Impressive. Someone should do jq-jit too. I briefly looked into it and it seems like it would be _a lot_ of effort :/

Long time Android user, switched to iPhone when I broke the screen of my Google-gifted Nexus 3a. Final straw was the latest update. Every widget became bigger, with a border radius taking way too much space on the screen. Some widgets (e.g.: calendar) had part of the text hidden by the round edges. On top of that, I had a black-ish/brown-ish background and after the update all the UI was brown.

I honestly don't know what Google designers/engineers get paid to do if they can't even QA the software of one of their main devices.

I don't like Apple but I'm way happier now. Main complaint is the stupid photo/file separation. Just give me a normal filesystem please.

If capitalism causes censorship, that doesn't mean it's necessarily the worst at causing censorship.

Additionally, we don't live in a stationary society, so, whatever capitalism did or did not cause in the past might not apply as-is today.

I did some research on PII being harvested by Android apps.

TL;DR: The EU could pay a couple of reverse engineers for 2 months and print money out of fines.

I was shocked to discover that (back then?) apps could just straight up read the list of user accounts on the phone without any special permission... Which is mostly fine, except many apps use your email/phone-number as account name or description. Same goes for Wi-Fi SSID and other things.

Tbh Unix programs don't handle non-ASCII text very well, in my experience.

You can do a lot with just bash + pipes + unix tools. It can get messy as your pipeline grows though, and there are a lot of edge cases.

Relevant: "bashML: Why Spark when you can Bash?" (https://rev.ng/blog/bashml/post.html), aka how to deduplicate git repositories using `comm` + `awk`.

I most certainly didn't imply that (:

But you did say it was illegal. Seems to me there are exceptions if that picture is to be trusted.e

Take notes on the main concepts / highlights, then make anki cards (: (I know it's easier said than done)

A lot of adblocking works at the DOM level.

Get ready for canvas-only websites with wasm. Good luck adblocking.

Just FYI: draw.io uses SVG foreignObjects for styling the text in the diagrams. That means that to get a proper rendering of the resulting SVG you need to look at it in a browser. If not, it has a fallback text element, but you lose the styling. I lost many hours due to this :/ other than that, I like it a lot

I see that kind of advice thrown around a lot, but that's just the sales pitch of PhDs, not the reality.

Guilty too. I had this idea to improve the order in which I should study kanjis. Ended up with a neo4j instance with kanjis, kanji components (not just radicals), words, and how they are combined.

Now I'm still using the same algorithm, but I do everything manually. It takes time but I found that the flashcard customization aspect makes the memorization easier.
