I have a subscription for Private Internet Access that I was using before subscribing to Proton Mail (which comes with Proton VPN). I figured it was all the same (they all have a slightly skeezy feel to me).
Then I checked out Mullvadās website and itās really quite awesome. Everything about their service has a āwe want to make this accessible to everyoneā vibe, which I appreciate. I am going to try it out. <3
That is a good rule. The GPU programmers seem to think this is good code and that itās well-documented. I am still pretty out of my depth in this field, but it feels so silly to me. There is this historical bullshit about fortran only allowing 5 characters for a function name, and that (combined with some appeal to domain-specific knowledge) is used to justify stupid, freshman level shit like
if uplo == 'U':
# manually fill in this part with the version of the algorithm that is for upper triangular matrices
else: # just assume it's always U or L without checking, god forbid you use something modern like an enum, or even just a boolean
# manually fill in this part with the version of the algorithm that is for lower triangular matrices
edit: if memory serves, booleans were first discovered in 2011 by John T. Boole, which is why they donāt show up in fortran
Iām sorry
me too, also i lied/forgot to mention that my particular PhD situation is so fucked up that i went from pure mathematics to cuda
Both of these suggestions are very nice, thank you!
Thanks for the suggestions! VPN is mostly to tell my ISP to fuck off. Tuta sounds cool but I am worried about it enshittifying as well. I am relieved to hear that switching from Proton was easy.
also, how are you liking bitwarden?
I am happy with it. That they only charge $10 a year for services I donāt even need (I could use a separate 2FA app) and allow you to self-host is a good sign. I plan to eventually set up a workflow in Sway (Wayland tiling WM) with a CLI tool (e.g. https://crates.io/crates/rbw, or the official one), so the interface is not terribly important to me. I would definitely recommend trying a free account to see if it fits into your workflow.
itās gotten so bad that Iāve started pondering writing my own, because good god does basically every option out there depress me
I am in the same boat, except all of the software Iāve ever written has been TeX, or giving contrived examples to undergrads to demonstrate why dp[i][j] is a shit table name or why ā is better than float('inf') or MAX_INT in pseudocode. So I am only theoretically up to the task, which is ā¦ IDK maybe I should start grifting?
But for real, I have considered writing my own:
/home/${USERNAME}/.config/sway/config.d/90-fuckyou-this-is-where-we-keep-system-suspend-shit.conf every time I want to change something. āOh no you gotta edit the Kanshi config for that one.ā Itās tedious to remember where various programs look for the config and whatever particular syntax is chosen (isnāt this fucking solved with toml files already?)PS: There is Goldwarden which I know absolutely nothing about but looks neat. It does suggest that you could just write your own that is bitwarden compatible.
somewhat racist
Yāall, with Proton enshittifying (scribe and wallet nonsense), I think I am never going to sign up for another all-in-one service like this. Now I gotta determine what to do about:
and Iād be forced to reassess my password manager if hadnāt already been using BitWarden when Proton Pass came out.
Self-hosting is a non-starter (too lazy to remember a new password for my luggage). Any thoughts? Are other Proton users here jumping ship? Should I just resign myself to using Proton until they eventually force some stupid ass āChatbot will look at the contents of your Drive and tell you which authorities to surrender yourself toā?
i once had a coiner demand in outrage that i prooove my claim that bitcoin was started by libertarians.
who the fuck else would start it?
mine showed up in spam š¤£
I think you would need to deliberately choose a mathematical problem to solve, otherwise the most difficult thing youāll come across will be binary representations of numbers and why floats are FUCKING BULLSHIT (seriously though they can be tricky if you think they are just ānumbers in a calculatorā).
If you want to really understand programming language theory, or computer science more generally, you will definitely need mathematics. But if the goal is āI want to tell this chip what to do,ā you donāt need to learn a lot of math, in my opinion.
Edit: also, if you need help with any math, feel free to DM me. I am a former math teacher and sometimes teach algorithms (basically screaming āwhat is your induction variableā) at the undergraduate level.
But even if we assume that this is the case, and even if there are a lot of people that simply donāt try [to learn new technology]ā¦should companies really take advantage of them?
DISGUSTING POLITICAL IDEOLOGY
this is the best idea on the internet, actually
someone who thinks āthe buck stops here => nothing is true; all is permittedā probably wonāt get much out of āhere are all the places ive found shit where neurons should beā so idk
why does that spelling make my skin crawl
itās because he has shit for brains
This kind of bullshit would classify you as Harry Potter if you drew a lightning bolt on your face.
I run GrapheneOS on my Pixel and I am pretty happy with it. Also, check out OpenBubbles (fork of an app called BlueBubbles) if you have a Mac that you can extract the hardware ID from. I use it to get my iPhone friends to stop complaining (itās an American thing I think) and itās good enough the vast majority of the time.
Reactions still come through as
shitheel reacted š to āhi everyoneā
though
Iāve tried screaming āstop overfilling my hboxesā when compiling my TeX document, but it isnāt working! Am I prompting it wrong?
Yeah I stopped using it after switching to Proton.
