As I understand it, they refer to some of the moderation tools and the likes, which are not part of the typical Wikipedia experience. Everybody including the judges seem to agree this is dumb but it's the current law.

Not OP, but I do. The '90s/00s era of people hating on M$ and picturing them as the Borg had left room to the 10s/20s of MS being "friendly" and releasing open source and free things (typescript, vs code, core.net,

One of the artist is also an environmental engineer, the other is also a psychologist, the designer is an architect. But yes, it's a work of design more than a blueprint.

If you get a mortgage you're also getting extremely cheap credit compared to other options in many jurisdictions. One should do proper accounting as things change wildly from one place to another.

This was a (minor?) plot point in Crichton's "Sphere". Paraphrasing: if a smart bacterium steps on the battery of one of our space probes and gets destroyed by the heat, the smart bacteria community may think the aliens (we,

Unsurprisingly, `END {}` is also inherited from perl, tho I think it originally comes from awk.

Kids are generally way more resilient than they get credit for, but not all kids are the same. I have two, one of them was fine watching people's faces melting in Raiders of the lost Ark when he was 6, the other had nightmares for a co

I may miss something but the linked studies say that neonicotinoids are bad (which I 100% believe), but don't actually say anything about the effectiveness of the bans. E.g. it is possible EU agriculture replaced these pesticides with

I think a valid interpretation of GPs point could be that top-level folders should have special properties so that they're not at risk of a bad rm, e.g. xattr "unchangeable" flags. The fact that you can accidentally nuke the

The EU neonicotinoid ban seems potentially very useful but do we have data that it actually was effective?

IMVHO it's worthwhile to invest some time playing with the new technologies, as you may appreciate them and found them useful. Give a try to Claude code, Gemini-cli, copilot in vs code with agent mode, or in GitHub. But I don't th

My son had a "near drown experience" at ~2yo with a swim ring in a pool. He somehow jumped from the side and "capsized" ending up with his head underwater, so the ring kept him in that position. I was playing with my dau

Yeah, the ECB just published[0] the latest report on the digital euro which is supposed to solve this across the eurozone and seems potentially quite cool, but it'll be years before it's reality. 0: https://www.ecb.euro

I've seen so many ads by the HU government and associated entities on YouTube I think they must be in the top 3 there too.

I'm curious how the system detects "unusual build patterns". I.e. how would the xz backdoor be identified? Does the system have logic like "the build should not us binary bits already in the repo"? Or it's even

I heard from reputable sources that modern "little chemist" kits[0] have become quite boring, mostly for safety reasons (there's some nice single-use kits like Mel science but that's different). Still, looks like you can

A decade ago the antics seemed less childish, imo. E.g. calling the starship "BFR" or racing the snail with the boring machine, or the Tesla "plaid" mode. The obsession with 420, 69 and dick jokes seems another level.

I had a class (in the late 90s/00s) where we had to code to a theoretical RISCish CPU, but the teacher had built a simulator for it which allowed you to inspect registries, flags, execute instructions step by step etc It was quite ente
