Yep. Cat, find, git, date, gimp, gnu. All very distinctive, easy to search for


Can you comment more on your VM setup? Can it utilize the GPU properly? Any performance or compatibility issues with running windows in a VM? Etc.


It is maybe 95% of native performance or in that ballpark, according to benchmarks I've seen.

I have a dedicated M2 disk that I pass thru fully to the Windows VM in order to have snappy disk, and I reserved 64 GB ram to that VM alone using hugepages (because I multibox a old game that requires lots of RAM for my use case).

I also pass thru the bluetooth hardware into the VM as I don't use bluetooth on my host, so that I can use my dualsense controller while gaming in the VM.


I don't disagree with the overall comment but this bit seems like extreme hyperbole:

> If you're a regular at a bar or restaurant, you pay an order of magnitude over $1000 a year for THAT service. This one is probably worth more.

An order of magnitude over 1k per year is almost $30 per day, every day.


It’s missing commas; it should say “an order of magnitude [more], over $1000 a year, for…”


Hyperbole for some but hypobole for others I am sure


I see a lot of people saying Google services don't work well on other browsers. Can someone give an example? I've been using Firefox desktop and mobile for a year and haven't had any issues with Google stuff. At least YouTube, drive, docs, sheets, etc. seem to work just fine


In google docs if you highlight some text and right click there are options for copy and paste. If you click them in chrome it works fine, if you click them in Firefox it says:

"These actions are unavailable using the Edit menus, but you can still use: Ctrl+C - for copy, Ctrl+X - for cut, Ctrl+V - for paste"

So for some reason some functions are just not present in other browsers. I can guarantee they could implement these functions if they wanted to.


Oh I didn't even clock that that was a Firefox thing.

Could it be due to Firefox not supporting the clipboard APIs until quite recently?

Have you tried using Google Meet on Safari? You can’t use filters, blur the background, and basically all other features besides basic video and audio.


I have random loading issues when I try to play something on the YouTube shorts page. The audio would play but not the video. Refreshing the page sometimes fixed this


Kagi has the same syntax as well, this is just new syntactic sugar


"just syntactic sugar" is the whole point of computers. Make drudgery and toil easier. @r is a lot easier than site:old.reddit.com or whatever. :-)


Pretty easy to calculate how many distinct shuffles considering only the numbers: 52!/(4!^13)=~9.2e49. Still monstrously big


> There are very real use cases for box plots,

The author argues otherwise, can you give an example of a use case where box plots would be preferable to the alternatives the author suggests?


> There are very real use cases for box plots,

> The author argues otherwise

No, in the article he says he wouldn't recommend them _in most_ situations. It's a part that a lot of people here seemed to have missed whether arguing for or against box plots.

>Despite making more visual sense than box plots, I still wouldn’t recommend these design concepts or box plots in most situations because…

(Emphasis mine)


From the article:

„So, no, I can’t think of any situations when a box plot would be the truly best choice, other than those in which the audience demands box plots because that’s what they’re used to seeing. If you can think of any such situations, though, please let me know on LinkedIn or Twitter.“

„Other reviewers suggested that the conclusion should be that box plots are a useful chart type, but only for statistically savvy audiences. Again, I’m going a step further, suggesting that even those audiences would be better served by other chart types in virtually all situations.“


Comparing location, spread and skew of multiple batches.


Often people are interested in exact quantitative statistics like IQR, median, top/bottom deciles which are commonly represented in box plots. The alternatives are visually simpler but they contain less quantitative information.


If you want quantititive information it's better to use a table anyway - precisely because it doesn't mislead you about the internal distribution.


The alternative plots in TFA after

> Design concepts such as the ones below make more ‘visual sense’ than box plots:

present the exact same info in much less visually confusing ways, through the use of brightness (weight) and area. Just better box plots.

And of course you can always draw some lines for the quartiles on any kind of plot with a linear scale for the value.



This is really fun, wonder how many different dominos you could introduce and still be able to generate puzzles with a single solution


Well in this case you weren't wrong about the first 10^10 numbers:
