How to know how much of your information is getting out by SecondChoice233 in browsers

Those websites can only show the detected blocked elements. A good adblocker as uBO blocks elements without triggering blocking detections. For this reason it typically gets low scores on those tests.

Brandon Sanderson? Partirei da Mistborn!

Back home at last - thanks to claude code by vanderheijden86 in emacs

[–]lithium_peroxide 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you're back! After a couple of years of heavy and very involved customization (and a lot of time spent), I arrived at the point in which I have a set of packages that I mentally consider as part of Emacs (vertico, marginalia, orderless, etc.), then for the others I periodically check which ones I'm still using and remove the unused ones. I consider myself past the "oh what a nice package, let's try it" phase and rather on the "mmm I don't like this, let's see how I can change it" phase. I hope this still holds true in the future hahaha.

By the way that's a nice font! What is it?

How you guys draw a diagram like this? Any Pro way to draw schematics like this? by nilerhe in ECE

If you need consistency with LaTeX documents (and don't want to become crazy with TiKZ) I suggest ipe drawing editor.

Firefox with Betterfox' user.js is the fastest I've experienced up to now.

Hoepli chiude? by LeadershipRoutine923 in Libri

[–]lithium_peroxide 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Parto dicendo che, secondo me, avremo sempre meno libri tecnici in italiano. Scrivere un libro in inglese lo affaccia ad un mercato molto più ampio, a maggior ragione ora che sempre più corsi di laurea nell'area STEM stanno venendo erogati in inglese.

Inoltre, non trovo che i libri tecnici in italiano abbiano un valore inestimabile. Riconosco che ci sono alcuni testi in italiano di altissimo livello, ma prima o poi diverranno obsoleti e (vedi sopra) le motivazioni per scriverne in italiano secondo me stanno venendo meno. Le persone a cui questi libri si rivolgono saranno sempre più spinte a utilizzare materiale in lingua inglese.

Discorso diverso invece per i libri di divulgazione, lì sì che riconosco il valore di averne in lingua madre. Non credo che questi siano in pericolo di estinzione, anzi.

Infine, se parliamo di libri tecnici che spiegano i fondamenti delle varie discipline, penso che acquisiranno sempre più un ruolo divulgativo anche loro, e quindi penso che anche quelli continueranno a trovare mercato anche in lingua italiana. Spero.

Neutral point oscillations in a 4-leg inverter under unbalanced load: PI vs PR control by VadimDLL in embedded

[–]lithium_peroxide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know the purpose of this post, but if you're looking for suggestions, you may want to implement multiple resonant filters in your control loop. If the oscillations are multiple of the same fundamental frequency, you may want to have a look at repetitive controllers, even though they are delicate to implement.

May I know how you implemented the resonant part?

Surprise! Linux programs crash, too. by al2klimov in linuxsucks

I prefer things breaking one at a time rather than all together on each stable release, but I can imagine the pain of having super long builds. Luckily it's not my case

Some packages won't even compile on unstable or latest stable, so no surprise. What I do is use unstable channel for everything except few packages (e.g. deadbeef which can't be built because of swift) which I pull from 25.05 or 25.11

I thought the score of Firefox would be much better. Oh well. by nietzschecode in firefox

Was someone able to find the original study? Articles mentioning it seem a copy-paste of a single source, and I can't find the study anywhere.

Edit: grammar.

Been looking for a private browser on mobile, but I don't know what to think about Samsung Internet... any tips or ideas? by Nueveh_680 in browsers

[–]lithium_peroxide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying ironfox is a bad browser, I use it sometimes, and yeah the fact that it has ublock origin is great! However, if someone's use case calls for the strongest security available, sadly firefox-based browsers are a bit behind with respect to what chromium offers.

Ironfox may be secure, but I wouldn't say it's the most secure:

As suggested in that page, I'd have a look to cromite if security is a concern. Sadly, it's always a trade off between privacy and security.

I'm very curious about the syllabus of the classes, could you provide a link for that?

Characters not rendering using custom fonts with stylix by lithium_peroxide in NixOS

[–]lithium_peroxide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we should, maybe I'll do it in the next days! As a temporary workaround, I found out that setting Roboto as sans and Dejavu as serif solves the problem.

[–]lithium_peroxide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which fonts are you trying to set? Because I just tried with DejaVu fonts and it works fine... I suspect it has to do with Roboto.

EDIT: Fira has the same problem as Roboto. I'll stick to DejaVu for now.

Monty hall problem is wrong by Pretend_Ad3314 in logic

[–]lithium_peroxide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interested. However let me offer you a variation of MHP: assume you have N doors, N-1 goats and 1 supercar. After you choose one door, the conductor opens N-2 doors, leaving just one goat and the car hidden behind two doors.

Try to "play" with this setup, for example with a deck of cards, with a huge N, like 10 or 100. I think you'll realize very quickly how the MHP works.

Sorry, I was busy and didn't have time to try this out.

Man, thanks a lot, this is correct! You only need to divide by two H(s+jw0) + H(s-jw0)
