I'd rather not fall for the false dichotomy at all, and instead have the algorithm ensure that I won't end up in any sort of hole whatsoever, by choice or otherwise.

It saddens me greatly that we live in a time where text documents are the "antithesis of the web"

When I first heard of it I thought it was some kind of a joke on the current state of desktop software, and a rather tasteless one at that. Then it was recommended to me where I was studying...

I will very quickly stop using a given website if it doesn't provide a good, on-site search. If I'm looking for information that I know exists on a particular website, I see no reason to involve a third-party search engine in the

I've always been under the impression that -03, -0fast and related "performance" tweaks are not recommended, and shouldn't be used unless the software in question is specifically written with them in mind.

I think it's sad whenever I see people that are very proud of just how tech illiterate they are and just how little they understand computers. It's like teenagers who brag about how badly they scored on on their exam. In many aspe

"Banana republic" implies more than what the dictionary definition is. If you look at the wealth distribution in any example "banana republic", you'll find a few very wealthy people/warlords and many dirt poor

I applaud for having the balls to post zerohedge here. I only skim the headlines most of the time but now and again, they post a really good article with in-depth information if you have the patience to see past the heavily opinionated comm

I have never had problems with sleep because of blue light from my monitors, nor can I say wether or not it's "dangerous," but in my experience it definitely does cause temporary eye strain. In a dark room, using a blue light

It's good to keep in mind that nuclear power is a (arguably beneficial and good) "halo product" of nuclear bombs, not the other way around.

Only tangentially related, I know, but I see google maps quite differently. First and foremost I want to admit that I have no good comeback to the public transport schedules, that is a good feature. But regarding mapping and navigation, goo

The author, as I see it based entirely on this one article, likely wasn't trying to "hurt their business," unless (lol) their business is unhealthy addiction. Building on your example, imagine your store was of the liquor var

This same old comment seems to show up in these threads like clockwork. Surely no one in this world is truly obligated to do anything at all, but kicking out users based on vague reasoning detriments their value as a social network.

I wouldn't use the word nihilism. I'm quite the deep-eco hardliner and in the brightest future I can realisticially dream of, power isn't reliably available to anyone anywhere they wish. Reducing energy consumption is key, no

I don't want to make any wild guesses, but something about this particular whistleblower case makes my spidey-sense tingle. Something is amiss. I suppose time will tell.

That is a part of it. Some organizations were better than others, but for certain publications/channels, it felt like their sole purpose was to coax the american public into endorsing another war, using whatever rationalizations necess

As a non-american, my picture of the american media started shattering with the Iraq war, and especially the events preceding it. It's only been down-hill since then.

It's truly mindbending that we've arrived at a point where a database like this is necessary. What a sad and horrible existence this is.

It's sad to see Mozilla go down this road, one time after another. I don't mind it if they need the money (they don't, look into their finances and come tell me with a straight face that this non-profit isn't making the

Imagine the irony of fate if they not only did that, but also had the audacity to call the resultant browser "Chrome." Makes me shudder.

Words can not express the relief it is to see a completely new web browser rendering engine being developed. It's heartbreaking that it's proprietary, my initial wish was that they'd open up after it matured a bit. Still hope

I'm interested in the SSH test, but I use a non-standard port for SSH. I've been lead to believe this is a common practice, is there an option hidden somewhere? From what I can tell it just automatically tries 22 and fails.

In my experience, Nix and Guix are nice toys, but I'm just not ready for the kind of lifestyle change they require to actually use them for anything. For me, "pinning" a package to a specific version means not downloading and

We also have something like this in my home country, but I don't think it really abstracts away "emotion", nor that it even could in theory. The questionnaires are obviously written by someone, projected through the lens of t

The way to stop nation-state-level spying is, if I understand correctly, to make it illegal? I'm not sure I follow.
