I understand the intellectual satisfaction you're talking about. Now I'm wondering if we can push the minimalism to using these four holes with only two fingers. It seems doable from the diagram you link, using link fingers, and assuming half holes can be covered from the left side, and two holes can be covered with one finger at the same time. Would that work, or does the physicality of the instrument prevent that ?

Agreed, especially for "serious" project, where LLMs are a good approximation of an average dev that could easily increase your bus factor.
On the other hand, this could be the same slippery slope that starts at "choose a boring project because it has mature tooling" but ends at "IDE's are a language smell". If the language is so boring that you can't focus on it without an LLM doing the menial work, that could be because there is too much menial work to start with.
> Finally, cryptographic warnings are being eliminated. Historically, as end-to-end encryption was rolled out throughout Matrix, not all apps verified the identity of their users, triggering confusing and unactionable warnings to users. We are now shifting towards only letting devices whose ownership has been verified by their owner participate in conversations, killing those warnings - as well as other underlying protocol changes to eliminate warnings.
As the operator of a small instance for family and friends, that's an important topic. The very frequent use case is : "I lost/replaced my phone and didn't save my passphrase". Does that mean that the account would be lost ?
oh nice, I was actually wondering what was the quickest way to build a meteor.js app (which is mostly a single threaded process).
My 2 cents: I had to scroll down all the way to find out where the "CPU speed" comes from... And I'd still like to know about the "avg" part, so you may want have a more detailed "Method" section (before the results) ;)

Newbie question: how do we know we can trust the microphone?
It sounds like a chicken-and-egg problem to equalize speakers with an equalized microphone, but maybe microphones are simpler and can be assumed to be equalized ?
linuxserver.io made an rdesktop-web based docker image of DigiKam[0], so I guess it could be "upgraded" to self-hosted.
I'd be tempted by the potential of setting up various digikams as a service for my various users (the member of my family), where each instance could share some but not all photo folders with others.

I haven't used C++ in a while (sadly), but in my days I had stumbled upon deheader[0] which I don't seem mentioned here. From what I remember, it was very simple and easy to use, and yielded useful results.

A math tutor of mine was actually pretty angry at computer science for writing things like `a=1; a=2; //so 1=2 ?`
I guess he'd rather have the "assign 42 to age"... Except he'd probably read `42 => age` as "42 implies age", which would probably cause him more sleepless nights ;)
I kinda forced a friend of mine into using element/riot. He mostly complained about the lack of "polish" (which I also feel, and I'm a rather "frugal" user). He proposed Threema as an alternative, so I guess that the polish is quite the missing box.
The box I'm missing in Threema (unless I'm wrong of course) is the "not centralized" one. If for some reason (and admittedly, there aren't many realistic ones), Threema's servers/organisation are corrupted, the whole networks falls, right?

Trilium Notes[0] allows that. In fact I'm surprised that it's not mentioned here, because when I discovered it (via HN IIRC), it seemed to me that Trilium had already implemented everything I could have ever thought of for a note taking/personal knowledge management tool, and more.

Look closer... How else would you explain the decrease in congenital birth defects? Eugenism?
Not to mention the "ajax" function in the script...
> function addClass (el, cl) { if (el) { var a = el.className.split(' '); if (!afind(cl, a)) { a.unshift(cl); el.className = a.join(' ')}} }
Why does it use `unshift` rather than `push` ?
The only reason I can think of is that the last class added will be faster to remove when iterating over the array...
