To be fair

I didn’t notice that either

Install MSEdgeRedirect to solve this problem.

I also recommend O&O Shut Up 10 and StartAllBack

Me: Why go through all that trouble, just install Linux

Alternatively you would switch to Linux.

Welp

Imo, it’s nice to see tools written in a memory safe systems language

Especially if you use a lot of them. More utility, less attack surface

Apply directly to the forehead

I think i chose my terms poorly

In this case, what i meant by “Signal propagation” was purely the time delay from retinal stimulation, to optic nerve, to brain

And by “brain processing”, i meant “the time it takes from brain receives visual data to you experiencing it”

Also, if you’re interested, Artem Kirsanov is a really fascinating YT channel that talks about cutting edge research into neurons and information processing

I would expect that brain processing takes orders of magnitude longer than signal propagation

So, while you’re probably correct, I’d wager that the brain processing delay drowns out any variances in signal propagation speeds

(I are computer science, not neuroscience)

To explain

There are 2 Error struct / enum declarations, probably in separate files

To the ?, they are different types and cannot be converted from one to the other (because they are two disparate structs that happen to have the same name, but can have different bodies)

To fix this

You can either use .some_func_result().map_err(|err| /* conversion here/*)?; +

Or you can impl From<Error1> for Error2

And you should also name it ThingError, so you can visually differentiate the two

+ There are like 10 different mapping functions, depending on if you’re using an option or a result

I never remember which one specifically i need, (unwrap_or, map_or, map_or_else, ok, ok_or)

I usually just hunt through the auto complete list until i find the function signature that gives me what i need

I mean, you just need to look at the conflicting files, fix up the code, then stage those changes and pop a new commit

There’s no “special” merge conflict resolution commit “type”

As for fixing the code itself, I usually look at what changed between both versions, and then re-author the code such that both changes make “sense”

You called?

If you use any kind of ad blocker, switch to FireFox

Chrome is deliberately crippling ad block extensions via manifest v3

It haunts me in my dreams

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

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)

I’m so glad i can use Linux on my work PC

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
