So an Italian judge ordered Italian ISPs to ban the site from their DNS. At least, most aliases, with a mouse-and-cat game of aliases, like there was for The Pirate Bay. Since Anna's Archive is increasingly well-known, I expect the sam

I had no problem understanding the grandparent's comment. Adding an intermediate layer into elections is a well-known method to introduce bias. If you control the way the vote is partitioned or aggregated, it's easy to rig the out

Bitburner is in the list, and it's an excellent game where you have to code (JS/Typescript). The date 2021 is wrong like many others in the page: it's probably the introduction on Stream, because the game goes back to 2016. I

I haven't used Calibre for years (it was annoyingly slow on a low grade laptop), but I've dealt with many epub files, and I think Calibre does a bad job when modifying them. It's easy to identify an epub that went through Cal

A large part of this guide is totally unimportant to me. I don't think I would detect a change in some of these policies. It's probably already changed in the past years, and I've never seen it while reading the Guardian dail

This is a fun hoax that was invented 70 years ago, in 1953. It was debunked at least 20 years ago, but it's still more popular than facts. There is a Tarpenhow place in the UK, but it has no hill. So Tarpenhow hill does not exist . No

Publishing a tablet is much more than identifying the characters. There's often a step of "join", a kind of 3D puzzle where you try to join fragments of a broken tablet. And of course you have to provide the archaeological co

A few weeks ago, I had a question and I couldn't find the answer with Wikipedia or with internet searches. So I asked ChatGPT. I got an answer. Even better, it was sourced... Except that the source was a Wikipedia page that I had read

That's just the top of another iceberg: features are increasingly harder to discover. I use i3wm, which is a tiling WM. There's no window borders, so this resizing feature (W-leftclick and W-rightclick) has been there for many yea

Your benchmark is more than 6 years old, on a 2014 Macbook, with a strange choice of terminals. LWN's article on the subject is almost as old, but with a better comparison: https://lwn.net/Articles/751763/ (2

I don't have a definite answer on why some writing systems decide to use diacritics why other don't. I'm not sure there is a single reason for English. But I think a bit of historical context would help. Many European languag

Basically, you want to replace statistics ("large enough samples will average out variation") with AI. I'm afraid that's cargo cult instead of science. AI can lie. It means a "truely personalized medicine" woul

As pointed by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recent_African_origin_of_moder... it seems that modern humans went of out Africa in many waves at various eras. It's not surprising, the other Homo genus did the same.

What is funny is that there's been a consensus for many years in Europe that Hominids arrived in America at least 30,000 years ago. There were several artefacts that made the hypothesis very plausible. But most North American scientist

In many cases, `cp` on the DB file won't be enough. For instance, when WAL (Write Ahead Logging) is enabled (which is much faster than the old rollback journal), some data may lie in other files aside the main DB. I once had a problem

Focusing on the financial side is okay, though I would mention that the energy cost is only half of the total cost, according to the literature. But desalination is not only about money. It has an impact on its environment, because it pumps
