Google used to prioritise search quality. About six years ago they decided to enshittify. Slop with more adverts is promoted over quality with fewer adverts. This isn't speculation. It came out in emails released as part of antitru

This is almost certainly unlawful in the UK. Phil Ivey lost a lawsuit just for edge sorting. Introducing a device is far more obviously dishonest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivey_v_Genting_Casinos

My first computer had 32KB. Reading the headline there's still a part of my brain that went "69KB? Luxury!".

Do you have a reference for this? There's been a lot of talk from ministers about reviewing contracts when break clauses allow, but I haven't seen anything definitive and this still seems to be a matter for individual departments

This is so true. When you log in to their website it bounces around through about fifteen different domains before it concludes. I'm nearly sure passport.com is still in there.

For sauerkraut you don't even need a fancy jar. I use a big old coffee jar. I cut a cabbage leaf to fit over the top of the shredded cabbage so none floats up. I weigh that down with an old spice jar. The cabbage stays under the su

This seems like an improvement. The beg banner sometimes appears above a document I am editing. This change will move it to the Start Center, which I never use. Who does? I just launch the LibreOffice app I want to use.

If an establishment wants to serve drinks with a head they should use glasses with a mark on the side indicating the measure, rather than glasses which need to be brim full. Using the latter style of glass and including a head is just ripp

By American way do you mean cutting the food then transferring the fork to your right hand for eating? Or is there some other distinction?

And it's why I don't use Ubuntu any more. I don't know if it still automatically updates and reboots, but neither do I care.

Which ones? I've just skimmed through docs for HP-GL, DMPL and Gerber, but I can't see anything.

I don't see the need for it. The only time I ever needed to graph a function was to answer a homework problem that specifically asked me to. Having your calculator do it misses the point.

Very many vector graphics standards use the idea of a current position. A distinguishing feature of turtle graphics is to have a current direction as well. It's a shame SVG doesn't. Many shapes can be specified much more concise

The article omits the most important detail in the bus summary. Is it cama? Cama is Spanish for bed. A cama bus has seats that fully recline to form a flat bed. They are awesome. Semi-cama is a reclining chair. Not flat, but comfortabl

Select a rectangle. Stroke or fill the selection. I agree it's a bit counter-intuitive, but afaik it's always worked like that.

The NHS advice is specifically not to wear a neck brace unless it is prescribed by a professional. Wearing a brace would likely weaken your neck muscles further, exacerbating the problem.

I've always browsed with javascript disabled but in the last few months (presumably in response to AI scraping) loads of sites that previously worked now don't. IMDB. Loads of open-source blogs, wikis and source repositories. C

Haskell supports user-defined operators (made up of symbols) and also lets you use functions in infix position by surrounding the name in backticks, e.g. 2 `plus` 3 rather than plus 2 3

The article talks about SMP, Stephen Wolfram's precursor to Mathematica. Apparently he has a copy of the source code, but it's encrypted and nobody can remember the password. He sets a challenge to decode it. Does anyone know i
