What my own research led me to: https://www.viewsonic.com/global/products/commercial-display... (OS-Free Commercial Display, all sizes available) + HTPC.

The 2.0L ND2 does the 0-60 in 6s. Still not fast, but not slow either! Get them before they're discontinued (it is in Europe, I got lucky).

American drivel. A revvy 4 pots like what Honda used to put in their S2000 or old Type Rs (Integra, Civic) is more exciting than lazy V8s.

> but the vast majority of people in academia are just regular people with families and interests outside of academia

If most people realized that, we would have much less problems: academics are often shrouded in an aura of virtue and wisdom they don't deserve in the least. Like what you see in this thread, that their narrow (or worse, illusory) knowledge will somehow help them being good rulers/leaders.

I did that yesterday after updating from macOS 14 to 15 on my work laptop; well, added "10.0.0.0/8" too. Spent a few hours trying to understand that that new permission thing simply couldn't work with my Emacs launch agent (service)... fucking Apple treating CLI users like dirt.

"Democracy Just Werks^tm" is starting to look like "The Free Market will solve it" more and more with each passing day...

Someone never tried shoegaze...

The unspoken question here is "can a species with an aversion to harmony form a civilization, something requiring some form of strong and extended cooperation?".

I pretend to have a modicum of taste and while I didn't find it boring on the whole, there's a much smaller yet better novel that could be extracted from it. It's just way too self-indulgent and meandering at times.

Well, they call it a pure "driver's car" but it's really too fussy to be that. A Miata or Elise/Exige would be what I'd put that label on.

Electric car, decent autonomy and light weight: choose two; at least for now.

Very related and interesting discussion that got posted in the comments about the new Crubit thingie: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/embedder-dev/c/W_...

Still nothing for people who don't care about the color gimmick? I mean my Aura One is still going strong, but I fear it'll never be replaced by something better (or even as good).

I'm not speaking about the default login shell, which is indeed zsh, but what /bin/sh points to.

It'd matter if this certification came with an extensive test suite guaranteeing some degree of compliance. Instead, you have macOS defaulting to an antediluvian bash as /bin/sh full of ridiculous bugs like this:

  $ cat test.sh
  var=
  echo "${var+{\}}"
  cat <<EOF
  ${var+\"foo\"}
  EOF
  $ /bin/sh test.sh
  {\}
  \"foo\"
  $ /bin/dash test.sh
  {}
  "foo"

Note that they even ship dash as a much better /bin/sh...

Pleasantly surprised to see a ~600 lines Cargo.lock (vs 2200 for wild, for example) here! Hope it can slim it down further.

Something I really look into because the crates situation (due to a too small stdlib à la R5RS Scheme) is Rust's Achilles' heel, since it directly affects its security claims.

You work to live, you don't live to work.

As someone who did enough of both (in fact, Tcl was my gateway to Lisp), I'd say yes and no.

Classical Lisp (Scheme/CL) has much more elegant core concepts/semantics, but often much more clunky stdlibs and small/outdated batteries. This shows in unexpected places like the way homoiconicity has a big caveat: comments break the "code as tree" contract, forcing you to revert back to the useless "code as string" middle ages.

I know that because I had a need to hack together an horrible replacement for the thing I miss the most from Lisp: quasiquoting (https://git.sr.ht/~q3cpma/tcl-misc/tree/e4ba1bb4fcca729337b9...).

------

So, despite the fact that I'd probably recommend Janet to people who want Tcl without Tk, these days, I still like it. Do note that compared to its competitors (Ruby, Python, Perl), its POSIX support is _really_ bad. There's no way in core to do signal handling or open a UNIX socket (and dead TclX that doesn't use namespaces isn't a replacement). Even SBCL has sb-posix.

Didn't expect Wayland support that soon!

Sooner or later, people will have to realize an uncomfortable truth: intelligence, while important, is overrated compared to willpower.

And you're okay using very flexible newspeak like "xenophobia" as a rhetorical bludgeon to shut anyone who doesn't want a slow genocide?

Cool stuff.

What about the enterprise version (https://lain.wiki/images/5/53/CoplandOS.png), though? :^)

Such a classic societal fail most people can't seem to recognize. The point isn't to read, it's to read because you want to, not because of a stick/carrot.

RMS makes the same mistake in thinking that disallowing proprietary software in repos is better than giving the tools to avoid it and education about what is compromised in the process.

  A man may be a heretic in the truth; and if he believes things only because his pastor says so, or the assembly so determines, without knowing other reason, though his belief be true, yet the very truth he holds becomes his heresy

Good job and clean website interface! Something as exhaustive as this is clearly needed.

Some remarks:

1. Why does the CoW button remove XFS from the list? Even https://github.com/fenio/modern-fs-benchmark/blob/main/scrip... mentions it has reflink enabled

2. If you have the time, adding XFS + mdraid + dm-integrity [1] (in bitmap mode) as a comparison point against ZFS RAID-Zx might be an interesting data point. That's what I run, personally.

3. Did you give some thoughts to the I/O scheduler choice? Might matter a lot in some cases.
