It's distributing everything, including things that aren't available any other way, and if you want the good you have to pluck it out of the bad. Living without the good just to avoid that is maybe one philosophy of life, but cert

Isn't it only using standard ble hardware anyway? So what's the problem?

He's merely the most uninteresting unremarkable thing in the word, a douchebag who can code. Sure RoR is nice, and he's a asshole. Go ahead and use RoR, and don't admire him or value his deep thoughts in any other way.

Since we are talking about a security app, remember that the latency may possibly be evidense of BW doing a job that 1P simply isn't doing. IE intentionally artificially slow and hard decryption steps that you don't want to be e

I think it was the Uplift series by David Brin that has an idea where the old galactic races all speak a perfect language that has no ambiguity, and because of that they have no poetry or jokes. What a great world to strive for. No I'l

"is that necessarily a bad thing?" Yes. The value of the diversity is not just aesthetic. Human laguage is rich and expressive, matching human thought. The diversity is part of the expressiveness. Saying something in some poetic,

There's no reason to hope there is a way to tell a particular source of ads to turn itself off when you can just use a non-gimped ad block on a non-gimped platform and block all ads without caring if any of them are cooperative or adve

That world is terrible. Thank deity no one has the power to actually inflict and enforce their particular bankrupt oppressive idea of the one true world on everyone else. Variety and change is basically the definition of life itself. Unifor

That's a thing that happens, but this doesn't look like that. The words "I vibe coded this" explicitly disclaim any excess credit. They did exactly what anyone can reasonably ask for. They exhibited essentially perfect i

You do not need root to run that shell function, nor to get it loaded into a shell's environment. They didn't say anything about overwriting the sudo binary, and that is not required, which I think was their whole point was to sho

You didn't switch away from windows to get superior software? Also, the statement was valid because it will be true for most. It doesn't matter that you read it and it wasn't true for you, as long as it's true by the num

No one is whining about not being given enough free stuff, and you in fact have no right to criticize people for something they aren't doing. For my part, I'm simply opting for "leave it" out of "take it or leave it

They probably didn't do anything illegal. They did something I don't approve of. Since I am not one of their C suite or majority shareholders, I have no other way to express what I want and what I don't want. The usual answer

When you die, you will leave behind nice orderly contiguous files. It's thoughtful. hehe

They do not give all of the code. If you have an object, and don't have everything needed to reproduce the object, then you have not been given the source to the object. And with BSD licenced code this is their right. And it's my

Regardless the estimated quality of the new thing, there is a point and a value in penalizing the old thing when it fails to adhere to principles. One must have principles onesself to see this as imortant though. A lot of people use words l

Wayland is annoying out of touch crap that works well enough for some people to think it's good. Enjoy your Wayland. Surely all the people who aren't you must just be stupid.

A scientific discovéy is innately valuable. THIS data has no value to the people collecting it except for the power it gives them to predict and/or manipulate you.

by Brian_K_White 2mo ago
The only reason it's valuable is because of it's utility to extract value from you. Not just money either but for instance the power to manipulate. It's not a scientific discovery.

An ai decompiles a binary to a human representation. Not even to a traditional programming language but just to an md file or infographic. Probably terribly but probably good enough for some people to love it, and probably getting better ov

The same reason tar and dd and practically everything operates on blocks not bytes, plus the same reason the shell doesn't act until eol delimiter, the opportunity to edit before submit. I think talk could get away with it because on a

Maybe they should have said something like "These are solvable backwards compatibility issues, but not in the short or medium term."
