It would be even cooler if it found books of "Stanisław Lem" with the correct name as well as its ASCII equivalent "Stanislaw Lem".

> True, but by the same token the West (and the rest of the East, and the world) has no economy without China. It makes everything higher stakes for everyone involved. Both EU and US would actually benefit from manufacturing moving back.

Sure, let's forbid anything that closely resembles something younger than 140 years. That will incentivize everyone to create! /s Just abolism this censorship nonsense. Culture wants to be free.

Yes. At some point large swaths of US populace will be asked to choose between housing, food and life saving drugs in an ultimate rent-seeking race of the 21st century. Hopefully, at some point people will finally say "enough is enough

I've seen some calculations suggesting that the speculators will buy up anything at this point. It's impossible to build enough. Partly because buying up new houses protects the investment into the already owned. Also, what makes

Neoliberalism is super entrenched here. It is almost impossible to create a state/county/municipal IT department that would actually have enough sysadmins. All such departments rely almost entirely on external suppliers. One way t

I would like Linux distributions to ship a system wide telemetry service that can be enabled / disabled at the installation time or anytime later on. This service would be guaranteed to be unidirectional, would store data publicly on n

Domain specific languages. They always end up being hacks in Python and are almost impossible everywhere else. Numpy, various ORMs and so on. Since you get a built-in de-facto compiler (macro expander), implementation of such DSLs is pretty

In the end, you are not going to be paid for drawing everything all over again. You are going to get paid for devising a unique style to match the creative vision of the movie, series, book or whatever and for tweaking the machine outputs.

I am there with you. If only we could somehow make the public sector hire it's own personnel, pay it well and let it build the rockets instead of feeding either Boeing shareholders or the narcissistic idiot. Most people convinced of pu

Media currently amplify anomalies, which misrepresents probabilities, leading to wild swings in human behavior due to miscalibration. At least that's my take.

If only my screen had issues with the picture. Instead, its internal clock lags behind the source, causing audio to be ever more delayed. It resets after a standby/wake-up cycle, though. It's annoying to restart TV after about 3 h

It's just about personal aesthetics. You no longer like yourself, so you went and started to change yourself to better fit your new aesthetic sense. Obviously the sense is informed by what you perceive. You higher could be pretty low f

I second this. What has worked for me in the past to get away from reading morsel-sized content and back into reading long prose was a lighthearted, but captivating book. I have read something from Terry Pratchett and by the end of the book
