You’re very welcome!

Are they saying that the clocks in Androids still use quartz, but iPhones use MEMS clocks, even though they both use general MEMS silicon?

Correct. MEMS technology is used in the accelerometers and gyros in the inertial measurement units (IMUs) that are in pretty much every smartphone. Apple decided to switch to using MEMS clocks, probably because it means that they can reduce part count slightly as it would mean that they can incorporate them on the same chip as the CPU or the like.

Linux. Couldn’t be arsed dealing with Windows.

Wondering if Modern LLMs like GPT4, Claude Sonnet and llama 3 are closer to human intelligence or next word predictor.

They are good at sounding intelligent. But, LLMs are not intelligent and are not going to save the world. In fact, training them is doing a measurable amount of damage in terms of GHG emissions and potable water expenditure.

I had missed that. Thank you!

I’ll go with FreeCAD. I’ve known about it for a while and tried it about 5-10 years ago but have given it another look as I try to get back into CAD stuff and hate the restrictive licenses of commercial products. It has come a LONG way and is far more intuitive to use than it used to be.

Seconded. Commercialism and monetizing everything is what caused the www to rot. We don’t need it here. Neoliberalism has already robbed generations of the right to simply exist or create without a profit motive, among other things, like literacy. Pretty sick of it.

You’ve received a lot of great advice that I’ve seen. Definitely getting labs would be a good first step. I’d suggest working with your therapist on this, honestly. Supposing that you’re not dealing with a deficiency or medication issue, it might be important to figure out how long you’ve been feeling this way, what way it is exactly that you’re feeling, and figuring out what to do about it.

(with lasers): “How about now?”

I don’t think it works on cats :(

They can believe all they want. Legitimate medicine requires evidence.

My German professor even mentioned the archaic apfelsine for the citrus orange.

Yes. They all have serial numbers, likely sequential so if a roll has serials 0005 through 00150 and some are stolen it should be very easy to tell. If the inventory records show 5 sales and only 00142 through 00150 are remaining, all cards from 00011 to 00141 can be safely assumed stolen and invalidated.

Always the former. It’s a short form of regular expression, not rejular expression. But I don’t really judge others for their chosen pronunciation, as long as it’s understandable.

I enjoy your pronunciation! I’ve been using Linux primary for nearly 20 years now. Here’s my list:

GUIX is a good example.

Don’t say ansible. It’s barely declarative.

True, but it uses a common language in its Playbooks, which is a significant advantage. I’d like nix if I didn’t need to use nix the language. It’s great concept and the portability is awesome.

To me, 1400 projects is just an insane number, and it’s only possible because they are all so trivial.

Holy shit. I’m going to have to go through my team’s dependencies. I don’t feel confident that someone “maintaining” that many projects is going to be able to keep all bad actors at bay. Not to mention, none of the examples of his libraries that I’ve seen SHOULD be libraries.

And anyone who has been around for a while should remember when left-pad broke node.js. Including unnecessary dependencies, instead of writing trivial code is just bad practice.

I don’t get the concept that depending on 7 lines of code from a third-party package is remotely acceptable. It’s expanding the potential attack surface to save a dev from templating 7 lines of boilerplate. There’s no net benefit or appreciable time saved.

I’m glad I don’t have to deal with this regularly.

ETA: The package is even MIT licensed! There’s no excuse but laziness and not wanting to understand the code to import this rather than inlining or implementing a novel version. If I can spend the time to write:

if err != nil {
  slog.Warn("well shit", "error", err)
  return err
}

after every function call…I just didn’t get it.
