Re:Do you have any suggestions on RSS readers? on Tuesday November 26, 2024 @12:00PM (#42247426)
https://bazqux.com/ It doesn't check all your boxes but it checks all mine. I've used elfeed, google reader, feedly, miniflux, and this is the best! Not free but I'm happy to pay $30/year for excellence. Desktop and mobile app both work great. Has all the right key shortcuts. Fast. Tagging and stars (but I never use em).

Some excerpts from the FAQ:

How long do you keep ar­ti­cles un­read? Un­read ar­ti­cles are kept for­ever. Al­though there is a limit of 500 to­tal (both read and un­read) ar­ti­cles per feed. How often feeds are up­dated? Re­fresh rate de­pends on the time of the last ar­ti­cle in feed: few hours ago—each 15–45 min­utes, less than a week—each 1–2 hours, less than a month—each 2–3 hours and 3+ hours for oth­ers. Feeds that sup­port WebSub are up­dated in re­al­time. Do you sup­port pass­word pro­tected feeds? Yes, feeds with HTTP ba­sic ac­cess au­then­ti­ca­tion are sup­ported. How many feeds I can sub­scribe to? You can sub­scribe or im­port up to 3000 feeds.

Is there an explanation for why almost all the words most distant from "man" are either uppercase or otherwise lexically anomalous? Is it largely driven by their being low frequency in the corpus?
thanks - looking forward to the patch
did you try "yes | dimsum -n 1"?

In my hands, `top` shows resident memory increasing steadily too....

It is perhaps more instructive to compare output from, for example

seq 1 1000000 | valgrind --time-unit=B --pages-as-heap=yes --trace-children=yes --tool=massif --massif-out-file=massif.dimsum.100000.out.%p dimsum -n 1

with

seq 1 1000000 | valgrind --time-unit=B --pages-as-heap=yes --trace-children=yes --tool=massif --massif-out-file=massif.shuf.100000.out.%p shuf -n 1

in my hands, shuf is faster and uses less memory for this task.

How about you?
