Well if the feed doesn’t contain older entries, it’s impossible without something like the Wayback machine (and I doubt they store rss feeds)

Relativity. If they could add that way, you would get 300 megameters/s, which is breaking the speed of light.

In my experience, PB pretty much does nothing. UBO already blocks trackers and social media buttons, and if it doesn’t, you can turn on those filters. PB doesn’t even block the trackers until it “learns” that they are trackers, it just avoi

No it doesn’t. It has finite instructions for the loop body, and then one jump instruction for the loop.

Would you say that an infinite loop has infinite lines of code?

Not cheating as in “it might not work,” cheating as in “it trivializes the exercise.” The point of making a quine is a programming challenge. If python had a function called “quine()”, I would still call it cheating even if it worked 100% o

I mean, obviously. I would say it counts as cheating though. It’s on the same level as opening the source code file and printing it out.

Freer as in freedom. There would be less incentive to build massive centralized surveillance networks to serve targeted ads if ads did not exist.

Good. A web without ads and ad companies is a freer, fairer, and more decentralized web.

Snapchat is still massive and influential. My snapchat username is still probably the first thing people my age will ask me for. Yes of course it’s not as influential as facebook or google, since it only has one product, but don’t act like

It’s an issue that’s difficult to distill in a way that could work as a law or as a winning argument against snarky commenters playing Devil’s Advocate. In theory the line between rules and censorship is vague and grey, but in practice it’s

Good for you. Most people, however, care a ton about the aesthetics of a webpage. And most people don’t even know what reader mode is. Also, not sure how your second paragraph is at all related to the article.

I like this post a lot. It’s rambly, but you can tell that the author has been mulling it over for a while and it just feels very personal. It feels like I just got a glimpse of the workings of the author’s mind.

Am I missing something? The author says that a solution to the Post Correspondence Problem with infinite dominoes in finite time is impossible. He then writes a bunch of C++ code that can solve the PCP for any arbitrary list of dominoes. Di

It increases with the amount of effort you would spend. If you value your time at $150/hr and you _would_ spend 3 hours looking for them, the tickets are worth $505 to you, even if you spent 15 minutes looking for them. Then, if someon

Okay, not no incentives, but incentives that match up with our own. I doubt the maintainers of ungoogled chromium have a secret agenda to take over the browser market. Their incentive is that they dislike google and they want a good browser

Have you ever heard of open source browsers like ungoogled chromium or pale moon? They have no incentives and are far better than brave’s, who wants to sell you advertising.
