Meanwhile, we've been hugging with some other illegal occupiers for decades. They're even allowed to openly run lobbying groups.

That's a really low bar we're setting for our "liberal" "democracies".

That would have been a convincing argument, if we hadn't been collectively bitching (as West) for the Great Firewall of China. Or if we at least didn't call ourselves "liberal" as we're slipping down the slippery sl

You may not use it at home, but it can easily become the default in managed environments. I just wish that the focus is really on protecting citizens (e.g. block domains known to serve malware) rather than just filtering "illegal conte

I can see that having started as a marketing ploy and have very little to do with hygiene reasons. I.e., how much can one manufacturer differentiate their disposable plastic forks? Very little. They're all plastic, they're all for

I wonder, is this obsession with sanitary utensils founded on some real-life study? Or is it pure paranoia and made-up lab tests ("What would happen if I dip my fork in this anthrax solution?").

Anecdotally, salary raises work much better than Pomodoro for productivity. At least for the first few months.

AFAIK rsync has always been uni-directional, so I don't think there can be an equivalent. If you run `rsync -av --delete local://foo cloud://foo`, you are very explicit that you want files on the the cloud to be gon

I'm suspicious about your "first time in many years". What does that mean exactly? A plausible scenario that I could come up with: - You had installed sync before but uninstalled it. - You started syncing again on the same lo

I'm not sure about the value of this, as it seems to have been written in another time and not updated to reflect current realities. This is supported by the website having (C) 1993-2023. And ideed, a lot of the points would make sense

And at the bottom of all these issues, you will find the excessive copyright terms which create artificial scarcity. Just require anything older than 25-30 years to be made available for a nominal fee to any platform that wants it, with no

Yes, templating YAML is crazy. But is the answer jsonnet? That's even more batshit. Why hasn't anyone opted for a "patch-based" approach? I.e. start with a base YAML/JSON file, apply a second file over it, apply thi

What you describe is the epitome of gatekeeping. Epic developed a cross-platform game that runs on half a dozen platforms. The appeal of the game is exactly because of that. And you claim that Epic should pay 30% to Apple, because "we

Harpsichord is to my ears the bourgeoise cousin of banjo. I would start playing one when I intend to become annoying. Same with blogging.

Worse, this opens up the market for "free" websites riddled with malware. This can have much broader impact than a few teens watching the wrong video. I would guess that the "big 3" at least maintain a modicum of securit

Removing cycles may require extensive refactoring of the code, sometimes resulting in unintuitive layouts. All, just to solve the cyclic-import errors. At the core of the problem is the fact that there's no thing as "partial impor

The plan is* to return them for display in the Acropolis museum as a loan from the BM. In exchange, Greece will loan to the BM equally important artifacts (rumors include Agamemnon's death mask) to replace the sculptures. See [1], [2].

Mitsotakis' plan for the sculptures is extremely self-serving and overall sucks for Greece. It effectively legitimizes the possesion of the Parthenon Sculptures by the British Museum, overturning decades of challenging the legality of

You think anyone involved in the project cares? The money to build this crap will probably be borrowed from banks. People involved will be lining their pockets good for 5-10 years. Government will be happy for jobs created. When the project
