I am incredibly happy that my teenage growing up period occurred on now-defunct forums and pre-Facebook social networks.

Some examples I'm aware of (mostly in the language learning and especially Japanese learning space) - subs2srs MPV script: create srs cards from subtitled videos, if you have subtitles tracks for source and target language it will fill

I do think that Wanikani and Bunpro are kind of in a catch-22 on this compared to Anki. They've built their gamification features and UI on the idea that cards have specific buckets that they're in and something like FSRS is a lot

The AI companies could do work or they could not do work. They've pretty widely chosen to not do work and just slam websites from proxy IPs instead. You would think their products would be used by them to do the work if they worked as

This is not the same functionality that Nextcloud provides though. This is one time upload of manually selected files, not ongoing passive sync of an entire directory tree.

There is a mismatch between employer expectations and employee expectations. Employees expect things like WFH and pay comparable with previous years. Employers expect to do more with less. Inviting the additional foreign workers reduces pre

I'm not sure codeberg has managed two 9s of uptime while I've been using it. Manageable when it's just a public mirror for occasional publishing of my small hobby projects, but I wouldn't recommend it for Firefox sized p

Yeah, I always feel surprised when people call out the Linux audio experience as uniquely bad. Meanwhile on Windows I need to jam voicemeter in the middle to separate inputs and outputs so I don't have games crashing to desktop because

Fandom would rather I do anything other than what I came to the site to do. - Autoplaying barely related videos at the top as someone told them video content has better CPM - "Have you tried looking at this page on another wiki?"

Right, but there other, real, negative impacts of monopoly, whereas the positive impact of R&D funding seems to be at best a maybe as to if it's better than the alternative.

Voters want to know that the money is being "spent effectively". This basically means that the amount of bureaucracy and overhead can only go up. Accepting less alignment with government goals and streamlining process would probab

I can understand the motivation for acting on death threats like someone claiming they would like to stab another person. Who knows how plausible that is? Without knowing much about the poster, you kind of have to assume the most plausible

As an aside, does anyone make employment decisions on policies like promised sabbaticals after $x years of service? Everywhere I've seen them, the policies usually have something like a 5yoe cliff, and also are usually revoked in less

One thing that Opensearch misses that would have been very nice to have on a recent project is enrich processors ( https://www.elastic.co/docs/manage-data/ingest/transform-enr... ) If you're just using the

Maybe it's my amount of video games played in childhood that influenced that, but common and rare are just two points on a spectrum (with at least "uncommon" in between)

There's an entire sub-industry of companies doing cross device targeting and attribution. Guess how they're doing it. It's not cookies. It's also why the GDPR is not a "cookie law" and accepting the prompts but

Yes, the asymmetry is a problem. If the terms the company has to use my contributions is more favorable to them than the terms under which I can use their contributions, then I'm not into playing that game.

Not for GDPR. If they've broken other laws, then maybe.

> Just a nitpick -- a fraction of their profit (net income), not revenue. Most of revenue already goes out the door as expenses. If you fined as a reasonable fraction of revenue, you'd simply bankrupt a corporation, which is not wha

That's sort of fine. As a personal user, someone could fork and maintain redis in that case, which wasn't true in the SSPL era. Now AGPL+CLA is not a license I'd contribute under, but also Redis is so far down my priorities

Obviously when the Turing Test was designed, the thought was that anything that could pass it would so obviously be clearly human-like that passing it would be a clear signal. LLMs really made it clear that it's not so clear cut. And s

This many tabs are a temporary todo list, basically. Bookmarks are permanent and the interface is worse for cleaning them up when you're done with them. Also, some sites, and especially app-like sites, are terrible at preserving your s

It seems very simple cause and effect from a economic standpoint. Hype about AI is very high, so investors ask boards what they're doing about AI and using it, because they think AI will disrupt investments that don't. The boards

A lot of why people didn't build Stripe before was that to enter the payments space you needed connections to get the banks and payment processors to work with you. In comparison, you don't need anyone's permission to make ub
