It's not even a case of internal/external motivation. Even internally motivated attempts often fail. You can always claim that they just didn't want it enough or lacked willpower, but it still reduces the effectiveness of the

That is not what google says. And it's not what it actually does, either. It creates more, scarier warnings in the case of installing an unverified app.

And not, hence, getting rid of the warnings? Because F-droid is going to have even more warnings now.

They showed one warning once when I installed Freedroid, and that's it. There was no extra steps needed on each install from Freedroid.

Factorio is a good example of a game that probably wouldn't exist in the form that it does without a custom engine.

You say this like the scary warnings aren't an entirely artificial barrier by google. Before the app verification, I could install apps from freedroid just fine without any scary warnings.

Privacy concerns have pretty broad opposition in the UK, unfortunately.

VNC is one way of doing remote GUI access (well, more a family of different protocols and products with different capabilities and tradeoffs). RustDesk is just another product that does the same thing but doesn't have a specific connec

Sorry, getting my GDPR and e-privacy terms mixed up. The cookie is strictly necessary for the setting to be saved. The user has specifically requested that the setting be saved by changing it. The opinion suggests this should be a session c

No, it doesn't. If it's reasonably expected as part of the service, you don't need to gather consent. It's not even personal data.

It depends on the industry. High-volume consumer electronics is often like this (they're making this year's product, they roughly know the demand, they'll be redesigning it in a year or two), but industrial electronics genera

The standards also vary by field. It's not unusual for supervisors to be the last author on any paper that a group publishes, even if they had basically no input into it directly. I've been listed on papers just because I designed

Ah, fair. I do often listen to music but I don't find myself short of time for introspection, in fact I probably spend too much time on it overall.

For it's mainly how familiar I am with the music. I have a playlist that I've listened to hundreds of times so regardless of the style it doesn't become distracting. It all becomes 'as ignorable as it is interesting&#x27

What does not being able to stand listening to your own thoughts mean, to you? This feels like a very 'kids these days' comment but I don't feel like I actually understand what people are talking about when they say this. For

The point is that ripgrep will give you basically all the same query features just by being fast. A more structured format makes sense, but the indexing is not obviously adding value in most cases.

sqlite is not drastically better in this regard: it's designed as a rewritable database, not a log store, and so it's also going to have quite a big write amplification if you do lots of small writes. (Probably the best mitigation

It's pretty difficult to avoid without very significant tradeoffs, though. The closest is content-addressable peer-to-peer networks, but these still rely on someone keeping the information around, and they struggle to scale anywhere

There was some data that suggested a correlation between moderate/low drinking and a slight improvement in health (Like 1-2 glasses of wine and I think specifically cardiovascular health?). New studies have shown that this was mostly a

I've seen it done: group project where due to delays everyone needed to blitz through writing the report, four people hammering out stuff in a shared google doc. It works pretty damn well. You probably want to be in the same room or on

That's more than a little bit of a strawman. I would expect most people would shop around and do some research (now, comparison and review websites are also now a cesspool of spam and misshapen incentives, but at least that's only

Not all SEO is deceitful. Yes, it is useful for me for the website for your product to appear in relevant searches.

It's not zero clue. Neurologists have got a lot of observations on how the brain works and there are multiple plausible proposed mechanisms for how the brain might do something like backpropagation, it's just that the details are

I think it's often a bit of a mistake to assign one function to a given feature of a biological system. Biology tends to be messy and tangled and so something can quite easily have multiple functions.

They're both useful lenses, the evolution just tends to be a bit longer and messier.

In the longer run, maybe, but if the factory is already working to rebuild then arguably that incentive is already met and it's more just the time it takes to get capacity back up, which is not as flexible with spending money on it as

Often the most straightforward way to walk through an idea while teaching it is not the same order that the ideas were developed, and might not even use the same set of ideas in building up to it, so it can be tricky to get both the best ex

I think in both cases that while it's far from an equivalent experience, there are some attributes or skills that can transfer across. Not sure why anyone would be particularly keen to bet their life on just that, though.

The fact that you can turn useful financial instruments into a casino isn't really a great argument for just leaning into it by abandoning all connection to any real utility.
