The family diary I wouldn't want to have AI written. For the family encyclopedia I might be okay to be described as a biographer would about me. A family diary would be most valuable to me. Knowing what family members did last week, ad

And clean. Really, really clean. Just look at coal. A no-brainer. Go for it.

Because there isn't really a good name. In FOSS circles the name "code forge" is often used, and then OP might say "git-based code forge" instead. But both Github and Gitlab don't consider themself (and aren&#x

Regarding Forgejo [0] there are a number of other open providers listed on the delightful forgejo [1] curated list. In addition there is a Professional services repository [2] where services are listed in the issue tracker. [0] https:&#x2F

It looks to me that this refers to a 272 page PDF report [0] on the theme "Happiness and Social Media" and the Executive summary explains that it is about much more than that simple question. [0] https://files.worldha

Sure is. I was contrasting 'merits' of being listed at aggregator sites vs. having ones own website.

Sadly, at least in the Netherlands, most restaurant have to pay extortionary prices to aggregator sites like The Fork and others, that most people use to find restaurants and reserve a table. In addition they are incentivised to offer reduc

The fediverse is also generally experienced as a small web, where it comes to mindset. Though that is not always to the liking or preference of those expecting to find alternatives to big church social media platforms.

So it loses pocket change for a multi billionaire? Edit: The consideration being that perhaps billionaire toys need not be profitable per se, but are purchased for different reasons. Twitter is another example here.

Can we ascribe it all to ego, I wonder, or is it just one of several mechanics at play, albeit an important one. A Dutch saying is that there's a lid for every pot ("op elk potje past een dekseltje") i.e. that the most unlike

What is a Bank nowadays. It is nothing. It is a virtual construct and software that we are supposed to put our trust into, where banks have a history of betraying that trust.

It is not about playing new games though, but about affecting subtle changes over prolonged periods of time. You can't know the outcome, but you can help steer the right overall direction.

As a non-native English speaker I wonder if Leicester is naturally pronounced right for the natives, or has to be explicitly taught.

I find that I never have a reason to use a semicolon. Every time I typed one, it looked off, and I reformulated into 2 sentences to express things more clearly. In this thread I found one semicolon use [0] where it also doesn't add val

I see the confusion. ChadNauseam mentions Python to another comment of mine, where I mentioned Gleam. In your list hardest-to-easiest perhaps Gleam is even easier than Python. They literally advertise it as "the language you can learn

The language itself is not more complex to onboard. For Scala also not. It feels great to have all these language features to ones proposal. The added complexity is in the way how expert code is written. The experts are empowered and produc

Perhaps there are similarities to Scala, from my anecdotal observation. Coming from Java and doing the Scala coursera course years ago, it feels like arriving in a candy shop. All the wonderful language features are there, true power yours

Take that to its extreme. Suppose there was a technology that you do not own that would make everyone's job redundant. Everyone out of a job. There is no need for education, for skills to be mastered, for expertise. Would it still be i
