@qyliss This would fix the number one issue I have with Nixos: The fact that it doesn't actually enforce the separation that it's built on.

@tedu Wow. If this isn't proof that the current architectures are a mess, I don't know what could be.

@waynerad This is plain R code though, and doesn't seem to depend on any other libraries. The code itself seems to be mostly performing some computation on cartesian combinations of the datapoints.

@sir No, and 178.

@sir @kragen Did you at least take a picture of it?

Some people are proud to be able to create such hacks. I have to admit, if I knew how to do it I'd be proud too. But I'd be proud in a similar way as a participant in the obfuscated C code contest can feel proud.

@ColinTheMathmo
If I want to scrape web sites, I use closure-html which is a Common Lisp API that parses HTML and returns an XML DOM object representing the content.

I'm sure three must be something similar in the language you use
@otini

@galaxis Interesting. In Swedish we have the word "härd" which is an older word referring to an open fire cooking area. I think German has an expression “Heim und Herd”, in which Herd is used in a similar way.

The Swedish words for "stove" is "spis" which could be related to German: "Speisen".

@acciomath I'm currently waiting for delivery of the Latitude 7400 that my office is providing me.

Until now, I've been using a Latitude E7470 (which, despite the higher number is an older model) which I have been very happy with.

As long as you're not going to play graphics-heavy games, these are very good machines.

The 7400 comes in two versions, the normal one and the two-in-one version. The latter can be folded into a tablet (but has less CPU power)

@acciomath These are standard specs for most business laptops. Pretty much every vendor has something that fulfils these requirements. For example, Dell has the Latitude series.

@polymerwitch I'm pretty sure that they won't last. I simply don't see how this thing can be economically viable.

So even capitalism is working against this idea.

@rin Does Mastodon require that? That does sound like a lot.

@quad You can just create a second empty file and then use cat oldfile newfile > combined

@mike I didn't see anything is the discussion about the FB thing that made me think that what they are doing could not be equally well implemented using a Postgres instance.

@Nervengift So the cloud is something that is used to transfer information between the different edge nodes?

Sounds amazing, they should come up with a word for that. How about calling it network?
