Using this threads sidearm to promote YouTube Premium is pretty much beside the point. I wasn't trying to emphasis my particular dislike for ads. In fact, if the ad is haflway decent, or even interesting, I dont mind getting the occa

I regularily see shady ads as well. This is the actual outrage IMO. Before going off and create a corporate censorship network, they should at least apply some "standars" to what they let through on the ad side. But I guess it i

You mean like when tibet was invaded, and the whole world immediately joined forces to stop that. Hmm. I think it is more "what is close to the west is important to the west". People dont count, not even today. Money and econom

This is probably the biggest problem. Trust in government due to bad decisions and outright lies is eroding rapidly. Worldwide. In a few months, the willingness to cooperate from citizens will be almost zero. Rightly so. If I catch some

But how unlikely is it really, given the history of her husband?

Aha. Very trustworthy. 70% of the ads I see on youtube are borderline scammy. Shady investment thingies, sometimes outright scam. But YouTube is filtering bad content now, aha. Double standard at its best. Puritanism I guess. Maybe i

Same here. I felt like the book could actually end after the remaining women decided on genetic manipulations. What followed thereafter was quite boring, and I stopped reading it as well. Actually sad, because the backstory is likely jus

This somehow reminds me of Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. Its not the same story of course, but I cant help but think of the book.

Thanks for pointing at R. I was actually idly wondering what language that is. The <- seemed to point at Haskell, but the parens for application immediately killed that theory. While I have dabbled in many languages, I haven't ha

Most code is bad code. And if it is not algorithmically bad, there are many other errors lurking in dark corners. I am a HPC cluster admin. Many years ago, we had a (for us back then) rather large project. Several million hours of CPU ti

Thanks for pointing me to english grammar lessons I couldn't care less about. Or is it lesser, whatever. No, I wasn't trying to do a subtle joke about obese americans. But now that you inspire me, I will consider it in the futur

Because it is obviously a competition between countries. "We managed to get through with less casualties then country X, so we are superior."

Very nice. I am hoping for semantic editing to make it into Haskell mainstream since I saw idris-mode in action for the first time. Even if it is just a small step sometimes, watching your editor write code for you based on what is alread

Was it always like that? Did people only write free software to eventually get hired by someone for their great side project? I never wrote any code to impress someone. I always wrote code to learn things, for my own benefit. And yes, us

And disney ruined the star wars franchise like nothing else. The sequels are such a punch in the face of fans of the franchise.

I still remember the title of this article before it was edited. It felt more honest before the edit.

Well, the universe is unfair and doesnt give a damn about the concept of humanity. It feels like we are systematically forgetting about this fact. Dont get me wrong, I am happy that humans have amanged to establish at least a few rules of

I have a similar thing going since a few years. Go to work for 8 hours. Come home and sleep on the couch for 3 to 4 hours, followed by another 4 to 6 hour period of hacking. I feel like I totally understand the concept of fiesta since I

There is nothing weird about this. If you are not allowed to collect/archive certain data, you are not allowed to do so. This is not limited to customers. And that is good.

In my limited experience, I feel the contrary. Since I have my USB-C dock, I actually ditched my desktop. Something that took me until 2019 to actually pull off. One cable for power and all the data transfer I will ever need.

Same here. During lockdown, my sleep schedule actually drifted a full circle around the clock.

Racket is fun. You can indeed use it to write about any language you want, not limited to Lisp-alikes. https://blind.guru/MarioLANG.html

+1 Thanks for this comment. I hear this a lot from people who actually know about F/LOSS but were not able (or interested) to switch from proprietary solutions because their needs are simply not handled in an appropriate way by F&#x2F

Sure. All the free software we use today has been written on some sort of secret contract, everyone has been paid for their work. Unfortunately, tehre is no money to fund accessibility. So we cant do anything about it. But we still advoca

No matter how many (20 year old) examples you might find, asking to deweaponize the police is still an extremely dumb thing to do.

I have been spending the last year listening to audiobooks illegally posted to youtube. It is obvious (to me) that youtube is deliberately not removing this sort of content in a timely matter because it actually serves them well. Users li

USA politics are infectious. For instance, a local politician in my country recently demanded that we deweaponize our police. We dont even had incidents like in the USA. But hey, the americans are asking for crazy shit, so why aren'

Not again. Every 5 years or so, a story like this makes the news. People will walk up to me, ask me if I have already heard about this ground breaking development, and if I am already registered to receive my upgrade! Resolution is as low
