It's not about language, it's about culture. If you saw someone running through a crowd with a knife you'd expect them to be thrown in prison. But someone speeding through a neighborhood? Or dangerously overtaking a cyclist?

Magnus Carlsen plays fellow humans at the game because people still care about human competitions. What motivation would a mathematician have for solving already solved problems by hand? Can you imagine someone spending years working on a p

Probably because you were impressed by whatever it produced to fill in the gaps at the time. But if you expect the models to read your mind you're going to have a bad time.

Long, slow fermentation using cultured yeast and a special Viennese style steam oven are essential for baguettes. They traditionally use soft French flour, but I'm not sure it makes the difference. The downside of baguettes is they don

Why would you play 22000 games if you didn't enjoy it? Are you saying you went through all of that because you thought it would be good for you?

It still does. I have one going through my house too. The problem is nobody else knows or cares about those meridians. It's quite fortunate the US didn't invent its own, what with its zeal for being different. We're quite luc

It's something to do with NFS. I haven't fully figured it out, but it keeps locking up for some reason. They basically say NFS is not supported.

I don't even have a huge library but it performs terribly on my system due to SQLite. Would love a Postgres backend.

Nobody should be "finding ways to use" any technology. We should be solving problems first and foremost.

Emacs "zone" mode is much cooler than this and has existed for decades.

They must have realised by now what they are selling is addictive. It's pretty normal for drug dealers and the like to give people introductory prices then hike once dependence kicks in.

India is the most populous country in the world so it's hardly a "narrow slice". Anyway, Italians and Mexicans are just as good with vegetables. Even people who like steak grind some plant on it to make it taste good (pepper)

Which is a shame because you can eat so well today you can easily skip the dead animal carcass. They couldn't really do that back then in many places with short growing seasons.

That's usually called a public IP address, aka a real IP address. IPv6 works exactly how you describe, that's the whole point of it. No NAT, just IP addresses. Some gaming consoles use it for peer to peer multiplayer so it is in d

I still remember to this day our house phone number and the numbers of my family, friends and even a payphone down the road, all from 30+ years ago. I don't even know my partner's number, or email address...

I don't know, it's stupid, you're right. But so am I. A cookie banner is asking clearance to store stuff in your browser right now and it's always tracking shit. Most of those at the top would be covered by "essenti

What's a "white IP address"? It is, sadly, more difficult than it should be, though. When everyone got online in the 90s they actually became bottom feeders and not true internet citizens. Not much has changed in 30 years. IP

How does it deal with storage? Storage is always the weakest link in self hosting. Having a bunch of stateless containers is ultimately just a fancy docker compose file. Still valuable, but you need a proper story for storage. Ideally all s

The person doing this doesn't understand how pull requests work. The issues all say "I have a version in my fork". Open a pull request then! That's the whole point of forks on GitHub. Creating an issue first is pointless

Eh? You explicitly have to add files to the stage before git will commit anything.

Git already works like this. It won't commit anything unless you explicitly stage it first.

I believe the original point was that we shouldn't be wasting our gifts on creating silly toys but rather going back to basics and finding the real problems, whether that involves software or not.

There are many ways to play a hand in poker, just as in life. Doesn't mean you don't have one. I'd love for everyone to start out with the same hand. But this is not a gender issue. This is a human issue. The sooner we realis

Have you asked women? Or even just observed their choices? Women overwhelmingly value motherhood over their careers when asked, see e.g. https://yougov.com/en-gb/articles/8791-mult-country-survey-m... There is no
