"The thing about democracy is, even if the people abuse their power it's still okay" - well, not much different from a non-violent dictatorship then.

It's amazing to me that people have already forgotten that Google had in fact already successfully done that with Google Inbox. It's not that they weren't able to do it. It's that in their infinite wisdom they shut it do

I used to use it for gentoo locally even, but I don't remember why and I don't think I only used it for stage1. I do remember that even locally it had a huge impact on build times.

You mean just like how you go back 1.5 decades and Putin was a pro-West liberal? Just like like how Biden with his almost 80% Obama cabinet navigated the Ukraine-Russia thing so nicely. Biden and Burns both called Ukraine the brightest of a

This whole thing didn't start with Trump. I have family that is no longer eligible for ESTAs in the US and people like to put it all on the racists in Trumps admin like Miller. Quite a bit of this stuff actually went through both House

You might be interested in https://github.com/ocrmypdf/OCRmyPDF then. It does quite some preprocessing on the PDF pages before passing it on to tesseract.

I mean don't scrot and maim do the same? It can write to stdout as well. Is the resize really worth it?

This looks like a nice app. I was looking for something like this a while back until I noticed that there are "one" liners that can you can setup for a hotkey: #!/usr/bin/env bash langs=(eng ara fas chi_si

The reality is most huge companies are majority bloat. The hiring numbers are also in part crap that goes into Series X Raise pitch decks. Oftentimes a lot of the new bloat pisses off competent people, because their work doesn't actual

Yep, Wirecard is another such example where a huge accounting firm E&Y didn't even have any reputation damage worth mentioning. As you say it's a failure in our incentives.

Remember the Fyre festival scam? The PR agencies knew it was a scam and went along with pushing and then said something philosophical about whether they should be responsible or not for "just doing their job". Their entire job is

Wait there is a free version? What's the limitation?

by rjzzleep 4y ago
What do you mean? You don't think VC's, media and other people that amplify scams should be liable for the BS that they amplify? So they get to be fact checkers, and tell everyone what's right or wrong, but they have ZERO lia

Quite unfortunate that the media, and all the famous people that pushed and benefited from this pyramid scheme get off scot free just by claiming ignorance.

I was actually about to stop reading, until I went to figure out what he was writing in that section. I don't like the intro, but that particular section is quite an interesting perspective. So thanks for pointing that out.

I think the problem arises from when you switched to hg from those older systems and grew accustomed to it and then were FORCED to switch to git because of work or whatever. I feel like the Mercurial fanbase is just another loud fanbase. I

I've long been wondering about plastic as well. Plastic wrapped food, plastic packaged food, drinks etc. A lot of these things are actually filled and sealed while warm and then heated in plastic, which means it leaks into the food. A

I don't really mind it, you can do whatever you want. I just have a problem with the choice of the word fork in this context, but I guess technically you're not wrong per se. Although it's more a fork of that dot browser buil

by rjzzleep 4y ago
This isn't so much a fork rather than a firefox bundle with some extensions and tweaks or am I wrong? In which it would be quite deceptive in my opinion.

neomutt's main selling point was that it has first class integration with notmuch and that because that it has a unified inbox like the desktop clients. One thing I could never figure out with the folderless approach like neomutt is ho

The whole thing is a bit mind boggling to me. Everyone I knew that had gmail was also actively using hangouts. How they could screw that up is beyond me. It even had voip integration. All they needed to do was polish the app. They announced

Can you elaborate by which metric Russia seems to be losing the war?
627.
by rjzzleep 4y ago
That's a fair point and a lot more than what Europe is doing. They have all the resources and the money that they need to succeed, but I feel like there is a need for a change in attitude for that to happen.

Here's a NASA conference paper from 2001 on hypersonics[0]. So it's not that it hasn't been worked on, it's just that it never delivered any tangible results. Why? They spent trillions on planes and aircraft carriers tha

The US also has a 5 times bigger military budget than the worlds next 5 biggest militaries combined. How do you explain the fact that the US has been years behind China and Russia in terms of hypersonic missile capabilities? Money alone doe
