In the case of Facebook they absolutely do not try to please me. They quite literally tries to do the exact opposite of everything I would like from my feed. Chronological with the ability to easily filter who I see, and who I post to. On e

In regards to a predictive model and privacy/ethics/etc, regardless of your objective function and explicit parameters a model can only be judged on what it actually predicts, thus it is enough to answer the prior question to be a

At least in Europe it wasn't a major part of decisions. When it was published, it mostly corroborated what people here were already seeing, that urgent care facilities got - or were going to get - overwhelmed in a few weeks if contact

It's fair to say that BitTorrent main use cases can not be said to have been in most copyright holders best interest, but as always, the details are important. I don't personally think BitTorrent is super useful to most phone owne

YMMV, but for me ut turns my computer into a simulation of a space heater even when I'm not sharing my screen, and those gigantic unhidable toolbars makes me feel like I'm playing whack a mole more than working a times. Oh, and ye

I'm entirely mystified how people can get pip to work for anything that isn't either quite simple or is a shrink-wrapped product with carefully, and manually, selected versions of every component. Anyway, conda isn't really

Organized crime in Sweden likes grenades and some similar explosives, largely because they - by accident - was legal to import a couple years back. Grenades became much easier to get ahold of than handguns, which have had some weird effects

Not a lawyer, but I have previously contracted one to evaluate and discuss something closely related, which are the Swedish laws about non-compete clauses in employment or contractor contracts. In summary. They are allowed to some extent,

While I feel I only partially managed to capture how I think about it, because I surely have thought about it a lot, as I've seen places where critique flows like water - easily and without much strife to anyone - and places where any

If the community is openly acerbic, toxic, autocratic, etc it sometimes becomes less of an issue because you know exactly what to expect, and expectation management is important for people. If I in the past would have felt I needed to send

The opinion that the software isn't that good for the problem is cheap to state, and unless the circumstances are exceptional, I would argue it quite reasonable to see it as entitlement. If someone is terribly dressed according to my t

I don't disagree, but it's also the fact that for some of us the option to learn to ignore people can be a decade long struggle, if possible at all. It's not that I don't think you get that, you probably do. I just neede

It's his project. If he wants to act in a way you call "childish" - not that I agree with the characterization - neither I, you, or anyone else has much of anything to complain about. If he says it's production ready, I

Publicising a project doesn't imply anything. If people come to rely on your project, you are not more responsible. I've been in the business since before open source was much of anything but a dream, and frankly, I wish a lot of

I'll be blunt too. If you use other peoples work for free and makes demands, then you should really stop using others free work and start paying for what you need. It's your responsibility to choose what code you use, and unless t

You don't get to invoke professionalism, or lack thereof in regards to some individuals work they've made available for free. Open source gives you access to source code to do with as you please. Storing your own copy is a good id

It would be nice if that were to be the case, but it is not. Almost all well known, professionally made fonts are licensed, with different cost based on the intended use of the font. The font licensing FAQ page for Microsoft Windows system

Not taking a position on this case/article, it seems a complex situation which I can't fully evaluate. However, research reports are written for their results, not their conclusion. The conclusions are often less formal and somewh

Regarding the missing pin in Boeing's test last month, I find it quite strange that a physical verification "touch test" wasn't performed by default if it was/is possible. This is obviously based on extremely limite

My high school teacher in chemistry was a bit of an original. Dedicated and ambitious, and maybe a little bit crazy. In our 2nd and 3rd year we did quite 'serious' organic synthesis labs, including bromination of benzene, which of
