How is Linux going to do this?

But Wikipedia promises you that it will modify its content. They're transparent about that promise. An archival site (by default definition) promises you that it will not modify its content. And when it does, it's no longer an

What am I missing about this use case? It seems like you should just create `build/.gitignore` with `*` in it and `add -f` it and be done. I'd use `.gitkeep` (or an empty `.gitignore`) if I needed to commit an otherwise-empty hier

No, not like that. There's a difference between a site that: 1) provides a snapshot of another site for archival purposes. 2) provides original content. You're arguing that since encyclopedias change their content, the Library of

Very cool! I'm struggling to recall if I ran into you at CSUC, though--close timing. My memory isn't what it used to be. :)

This is great! I love it when people take bits of history that works be forgotten and put them out in the world (to be further vacuumed up by Internet Archive). Thank you for doing it.

They don't, in particular. They venerate people who have done amazing things.

No kidding. He deserves better.

I like the line of thinking from an earlier commenter: when an AI company no longer has any humans working, we'll know we're there.

I'd always imagined that AGI meant an AI was given other AIs to manage.

A lot of these apps already have free versions and businesses still stick with the paid ones. There's value in someone else taking responsibility.

I agree. If it can be launched from the command line, it deserves a man page.

One of Gallup's priorities is probably to not piss Trump off.

I also predict an explosion of work for qualified devs. And I predict there will be an undersupply of them.

I think you can invert GP's point #2 for that one. Here's a start: end immunity and masks for ICE. This will naturally improve things. But that's not all. You can also naturalize people who are being productive citizens.

It's been a long time and our memory only goes so far back. I'm not even that old, but the time between WWII and my birth is waaaaay less then my current age. Jimmy Doolittle was still hosting Christmas specials on TV when I was a

Ideally they get snatched up by a competitor with more vision. You know who processes more volume than one guy with AI? Six guys with AI. I think it'll take the market a minute to relearn this. The only thing that makes me happy about

To elaborate a little, I told them that usually during this process you'll bounce back and forth a little bit. You'll notice while your coding something up there was something you didn't understand and so you drop back, under
