@wolf480pl Agreed. When I was first hearing about it, it was through the filter of FOSS people mainly complaining that it made Linux installs harder. I get where they were coming from, but it's not a bad idea and you can generally disable Secure Boot. The rest of it was from the "M$ is evil" camp, so not unbiased about the tech itself.
@izaya

@luna@hellsite.site @kimreece use Python

@Bendodroid @izaya he's right that you don't need a disk controller if you don't have a disk or equiv storage medium. That's obvious. I think you still have a file system though: it serves an organizing function for disparate data that isn't readily served by a single application bc a given object (say, a PDF) can be used by multiple applications.

@Bendodroid @izaya some things to think about. I have to say it was odd for Proven to keep harping on how successive generations were "worse" even when they met the market and were successful given he framed the "evolution" in biological terms. Understood his meaning -- the newer machines has reduced performance on some metrics -- but the shift he's talking about isn't better or worse: it's more like left, right, or widdershins wrt to where we are now

@mingtang I could see how that would be a concern. The weirdest thing to me about that story was that it was paired with stories like that described here: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2015/09/why-drivers-in-china-intentionally-kill-the-pedestrians-they-hit-chinas-laws-have-encouraged-the-hit-to-kill-phenomenon.html
I could understand not helping injured victims as a result of the bystander effect, but the "hit to kill" thing made me sick. Like, I can't imagine myself or anyone who isn't already a hardened criminal killing someone like that.

Why was there never a "mr smithers goes to washington" Simpsons episode. That's wordplay worthy of building a plot around

@yogthos@mastodon.social oof

@mingtang howdy. I recall reading a few years ago that many Chinese people avoid helping the injured for fear of getting taken advantage of, even when they had nothing to do with the injury. It seems to be "a real thing" (http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1072095.shtml). Is it something that you've ever been affected by or is it something you've had to consider?

@freemo ever use xmonad? You basically have to learn Haskell to do anything beyond really basic mods to the default config

@freemo I had the same thought recently. I usu just use the hadamard product though. Or define an op if I need it a lot

@mikelga ah squid. Weird. It makes juice, huh?

@mikelga hmm. Qu'est-ce que c'est?

@freemo I actually tried doing something like that - just playing with LA - but with adjacency matrices. It's to help with relearning linear algebra as part of an applied math independent study.

@izaya cool looking vg. Is it based on star wars?

@mmu_man @perfor or 400. Whatever

@mmu_man @perfor well, not just. They've been integrated into mobile devices. Besides, it's not only the tech: It's also the name recognition.
...still, 500mil is a lot

@iankenway well, Debian.
