A search engine is for finding information. Misinformation is a kind of information.

If you're intolerant you are not tolerant. If you only tolerate what you approve of, you're not tolerate at all. The definition of tolerating includes viewpoints that are not your own. Otherwise everyone in existence would be tole

"Disinformation doesn't just try to present an alternative view, it also tries to drown out other viewpoints." So, basically what is done now by downranking "disinformation", right?

I am completely honest here: We had a dishwasher since I was a little child (it's very common here) The first one we had, we had for over 20 years until it broke down. If I can only get an IoT-thingy, I'll refuse to buy one and ei

"Smart device" isn't the correct term. The device isn't smart, it's just a big social experiment to check whether you're smart enough not to buy one. (and sadly too many people have failed, so they increased th

My dishwasher needs no software. The dishwasher I buy will never need software. I am a software engineer and I love technology, but I love simple technology and when something doesn't need software, I don't add software just for t

If you send money to the wrong person and they don't give it back, you can try sue them to give it back, but there is no inherent law that they must do so. Or am I wrongly informed? Because that's the knowledge I have from central

Well, the cloud is just a convenient way of accessing someone else's server. Convenience always costs money, there is no (big) cloud provider doing it out of their own pocket or rather not optimizing for huge profits. It's the sam

True, but depending on the service I personally would like efficient languages, not only dev time wise, but also runtime wise. Especially with regards to the environment. You may laugh all you want, the ever expanding internet should become

Being pragmatic could also mean using generics when appropriate. Not having generics isn't a pragmatic choice per se

There is different levels of drama and amount of contributors plus funding though. Do I fear that the Linux kernel, which is used by pretty much all Fortune 500 companies and has a huge amount of paid devs, will die in a huge flamewar? No!

I guess familiar syntax and a flatter learning curve. (note: I am not a C++ dev, so this is just my assumption/derivation)

Very intrigued, waiting for the wasm-plugins though. There are a few plugins I cannot work without. It's nice they have tree-sitter and lsp out of the box, but I can't live with things like hop[0] [0] https://github.com

That's fine. I see it like this: If there is a stupid mistake, it shows that I am a fallible human after all. (I tend to think that I don't have stupid mistakes in my CV) But my CV also shows part of my character, mainly the fun p

There is no "absolutely perfect", especially in such a subjective topic as résumés. Mine certainly isn't, it's like me. Worked out so far. But then again, I wouldn't want to work for most companies. Pecunia olet!

Another tip: Don't focus on results, focus on the process. I know it may sound esoteric, so to speak, but that helps. Do it because you know it makes you fitter, or keeps your body at a certain fitness level, don't do it to gain a

One tip I can give you: Give yourself small, achievable (!) goals for each day. Nothing too fancy, nothing you need to put in hours of research before you can complete them, just something. And then execute it. Each and every day, without f

I didn't specify which kind of pills they took, did I? A small hint: never tell anyone what they experienced, unless you were there or you're a godlike creature. Edit: I asked again which pills, it was anti depressants. It was hal

On the contrary, blindly believing (not knowing) is unscientific in any and all regards. I too saw people taking pills and becoming "robots" in the methaphoric sense. They were dull and not themselves, "just" without sui

Yes, it could. That is why you, as the copyright holder, have the final say in the matter and may take the risk or not. Think about e.g. Warcraft. It was supposed to be a Warhammer game. The license was "revoked", so they spun up

"what could happen should stop us" this is the base assumption for a lot of laws and compliance bullshit. So apparently, yes. Also, you don't want to live in such a culture. That is fine. You may create something beautiful an

Sales going down by someone using your original world/characters in a way that is then deemed unpopular is definitely restricted/not possible in a world with enforceable Copyright. And that was my point, not sales going down on th
