BitTorrent has partial seeding. So if someone extends a torrent with some files, the original one can still be used for seeding.

Another reason for the last bit being the slowest is because populars chunks are downloaded first.

Meh, it’s what you get when you write a language in a different language’s “style”.

This, but unironically used as a marketing trick:

There was no v1 of Oracle Database, as co-founder Larry Ellison “knew no one would want to buy version 1”

That’s why the first Oracle database is v2.

Survival need for species can be vastly different to that of individuals, like mantis’ sexual cannibalism.

If I can pull myself up, I’ll just have the pie in the sky.

Static websites can be beautiful and easy to use without being complex.

PG’s blog and HN can definitely use some CSS tweaks. I can’t remember how many times I clicked the wrong thing in HN.

On the other hand, it’s easy to get reader mode/custom CSS/alt frontend working for such websites, so maybe it’s alright after all.

The original “agile” is a reaction to the overly rigid planning and emphasizes worker self-management. It makes sense since the people who are closest to the work (the workers) know best how to plan and implement the work.

It immediately breaks down when a specialized management tier emerges and tries to push their own agenda, i.e. to sell themselves rather than do something meaningful.

At this point, whichever form is used doesn’t matter. The management, endowed with the power from above, will exploit the weakness of any agile-shmagile methodology to push their own agenda.

There’s indeed a cake called Napoleon, which is not invented by Napoleon. I know at least in Russia and China, this cake is known by the name of Napoleon cake.

Legend has it that the name originates from the Napoleonic war with Russia and since people have to throw the cake to the ground (table?) to break the sugar layer on top of it and thus the Russian people call it Napoleon so that they are breaking Napoleon.

I see no mention of this etymology elsewhere, so take this with a grain of salt.

See the meme. Try the meme. Become the meme.

according to McKinsey. “And for those Gen Zers who decide that driving just isn’t for them, they can keep themselves busy with TikTok in the passenger seat—or get behind the wheel in the metaverse.”

Be a good consumer and accept our thought control.

What’s “inside” about this report? None of the people inside responded to interview requests and the only development (McCarthy resigned) is from a public source.

Meh, it’s bold of them to assume the government will still stand by 2044 at this rate.

Our results indicate that if the return-to-office transition is not handled with a high level of humanity, sensitivity, and empathy, workplace culture suffers, and the workforce’s sense of belonging plummets.

Right, because the “transition” is a mandate from god and there’s simply no other way to work, like remotely, from home, oh wait…

It’s not presented as a loop and there’s no wife panel after the fourth one 🤔

Somewhat related. Since discussions about working conditions are heavily censored in China, people have recently started to use Palworld contents as a disguise/satire/substitute for it. For example, see this game media’s video if you know Chinese. Compared to the first world “controversies” around PETA, third world people are more acutely aware of the parallelism between Pals/Mons and their own conditions and thus people “just understand” the underlying problem rather than argue about what it is and what it isn’t on the surface level.

I don’t think people have thought through what would happen in an all-out war between two nuclear powers.

As other comments point out, they are usually not properly packaged through nix.

If you read the , for most plugins, the derivation just downloads the plugin, puts it to nix-store, and makes it available to the editor through environment variables. So it’s similar to the binary distributed software. Two most notable restrictions:

  1. Nix is not aware of transient dependencies.
  2. The plugin is not aware of the nix-store model.

So for plugins that don’t have external dependencies (or dependencies other than the “common” ones like python or sh that happen to be available), and that don’t interact with the filesystems, this approach would be fine, but the more complex ones would fail.

In your example, mason failed because of 1, home-manager wasn’t aware that the pip module is a transient dependency of this plugin; and treesitter failed because of 2, because it doesn’t know that nix-store is read-only and should be managed by nix.

There are no general solutions, but people may have nixified some plugins on a case-by-case basis. If you don’t want to spend a lot of time (and remember that it might be broken by the next plugin upgrade), as others have suggested, take the traditional plugin management approach. (Personally, I use LunarVim which uses Lazy.nvim and it’s been working fine.)

This is surprisingly similar to a trick in some Total War titles. If you have decided that a faction is going to bust in the next turn, you can ask them to pay you a huge amount of money and repay them with high interest in say 10 turns. And if they’re actually busted, that’s free money.

But then you yourself have to be in Boat mode to browse it.

Phoenix3875,

Now all of China care about your privacy.

IIRC, this also featured in the Ken Burns Civil War documentary. Highly recommended.

It’s a good idea to not have kids with your siblings.
