Does anybody know whether the Daum search engine (Korean) uses an independent index+crawler or uses another engine's API? Been trying to figure out and the language barrier is making it hard for me to find answers...

@alexandra 16MB _should_ have been enough for everybody. I'm dead serious :D!

Reduce, reuse, recycle.

But:

- In order to reduce, there need to be proper infrastructure to compensate for the thing being reduced;
- In order to reuse, things need to be durable and easily maintainable, modularly upgradable and repairable;
- If you go to the recycle step ignoring the first two, you've already lost.

As we see, just "changing consumer habits" doesn't work.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

`git log -S some_variable_name` returns all commits where `some_variable_name` is in the diff (either removed, added, or modified)

super useful for tracking down regressions where you know the variable that's the culprit

Do I know any one with experience with alpine/pmos or arch/manjaro packaging, and has some free time to spare a couple of free software projects? I want to package some mobile python apps for #pmos and #manjaro but I rather not learn yet another packaging format beside deb/rpm/setuptools which I am allready managing 😅.

Praise Dobbs for f3(1) "fight fraudulent flash".

I purchased 2TB flash drives, ran "f3probe -n -t /dev/sdX" on them, only for them to report 29 GB usable.

Last week, Devine gave a talk to my low carbon computing research group, it was really interesting!

"Salt water computers"

Here are the recording and transcript:

@cwebber @acousticmirror @hugoestr @IngaLovinde David Chisnall posits that modern CPUs are basically accelerators for C so why not add some alternatives?

Language selection is now available in the Mastodon web app. Make sure your posts are seen by people who understand them!

Supports quickly finding the right language with fuzzy search and remembers your most frequently selected languages.

How do you design a CPU for functional languages like Haskell?

Use a stackmachine where the function referenced by each head is popped with a given number of arguments copying the referenced function body into its place on the stack with argument references replaced & relative references resolved.

Opcodes are added for arithmatic, with ints shuffling the stack to ensure they're fully resolved before the arithmatic.

This has been prototyped on FPGAs!

Hey Fedi, do you know if there is a federated (perhaps even #ActivityPub-powered) cooking recipe hosting service? If not, let's 👏 make 👏 this 👏 happen!

I hate modern recipe websites. All of them are full with ads and tracking. The leading recipe hosting in my country loads over 30 different trackers, and that's excluding the ads!

@logan If you want to know more about AI safety, I'd highly recommend the series Computerphile did on the subject:

There's a bunch more in the series, and also on Rob Miles channel.
