  • German state gov. ditching Windows for Linux, 30K workers migrating

  • found this update from 1 month ago:

    what the actual amount of progress is seems to be buried under bureaucracy-speak but I got 3 useful sentences out of it so far:

    Configuration via group policies

    MS Office can remain installed in parallel, until October 2025

    Goals for october 2025: LibreOffice should be the sole standard office software on around 70% of the state administration's IT workstations

    so to me it seems they're currently slowly doing a MS office -> LibreOffice transfer, but they're still all using windows (as the use of "group policy" implies)

  • you can also 'trivially' derive the quadratic formula using completing the square, but does anybody actually do that instead of just memorizing the formula?

  • Netscape tried that, turns out it was a bad idea

  • Seating Posture

    Jump

  • get a motorized height adjustable standing desk, an egg timer and a slow treadmill, set the timer to 16 minutes and 43 seconds, every time the timer runs out, rotate between standing position, sitting position and walking position while resetting the timer.

    When you're ready to level up, upgrade from just an office chair for the sitting positon to a mixture of office chair, saddle chair, prayer mat and stout 19th century four-legged wooden stool certified handmade in the russian far east. Rotation as follows:

    standing -> office chair -> treadmill -> saddle chair -> standing -> prayer mat -> treadmill -> flat stool -> repeat.

    When you're ready for the endgame, upgrade from an egg timer to a stochastic bell timer powered by a brass cyclograph. This eliminates any possible linear relationship with your BRAC cycle, ensuring a well-rounded dynamic stress regimen.

  • STOP DOING COMPUTER SCIENCE

    Jump

  • they said optimize CPU usage, not reduce CPU usage. clearly they actually want to increase CPU utilization in this mysterious "0.02%" situation in order to get the results faster

  • Maybe not in single player, but if you try putting more than a few dozen players on one vanilla server, the performance is going down the drain

  • Leases would show as zero on the balance sheet if the government owned their own buildings. But of course someone decided that was "against the free market" so now the government cannot own anything in the name of "efficiency"

  • LDAC

    Jump

  • at high signal strength LDAC should default to 990kbps.. which is kind of ridiculous since it's so high it's higher than some lossless codecs, like uncompressed 16-bit 48kHz. (which is higher than standard CD quality)

  • well sure, epistemology says we can never be absolutely certain of almost anything. But the alternative to ideas is.. what exactly?
