Is that really a good article? I thought it was average. It had some big flaws but was probably still informative for readers with no mathematical knowledge in the domain. For instance, consider the only concrete example in the article: the

No, the situation about image compression has not changed. The Grand Poster you were replying to was writing about typical web usage, that is "medium-to-heavily compressed images", while your benchmark is about lossless compressio

I've read 3 out of those 5 books, and I see our preferences differ. For instance, I've a few books from Van Vogt, and I can't imagine I could like anything he wrote. - "A voyage to Arcturus" tried hard at being stra

That's not how I remember the event. The fact that "people still largely depended on edited, gatekept outlets for their reading and viewing" played no role, as far as I know. Newspapers wrote about the Sokal-Bricmont story, n

The important rule is that this works for you, but everyone has to discover their own rules. Most days, I drink 5 to 7 expressos, though there are days I don't drink any coffee, e.g. when not at home. I often drink one (sometimes two)

I think this focus on the default configuration of Caddy is a poor incentive, in a professional context. Here is the same config for nginx on a Debian box: server { server_name example.com; root /var/www&#x2F

Among the famous writers that I know through their writings, I'd expect Jorge Luis Borges and Umberto Eco to have read many thousands of books, because that wide culture was a major element of their fictions. The later did have 50,000

Thanks for explaining your goal and some of the context. I suggest that stating them prominently would help the project. When I read Mago's home page, I downloaded the latest release, followed the "Getting started" process on

I also ditched docker when I could. In my experience... Podman with pods is a better experience than docker-compose. It's easy to interactively create a pod and add containers to it. The containers ports will behave as if they were on
