But is being exposed to broader viewpoints or even being shown "correct" posts more often something that users of social media actually want? Social media is often seen as a public opinion manipulation machine, but I hope building

The ability to fully delete your posts on any platform is an illusion anyway, as e.g. a local politian found out. I don't really see my posts remaining in people's RSS readers after deletion as a problem. It's a fundamental

Checking what software a user is running can be done with open source software, but actually doing so takes away the user's right to run modified copies of software. The fact that it basically needs hardware-backed DRM also doesn'

SQLAlchemy has one strongly-held opinion, that there should be a 1:1 mapping between objects in a database and in memory. So if you query the database then modify the result, the change will automatically also be made in the DB. I strongly

This is an interesting conclusion to a problem other countries are facing as well. The Czech Republic fully divided its railway infrastructure (under SŽ) and national train operator (ČD) sooner than most of the EU. SŽ being incompetent is a

What's the "mature" coping strategy you've found, then? Did therapy get you to stop procrastinating?

YouTube is a good example here, because at least in the EU, you can disable any tracking. You then don't get front-page recommendations, which would normally use that tracking information, but otherwise you can use YouTube just fine.

This feels like the right moment to mention "ch", which is considered a letter in orthodox Czech, sorted between "h" and "i". The problem is, you can't reliably distinguish between "ch"-the-lette

The possibilities are endless, so I need to make sure not to get lost in them and actually get something done :) I have a shortlist of changes to make, from surface-level to harder things: - Allow configuring the controls. For example, the

Great to see another Samsung NX hacker in the wild! I'm in the process of developing a mod for my NX300 and NX30 (with the NX2000 likely compatible). It doesn't do anything yet, but I've got a lot of work done on hooking AR

Yes, but this isn't part of the digital wallet project. As I understand it, the Commision was so impatient with age-verification that they commissioned this project separately, because they didn't want to wait for the full solutio

I finally took a look at the DSA, and it only mentions anything relevant to age verification in three places: - Recital 71, which vaguely suggests minors' privacy and security should be extra-protected, but says that services shouldn&#

I did say "most", and I stand by that. Look at most of Central Europe, the Baltics, Ukraine... Even the Asian parts of the USSR mostly had peaceful transitions into independence (and often into the hands of new semi-dictators, b

With that many devices, you'd need to have them in some place with very dense cell service.

How? The US has a pretty bad record of "liberating" middle-eastern countries by military force.

It worked pretty well for most east bloc countries. Granted, they had to wait until the Soviet Union was weak to break away, but couldn't sanctions be one of the tools to get there faster?

Most Americans live in urban areas, though. I have to say that according to this PDF I found [1], a lot more US families do own forested land, but it's still a minority. [1]: https://web.archive.org/web/20250420022

So if you want your employees to be able to go back from vacation and back to their belongings, you have to pay a large fee. And to pay that fee, you have to talk to the president personally, otherwise you're screwed. That's so du

I have to admit that Americans seem to have a different perspective on land use, with the sheer scale of the country and a willingness to drive for hours to get places. If someone told me that I have to travel from Prague to Germany to go h

You might be more willing if you see it as a kind of reciprocity, your part in a scheme which allows you to hike or otherwise relax on land other than your own. And even if you never set foot on other's people property, I think it&#x27

It's a shame that they only introduced this as a feature only for single-file programs. It would make Java a much better language in my eyes if it allowed package-level methods, or even multiple records/classes per file. But appar

I don't think the comparison is quite apt, because while LibreOffice has no support for collaborative workflows (short of error-prone shared drives), QGIS can connect to quite a few geospatial databases, with third parties offering plu

Each LCD has a minimum backlight brightness, and I don't know any LCD that could be turned down enough to appear truly dark in a dimly-lit room.

Not really, since it's not just about the light intensity, but also its spectral power distribution. This especially matters when using the display in a darker environment with low-temperature illumination, e.g. when reading before bed

A similar tip: As far as I can tell, clang-format doesn't reflow across comments, so to force a linebreak you can add a // end-of-line comment.

Yes, local datetimes shouldn't be used to represent instants. But I think you can still add days or hours to them. Don't think of the hours here as units of time, just as parts of the datetime. It's the same as with months: A

I, for one, do think the world needs more CLI argument parsers :) This project looks neat, I've never thought to use parser combinators for something other than left-to-right string/token stream parsing. And I like how it uses Typ
