"Beauty" wouldn't be my word of choice for these.

Stupid anthropomorphism that only serves to reduce human accountability.

Cytisine. I buy some on Amazon. Works wonders, no cravings but strange dreams.

I had the Air Pod Pro 1 for many years, but unfortunately lost in an airport. I upgraded to the Pro 3, but the pods are shaped differently and now fall out of my ears. I didn't even research ear fit, not thinking this could be a regression.

I think the advice is the same regardless of AI use: read articles written by authors that have a history of high quality writing.

'inferencing' -- is this a real word? Inference is a good noun. Infer is a fine verb. But Inferencing?

clircle — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 14:15:17 +0000

I get that the data science world has moved on to python, but I always felt that R's data.table had the slickest dataframe developer experience. I have toyed with Polars for a few hours, maybe I should give it a better chance.

Thanks, dired-hide-details-mode is particularly neato. I also learned a few things about marking.

My first thought as well. drag-and-drop is also fantastically useful for data you cannot Cut (e.g., moving an email attachment from one draft message to another)

New comment by clircle in "In Emacs, everything looks like a service"

clircle — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 13:57:29 +0000

Emacs users (myself included) would feel less like cramming every aspect of our work into Emacs if more tools embodied the freedom and hackability that comes with using Emacs. It's not that Emacs is better, it's that other tools are more restrictive and not self-documenting.

Is Gentoo an outlier or do all Linux distributions deal with this problem?

New comment by clircle in "Linux gaming is faster because Windows APIs are becoming Linux kernel features"

clircle — Thu, 14 May 2026 15:00:32 +0000

I was gaming on Linux when steam first came out for that platform, but there were too many broken games. Tried again with Proton debute, and more problems. I switched back to Win10 for about 5 years on my gaming machine, but the push to Win11 made me want to try linux again for gaming. I installed Guix and Steam, and I am still just floored at how much progress Linux gaming has made in 5 years. Basically every works, and it feels only imperceptibly slower than gaming on Win10. I'm on AMD card, so ymmv!

I'm about to beat Lies of P :)

New comment by clircle in "I want to live like Costco people"

clircle — Thu, 07 May 2026 20:49:25 +0000

There's nothing appealing about costco to me anymore. Living is suburban DC... The parking lots are packed and dangerous, there's too many people in the store, the produce quality isn't there, and it takes forever to checkout. It doesn't fit my lifestyle anymore, and I'm the perfect candidate for someone that could benefit from going there once in a while.
