This was why, despite quite a few of us enjoying the gag, we gave up the domain `libcore.so` at CoreOS many, many years ago. Too much of a supply chain risk.

What is this providing over similarly Markdown based open source note taking applications like Joplin? (https://joplinapp.org/)

I've been a huge fan of the fact that my backend sync infrastructure is my own self-hosted S3 bucket with local clients handling the presentation layer.

> Dopamine neurons respond not to rewards received but to the uncertainty of whether a reward will arrive: the more unpredictable the outcome, the stronger the signal.

This leads me to think about the idea of procrastination as a mechanism of gambling by the sub-conscious. A subversive way of "raising the stakes on the game" in an attempt to "make things a little bit more interesting."

I've noticed that a number of comments seem to have missed the recursive naming pattern:

    Dav1d AV1 Decoder
    Dav2d AV2 Decoder
Just like "GNU's Not Unix"

I would frame this completely differently: plants evolved around sensing the low level vibration created by rain as a signaling technique for the timing of sprouting.

:shrug: Makes sense to me and doesn't try to turn this into some baffling mystery.

I watched the video of the cow picking up the brush with it's tongue an immediately thought "cow tools" (which they reference in the article almost immediately after showing the video).

I recently investigated the feasibility of purchasing a home again, and the data confirmed why I am staying put. My current rent for a 2BR house in Los Angeles is ~$5,500/mo. I analyzed 2+BR/1.5BA properties in my neighborhood on [Site Name] and used Gemini OCR to extract the following statistics for active listings:

   - Range              $8.85 Million ($0.65M to $9.50M)
   - Mean (Average)     $2.425 Million (Sum of $92.16M / 38 properties)
   - Median (Middle)    $2.04 Million
   - Mode (Most Common) $2.50 Million (appears 3 times)
I performed the same analysis for houses sold in the last three months within the same map area, with the following results:

   - Range              $1.155 Million ($0.725M to $1.88M)
   - Mean (Average)     $1.236 Million (Sum of $28.433M / 23 properties)
   - Median (Middle).   $1.25 Million 
   - Mode (Most Common) $1.10 Million (Appears 3 times)
The data confirms the disconnect: the only properties actually moving are those priced near the "least unaffordable" floor. Meanwhile, the bulk of the market is sitting stagnant because sellers are holding out for prices that, at current interest rates, make zero financial sense for a buyer compared to renting.

This was an interesting read. Also, Compact frames DEI as elite cultural manipulation that harms workers of all races by substituting identity politics for class solidarity.

I noticed "International patent (PCT/KR2025/099177), International Publication "

Are you truly seeking a software patent for this? If so what is the plan for leveraging ownership over the patent?

No, it's one company == one vote. There's a similar situation with IBM & Red Hat. Since IBM owns Red Hat, Red Hatters (like myself) may participate in meetings but where individuals from both companies are present "there can be only one."
