> Readability is a property of the reader, not the language.

Similarly, the inability of a person to write machine code directly is a property of the person, not the hardware. Yet some of these people admit their limitations and use K.

Chinese has a readability issue to the English speaker. That doesn't mean it's not readable.

Yeah, that and sometimes the WSL session takes forever to boot up (a good 10+ seconds for the first time, for me).

Once it's working it's fantastic. I don't know what it is with MacOS, unless they're subtly animating keypresses or something. Linux is as responsive as Windows is too. It's a wired keyboard so nothing to do with bluetooth.

I think that's the initial boot of the VM. I'v noticed it too.

It makes you wonder why Knuth bothered with an outdated ChatGPT version? He couldn't find someone with access to GPT-4?

I run Nextcloud "locally" too. It's "local" in the sense that it sits on an laptop-turned-server by my desk [0]. Add a domain name, a simple dynamic DNS [1] and a forwarding rule on your router ; your local machine is now reachable from everywhere.

No (useless for that usecase) additional intermediary like Tailscale in the middle. It has the added benefit of allowing you to share everything that is on Nextcloud with people without requiring them to use any VPN/etc.

[0] the fact that it runs an a laptop (with its battery) rather than on a workstation provides a UPS on the cheap

[1] dynamic DNS can be achieved even using cheap providers such as OVH as long as you get your domain name there https://docs.ovh.com/ie/en/domains/hosting_dynhost/

I wouldnt call Tailscale "useless" in that case. If you use Tailscale there, you dont have to port forward, so you have no exposure to the general internet. No one bashing on your port, looking for vulnerabilities. You don't need a DDNS, since Tailscale gives you a fixed address for your machine that persists. So you can set a single CNAME record with your Domain hosting service and you're done. And Tailscale has clients for all platforms, including mobile, so it "just works" with all your devices. It's free for up to 20 devices.

> A train can go hundreds of miles per hour faster than a Tesla sports car. But which is quicker off the mark?

Top speed of most trains is below that of a Tesla let alone super cars. The trains that can go significantly faster (but not really hundreds of miles per hour faster - Maglevs - are capable of similar acceleration). This analogy is not the greatest for the point being conveyed.

camdv · 3 years ago
I think the point here is that trains go for hundreds of miles faster than a Tesla. If you're going 800 miles, a train might well get there first, though a Tesla's top speed is 4x the trains.

Sounds silly, but do you have the source code for your table tennis game? If not, do you remember the logic you used? Was it using Graphpak? I am curious as to how one would write a table tennis game without any conditionals.
camdv · 3 years ago
APL can branch on conditional to a specific line or label, or fall through to the next line.

rcarmo · 3 years ago
https://github.com/piku, for sure. I was getting tired of deploying stuff manually or juggling containers for the simplest of apps, so I sat down and wrote most of it in a couple of weekends.

I now deploy the vast majority of my personal projects with it (including container-based ones, actually).

camdv commented on People are demanding that Cloudflare drop Kiwi Farms   vice.com/en/article/z3434... · Posted by u/lladnar

FTA:

> People on Twitter, as well as Sorrenti, claimed that the official Cloudflare account hid replies on its tweets related to dropping Kiwi Farms, and then deleted tweets that were ratioed by people talking about the campaign. Cloudflare’s Twitter account normally posted at least daily before this week, but hasn’t tweeted in four days, as of writing.

What is the meaning of “ratioed” in this sentence?

camdv · 4 years ago
From Know Your Meme: The Ratio or Ratioed refers to an unofficial Twitter law which states that if the amount of replies to a tweet greatly outnumbers the number of retweets and likes, then the tweet is bad. Additionally, "to ratio" a tweet means to make a quote retweet or reply that manages to get more likes and retweets than the quoted post.
