Are there statistics on the scale of compute available to GIMPS for this search? Is there any evidence that by crowdsourcing the clients, we are searching faster than, eg, a dedicated cluster financed by a government or a corporation? What is the impact of GIMPS as a distributed problem solving tool? Like, if there was a practical application, how much money would it take to exceed GIMPS throughput, that curious people provide for free?

I’d like it to be astronomical, but given the niche of this, and the low cost of cloud compute, the answer is predicable depressing, like, “$50k/year in AWS costs would equal current GIMPS search throughput”

> none of them seem to have that basic "New Window with Profile ..."

iTerm has exactly that.

Umm. Well, mostly because tiktok is the only major social media company associated with a government that has a history of trying to steer US elections one way or another.

What is your definition of bare metal?

Yes it can. Diffraction limit relates to resolution in space, not scattering.

Prose writing in any form is super useful. The challenge is having a unified tool to impose some structure. Instead, thoughts are divided across email, slack, confluence, quip, etc.

This is the way. I’ve used zettelkasten, which is similar philosophy. Dump a thought and tag it for retrieval later. I prefer making this work with simple files and markdown. I have a colleague who uses email drafts well. My problem with OneNote and similar is the bloat of it. But, having images alongside text, when needed, is super nice.

I get that, but isn’t that a problem with dependency management itself and not the tools?

I don’t think I could ever switch to a windowed app as editor, vs a TUI, eg neovim. The remote story is never great for me. It forces your editor to slowly bloat to become your entire IDE. Native remote dev using tmux is so nice. Can anyone persuade me otherwise?

Tips please, esp configure vscode like nvim.

Evidently this is all very new to you, sounding slightly histrionic.

The zed complaint is purely about it be auto enabled. For each language there is usually a standard and at least one tool. Most people want formatting and can’t stands code bases where sometimes it’s a single quote, sometimes a double quote.

Not sure it should be default, but auto formatting actually helps reduce git noise.

Here I am and pip+venv+pyproject.toml work just fine. I don’t distribute outside our team, maybe that’s why?

Agree. Support PSF, don’t advocate a new “right way” of doing it. Weird position.

Assuming you’re serious and not just trolling - what even is wokism, aside from a name thrown at people you disagree with? Bigotry is a known, studied phenomenon. Are you saying there is not a natural tendency to prefer one’s own kind and mistrust foreigners? Are you saying that groupthink respects no particular ideology?
