Sure the specs are better on other devices, but it comes down to what you'll actually use. Being so tiny I can just toss it in my pocket, and read a few pages with no effort. It's like having a fancy notebook: you end up being very intentional when you write in it, but you'll happily jot something on a scrap of paper without second thought.

Yeah, my old kobo clara hd fits in my pocket, but it's not perfect, feels like it would get damaged.

I had been looking at the clara bw when I thought my hd was broken but managed to repair it.

Do you have the X4 or X3? I imagine with the small size it's barely a few sentences per page? Feels like it would be difficult to read comfortably. Maybe it's like reading one of those tiny bibles.


I have a x4 (the old one with usb-c charging) and reading feels pretty comfortable to me, even with poor eyesight. I also tried using it to read a comic book at one point, but that was unreadable due to small letters/low resolution.

I don't read comic books or graphic novels but it would not shock me if those are unusable on these little devices.

I got a cheap x4 from aliexpress and it's been great. Thought it'd be weird to read a book on it but it really hasn't been. Sticks to my phone and slips into a pocket really easily.

My preferred Kindle 4 classic also fits in my pockets, used ones are at around 25 EUR and pretty hackable. I could barely imagine reading a book in 3.7", that's half of a smartphone.

Current smartphones. The original iPhone had a 3.5" display and a lower PPI than the x3.


When I googled the dimensions of that it sounded a bit too big for a pocket.

It has become river-classic: https://codeberg.org/river/river-classic


That's kind of the way Tangled works, right? Although it's Yet Another Platform so it's still a little bit locked in...


There are realtime systems for traffic analysis. I know of Addinsight, e.g. https://news.addinsight.com/bluetooths-leap-forward-the-evol...


I assume a cycle of write bug -> fix bug -> get paid until they can afford a new car!


How does Gerrit manage this? Are the comments associated with the source content, instead of commits?


Gerrit uses a “Change-Id” trailer with a unique value. When you “fix up” a commit, the commit SHA changes but the change id remains the same. That’s how it can identify different commits with the same change id as patchsets of the same change.

This is based on what I remember (haven’t used gerrit in a while), so it may not be accurate.

I used gerrit in my previous job and miss using it. Would definitely prefer it over GitHub which is more popular (and convenient of course, can’t deny that).


Your understanding of the Change-Id footer sounds like it matches mine.

I’d note that it works that way presently, but the teams behind git, gerrit, jj-vcs, and a couple of other relevant stakeholders have an email thread going in which, from what I understand, they discuss standardizing on the approach taken by jj-vcs:

I’ve really enjoyed jj and im happy to see the community working together on these kinds of things.


Here's a guy playing with a supercritical CO2 pressure vessel on a table (seems a little brave to be shaking something at such high pressures!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d7RGQMCX24


> Would not recommend working in aviation

Why not?


Low pay. High stress. High responsibility. You can't report a lot of health problems(anything mental health will get your license taken away).

Aviation is expensive and shitty. The FAA is a garbage organization that covers it's own ass first.


Agreed to everything in the first paragraph - second isn't something I can speak to as a Canadian. Came back to say you forgot the boom-bust cycle and the constant layoffs that come with it. Would like to reiterate on the stress and (corresponding) responsibility too, with again, the low pay not helping.

Can't say how glad I am to be out of aviation. I will say that it can play well on dating apps though - it can be dressed up to look very nice


There is a Help->Rules link on all of the puzzles linked here. It can be a little tricky to decipher them if you're coming to them completely brand new, however. I mostly use them as a refresher.


You're right, but not all of them link to the puzz.link player. The ones using the pzv.jp player, for instance, lack that feature.


Maybe a PS/2 touchpad that is triggering (a bunch of) interrupts? Not sure how hardware interrupts work with RT!


One of the features of PREEMPT_RT is that it converts interrupt handlers to running in their own threads (with some exceptions, I believe), instead of being tacked on top of whatever thread context was active at the time like with the softirq approach the "normal" kernel uses. This allows the scheduler to better decide what should run (e.g. your RT process rather than serving interrupts for downloading cat pictures).
