"Nookie Demastered"?

I suspect he still uses coke, just not as much as back in his heyday, which would also explain why he's not as prolific.

One of these is a master of their form, and the other had a massive coke habit which made them prolific. Having read/seen both, Kubrick's vision is without a doubt better.

Is the human economy happening on some other planet I'm not aware of?

Pretty sure they're being sarcastic.

Those things weren't looted from the natives. But the profits were looted from the workers who actually built all that stuff. Capitalists aren't the ones hammering in steel spikes or wearing clean-room fab suits.

Better for the natives and enslaved Africans, that's for sure.

> The problem with a system based on taking is that one runs out of things to take. Pretty damning critique of capitalists there, comrade.

And yet the one thing I can't do is automatically jump to the top of a question. One of my Discord servers loves doing FAQs as separate conversations, and once they get too many replies, I have to scroll endlessly (PgUp, etc) to see th

Well, ElasticSearch is the topic of the link. But specifically, those two are examples of companies who started off FOSS, then got exploited by AWS. Every FS-focused person gives them sh!7, but leaves Amazon off the hook because they exploi

Being polite is not quite the same thing as being handled professionally, and definitely not the same thing as handling it correctly. Telling people to exclude the file from backup came too late for many. E.g., Time Machine users with older

OrbStack is great in a lot of ways, and I universally prefer it over Docker for Mac. That being said, it wasn't always been smooth sailing. Under the hood, OrbStack uses an 8TB sparse disk image, which doesn't play nice with most

We still have to pay our bills under capitalism, though. Software copies might be infinite, but money isn't.

Hyperbole aside, they certainly haven't given as much as they've gotten, though. E.g., remember when Heartbleed hit, and the world learned that OpenSSL was maintained by one person getting only $2000/year for it? Fixing Heart

To be fair, though, every project of a certain size requires you to sign away your rights via CLA, so I don't think that can be held against them. (Though I admit, dispensing with a CLA would be an amazing gesture of good will.)

Those links are all generic pages related to their licenses. I'm not seeing how they support the idea of a "shakedown", which is criminal extortion.

He clearly has no problem with censorship, though. Meta just banned all accounts of the Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine, as well as NYU's People’s Solidarity Coalition.

What's at stake is the reputation of developer Game Science , which isn't great atm. There was an exposé a year ago ( https://www.ign.com/articles/how-black-myth-wukong-developer... ) for leaked documents reve

Yeah. As a general rule of thumb, dictionaries are simplistic, and extremely lagging, signals about everything a word can be about. No offense to dictionaries, since their goal is to be a succinct, useful, and universal summary of words, bu

Agreed, this mirrors what I've found using LLMs with Clojure and Python. Any large language with lots of training data is going to get good results from LLMs.

At a glance, Typst looks more like a competitor to Latex, not Markdown/Asciidoc/rST.

Bookmarks are perceptually longer-term than open tabs, so there may be more reluctance to save to a bookmark. (E.g., if planning a trip to Italy, do you want to bookmark some blogger's food recs for Rome, forever?) But worse is, it rel

It's because the developer is misconstruing a non-technical decision they made as a technical limitation. The commenters are trying to point this out, which misses the reality that the developer probably isn't going to budge from

As a FOSS maintainer, I have sympathy for him, but as a communicator, I see he really failed to address multiple commenters pointing out that several other FOSS video projects had the feature. (At least in the first page of comments.)

Many apps are also ridden with ads, can collect way more personal info than a web site, and unlike sites, it's way harder to block their ads. (E.g., installing a PiHole on your network vs installing a browser extension.) Altering a

I think you're missing the point. You're focusing on the technical differences, but it's not outlandish to imagine Apple demanding a cut of all transactions on iOS over time. It would start slowly, with a minor value-add (e.g
