Doom is Turing complete FYI, so if it wasn’t for the inherent limitations on the number of gates due to small map size Doom would be able to run Doom

But can DOOM run it? - https://calabi-yau.space/blog/doom.html

From the manufacturer’s point of view all they see/hear from big tech is “these fridge ads are very effective, see this guy who bought a fridge as evidence.”

Not just influencers. EdTech, including Khan Academy, is pushing AI to make virtual versions of historical figures to engage students.

Ditto. I don’t see how this is different/better from existing harnesses such as Opencode, Pi, and even “commercial” open source offerings such as the CLIs for Codex, Copilot, and Gemini, especially once tricked out with plugins and extensions.

Ironically it’s because they paid very expensive artists.

The windows 8 logo was done by Paula Scher of Pentagram, one of the most exclusive and expensive graphic design firms.

Meeting with Microsoft early in the development process, Pentagram asked: “Your name is Windows. Why are you a flag?”

Docker’s main advantage is just being more well known and hence more supported as a default option.

Even then, I feel that this availability of docker compose files is an illusion, due to their verbosity and limitations inherent to docker. Less granular control of permissions, clunkiness in updating images, and multi container stacks feeling like an afterthought.

In pretty much all other ways podman feels superior. Cockpit provides a basic web gui, but quadlets are the main draw. Way easier to configure, explicitly designed for multi containers, and updating all images is a single command.

Roughly, the different ecosystems from least to most complex are:

Docker/Portainer -> Podman/Cockpit/Quadlets -> Kubernetes

MATLAB, Julia, R, Fortran, Lua.

Imo the real point of contention is column vs row major ordering in matrices. Actually so cursed trying to move between languages.

As someone completely unfamiliar with the JavaScript mess, are these security issues specific to npm the actual repository or npm the package manager?

If it’s the latter, does using something else like yarn or bun instead help?

Most things are logarithmically scaled, including our perceptions.

Having 1 -> 5 apples is a large and easily comprehensible change, but most people probably rapidly lose interest having beyond more than 5 apple.

Similarly the first few birthdays you experience are much more exciting, with the importance rapidly diminishing as you hit milestones. A lot of people start forgetting how old they are in their 20s; the ones that do are mostly due to dating apps.

Create a hit one person TV show/movie. Bonus if you’re millennial and messy.

E.g. Bo Burnham if you’re messy millennial man, Fleabag if you’re messy millennial woman, and Mae Martin if you’re messy millennial non-biney.

Maths feels like a first class citizen in latex. The syntax is ugly, but there is some logic through the legacy jank.

Typst makes fundamental design decisions that render it unsuitable beyond extremely simply equations. In LaTeX, curly braces are nearly always reserved for enclosing arguments, to avoid confusion with actual brackets.

Typst uses normal brackets for both its scripting and actual maths.

For example, \frac{n(n+1)}{2} in latex turns into (n(n + 1)) / 2 in typst. The typst code is incredibly unclear - the first set of brackets with the slash together actually form the fraction operator, so neither end up visible.

You can see how this would start to struggle even with high school level maths, with bracketed terms and possibly fractional terms in exponents, integrals, etc.

For example, it is very difficult for me to work out the difference between the following three in typst. That is specifically not what you want from a typesetting language.

1/2(x + y)
1/x(x + y)
1/2^x(x + y)

LaTeX ignores whitespace, so you can just use a formatter to space out your code and ensure the curly braces. This is not even an option in typst, which uses the space as an escape character.

People always rave about dash to panel/dock and I just… don’t get it?

Genuinely though, what is the purpose of the taskbar except to potentially you with notifications and take up valuable screen estate?

If I need to switch apps, I’m either opening the overview/mission control, switching workspaces, or the app is already on the screen for multitasking purposes.

Even on macOS I set the dock to autohide, and near exclusively just use swipe gestures, keyboard shortcuts, or spotlight.

But alas, maybe it’s just one of those things that just not for me.

Even the cheapest shower curtains have extra sewn in threads at the bottom which weigh them down and prevent clinging.

Mould isn’t an issue if you’re airing out the bathroom properly, and washing the curtains every week or so.

Glass is also prone to mould as well, but you can’t just throw out it. The tracks they require are particularly difficult to keep clean and give me the heeby jeebies.

Washing curtains is infinitely easier than maintaining and cleaning the glass tracks.
