We kinda do, with GPS satellites that have to correct their clocks due to the effects of gravity and speed
And communication with space probes
I use 24h clocks and ISO 8601 dates almost always
Honestly, I’m better at organizing code than I am my actual life
Timezones make intuitive sense for humans
UTC / Unix timestamps make intuitive sense for computers
The issue is bridging the gap
I wonder if KDE connect could leverage the way Syncthing does device discovery and pairing
It works across networks, with no configuration
There’s a reason I run Linux, and root my Android
Because it actually feels like my device now
(And fixing issues is significantly easier, if you know where to look)
Gimp is super useful
But the learning curve is insane (especially if you’re not already familiar with digital art/ photo manip)
I am a programmer, and i also like the naming scheme on the right
Especially for things like filenames
It’s an explicit “opt-out” by the OP, such that their content cannot (legally) be used to train LLMs or such (Chat GPT, Github Copilot, etc)
Well, that’s what I assumed until i read the license terms. It doesn’t explicitly mention AI or LLMs, but it does say
You may not use the material for commercial purposes
Which i assume has the same limitations for AI training, for commercial AI
(I am not a lawyer)
While i also disagree with python’s tendency to use exceptions as control flow
Python is a pretty stellar scripting language. I wouldn’t use it for app dev, but it’s quite handy for the odd automation or CLI task
I’ve gone full linux both at home and at work. Thankfully, most of the tools we use are cross platform / FOSS. But in the odd case, I use KVM (the linux equivalent to Hyper-V) to spin up a windows VM
It has it’s issues (like graphics card pass-through), but it works pretty well
Use a spectroscopic app on your phone
It’ll help you identify the source of high pitch sounds
I once noticed an external HDD was making a high pitch noise intermittently, as the LED turned on and off. It was bizarre
Edit: spalling
I recently broke the networking stack by uninstalling ca-certificates
I was using a slightly risky command to delete unneeded packages, and for some reason ca-certificates
was on the list
At least the fix was simple. Boot the rescue iso and reinstall them
It haunts me in my dreams
