It's Twitter. You were expecting a nuanced, carefully planned and well thought out essay? This tweetstorm by Cory is one of the reasons why I keep trying to persuade people to get a blog (again) rather than rambling at length via tweet

Perhaps you've not yet reached an age where you frequently need to get up to pee in the night (sometimes several times) and keep the lights off to avoid disturbing a sleeping partner... ;)

Depends what you're after, I guess. If all you want is a 'slave' that does some repeatable action with specified accuracy, then an automation system is just the thing. If you're after exploring the questions around what

Furthermore they betray a Northist bias that I find disappointing in an Astronomy article, when they say, "In the Fall of 2022..." For half the terraqueous globe it will, in fact, be Spring. And anyway, I think they really meant &

It's not primarily about aesthetics, but about the ability to do fundamental science. Ugly buildings don't obstruct observation of the universe.

This is a question only a lawyer in your local jurisdiction can answer.

In my local jurisdiction it would be illegal for an employer to have any say in what you do outside work hours. They might try some restrictions via their employment contract, but in general it would have no legal effect whatsoever.

2020 has certainly introduced us to a more-than-usual quota of horribleness and stupidity, but this is right up there in the top N. Yeah, I'm likely to love the notion of half-naked wet people traipsing through my house/garden t

I suspect you're conflating/confusing subsistence farming with industrial "farming". As someone who has lived a "subsistence" lifestyle for a long time, now (decades) one can live really quite well on a "s

Migrating your profile to another (Mastodon) instance is pretty quick and easy. Did it just the other day. So in what sense do you mean "held hostage"?

I'm in the early stages of implementing my ActivityPub server just using the spec[1] and it seems simple enough to me. (I'm not doing/planning any kind of front-end to it beyond what I may need for interop tests.) [1] https:

It sounds like the provider knows everything, though... knows who it provided the tokens to, knows who consumed them. So where's the privacy shielding between me and the token provider? If that provider is likely to be Google (as I&#x2

My strategy for this has been to switch to a different browser (Brave, simply because it's Chrome-ish and runs on Linux). Since the reCaptcha network has seen this browser before I'm seldom abused with more than one or two rounds

"Trust tokens are meant to foster user trust across sites" Can anyone shed light on what exactly this "trust token" mechanism is? It sounds to me like some sort of cryptographic identifier that will enable Google to trac

My immediate question to that CEO would be, "OK, so what is it you're marketing?" In the case of open-source software, they're probably marketing consulting, books, training. (I think conferences would likely be part of

Goodbye terrestrial astronomy. It baffles the crap out of me how an authority in ONE nation can take such unilateral decisions that affect all Earth.

Pretty unlikely. GP "thinks they were cucumbers". If the plant was already fruiting, there'd be no doubt, so we conclude that the plants were still quite young. No fruit, no seed. No hazard. They're just going to be comp

Can you imagine not being able to call a German phone number from the US? AT&T's telephones still had to interoperate with (e.g.) the British Post Office's phones (and everybody else's) to remain relevant/useful. AT&
