I am faster, more comfortable, and more productive in Vim. I use the same keybindings in all my editors and IDEs. It’s okay for people to have different preferences.

I use this on my Galaxy Tab and S23U all the time. It’s really handy to be able to draw a diagram or take down a quick name or number.

As a federated learning researcher, I love to see articles introducing the public to the idea. But this article is really drawing a comparison between the fediverse and federated learning that doesn’t make sense (to me).

Beyond the fact that data and compute are stored on separate servers, they really aren’t similar. Federated learning avoids sharing data by sharing gradients or model updates with a central aggregator; raw data does not leave your device. The fediverse enables easy sharing of data between servers and avoids a central server.

Additionally, this article makes it seem like medical researchers were inspired by the fediverse, but the FedAvg paper was released in 2016—two years before ActivityPub was introduced in 2018.

Based on the data, people are still buying Samsung these days. Samsung consistently is in the top 3 by sales every quarter, and #1 in global smartphone market share goes back and forth between Apple and Samsung.

I’ve got a few smart plugs, TVs, and a bunch of Hue bulbs. It’s surprisingly easy to get to more than 20 devices.

I agree. The System UI has been crashing hard on my S23 Ultra recently due to the One UI 6.0 Beta, which means I can’t open any app or even shutdown—nothing happens. Thankfully, you can force a shutdown by holding Volume Down and Power for 15 seconds.

There should always be a hardware force shutdown option.

I enjoy writing with fountain pens, and I’ve got to justify the numerous pens and inks I have. I also find it helps me with recall and focus. So I take notes by hand most of the time.

Same. I’ve written a fish plugin, but other than that I just fish pretty much stock. It works and just gets out of my way.

Same. I chose programming.dev because it was close to my interests and seemed less likely to be drawn into federation drama. Losing Reddit already made me feel “homeless.” I was worried about choosing a home instance, and then being forced to create a new account all over again because of admins squabbling amongst each other and instance drama.

Can you explain these a little more? I don’t understand what that breaks. Also, shouldn’t the second one be correct if you use a raw string?

This is a quality of life improvement I can get behind!
