NetBSD isn't the first to use the name. My pet text editor is also called atto: https://git.levitati.ng/Levitating/atto

Yet the chemistry nobel prize of 2024 went to researchers at Google Deepmind.

I have hard time accepting this is a real image. Do pollen really look like that?!

I found this blog while making a map of the inner solar system for my wall. The dataset and code from this post proved really valuable: https://tabletopwhale.com/2019/06/10/the-solar-system.html

Thanks for whoever at HN re-submitted this submission (I think that's what happened?).

Huh this kind of resonates with me. In high school I used to be chronically tired and would sleep any chance I got. Doctor really didn't know what to do with it. As a student I have little time constraints and my sleep schedule just drifts all over the place, I woke up at 4am today.

It does if it keeps their valuation in the trillions.

In my limited experience with OCaml, Opus has problems using the paradigm correctly. For instance it sometimes avoids recursion when it obviously fits.

It gets it right after a few attempts.

I used it for a long time but the configuration of nginx just allows for more stuff.

I have my own configuration template for nginx: https://git.levitati.ng/Levitating/nginx.conf

Ease of configuration, I think? I don't remember my gripes with fcgiwrap exactly.

I have used it and I've even made PR for it which led to a response from the lighttpd maintainer: https://github.com/gnosek/fcgiwrap/pull/62

Essentially I wanted fgciwrap to be able to accept arbitrary response bodies without headers, so I could use it with programs that weren't actually made for cgi. Lighttpd supports this but apparently that's an happy accident.

CGI is great. Sadly nginx doesn't support it natively as opposed to lighttpd.

I like this project for adding CGI to nginx: https://github.com/pjincz/nginx-cgi

There's also methods of starting Rack applications directly form nginx via passenger[1]. Rack is the CGI like interface for ruby webapps: https://github.com/rack/rack It easily allows for writing applications and middleware with a few lines of ruby.

Projectors aren't cheap though? Especially if you want to use them in a lit room.

No, just pick your technology better. My LineageOS phone and framework laptop do nothing of the sort.
