There's a difference between thousands of climate scientists collecting, analyzing and sharing data, vs one author writing a "fact" that is hard to verify. The post above claims some of these appeared overnight or even within

The issue is, can we tell if this is cherry picked on not? I'm sure Lemoine has been speaking with Lambda for a while, did he pick the best conversation, or worse, parts of the best conversations he's had? That can make the bot lo

Ironically, Google Talk has already been on there and shows "2005 - 2013", so tells you about the accuracy of these websites.

Indeed, while not ideal, generally they've had a decent migration path. At least for the "message someone inside Gmail" usecase, as far as people are concern, for most people nothing has changed other than some slight UI. Out

So we've already had the Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe (BBP) formula for computing an arbitrary digit of pi in base 16, which by itself is mind blowing, but I just found out that Plouffe has come up with a new version for base 10. https:&#x2

Exactly this. It feels like Twitch changes things for the sake of changing them. There is not reason why their changes couldn't have been backward compatible. It's just unnecessary churn for developers, who often are working for f

I would rather have a shared and slightly less optimal cable, than a unique and "nicer" cable. USB-C is the perfect example, you can argue that lightning cable is actually nicer, but being able to charge all my different devices w

Twitch has one of the worst developer experience I've seen. I developed a set of tools ~6 years ago and they get broken by API changes twice a year. Meanwhile my similar set of Steam tools have been running smoothly for a decade. They

Nearly all of US problems can be traced back to the insanely powerful lobbying (citizen united, etc). The gun lobby, the private prison lobby, the healthcare lobby, the tax filing lobby, etc. Corporations not only buying politicians for dir

Indeed, these are very basic stuff, which may be useful for some people's workflow, but then by the time I started remember this website, I'll probably have already memorized the few flags the website profiles anyways. In my exper

I think they announced the 25$ extra few weeks back? https://www.pcmag.com/news/starlink-becomes-movable-with-new... So this seems like basically just that, branded as "for RVs"

It's an expensive upfront cost, but once the full constellation is up, they'll have basically full world coverage, and anywhere that's not a big city charges big money for internet. See how much internet in rural Canada costs

What do you mean? That one's a verb and the other isn't? I think it's fine here. The latter returns a modified version of the string, whereas the former is more like a property of the int, like it's "length", a

I generally agree that it's not worth importing operator just to get access to itemgetter. operator module has a few other nice functions though.

I was really excited to see graphlib in stdlib (despite the very limited use so far), but wow is it me or that API is.... awful. I guess it's super focused on parallel task processing but that has to be one of the least Pythonic and us

You misunderstood what I said. We evolved in a world where food was scarce, hence why we evolved to overeat once we do find food. In the past 100 years, food has no longer been scarce (for people living in a first world country), hence the

We have literally evolved to overeat. And one thing people don't consider is that genetics does play a real role. Just because it's easy for you to not overeat as much doesn't mean it's the same for others. I personally

That would not produce anything close to this. Is the goal to find similar subreddits, or find other non-similar subreddits the person may like? The map by OP is grouped by categories, which is quite a bit different than just interest. Even

Well looking at this specific feature, I believe chrome got site isolation mid-2018 and enabled it by default mid-2019. From what I can tell Firefox got it mid-2021. I don't know much about the specifics of the implementations, but tha

For me at least, the fear is not so much about the specifics, but more around the fact of what exponential curves look like. At any point, everything before looks basically horizontal and anything after looks vertical. In that sense, the fe

The definition of work is definitely important. What if your work, for example, is creating art. Would "retiring" mean no longer creating art, and just sitting at home all day doing nothing? Watching TV, eating and sleeping? The i
