, we better fire all Korean professors. /s
wwwhizz··on I thought I would have accomplished a lot more today and also before I was 35

wwwhizz··on Can we do better than our C compiler?
Manual assembly is almost never worth the effort.
wwwhizz··on Boids
Maybe, but a simulation is only as good as its model. If this model of boids does not have the same properties as the pandemic, the simulation is probably not good enough.

For a nice visualization and simulation of a spreading virus and why social distancing is a good idea: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/corona-si...

wwwhizz··on CacheOut: Leaking Data on Intel CPUs via Cache Evictions
That's bibtex, for LaTeX.
wwwhizz··on Why Are Alphabet Letters Arranged How They Are?
Ah, the old "elemenopee"
wwwhizz··on FFmpeg libav tutorial – from basic to transmuxing, transcoding and more
Define better.

It's more CPU/GPU intensive, is not as widely supported, and there probably are more downsides.

Better quality at the same bitrate? For most use-cases: yes.

wwwhizz··on The Wayback Machine: Fighting Digital Extinction in New Ways
There is a whole scientific field on this, called Information Theory. Compressing entropy is limited by its randomness.

For instance see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_%28information_theory%...

and

wwwhizz··on Dutch police take down hornets' nest of DDoS botnets
But they do have to follow the law, which is his point.
wwwhizz··on “Did You Eat the Whole Cake?” On Learning Estonian
I stand corrected, I didn't know you could spell it that way. What a weird language we have :)
wwwhizz··on “Did You Eat the Whole Cake?” On Learning Estonian
`borsjtschrokkende`, not `borsjtsjschrokkende`. And yes, that is `mierenneukerig` (nit-picking, literally: ant f*cking). Besides: using a word like borsjt is cheating.
wwwhizz··on Goodreads Is Broken
After which it will still recommend it to you.
wwwhizz··on A history of Tetris randomizers (2018)
Ohh, that's evil :D
wwwhizz··on Show HN: Zero-Config Documentation Websites for Python
Still here: https://pdoc3.github.io/pdoc/ (bottom only).

Seems like he means well, but if he means that well, why not remove them?
