Can't your users just whitelist your IPs?

I sincerely doubt that search engines run their crawlers on a single machine and they got it figured out.

Who do I send my TV to to figure out why launching the DR app (Danish public broadcaster) on my Philips TV will power on the PlayStation and then crash? Normally I'd just use the AppleTV, but the kid stole the AppleTV to watch cartoons

Even if they haven't added any cache control headers, what kind a of lazy Meta engineer designed their crawler with to just pull the same URL multiple times a second? Is this where all that hardware for AI projects is going? To data ce

The numbers mentioned by Ed Zitron in his podcast Better Offline recently suggested that a $200/mo Claude subscription allows you to spend $2300 - $2700 worth of Anthropic tokens. That's pretty bad, but better than I expected. I d

I was going to ask. I'm not big on Emacs, but ripping out Lisp isn't that removing the part that makes Emacs Emacs? Like, they removed the important part.

From experience: If you don't know Danish, please don't ever use machine translators to translate from English. Regardless of what some people may think, they make mistakes, so many mistakes. I get why it's tempting, good tra

This feels like a classic business blunder. Focus hard on a single business segment, leaving an opening in the market for your competitors. Not because it wasn't profitable, but because it wasn't profitable enough for you, right n

Sounds like you're suggesting an RFC for journalists and editors :-)

It's funny how people say that: "You'll get more conservative as you grow older". So far that hasn't happened. I basically know zero queer, poor, coloured, disabled or other types of people that might struggle to fi

Brexit was six years ago, well ten if you go by the date of the referendum, it's hardly a generation. The negative affect has been felt pretty much instantly after the UK left and the benefits are mostly either a bit fluffy, scheduled

Yes, I get those as well. Happens everything I've been looking a lifting videos for a day or two. Give it a bit more time and you'll get videos of right wing women explaining why modern women can't get dates. It is fairly con

Even if something is AI generated the author, and the editor, should at least attempt to read back the article. English isn't my native language, so that obviously plays in, but very frequently I find that articles I struggle to read a

One thought I've had is that it has to do with your level of engangement. If like me you doesn't really use social media for more than a few minutes a day (in my case I count Snapchat and YouTube Shorts, because that's what I

It's a very nice project. Me and some friends toyed with the idea of running our own IceCast server, as a way to introducing new music to each other. We eventually gave up, exactly due to frustrations with setting up and running IceCas

When people mentions the number of lines of code, I've started to become suspicious. More often than not it's X number of lines, calling a massive library loading a large model, either locally or remote. We're just waiting fo

The problem is more likely that companies like WD doesn't know if this will be a bubble or not. Currently they can milk the market by raising their prices and just rely on their current production facilities, maybe expand a little. If

AI is going to be what fiber was to the dotcom bubble. Someone spend a lot of money on a lot of infrastructure, some of which is going to be incredibly useful, but sold for much less than it cost to build. Hardware just depreciates much muc

It's a challenge for sure. The problem is that some EU countries aren't that big, and moving the government in one direction or another is entirely possible if you can just move a small amount of people to that country, which they

Note that they can vote in local election (municipal and regional) and for the EU parliament, the article does mention this, but it is a bit hidden. I think that Brexit illustrates exactly why you need to be a citizen for elections of that

Mostly those seems to be more about you as a sender wanting to do some branding or manipulation of the reader. I don't really see how it benefit the receiver, which should be the main concern of all communications.

Yes, this isn't a question about the US or Europe. Some of the absolute worst service I've received have been in the US, yet they ask for tips. I've also received some of the best service at a US restaurant, where the suggest

This might be me being old, but I still don't understand why html emails aren't the exception. If you want to do a fancy newsletter, trying to sell me crap, I can see why you'd need the images, the css and html. In most other

Standards are important, and the meaning assigned to words are important, but if your very important email does go through, because Google thinks you're wrong, you add the bloody message-id. I really do agree, I don't care about t

Apple has spend, and will spend, billions of dollars developing Siri and you use it to create alarms, reminders and events (probably more). The question quickly becomes if that money had been better spend elsewhere, at the cost of losing a

It's hard to imagine that just killing off Siri would hurt iPhone sales. It would be interesting to know how many people actually use, or even want Siri, or any type of voice assistant for that matter. The primary value of Siri is to c

Hey, that seems to work, very nice, that's one less extension.

In principle I agree with you, there is just so much crap online that it's tempting to just add this one more extension to fix something. Looking at my own installed extensions, I have a password manager, Privacy Badger and Firefox Mul

Even if you want to Notepad have clickable links, maybe not allow it to blindly allow every URL scheme known to man. It seems reasonable to limit it to do http/https and MAYBE mailto.
