@iconwerk Mozilla Insights: brainy or booby?

@neogoose_btw Are the underlying mechanisms like inotify reliable or can you miss updates and have to rescan files occasionally just to be safe?

@MilkRoadAI This implies that AI becomes a utility like electricity and that consumers would spend about that amount on them. I don’t think AI has the same utility as light and heat for the average consumer.

@MindCuriosita @BradMunchen There is no city Hanover in Germany

@kicauipul If you need performance it’s faster to scan a word and look it up in a hash table. Angstrom backtracks and is not fast in such cases.

@voidneco @NearestCommit It’s the new *BSD. You know, the one that was dying in the 90s.

@JacklouisP Yet, both companies perform poorly on the stock market

@flying_boatman I have a 3D-printed mount like that and what broke first was the comb-like structure. So convince yourself that this is indeed durable.

[Christian Lindig @huund]

@flying_boatman The problem is usually on the other end. How to attach a mount to a boat. No good single solution.

@chris_dalke What dashboard is good for showing telemetry data with 1fps or better? Is Grafana made for this?

[Christian Lindig @huund]

@flying_boatman D.I.S.C.O.

@pairshead Page not found? Could you check that results are indeed available at that link?

@weed_plz @Razar_the_Raven Maybe 2x for the Pixel. It’s like Porsche vs Toyota. Both work but some people enjoy how much one is over engineered.
