Historically also, they've pushed things out from a LTS release that could have gone in and made people wait for the next non-LTS release because they were too new or experimental. If it's good, it'll be in the next LTS, but

France is also a US ally. I would rather suspect the answer is that the French company is more willing to bend over to censorship and surveillance orders from the Greenland government.

The picture isn't even his, I just searched "box of nickels" to see if it's standard to have such an unremarkable looking box and this ebay listing showed up with the same picture: https://www.ebay.com/it

Unfortunately this is a pop-sci myth similar to the "you only use 10% of your brain" myth.

I've wanted to see a version that segmented rappers by topic clusters of what they rap about, with fine enough details that you could take something like "drugs" and drill down or aggregate specific ones, and even have some s

patio11's already saved over $2k apparently, maybe he'll do a more formal write-up at some point. (A couple threads here https://x.com/patio11/status/1977425626584711668 and here https://x.com

How many people who owned iPods had their music collection deleted by iTunes? Apple software not caring about the user's bits doesn't seem new...

I've been using Gentoo as my primary OS since 2007, along with gnome2 (now mate) as the desktop environment with the ancient compiz for fancy effects like wobbling windows and a desktop cube. Updates come pretty quickly. It's so n

A smaller company without a big legal team is probably more likely to settle than a big company. Settlements don't establish precedent.

As already pointed out that link is already gone, except for the IA. That's part of why it's "no loss" -- it's not actually lost. Personally even if the IA didn't have a copy, I'd still say "marginal

I have a slightly older system with 128 GB of UDIMM DDR4 over four sticks. Ran just fine for quite a while but then I started having mysterious system freezes. Later discovered I had somehow disabled ECC error reporting in my system log on

In actual Common Lisp development, code is stored in text files and edited and diffed as text in source controlled repositories. Once code is evaluated by an implementation, it's a different story, but before that there are many format

At a former US job of mine, for a US headquartered company, I (a US citizen) was told similarly for my trips to Canada. I don't think it was by HR or legal though, it was either an older team member or one of the managers. But they rei

One source of awe people have with the idea of Lisp is how much you can build off of so little. I like pg's Roots of Lisp paper on that https://justine.lol/sectorlisp/jmc.pdf The core thing was the meta-circular e

Worse for whom? Not the end user, where again they just permanently enable the app once if they are going to use it often. This makes it little different to the consent for browser permissions, like notifications or access to a microphone o

The dirty secret of a huge amount of "production code", i.e. code that is in production right now servicing enterprise needs, is that it's written with the care and understanding of typical throwaway code. It's not a new

I largely agree with you but it's not quite as generic as horoscopes and similar can be. Let's look at the DSM-V's diagnostic criteria for ADHD: A. A persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity tha

I'm not sure if the misunderstanding is on my end or yours, but I don't see how you get "I won't use them" from my comment mentioning I have over 130 games on GOG alone. I just added 3 more. I've even played so

GOG is in bed with Amazon. I have over 130 games via GOG, only a handful I paid for -- right now I can only think of the Yakuza 0-6 collection that was priced so low I had to do it even though I played them all on a friend's xbox befor

Some of the people I cared about left earlier in the Mastodon exodus but when I occasionally check up on them many have just stopped posting there too. It's not really any different from blogs stopping or at least updating very rarely.

If the argument was not born from ignorance I think it'd be fine ;) There's a rich history, decades old, of people claiming Lisp can't do X or is bad for Y, or is only a category and the true meaning of Lisp as a category is

That regulation certainly didn't help. Though more fingers can be pointed around, I think, for what has contributed in important amounts. What also has to be explained is that the modern giant F-150 is just a massively popular vehicle

Still as ugly as last time it appeared on HN, it has none of the charm of a Kei truck. I wish any company would just take the old Ford Ranger designs (2011 and earlier) and make a truck on that. Or better yet, Ford themselves could redo the

Japan has some of the weirdest/inconsistent rules around this stuff. Black lines or mozaic partial censorship of genitals, incest/stuff with minors widely available, and then you have some pretty violent uncensored movies, manga&#
