I was hoping for a small phone as well since I’ve read rumours about the display being 5.3in when folded. However it also said 7.8in unfolded, which implies 4.1in × 3.3in folded… quite big and squarish.

I work in mathematical finance so a lot of domain knowledge in that area (derivatives, pricing, probability theory).

I am looking for work in other domains as well.

Happy to provide you with a full CV personally.

Your comment put me on a side quest to research the differences between i.e., e.g., viz. and sc. and I have to admit that I’m still not 100% sure

Don’t think I’ve ever heard of scilicet. <https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=viz.,sc.&year_...> definitely suggests viz. to have been massively more popular than sc.

Concordantly, vis a vis, ergo..

i.e. == aka == in other words

e.g. == f.e., for example

"e.g." == exempli gratia == to give an example

"i.e." == id es == that is

But both i.e. and e.g. might be more easily understood by non-native speakers of English (IMHO ;-)

Yes you can set it via an environment variable (UV_NATIVE_TLS=true) or in your uv.toml (native-tls = true). However, check the docs, I think they are renaming it to sytem-certs.

Looks like I forgot to answer the other half :) Yes you can pin a specific Python like `uv python pin cpython-3.14.0-macos-aarch64-none`, it will create a `.python-version` file which will be respected when you’re in the directory.

Without HTTPS someone could alter the content, spread false information, inject ads, malware, and other stuff, redirect to some other site, …

(This is a general remark, but it goes for a blog post like this as well.)

It's still a weak argument since it's extremely rare in practice that's why I suggested blaming the ISP instead since ISP's are the ones that have historically tampered with http content.

It's rare in practice because everyone and their mothers run HTTPS now.

Attacks in general are all rare in practice in the grand scheme of the internet. So?

Yes, that's why you present a better argument, that's the entire conversation.

The site owners could do all of that even with HTTPS, and no-one would revoke their certs. Just saying.

And the best Windows malware is actually digitally signed.

My experiences from dabbling with it a few months ago:

In general everything needs to be compiled for FreeBSD, but the ports collection is quite extensive. For example you will find Firefox, wayland, GNOME, KDE, xfce, … even dotnet was on there.

Problems arise with properietary stuff like Spotify, Widevine DRM etc. However, FreeBSD has a Linux emulation layer (providing syscalls), dubbed ‘Linuxulator’. I managed to run the Spotify Linux desktop client but the Spotify website wouldn’t let me log in, didn’t research further. AFAIK the emulator is limited though, not implementing all syscalls.

There is also podman for FreeBSD and in addition to running FreeBSD containers (using Jails under the hood I guess?) it can run Linux containers as well (using the Linuxulator in addition then?).

It also comes with a hypervisor called bhyve if you want to run VMs

There is a handbook on their website describing how to set up a system (including desktop environment) if you want to give it a go.

For spotify, just use spotify-qt :)

I don't think docker works in the linuxulator though. That's the one thing I miss sometimes.

I could be wrong but I think Jails are separate from containers on BSD?

I thought that podman uses jails under the hood on FreeBSD, but it is a guess. The podman code seems to reference jails: <https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Acontainers%2Fpodman%20fre...>

But jails of course are older and can be used on their own, I didn’t want to imply they’re the same thing

Also, some layouts use shift lock (so actually turning 1 into !) instead of caps lock

This sounds like the idea behind mutation testing

Maybe give terminal windows in vim a try? vim is not a terminal multiplexer, but if all you need is multiple terminals windows:

:term to open a terminal in a new vim window (or :vert term)

Standard window movements apply (by default the window prefix is Ctrl-W), most important are: Ctrl-W,{hjkl} to switch between windows, Ctrl-W,{<>+-} to resize windows, Ctrl-W,{HJKL} to move windows to edges, Ctrl-W,{qc} to (force) close windows

Enter normal mode of a terminal buffer with Ctrl-W,N: now you can perform vim motions and scroll the output

Enter insert mode with i and you can type into the terminal again

In insert mode: Ctrl-W "x to paste register x, Ctrl-W . to send a literal Ctrl-W. If too annoying, you can change the window prefix of vim

This goes for vim, neovim also has a terminal mode but it works differently I think

I think on the sending side, being able to send from others’ addresses is fixed by now: https://userforum-en.mailbox.org/topic/anti-spoofing-for-cus...

But it definitely used to be possible, I tried once with success.

Anti spoofing for incoming mails was not perfect the last time I checked either, but is a different issue.

For incoming mail, your client should check regardless of the server provider. On Thunderbird I have this extension: https://github.com/mcortt/EagleEye . It checks for any SPF, DKIM and DMARC fails and shows a banner. SPF/DKIM/DMARC is minimum and pretty useless against spam though. All phishing e-mails in my GMail account have impeccable SPF/DKIM records.
