I've found I just loan time from tomorrow's morning if I stay up late working on something. If you're in a good flow, it could be worth it. Other than that, you're likely to be underwater on the loan.

It seems like they have a good number of routes and do route deviation within 3/4 of a mile of the bus stop.

You should chill for a few years and really consider the meaning of your money.

Between using Bing and now OpenAI, is DuckDuckGo just a middle man for using Microsoft products? I wish they would use their capital and resources to build a novel product. It seems their main selling point is they have my payment information instead of Microsoft.

If they are that competent then it implies they let October 7th and September 11th happen. My know-nothing take is that given the funds, lack of morals, and government support they can pull off some actions that benefit them, but let’s not act like it is more than it is.

I think the Greeks through Anaximander had the concept of "apeiron", or the infinite. Some of them believed the universe to be infinitely old, therefore they must have had the concept of one to infinity, including billions.

I've been building my own window manager. I still need to finish a few things like a status bar/floating window system.

Also HAProxy, they both use UNIX sockets via ancillary messages+SCM_RIGHTS I believe.

I've been working on something similar in a load balancer I've been writing in Rust. It's still a work in progress.

Basically the parent executes the new binary after it receives a USR1 signal. Once the child is healthy it kills the parent via SIGTERM. The listener socket file descriptor is passed over an environment variable.

I don't find the argument about kill convincing. You can use `kill pid` and it will send a SIGTERM signal to the process. The -9 option is only necessary when you want to send a SIGKILL signal. I don't think it is a bad thing that kill gives users the option to choose which signal to send. I only use the -9 option when I want to terminate a process without it being handled.

The ur-problem is probably a reference to Goethe. In German 'ur' is a prefix that means primeval/original/ancient. So an ur-problem of governance is the original problem of governance.

I tried it on the PinePhone, it's almost completely unusable.

1. The keyboard just won't open ~50% of the time. I had to do all sorts of hacky things to get it to open

2. The web browser Angelfish is no where near fully featured. The one good thing is that it has a built in adblocker.

3. For about a month whenever I restarted the phone it would be completely black. I had to bring it into a dark room and plug it in for me to be able to barely see anything. Then I could raise the brightness. An update fixed this

4. A lot of the apps just don't open

5. All sorts of random bugs/missing features, in the music player, the file explorer, etc.

This isn't a bad thing. It is a work in progress and I hope that it will continue to improve. Ubuntu Touch has worked the best for me.
