I just started into "The Island" which reads like the counterpoint to "Brave New World" also written by Huxley. Saying we need it is not enough, because it doesn't get cited even though it exists.

The opposite: Earth rotation is measured by the camera and can't be easily distinguished from camera rotation relative to earth. So image stabilization will also correct for earth rotation, which is undesirable.

Ah ok, so the squabble is just whether the `keepassxc` package is the full or the limited version. That's no biggie but I can see how it's annoying when people raise issues upstream after downstream disabled features.

It's not clear to me what the deal is supposed to be about. Isn't it expected that Stackoverflow questions and answers can be used by anybody including to train models? If Stackoverflow is trying to make exclusive deals with Opena

My reading is that the Debian maintainer disables features at compile time that are pretty basic to the Keepass package. And upstream disagrees about the features getting disabled in the Debian package. "Secure by default" has its

I'm often left scratching my head about what behaviour a test was even supposed to test! One thing I find very helpful is to add my expectation as string message to every assertion in the test. When the test fails, it will tell me whic

True. Sometimes the disconnect bothers me more, sometimes less. There's the hilarity of having fanboys agree with me, which happens sometimes when Tesla's on the menu.

I don't think I've ever copied enough from Stackoverflow for copyright to become relevant. Rarely more than one line verbatim. It embarrasses me to think that somebody should feel obliged to cite me when they use one of my answers

Why should a CEO be responsible for their employees if they could instead take a huge pay package which they are obviously entitled to given they have to work around their lying employees? That too was sarcasm :-) You shouldn't be too

The way I understood it went down for the CEO: 1. Made optimistic claims about future product. 2. Some of the people tasked with implementation disagreed about optimistic claim. 3. Those people got fired for underperforming. 4. All people o

There was this thread[0] around here about one buyer of FSD who took Tesla to small claims court and Tesla settled with them. Looks like it's easy enough to do. It's just that Tesla demands gag clauses in the settlement which may

The worst thing about Civilizations and its clones is how these games predispose one to think in terms of eternal aggression between states. It's a really bleak game. Where chess is a battle, Civ is a never ending war. The game is over

I'm more worried about the legal department not restricting themselves to legal opinions. On a newspaper, you'll want lawyers who are willing to field fights with powerful outside entities. If these lawyers are not open to the ide

Thanks for the details. It is always interesting how the most innocent things are seen as danger by an autocracy.
