Yup. Most European countries barely use stop signs as opposed to the US.

I beg to disagree. It’s a law of nature to assign index 0 to the 1^st th… Wait a moment

How is your favourite language one that indexes arrays from 1??? You monster!

Wait until it learns that lanes can be turned into dedicated tram corridors.

Try it with Intel integrated graphics, sucker

Some people have torrents across various directories or even renamed files in them (yes, it’s possible and useful for crossseeding between trackers with different naming schemes). Of course, this makes migration way more difficult.

Is there an audio version other than TTS? I know Ed does podcasts but the newsletter isn’t one of them.

I hate how English overuses personal pronouns.

“Know your ABCs?”

Nyet. I refuse to take ownership of the modern Latin alphabet, which is used by billions of English speakers worldwide and with minor variations by over a hundred more languages. An ordering of its letters is a common good by and for the public domain. Its entire point is being standard so it would lose all value if there was “ABCs” of mine, yours or any other single person rather than “the ABCs”.

Also the required diacritics use the number row on Czech keyboards so you need a numpad or type numbers with Shift.

Even after they stopped producing phones, they could have made a killing licensing the patent to phone case manufacturers.

The article is absolute trash for not mentioning this. “Their iconic keyboards…” is the closest it gets to describing them.

Thankfully, there is a link to the patent at the end.

Abstract

A keyboard comprising a plurality of transparent keys. In use, the keyboard is attached to a device such as a mobile device, to overlie a display screen of the device. One or more images displayed on the display screen are made visible to a user through the keys, which may be pressed by a user. User input is determined by identifying a pressed key, and the image or part thereof visible through the key when pressed.

Basically a detachable keyboard of transparent material as a display overlay, providing tactile feedback while the LCD allows for backlit and customizable key labels. I don’t remember seeing a practical implementation of this IRL or in media but I might be too young for that.

I thought that the subscription money was what would keep them afloat for longer

Idk how hard it is to make a browser addon but a website userscript won’t be enough, those don’t have access to the filesystem obviously.

How are you expecting to get 10 years of experience for your entry-level job by age 20? You need that to succeed in the job market, and let me guess, you also wasted so much potential by passing up on that opportunity of being born to Linus Torvalds.

DuckDuckGo doesn’t track your activity so they only target ads based on your current query and technical details. They determined it would take 30 years to compile Gentoo on your rig so 40+ is a good guess for your age.

What? You can specify a torrent download location over the web UI. Do you want an interactive picker?

VLC will happily play a file with a wrong or no extension but the OS needs to know it should open it with VLC. I think DVD-Video predates the MP4 container.

Still no audio. True Linux experience.

I’m not an expert, how many Raspberry Pi 4s does this translate to?

Your client must have downloaded entire chunks, including parts of adjacent files to those you wanted. I think most clients will discard them but it’s possible they are stored somewhere hidden to enable seeding them again. Pretty much every client will tell you something like “66 chunks (have 11)” and/or progress on a per-file basis, from which you can deduce which of these behaviors is used. Badly written ones will make a file as big as the previous episode to the one you want and fill it with zeros so that the few MiB are physically in the right spot. Obviously, that fills your drive with junk unless compression is enabled at filesystem level.

It’s always better to seed something even if it’s not an entire file. Peers are usually upload-bandwidth-limited so being another person providing just a few chunks helps download speeds. Unless you meddle with their progress files, torrent clients will not announce (offer for download) chunks they cannot reassemble. Only people who have 100% of the data are listed as “seeders” in the swarm.
