I think it might be provable that you'll eventually hit a loop. EDIT: I suppose one disproof would be the existence of articles that don't have a second link.

More info on this? Unless I'm misunderstanding something, in my own test, this isn't true. You can hit loops, e.g. the page for Russia goes to Eastern Europe which goes back to Russia.

Sometimes, there's value in providing a standard way of doing things. Even if it isn't perfect in all cases (or even a median case), then at least most people coalesce around how it's used and its limitations. But yeah, somet

For me, I tend to think of "3x" and "cheaper" as separate operations. So "3x cheaper" sounds like you're saying new_price = price - 3*price . That (usually) makes no sense, so I assume people mean somethi

How would one demonstrate a character who is so powerful that they can "just fucking vanish " without having them do just that? You could go on to explain that fact or similar, but I think driving home that point any more than

Chekhov's Gun is but one playwright's opinion on what makes for "correct" dramatic structure. As others have also stated, Tom is one of my favorite characters purely because he is left so unexplained. Tolkien sought to

The 128GB model was selling for $300 before this hike. Source: looking at a Best Buy listing right now for it (no sales or anything like that mentioned).

In general, I think it's easy to conflate simplicity with ease. Ease is always a matter of context and what one is familiar with. I agree that Rust is simpler than C++ and I think a lot of people mean that Rust isn't easier (up fr

While I intend to learn more Rust, compatibility with existing code is a big reason why I'm paying attention to Zig. It's not yet 1.0 and it's closer to C than C++. However, because it's meant to compile and interop with

My main exposure to this technique was with the various in-game plugins one could install on a hacked Sony PSP. Even though I had an interest in programming from a young age, before learning how to use those plug-ins, it hadn't really

Because taxpayers are on the hook anyway when billionaires risk too much and their companies end up getting bailed out. Except now we've collectively spent even more than we likely would have so that they could, in the meantime, buy se

I should clarify, as I think we're saying the same thing in different ways. I don't equate "skunkworks" with high risk. To me, that's not "risk" as much as "I don't care about monetization in the

Perhaps part of the problem is that we incentivize high-risk ideas too much.

You bought the car. You're free to put whatever fuel in it that you like, but anything other than our own Super Xtreme CarFuel Plus is not supported (and will likely total your vehicle). A bit more seriously: there are shades of grey.

Well, I would tweak that to say "there's no perfect/ideal OS (for everyone)". A lot of what makes a good UI (which is the main part of the OS we've been talking about) is that it takes relatively little effort for t

I've been using a similar one as well. Specifically, the RK68 Pro. The Bluetooth is... okay. It takes a few seconds to wake up, but it doesn't turn off for about 30 minutes. Battery life has been fine with BT 5.0. I want to say so

You still have to integrate your application with the chain, which I'm not sure whether that amounts to more or less money/risk than just managing it yourself or some other centralized platform. From a user perspective, it's

The core builtins help you to write idempotent playbooks, but it is far from a guarantee. One simple example would just be to use the command task, which executes an arbitrary command. You, the developer, are responsible for telling Ansible

I think you and I are in agreement. By not focusing on mass market appeal, raspi isn't reliant on massive (traditional) ad campaigns. I see this as a feature, not a bug.
