I've not given up drinking, because I think it's a genuinely marvellous thing, especially with a good meal, but I've confined myself to drinking on four occasions in the year. Four days for Christmas, four days for Easter, an

That's full of sugar - complete disaster.

No, just that there's no reason that your instant messages can't be used against you, and in some organisations, regulations mean that the chat history has to be logged and kept.

More importantly these days, have the same thought every time you write a comment on Slack or Teams.

I'm not so sure. Sounded like apologism to me, which is dangerous, frankly.

Fair point - my argument is that it added a load of additional garbage on top. It clearly didn't achieve anything substantially positive, and it hasn't done anywhere it's been tried.

Absolute rubbish. This is a classic trope of the fully-brainwashed. The bread queues that resulted from collectivised agriculture that couldn't respond to market conditions had nothing to do with feudalism. The mass-murder of the middl

As per this post, if a lot of people have forked your repo in the past, then you're stuffed.

This is more of a problem if you leak private information with a commit by accident. You can't really revoke that.

It's absolutely open source, under the Apache license. If a nascent community takes it and runs with it then the public version will become dominant.

I'm slightly cautious about that contribution. The author describes the focus of her work as being that of 'changing society', albeit largely on encouraging breastfeeding. If someone is a campaigner rather than a disintereste

Please try quitting entirely. My cold turkey took a week and a half and involved intense muscle pain (going from drinking a coffee and a tea each day). I believe the caffeine was building up in my system, although I could be wrong. I strong

Yep - raising my hand here. I've completely given up caffeine (including decaf, which isn't totally) because after I got a Fitbit, I realised that my morning coffee spiked my heart-rate to 120, and kept it thereabouts, slowly drop

So this was a criminal offence. Who goes to jail?

My hypothesis on this is that the zeitgeist has moved on from microblogging. Post Muskification, the whole thing fragmented into Mastodon / X / Threads, and no new leading platform emerged because the kids are all on Tiktok anyway

On aggregate it is. How many deaths over the average for these conditions did we see?

So SWI appears to be more performant, it has an open license, so as per the GGP's claim regarding Scryer in the post above, it must not be ISO-compliant?

The ZX Spectrum Next is exactly this.

I suppose if people actually want to change this [completely unsurprising] gender bias, then we'll have the go the way of the eerily accurate "Demolition Man" and start subconsciously training men to become seamstresses.

I've switched to eating meat on four festivals during the year. The rest of the time I'm pescatarian with dairy. I've not done it for any ethical reasons besides my own health, but I do feel healthier for it. Without the fish

Populations are rising across the globe and our relative wealth is decreasing to the point where importing food will become as unaffordable as it currently is environmentally deleterious.

Or a negative net migration policy. We can't support our current population with our available agricultural land, and our biodiversity is in crisis. Converting our existing natural environment into farms would be stupid, as would turni

Collaboration tooling. It's particularly egregious as - particularly once you get past 250 members of staff - it's a plainly inferior product. https://www.statista.com/chart/20028/daily-active-users-of-s.

I'm particularly aggrieved by the publishers who try to modern-wash Enid Blyton stories. Really exciting and living prose gets turned into bland nothingnesses. It's depressing.

I'm not surprised the school didn't invite you back. Was the school outreach programme organised by your employer?

This problem is compounded by a certain class of neuroscientist, who upon hitting the hard (scientifically unresolvable) problem of consciousness, declares that consiousness is something else, like neural correlates of stimulation. This inv

Yep, enormously frustrating. Search 'minecraft granite' and the top result is still Fandom. EDIT: Hell, even 'Minecraft Wiki' still goes there.

I've read a lot of Asimov, from Foundation to the Black Widowers. But never Susan Calvin. Thanks for the recommendation.
