Does anyone know if “k&r book examples rewritten in modern c” exist?

Does aria labels add anything to a static page which uses mostly standard html?

Im thinking of extracting review part of my site to a dedicated section. I love sections.

But this poses the biggest question of them all: naming. „Reviews” sound boring. „Fun” sounds cool, but everything I write about is fun - emacs is fun, bsds are fun. Heck, even drawing graph of stats is fun for me! It would be a sad life to have a hobby that is not fun.

But how do I put anime, old sf, fantasy and technical book under one name?

Post-hoc explanations based on personal interactions with processes that are substantially random will generally be incorrect. The observed patterns will be random, not systemic

IOW, everything written about LLMs from the perspective of a single practitioner can be dismissed out of hand. The nature of LLMs makes it impossible to distinguish signal from noise in your own practice

I suggest not even reading these posts. Our brains are unfortunately wired to mistake confident writing for evidence

@baldur Do we have a rough estimation on how much power they actually use yet?

@baldur I've read somewhere (random comment) that it's to be significantly lower than crypto.

Which sites/articles/tutorials/books/talks do you consider essential for #emacs folks? Both, new (dozens of us) and experienced.

This is absolutely a spec issue. As in there is none. Programmatic discovery and manipulation of selection ranges inside shadow roots is simply undefined, which is why we now have three different behaviours

Until there’s a genuine consensus on what is supposed to happen, the only sensible thing is to avoid shipping anything that requires text selection (i.e. any form of text editing or highlighting) in a shadow root.

@baldur I love how it’s always „backwards safaris fault” and not „chrome doing whatever the fuck the want fault”

Being a webmaster in 2024:

  • 1% marketing
  • 9% writing
  • 20% coding
  • 70% thinking how to structure the page

All for site that almost no one reads :-)

@yeti it is!

I find it much more energizing when I receive a single email than a dozen „likes”.

I love this website so freaking much - http://cyber.dabamos.de/. Thanks for the link @jlsksr

It seems to be following similar structure as mine (blog AND evergreen pages), but having the index be, well, index is great. Guess I’ll have to rewrite mine or be just links to sections.

Luckily, Hugo makes it very easy :-)

#Reddit is useless and with it most of the web on mobile.

I'm curious about Xerox 1980s office workstations like the Star and their document centric systems. And besides I'm a sucker for that black and white aesthetics, so I'm checking out the Dwarf Mesa emulator.

Here the ViewPoint 2.0.5 desktop environment is running in Dwarf under Crostini Linux on my Chromebox. The system is really intuitive and capable, even by today's standards.

Are there any prebuilt PCs of the same size as Mac mini studio? All I can find are much smaller machines. A desktop amd cpu is what’s I’m looking for.

"The Lavender software analyzes information collected on most of the 2.3 million residents of the Gaza Strip through a system of mass surveillance, then assesses and ranks the likelihood that each particular person is active in the military wing of Hamas or PIJ. According to sources, the machine gives almost every single person in Gaza a rating from 1 to 100, expressing how likely it is that they are a militant. "

I’m so glad the xz drama unfolded now. Since I am learning C, I have a vague undertanding what’s going on :-)

You know what is also cool about #trains? Their longevity! This is PKP SM42, designed in the 60s, this one probably built in the 70s-80s, and after modernization, it's still working. What car built in the 70s would still do its job today?

@stfn quite a lot. Not by companies (they replaced them), it by farmers for example.

@stfn and shitload of tractors. In Gdów, just outside of Wieliczka there even is an active used parts store :-)
