I recently found that my city of Bristol, UK has the same [1] along with one for green spaces [2] and loads more at [3]. Fun to explore. [1] https://opendata.bristol.gov.uk/datasets/7a99218a4bf347ff948... [2] https:&#

It would be nice if when you fail, it tells you the answer rather than switching screens.

As stated in the GitHub thread [1]: You fundamentally misunderstand our program when you use the word plugin. These are built in features, not plugins. The features can be enabled as desired by the user and they come disabled by def

It feels a bit off to me. Even just small things like "trillion electron volt" as an expansion of "TeV" instead of "tera-electronvolt". No one in the field says the words in full anyway, it's always just &

When they say they removing their Allegro dependency "eliminated 123,024 lines of code from the game" I assume this is because they'd vendored in the code?

Ignoring the fact that that's a stupidly large payload for a statically displaying two words, the JS code in there is weird. I mean, who comments code like this: // 23.1.3.33 Array.prototype.toReversed ( ) CreateMethodP

I think they mean use "--wrap=0" instead of "-w0" as it's a little better self-documenting for those who come across your script. In general I always try to use the long-form options in scripts as readability is mor

I think you're thinking of "Akonadi", a service used for calendars, contacts, emails, RSS etc. It famously originally came with a MySQL server dependency (though I think that it might now work with SQLite).

I agree, it always feels strange putting my root password into a box that just popped up. True, it's only ever been in direct connection with a command line program I'm running, but there's nothing hard linking the terminal w

A "factoid" is not a "small fact", it is "something that looks like a fact" (cf. 'android' or 'humanoid'). A better word for this kind of small fact would be "factlet".

To me the "current branch" means, if I make a commit, what will be updated to point at the new commit.

It's a shame the FSFE's FLA ( https://fsfe.org/activities/fla/fla.en.html ) isn't used by more groups. It allows you to provide some rights to the organisation (e.g. suing for license violations on yo

Yes, I'd be interested to see how it compares if it's limited to input frequency more similar to a human and then run that second test against Wirtual. I think though, that the main reason that it's almost always beating huma

I thought they made it very clear and talked at length that the shape isn't the key important factor. They do also then go on to talk about the benefits of different shapes and why they are chosen.

It's not clear to me what the benefit of this over just running Linux is though.

I assume that it's because people are still struggling to move away from 8.3 filenames ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.3_filename ).

Are you referring to things like the boolean "NO" string (i.e. the "Norway Problem") or another issue?

They're really trying hard to avoid saying what kind of "models" these are. I think they're language models, but it's hard to say for sure.

No they're not. They demonstrating how unethical surveys can, if portrayed improperly can appear to show different results. There is a difference between fiction and reality.

This is a problem with the way the data is presented and the questions asked, but there's a 10 point swing between "not opposed" and "in favour", and likewise between "not in favour" and "opposed&quot
