Btw, this could be a use-case for the umsdos filesystem, which supports Unix-specific features over a regular FAT filesystem. Iirc you could create it in a subdirectory of the FAT disk. However, it was made long ago, in the days of DOS and Windows 9x, and I’m not sure it’s even available anymore, or that it would work over exFAT. Doesn’t seem to be there by default in Mint or in its repository.
It’s on Github and has several PRs.
Ironically, YouTube is one case that’s much better with personalized recommendations. I even open links from social media in incognito tabs so as to not pollute my recommendations accidentally.
Any time I happen to open Youtube’s main page in an incognito tab, it’s filled with complete trash that’s offered to my region by default. It’s not even my usual snobbery talking — the content is like wall-to-wall Jerry Springer Show.
That’s what’s often missing from stories about patents: big companies churn out patents in case they ever need to use them in patent warfare against competitors. For the sole reason that the competitors are doing the same thing.
However, I doubt it that BMW would ever have a chance to use this particular patent on a competitor.
somehow that increased my upload speed?
Network hardware is sensitive to lots of small packets going over many connections — some cheap routers can straight up overheat from that. And especially if your WiFi router doesn’t support full-duplex connection, uploads will compete with downloads over the bandwidth — which includes metadata communication like “hey, how much of that torrent have you got?”
How much memory does an open descriptor really use? If it’s a whole kilobyte, 20000 open files would take 20 MB of memory.
Weird choice of lifestyle to complain about the two fastest scripting languages being ‘fast-ish’. While you complain, the world is using Lua for embedded scripts and game programming, and PHP for the web.
People straight up write libraries in Lua instead of C, because the performance difference is unnoticeable. But apparently it’s only ‘fastish’.
Henry Kuttner’s short-ish story ‘Year Day’ from 1953 predicted how advertising will be in the future that we’re on track to hit. The story was published in the collection appropriately named ‘Ahead of Time’.

That’s noob tier. I’m a blanket junkie for some reason, so I have to compromise in any weather. The blanket could be covering any part of my body, from neck-to-toe to just the legs, to one vertical half, to part of the torso, to just a corner being on me.
I mean, you can also get some taste in your water by drinking tea.
I’m guessing the author didn’t want to mess with a framework every time they post, with different page layouts they might’ve evolved over the years. Though the absence of site-wide navigation is still baffling.
I’m guessing it’s more of a stylistic choice. Lisps typically work the same way, except they can retrieve the full map structure even if some fields contain nil as the value.
Unfortunately, Lua’s approach hinders exchanging structures with null values with other environments: see my comment here.
Nil doesn’t exist as a value in Lua, because a variable or a field that don’t exist or are unassigned are indistinguishable from a nil value, since they all return nil when evaluating. In particular, this leads to the situation that you can’t have a table where some of the fields are assigned nil as the value, because those fields effectively don’t exist.
Idk, PHP chugs on splendidly with arrays that combine both arrays and maps. I regret to say that PHP is considerably faster than some better languages like Python and Ruby, and arrays are the workhorse structure there.
(Like, PHP’s approach to FastCGI is that the script’s runtime is destroyed after every request and then started anew for the next one, and it still outperforms Python’s always-on approach. Of mainstream languages, only Node can compete.)
I just never tried, so amn’t entirely sure.
Iirc I needed a json lib on Windows, or was just fed up with compiling things for some reason, and used dkjson instead of cjson. It turned out to be more than adequate, as is pretty typical for Lua-only code. Although it can use the LPeg lib to speed up parsing.
Scandinavia, Novaya Zemlya, and Taymyr Peninsula went all kinds of askew.
Eh, dkjson implements null as an object with a metatable function that encodes it back as “null”. Hopefully it’s considered equal to itself in comparisons.
Dkjson is fast enough for most scripting purposes. OTOH cjson’s userdata null is supported by some other libraries that deal with data structures.
Of course, there’s a problem then that various libs may have their own nulls, not equal to each other. There’s even a lib that tries to marry some of them.
Except it’s ass if you want to do non-destructive data processing of arbitrary structures and your input and output might have null as a value. You can’t just know about fields a, b, and c of the table and leave everything else as it is, you need to know the whole structure and make sure you write null in the output for fields that have nil in them.
Or, more realistically, use libraries that implement null as custom user data.
Iirc Roberto Ierusalimschy even considered introducing a null value in one of the recent versions, of course confusingly named ‘undefined’ — but changed his mind. Perhaps it’s for the better than to have such a backwards name for it.
To my knowledge, Lisps like Emacs Lisp implement this better: trying to get a value for a nonexistent key will get you nil, but you can still retrieve the list of all keys, including ones that are set to nil.
Btw, if tea is too bitter for you, rooibos might fit better. Plus there are all kinds of herbal ‘teas’, or rather mixtures, that don’t contain tea proper — at least where I live. Although tea itself has barely any bitterness if you use a smaller dose of green tea, or something like white tea.
Of herbal or aromatic teas, you might want to choose those with berries or flowers, since they impart some sweet flavor, but still far from the sweetness of fizzy drinks. A bonus benefit is that there are a lot of different flavors. One should take from life all that it has, after all.
