IDF.social is your home if you know:
\[
\textit{idf} = - \log \frac{n_t}{N}
\]
and... everyone else!

Dear all,
For now, I will keep the site closed for registrations; but everyone can independently invite people to join using the following link to generate an invite:
If you know someone who wants to join this instance, then please do give them an invite!
Consider the instance open for those who know anyone on IDF.social.
"Sense of community" and an initial seed of some 40 IR researchers should be enough to keep those spammers out of here and still grow the club!

I've had a bit of trouble installing some #rust crates on my #windows machine due to not having a C compiler properly configured.
So I wrote a tutorial on how to install everything you need to get #gcc and #cmake as a part of your Rust toolchain on Windows.

En toen kwam ik ineens mijn oude liefde weer tegen. Perl dus 🙂

Brilliant project that tidies up public domain ebooks.
Gutenberg and Internet Archive are wonderful resources, but the texts are poorly formatted for actual use, especially on ereaders.
This is a volunteer driven initiative to bring these texts up to date with modern standards and make them look as good as possible on the page.
Happy to see some activities gain traction around search in Europe!

We have started to ship the first batches of /e/-Fairphone.
It seems there quite some demand for this unique product!
We are renewing the stock continuously.

NTFS, the New Technology File System, has been windows' default file system since 1993
"high definition" refers to 720p and above, with 1080p being Full High Definition and 2160p being Ultra High Definition
USB full speed was superceded by USB super speed, which was superceded by USB super speed+
using superlative names for tech products is always a terrible idea

Here’s the text: I believe that scholars’ choice of tools is not simply a neutral technical question, and therefore I have used software that contains embedded values of user autonomy to write this dissertation. Most of the text was written in GNU Emacs, an open source text editor that dates back to 1985 and continues to evolve through community effort. Emacs has an embedded programming language, Emacs Lisp, which makes it expandable to any kind of working with texts.
