Nice, thanks. Looks pretty reasonable, but I'd really have to learn some zig myself to be fully comfortable using it, I think.

I haven't, but I might have to do a lot of work to get it working, as my typical use of Lua is deeply embedded and customized, and doesn't allow any filesystem access. I will definitely look into that, though, thank you. The only

Pretty interesting. I'm a professional user of Lua, and while I love it, I really get frustrated at a lot of aspects of it, especially how loose the typing is. I've long wished there were more strongly typed alternatives, but just

Same here, except Lovecraft deities. My domain is rlyeh, and my hostnames at the moment are yog-sothoth, azathoth, and nyarlathotep. cthulhu, dygra, and yidhra are retired hosts.

I trust the maintainers of my distro software repositories. Any non-distro software, I want to audit before I install or it should be sandboxed. And yes. The recommendation is to not just download and run programs you find on the web.

I used to do that, until I had to go through my history to find a specific commit that I couldn't just diff for. It's like good comments in software. Half the time, you're doing it for your future self.

Most people won't shrug off the loss of a material investment of over a thousand dollars.

It's not that it's a controversial political view, it's that it's really not relevant to this discussion.

They should have just called them riots, then. "I remember hearing that in certain protests a couple years ago" or "I remember hearing that in certain riots a couple years ago" would both work. The wording as-is is pro

AI is not human. Machine learning isn't the exact same thing as human learning. Treating them as exactly the same is disingenuous.

I don't want anybody to feed any of my work into a model at all without following all the terms of the licenses of my work. If my work is used to generate, via a computer program, a derived output, then you need to follow my licenses.

I think this is the better question, given that the current major use of AI is to launder copyright away from the work of mostly independent artists.

FLAC is lossless. Any audio CD ripped and encoded to FLAC will be the exact same accuracy as WAV.

Some percentage of managers, including hiring managers, will also suck, and these can make crappy employees out of people who otherwise have potential to be good.

Slightly inefficient, because it repeatedly loads http://endless.horse/legs.html . Would be better to keep it inline and just clone it and insert it endlessly.

Why not use Firefox's search engine keyword to just make it use Wikipedia directly, or duckduckgo with !w ?

The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean is a really good modern fantasy about families of monsters (based mostly on vampires) that eat books. Probably my favorite book of the year.

I agree with "evil" being melodromatic of a term. I was just using it for consistency. Bad behavior being eventually codified into a standard because implementations were lax and it's impossible to go back on what everybody

Even a purely software construct, it's evil. If you flexibly receive, then popularly wrong data becomes the new standard.

I used hjkl scrolling for about a decade with Dvorak. In fact, I learned to use Vim for the first time on Dvorak. The muscle memory makes it work just fine, even when not all the keys are on the home row.

I'd take anything Wu says with a boulder of salt. She's an extraordinarily unreliable narrator.

Pretty corporate for my tastes. Maybe it's just coming from Advent of Code, but a whimsical framing with elves and dwarves sounds nice.

Can you come up with one? Given the specific problem, I find it challenging to come up with a different analogy for the same concept.

It's a spectrum. Most people understand that when they interact with a store, that store can and will use that data in pursuit of operating their business better. Very few people are blanket against any and all use of data about custom

Most white people won't have experienced that, because we're not ever in a situation where we can personally see a black person be pulled over by the police.
