I bet someone can hack up a browser addon to generate predictable comments to circumvent this. e.g. "this", "I also choose this guy's wife", movie quote chains, etc. Extend to Youtube with fake sob stories and born

And yet, the lifestyles of some of the greatest minds were basically taking leisurely walks and reading / writing letters (Einstein). The other day there was Ian Fleming's daily routine - have a walk, sit on the beach, have a drin

Yeah that was me after 3 years during a company over the panny-D, I just had nothing in common with any of the people working there, the company didn't seem to have much ambitions, definitely did not realize they needed 5-10 more peopl

I think that ultimately it can help make a better company/team/etc, BUT you need a program / agenda and people that know what they're doing - can't just make it a bro fest. Alcohol can be fine, but you will discover

Possibly, and then rebuilt. They rebuild houses every 20, 30 odd years anyway (according to https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2017/nov/16/japan-reusabl... ), and temples too https://longnow.or

Yeah that was it; if I got this right, US libraries got the right to lend out one digital version of a book that they had in their inventory. Archive.org combined those digital versions so that people could check out a digital book if any

From my limited experience with this tool / DORA metrics, it's not so much about performance (PRs per hour) but more about whether you can act fast if you need to. But I'm not sure what the other metrics are about.

My only experience with GetDX has been filling in a questionaire once a quarter that asked stuff like "how often do you go to production"; I don't know if you work in a more hostile environment, but in my case it was always u

And reduce evaporation, which reduces moisture in the air, which reduces rainfall, etc. I don't know what I'm talking about and already think messing with the weather in any way is a Bad Idea.

I think the more short term achievable one is better forest management; another thread mentions this is a big monoculture of pine trees planted nearly 200 years ago. Diversify the forests, create fire breaks, have a rapid fire response plan

Possibly, but the other option is to let it return to barren wasteland. If left alone it'll find itself a new balance, eventually.

Call me a shill but I don't need foreign nations telling me what to object to when the problems caused are obvious. Mind you, I blame governmental mismanagement of infrastructure etc just as much. The datacenters followed procedures wh

So like the original iPod Shuffle? Just buttons, a clip and a headphone jack, no screen. (I do think they need a minimum size to be usable but companies can be creative with the form factor)

Disappointing, but that's the harsh reality of how the market works. Convenience wins. Which is why physical media sales first suffered (allegedly) from piracy; I don't think it was primarily to avoid paying for stuff, but because

The thing with vinyl is that record players never really went away, but more importantly compared to the walkman (and in the spirit of this article / tweet), they are big and relatively simple, with the pickups probably being the most

This only works for crawlers that play fair, unfortunately there's many that don't. Including ones that use consumer devices like TVs [0] and mobile phone apps that offer incentives to consumers (if they're even open about it

To a point; as the post mentions, they added instructions for LLMs to their website and increased their licensing inquiries tenfold (the article didn't state anything about actual licensing payments being made though). I don't thi

Agreed, this is what you agreed to (implicitly or explicitly) when uploading stuff to the internet. In fact, open source embraces this (hence the 'open'). But people are free to not publish things or post things online with a more

That's assuming the prediction markets all play fair and by the same rules. If Polymarket were to do that, its competition could choose not to. Since these exchanges are not tied to any one country (or jurisdiction), its users would ju

The community response was respecting robots.txt, but since that was more of a gentleman's agreement than a legal requirement, hungry AI scrapers disregarded it. Which brings us to the old fashioned flood control mechanisms. That is, t

Nobody except people trying to sell AI are claiming human programming is obsolete though.

I don't think this was particularly trivial, but I do think that thanks to AI assisted coding there's more capacity for making improvements that "don't seem worth it" at first or when you look at it as a percentage

These are two different things; a language server would be a standardized intermediate layer between said CI tooling and any editor for inline / realtime checking, code suggestions and formatting.

I feel the same about VS Code, it's probably some of the plugins but sometimes, especially when LLMs make edits, memory usage explodes until my system breaks down and force pauses some apps until I kill some of them. I should go back t

I've been on there too long, it feels like they died several times over: * CEO changes * Creation of new / infinite scrolling UI (and app) * Restricting content (banning racist subreddits, hiding NSFW from /all) * Removing po

The question remains whether that was all him or a combination of Wozniak and Ive, on top of being at the right place(s) at the right time(s) (iMac, iPod, iPhone). Also he died 15 years ago, but Apple's success (measured in market cap

Which would be fine I think if the company was otherwise successful. But the only thing preventing its complete downfall at this point is the high import taxes on the Chinese EV competition, and the only reason for said high import taxes is

Because they failed to get any other working new products to the market. Tesla semi? new roadster? Updates to their existing models? Tunnels? All announced years ago, nothing released. Cybertruck is the only released new product that made s

I called my wife's boyfriend and told him he needs to get on board NOW. There'll be a huge run on it once they announce the Boring Company Flamethrower Mount add-on.
