So maybe that's good if you want to encourage sites to find other business models that don't rely on advertisement.

They don't allow donations on content publication like patreon does, because it can be seen as a purchase. They only allow reccuring donations.

I read in a lot of articles that it is actually more terrible for a lot of tracks after privatisation in the UK. What happens is that companies focus on the most profitable tracks, so the other ones are not well maintained. An example: htt

Blocking with host files requires you to create the file on every device. You don't even have access on some device (smartphone, TVs..) DNS blocking is configured once for your whole network.

What about devices that don't have interet access ? This seems like a very bad idea, the two technologies don't move at the same speed and are totally unrelated. I think it would be even more confusing for consumers.

> USB 3.2 has the same connector as USB-C USB-C is a connector, so you cannot say "has the same connector as USB-C". It is the only connector for USB 3.2, and a connector that is compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 2. Edit: I meant i

Scripts are definitely not configuration file. I would say the line is Turing-completeness. For me, DSL are half way between configuration files and scripts. If they are not Turing complete they are configuration languages. If they are, the

Orange has always been my favorite colour, it just feels so pleasant looking at it. I wish they would explain more about the biological reasons for this.

This is only true if they have access to a ssid database. This is very expensive to build, I guess Google has one, I think they don't give you directly access to it.

So are you jealous that this thread is catching attention while yours was not? what's exactly the point of your comment?

More than one shipping cost, yes, but it should be less than twice the shipping cost. Otherwise you could just order the items separately.

Come on, look outside your own country. A lot of European countries banned unpaid internships (that are longer than a few weeks). And people find plenty of 3 to 6-month internships.

I'm going to say no because your "freedom" will hurt other people.

I don't agree at all. If you allow unpaid internship, then employers will abuse this for fields where there is a lot of unemployment. And jobless people will be forced to accept those internships because they can't find any other

But what do you mean by local? This is designed for local chat, exactly like slack. It is designed to chat with a community (an open source project, or maybe a company). In slack you need to register to every "team" you want to j

You could. It is a very low amout of money though, so I'm not sure you'll be able to afford nice computers and recent videogames. And if you wanted more money, why wouldn't you work part time, to have a more confortable life

That's because programmers know that it could be much faster if done with native technologies. Non-programmers assume this is normal and now they are used to slow apps. Also, they don't know that the reason their whole system is v

I'm eagerly waiting for https://volt.ws , which is the only app I know that plans to be a true native client for all those services (no browser, no electron). The Mac build is out, and I'm waiting for the Linux build wh

Let's say python is adding a new builtin function, like "filter". I already have a "filter" function defined in my program, so it will shadow the builtin function, and my program will still work as intended.

Volt looks amazing. I've been looking for a native IM app for a while, and I couldn't find one. I hate all those electron or browser apps taking hundred of MB of ram just to display messages. I hope it succeeds and is released soo

Big companies lobby every law for their benefits. They hire full time lobyists. Big companies can pay million $ a year for lobbying. Then the question is, does it really influence laws? Well I think if it didn't, they wouldn't s

Cars are only safe in a separated car lane, so why not ban cars, remove the car lanes and transform them into bike / scooter lanes ?

In France, I often hear comic books (bande dessinées) refered as "Le 9ème art", ie the 9th art. It is taken quite seriously, and we have some wonderful authors.

It would be interesting to see a tree map of the sizes in Linux, like how big are the drivers, the network stack, ... Maybe 99% of those 130Mb are the drivers, a lot were added to the kernel since 1997 I guess

Well of course, if you don't have 2FA enabled, the only protection is to not allow someone to steal your password. Or enable 2FA, which seems easier, and protects you from this attack.
