Ahh, the comment I was looking for

I would have also accepted: “Haskell did it first.”

Yeah, I just saw news about that last night. If he can make recess appointments it’s all over.

X2go is the successor to NX and works well IMO, though I’ve never tried Rustdesk to compare.

My understanding is that there hasn’t been a technical Senate recess in a long time. I think there b has to be a 5 day gap or something, so one senator stays in DC, calls the Senate to order, then adjourns it. Something like that.

First, you’re stronger than i. Congrats on the life shift.

Second, “not having constant input” can be viewed as a skill. Meditation is a way that I have practiced that skill (I’m quite out of practice these days).

I recommend doing guided meditation. It’s not the thing for everyone, but it helps some.

They’re Japanese patents, so maybe they’re already circulating in Japanese media and haven’t been translated yet.

Alternatively, maybe the Japanese Patent Office requires you to follow some bureaucratic process to get a copy: like you have to be a lawyer and it takes 4-6 weeks to get your reply. I don’t know, but Japan just finally got rid of its last laws requiring floppy disks for certain processes a few years back, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility

I’m sure we’ll hear the details soon.

I wish FIDO had paid more attention to SQRL. It’s long in the tooth now, but with some attention it could have been a better solution than passkeys, IMO.

I’d argue that the concept of isolated environments is great. Python’s implementation… leaves something to be desired.

It’s still a bit hacky, even in Python 3. Tools like uv and pdm exist in the gaps to smooth it out.

That said, it’s something that the core community is actively working on and it’s not something users will face day to day.

I say this as someone who moved from PHP 3 to Python 2 to Ruby to PHP 6+ to Python 3 as their goto language over the years.

That depends on whether you treat “limericks” as a trochee (long-short, i.e. “lim-ricks”) or a dactyl (long-short-short, i.e. “lim-er-icks”).

Firefox still doesn’t have a native vertical tab bar.

That is only mostly true now. There is an about:config setting you can turn on in FF 129 (released this week) which will let you have native vertical tabs. The implementation is only about half done, but it’s good enough for me to use alongside Sidebery Tabs.

You can track progress on vertical tabs in Bugzilla. They are also working on tab groups, but that work is at an earlier stage.

All in all, I think we’ll see vertical tabs in the next 6 months or so? As a devout Firefox user and resister of the Chromium monopoly, I am really excited.

Sounds to me like lawyers got wind of it and were worried that NVIDIA might sue them because they paid to have it made. They would likely be concerned about this whether or not NVIDIA had a case.

Even everyone’s favourite Gary Brannan, Gary Brannan?

You could probably do a season about how all the people making up and spreading the conspiracies are all part of a conspiracy…

Through the magic of buying two of them…

I’m already on an independent git forge, so I have that covered.

I only read the protocol document and skimmed the guide, so I didn’t see the cryptocurrency angle of the funding company. Yeah, that’s a bit of a warning sign.

Um… It’s literally hosting itself, complete with issues and PRs (which they call patches). So to me it seems to replace a forge.

For private repos, it could be quite a good fit. No need for other contributors/users.

I was looking for something like this as a private alternative to GitHub/GitLab last month. Awesome to stumble across this.

This is interesting because I’ve been thinking about switching from Debian to Arch. I’m already running Nix inside of my Debian installation to get more recent apps (I don’t like how snap interacts with the rest of the system, so I avoid it if I can).

Is there anything else on a more base OS level (like apt v pacman) that you’ve noticed is different, if you’re willing to share?

Makes sense. I can’t blame you for taking that position. I think we need a paid search engine: if you’re not paying you’re the product, after all.

DDG has gone downhill in recent years.

Not as much as Google though, so I’ve been feeling like it’s been getting better and better, but it’s just a comparative feeling.
