Here's what their server stack looks like: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_servers Lot of replication and caching in there. For every cache there has to be a solution for how we're gonna make sure I

The problem with unbounded page width is that the content often didn't work well that wide. I use a 1440p monitor and on the old theme, paragraphs were often a bit too wide to read comfortably. As a Wikipedia editor, it was also very o

Defamation law in India is pretty bad and leans way more in favor of someone making an accusation of defamation than in favor of free and open speech. https://www.codastory.com/authoritarian-tech/rahul-gandhi-cr...

Wikipedia doesn't currently have the technical ability to block a single article on a country basis. They had 36 hours to comply with this order and so took what action they could. The goal is to win the long-term appeal battle and avo

It's a valid HTML tag indicating that its contents are not HTML but instead SVG. The contents of a <script> tag are also not HTML, but we still consider <script> to be an HTML tag.

Eh, I mean if GitHub does something really crappy, it wouldn't be _that_ hard for them to move to GitLab or self-hosted. Git remains a free and open standard.

If you have the paid version of Acrobat, the built-in redact tool is pretty nice. It lets you just highlight the text you want gone, but it will properly remove that text and the image.

???? I would imagine the average surgeon is much happier with their compensation than the average DoorDasher. It's a reliable fixed-rate salary vs wondering if you'll get enough $3 tips to make rent this month.

Might be your neighborhood -- stores with a low shrink rate might be more lax about inspections. I've only encountered it a few times myself but I'm also not the primary shopper in my household.

There is some overlap with that case, but also some major differences. Psystar was distributing computers with a modified version of Mac OS X preinstalled, whereas Yuzu is not modifying or distributing any Nintendo-copyrighted materials. Ho

Is... is this about trans people? Am I understanding you correctly? Are you suggesting a causal relationship between the use of PFAS and the visibility of trans people in society?

No, it is very specifically and deliberately fair use. That is the primary intended purpose of fair use. The New York Times doesn't own the news; they just own their articles.

Read the post; they've made it free now. They said they'll consider charging again if/when things stabilize.

Wikipedia articles are kinda meant to be a broad view of a subject that is approachable to a general reader with no prior knowledge. You can write an article about Pikachu or Squirtle that is relevant to this type of reader. Can you really

Doesn't really seem like they came around to some great moral realization. I think they just saw the writing on the wall and decided to put on a friendly face to try and get a few favorable provisions thrown in.

Yeah, definitely a potential problem on the smaller language Wikipedias as the Scots Wikipedia incident shows, but for the big ones, low-quality content from new editors is not really a new problem to deal with.

The Wikipedia community has generally been pretty resistant to allowing fully AI-based tools in. We've had tools such as Lsjbot ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lsjbot ) in the past, but they've failed to gain c

This is not how U.S. copyright law works. In order for something to eligible for copyright protection, it must be "fixed in a tangible medium of expression". Someone's exact words can be copyrighted, but their ideas or their

I spent forever trying to find a YouTube video that was precisely 16m18s, and when I finally did, the video ID included periodic elements and Roman numerals that broke my earlier rules, and I gave up. Fun game though!

They're still alive (most of them anyway)! Imagine looking up your own Wikipedia page and they've got a photo of you from 40 years ago. That'd be rude! It's like pretending they're already dead just because they&#x2

I think it's also just the growth of the industry in general. Tech enthusiasts care about privacy, but your average consumer is unconcerned. Only 26.2 percent of US households had an internet connection in 1999,[1] so the tech enthusia
