Do you think Michael Brown and the Ferguson protests didn’t contribute to the BLM movement?

Atwood didn’t write it as a possible dystopian future. Every facet of the story takes place somewhere in the world right now. She has pointed this out herself on social media.

I agree on the massive automated copyright infringement. This case isn’t as minor as the guy’s wife would have us believe.

It’s about adjusting your habits and personality with intention and workarounds for your normal mode. What’s not hackerish about that?

When I was in school, way back in the Before Times, when cell phones were expensive and smartphones were in their infancy, cards or dice would get confiscated and held until the end of the day if the administration suspected they could be u

I think in the days of DOS, the main players were WordPerfect and WordStar. Probably more than Word or any part of MS Office, MS Works was a decent cheap option that I saw a lot of places.

Deployment isn’t the problem. If you’ve pushed a new version of a feature that five percent of users use per week and you’ve pushed it to five percent of the userbase how long do you need to wait to have reliable data on that before you pus

You both make good points, and I come down on the side of adding some template mechanism to web standards. Of course, that all starts with an RFC and a reference implementation. Any volunteers?

Many of the languages that allow people to quickly develop software end up with their own tradeoffs. Some of them have unusual syntax, at least in part of the language. Many of them allow duck typing, which many consider a major detriment t

I want a merge request with a short, meaningful comment and the diffs just like I’d get from a human. Then I want to be able to discuss the changes if they aren’t exactly what’s needed, just like with a human. I don’t want to have to hold i

So if you wait to put together a representative sample of users and gather the data long enough for the numbers to matter, you’ve gated further changes. If you’ve gated further changes for a week, why does it matter that the feature change

Many boomers had parents and grandparents who lived through the Great Depression and war rationing.

Did you have grandparents who lived through the Great Depression? Were your great grandparents adults during that? Mine were. My parents also both grew up fairly poor, partly in single-mother homes with multiple siblings. The guilt about wa

Besides the point already made about firefox-esr being the default package for Firefox, here are a couple of other points. First, that also means there are 5749 installations of non-default Firefox compared to 231 of guix. Secondly, popcon

The locales package has over 265k installs in the same recent report that lists 231 copies of guix. That’s less than 0.09% or so.

Outside of working in existing vehicles without modification, what is the benefit of this over a methanol or ammonia electric fuel cell or an ammonia-burning ICE?

They are AI generated images of something that was never released as an actual photograph. People literally call things like this “deepfakes”. I feel at this point like you’re some rapey pervert who just feels entitled to the bodies of othe

In practice applying flags from a curated list is not much at all like making up new tags on the fly.

by cestith 1y ago
Not everything has to be named once and put into a hierarchy like a directory tree. Tags work well for data. A system like an LLM that understands synonyms and antonyms should be able to find and even update tags for concepts that don’t hav

Neither broke web pages, honestly. XHTML requires a DTD named at the top of the document, and browsers will happily fall back to HTML 3, 4, or 5 as they can if there’s no DTD specified.

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think spending two minutes a day on a logic puzzle is a significant source of wasted time. Honestly, I think interacting with LinkedIn comments after playing Queens is often a much bigger waste of time.
