A few years ago, I had setup a publicly accessible Pihole and asked people to use my pihole as their DNS server. The idea was to pay websites a small fee every time someone looked up their IP using my pihole setup. As a proof of concept, it

I can’t imagine this sort of trickery is going to help them in the long run - they are training their users to mistrust and eventually ignore them. It’s like a furniture shop advertising a “going out of business” sale or a shepherd boy cryi

Both Reddit and Twitter show a fake notification indicating some activity directed at you like an @mention or a reply but are actually just a trick to get you to open the notifications tab/popover. Stopped using Twitter and reddit the

I found that my responses hinged on the use of specific pronouns - e.g. “in” or “on” so a space station flying over a park wasn’t “in” the park per se - and on whether it was clear to me whether whether the park was being used a thoroughfar

If I remember my tech history, by 2012-13, FB had realized that their html5 FB app wouldn't cut it on mobile devices and had gone all in on a native app. https://magazine.wharton.upenn.edu/digital/the-pivotal-tale-

I did okay, can't complain, but I bought in early 2015, not 2012-13 once the upswing was confirmed.

FB ca 2012-13 was a pretty sure bet, imho. They basically had no competition in social. TikTok hadn't come out yet. G+ had perished not long ago. Apple hadn't yet kneecapped them on privacy. They hadn't yet turned into superv

ChatGPT plug-ins serve a different use case which is to inject real time info into a chat conversation backed by ChatGPT's backend. While the article is light on details, the AI software App Store seems to be where you'd go to fin

I have always found guides of this type to be a little oppressive - I spend more time trying to figure out if I’m doing everything right to match the explanation of whatever the guide says than meditating.

They could optimize this by only egressing they most recently used petabytes of data for some value of “recently”.

Did you miss that the OP themselves used the word “resent”? Don’t know if they edited their comment to remove the word “resent” (haven’t checked) but it was certainly there when I replied to them.

Resenting someone's good fortune helps no one but certainly hurts the resenter by blinding them to what (could have) helped the other guys attain said good fortune. Yes, Reddit had standard Web 2.0 features but they had to build it and

Self inflicted and so, deserved. They could stayed neutral arbiters of content but they decided to incentivise websites to host ads, then let them fight to drive traffic to the site. They deserve whatever doo-doo is accruing to them. Theyre

Hm, I see what you mean. Afaict, only the decision to call or not call a function is up to the model (fuzzy). Once it decides to call the function, it generates mostly correct JSON based on your schema and returns that to you as is (not ver

Yeah, the wework hate is getting a bit out of hand. They (well, co-working spaces) added uniformity, predictability, and an international footprint to a legacy business of renting office space.

Couldn’t agree more. In my former life as an employee managing teams and projects, I was infamous for having meeting scheduled for 30 minutes which ended in 20 with a plan of action as output. Long meetings are such a waste.

Isn’t a name change just another entry in a database saying user_id X now points to make Y? How hard can it be to combine one more database entry into a deanonymisation process?

Maybe the world needs an NRA type agency for privacy - strident and extremist in scope so that the government invariably wilts before it.

Dot is the current directory. With ~, ~/. could mean your home directory if your shell recognises ~ as $HOME. Don’t think /. aka slashdot has any intrinsic meaning in Linux.

For another, spoken conversations are ephemeral but also point in time. Archived chats need to then be cross-referenced with time and date to check if those chats are still relevant. If partially relevant, which parts can or must be excised

My blogging flow doesn’t have an edit button. I email a blog post which gets published for the world to see. So, there is not always an edit button.

Yeah, this makes sense to me. I’m sure if you asked a trained chef if they’d buy some overpriced gourmet food at a chic place, they’d say no. They’re making exactly the same choice as a developer when it comes to visualising how much effort

What is this gibberish and how are people replying to it as if it is a serious comment that makes complete sense to them? FWIW, I checked spk-17's profile - there's no key or trick mentioned to help the clueless like me decipher t
