Yep, that's kind of the main problem :) Hence the need for some manual curation. (e.g. ClearURLs seems to do it here https://github.com/ClearURLs/Rules/blob/master/data.json ) For 80% of sites just t

I have an idea for a project (I call it 'cannon' for now)[0] which would 'canonicalize' URLs and extract semantic information from it, ideally just by looking at the URL, without doing any extra requests. For example, a

I'm not a devops/sysadmin, but for a personal setup have had a great experience with pyinfra! It's such a relief doing it in a real programming language instead of figuring out how to write a for loop or contatenate strings i

Also I think the analogy doesn't quite work because a truck is a truck. You can do some customization, you might (or not be) able to change some parts, or being a mechanical engineer you might even be able to repair it or enhance. But

oh, nice trick, thanks!

Yeah, the only downside of tmate is that you need to add/uncomment the line with it, push, then remove the commit again. It's much nicer in circleci, for example where you can simply rerun wish SSH in a button click. Even better w

Hmm, what do you mean? If you type the thing you're iterating over, the type of variable will be inferred?

GUI is better for discoverability of the most common scenarios (I can right-click to see everything that can be done with the file, including some third party programs). But it's bad for composing programs and interoperability, often i

IMO as long as there is a healthy CI pipeline which people can check to see how to build/test things, ultimately it doesn't matter much.

Literally any real language would be better. Even if I have to learn a bit of it to write pipelines, at least I'll end up with some transferable knowledge as a result. In comparison, if I learned Github Actions syntax, the only thing

I know very little about chess, but to me it feels that any such activity is kind of relative to how exactly you're engaging with the activity, and what skills you already possess. Arguably, if it benefits you via learning new things&#

I feel like 'sap' is maybe a bit strong of a word here which might trigger many people. I think that we shouldn't judge others' hobbies on some intellectual basis and that people need some downtime and rest. It's fi

Sure, this sound reasonable. But you needed scientists to figure out at some point that it's optimal for most people to eat some things, and not other. E.g. you can stay lean eating only fruit, but you'll lack some micronutrients.

This heuristic sadly doesn't always work, it's like saying you don't need "food science" and should just go for that sugary drink if you want it, or not exercising because you're not feeling like it

I mean, don't you risk all your data when you install an app on your computer? Certainly, but it's not the reason to lock down the computer experience for everyone. I appreciate the 'apps as containers' by default. But i

Yet we use it to reason about things, so formalizing and finding inconsistencies leaves less space for exploiting it. Also even though math is backed by a formal system in theory, in practice no one has time to completely verify mathematici

It is quite a bit more readable comparing (for example) to what you'd do in Python, basically a matter of few extra quotes. Here's an example https://github.com/magnars/dash.el/blob/a17b6b54098258914
