  • Our current ML Neural Networks work (simplified) like this: A neuron emits a number and the next neuron calculates a new number to emit based on all the values given to it by other neurons as inputs. Our brain can’t fire numbers in this way. So there’s a fundamental difference. Bridging this difference to create NNs that are more similar to our brains is the basis of the study of Spiking Neural Networks. Their performance so far isn’t great, but it’s an interesting topic of research.


  • I dont see why, tbh. This feature is only needed by users of tiling WMs with (super)ultrawide monitors. A niche in a niche. Normal floating WMs work fine with ultrawide monitors, you are constantly resizing and moving windows around anyway and simple snapping takes care of the rest. Windows 11 even lets you snap exactly into the setup described above.

    Also, there are good plugins for supporting tiling for GNOME (I know its in PopOS, not sure how to get it into the normal one) , KDE, and even Windows


  • One thing that has been stopping me from switching to Wayland is that I have a 32:9 screen and usually virtually divide into a 16:9 in the middle and then an 8:9 on each side. This works well enough on Xorg.

    I would love to see this implemented in Hyprland and I opened an issue for it a while back. The maintainer says that the workload seems too large and he is uninterested. I’ve racked up quite a few upvotes though and it seems like quite a lot of people would be interested in this.

    I’ve glanced over the code and I think it shouldn’t be extremely difficult to add a layer of indirection between workspaces and monitors as an initial PoC. Dont get me wrong, this will still take more than a week to get running which is why I sadly havent found the time to do this myself.

    If you could maybe look into it there may be possibilities to split up the work a bit. I dream of a world where you can dynamically add and remove virtual outputs and it’s all animated - very long way to go until then.




  • I feel like there are too many exceptions to this rule. Maybe dont get the cheapest but you dont need to spend a lot to have a very good:

    • Cast iron pan
    • Carbon steel pan
    • Enameled cast iron pot (seriously, look it up, I see people saying how much they love their Le Creuset all the time but I got one from KitchenAid of all brands at 50 euros in my local supermarket)
    • Baking tray
    • Cooling rack
    • Baking bowls
    • Spatula of any kind
    • Peeler
    • Electric mixer
    • Kitchen scale

    I could go on but I believe Ive made my point.

    What’s interesting is that this problem is largely solved for C and C++: Linux distributions like Debian package such a wide range of libraries that for many things that you want to develop or install, you don’t need any third-party libraries at all.

    This person has made some very different experiences to myself. How does C++ handle versioning? How do you compare versions across distros or even OSs? How do you control which features are included? How do you make sure your chosen build tools finds these files?

    Projects like conan try to do what crates.io does for Rust and it’s not the greatest experience. The other direction is something like Buck2 that puts the whole dependency in your project so you can have hermetic builds.

    I have no idea how any of this can be seen as an advantage in a development workflow.


  • I personally wasn’t doing any content creation beforehand so I only started with the Affinity products.

    For me, I find it easy enough to use, even as a beginner. If I can’t find out how to do something even after googling for “How to do x in Affinity” I can just Google for how to do it in the Adobe version and usually it’s really easy to find the corresponding tool in Affinity.

    If you’re a pro you probably have very specific demands for your creation programs which may mean that you need to stick with Adobe. But if you aren’t aware of any demands you have, Affinity fits the bill easily.

    I’ll try to remember to check them out closer to the day

    You could also get the trial version for a month for testing it out





  • I’m actually having similar issues. Seemingly at random, my PC will freeze up due to lack of memory and killing Firefox fixes it. Im also sure it must be an extension causing it.

    Here are my extensions, let me know which of these you are using and maybe we can narrow it down from that:

    • Neat URL
    • uBlock Origin
    • Return YouTube Dislikes
    • Firefox Multi-Account Containers
    • SponsorBlock
    • Vimium
    • Decentraleyes
    • Enhancer for YouTube
    • Privacy Possum
    • I don’t care about cookies
    • First Party Isolation
