   There is always an alternative: no purchase at all.

   I think the complaint is that Google is "actively adjusting algorithms to control narrative" -- just in a direction that directly violates the overwhelming consensus of scientists in the field, common sense and any sense of self

   Cue a bunch of HN articles whingeing about victims of false positive flagging with no practical recourse...

   I think you're right for most cases. And that's OK. We still end up with an investment climate that's fossil-investment-averse, and that's good for the atmosphere/ocean in the long run[1] conducive to H. sap'

   And now Amazon or somebody is going to make some sort of LoTR prequel TV series!? Travesty, I say! Sheer, naked greed.

   Other interesting systems worth poking your nose into are the c.mmp and cm* architectures developed in the '70s at Carnegie-Melon. Also ncube. IIRC c.mmp was a multi-cpu-multi-memorybank setup where any cpu could connect to any memoryb

    Does it occur to anyone to mention that it might be OK for there to be multiple 'cloud' platforms out there? That it might even be a good thing ? That there does not need to be one winner (despite the fondest wet-dreams of MS&#

    If my ageing memory serves, it was the other way around: Rogue imitated vi for navigation keys.

    Nitpick: 'q' is an ed command. ('ed' Being the underlying line-editor upon which the original vi was layered.)

    They might not get the chance: latest news[1] this morning is that some of the coal seams have caught fire underground! This is catastrophic. Underground coal (and oil) fires are near-impossible to put out and are generally just left alone

    Clickbait title. Actual content: Amazon threatens disciplinary action against employees who speak in public as an Amazon employee (i.e. under the Amazon banner) on any issue without prior HR (and presumably legal) approval. This happene

    Practical parenting perspecive: Read them bedtime stories for 30 minutes or longer every evening. (I'm assuming your kids are still young enough for bedtime stories.) And that's YOU . READ . Not some podcast or audiobook. It&#x2

    I think it's a desktop problem, too. TBH I don't know how things are over in the Mac/Win world, but over here in Linux land it's... not so good. Boot used to be a small number of seconds. Now (on the rare occasions I&#x2

    So why is it persistently, perniciously and stubbornly insistent in refusing to spell 'naughty' words like 'duck'?

    Like the other solutions I've seen, this assumes you have access to your web-server's logfiles. For many (most?) low-end web-hosting this is likely not true afaik. I suspect that this is precisely the window-of-opportunity that en

    Buy/borrow an SPL (sound pressure-level) meter. I would be surprised if there is any way to 'calculate' sound level.

    Does anybody know whether `.ngo` and `.ong` -- also managed by PIR -- are part of the package? Hunting around on the PIR website produced no hint either way.

    Note that `strftime` (and implementations dependent on it - hello Python!) do not implement ISO week numbers. In `strftime` all days preceding the first Sunday/Monday (depending which date-code you pass to the function) in a year are

    It would also be good to bear in mind that First World demographics are already and increasingly skewed toward older age groups.

    I think the article addressed this. Any time the reader has to reach for an add-on or click some other button to make your site readable, they're more likely to just go elsewhere. After all, quit a bit of the article talks about font s

    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? Not going to happen because JS got disabled for the site the first time around. Site doesn't work after that? Too bad. It's not like there aren't a bajillion alternatives.
