Question: Does the build number always increment no matter the version or does the build number resets to 1 for every new version?
  • Since version 3, TeX has used an idiosyncratic version numbering system, where updates have been indicated by adding an extra digit at the end of the decimal, so that the version number asymptotically approaches π. This is a reflection of the fact that TeX is now very stable, and only minor updates are anticipated. The current version of TeX is 3.141592653

  • Those without A/C, what are your tips to stay cool during the summer?
  • Spray water (fine mist from a bottle) on the inside of your windows and use it to stick aluminium foil to the glass, shiny side out. I do the top ⅔ of the north-facing windows (I’m in the southern hemisphere) each summer and it reduces the indoor heat significantly.

  • Sleepers of lemmy, do you have your cell phone in your dreams?
  • Sometimes , but there are pop-up ads, and weird apps running, that prevent me from using it. Or I can’t switch from the app currently running to the app I want. For some reason, when I have my phone in my dreams, these are common themes.

    I don’t remember actually making phone calls in my dreams.

  • What are some marketing tactics that you dislike ?
  • Use a different email alias for each site. Duckduckgo with their duck.com, or Apple’s Hide My Email makes that easy; let your password manager keep track of the alias. If they start to spam me, I know not to use that site again, and I can delete the alias so that the spam goes into a black hole.

  • What secret conspiracy would you like to actually start letting other people know?
  • many science fiction movies and tv shows are actually true stories, but since no one will believe that they’re true, they are presented as fiction. Only a select few know which stories are documentaries showing what really happened.

  • Unwanted new tab on iPad

    When I switch applications on iPad, and switch back to Firefox, it opens a new blank tab every time. But doesn’t happen on iPhone. Settings are the same on both devices.

    Has anyone else seen this?

    Firefox 123.1

    iOS 17.3.1 iPad mini 5 iPhone 13 mini
