I've often ran into this when using DVLA services and spluttered with indignation. But at the end of the day, these services are fantastically usable (during the daytime) and I appreciate Dafydd pushing to just get them out there! I go

Be thankful Sonos no longer have 'recycle mode' - an antifeature which gave customers a discount in exchange for permanently bricking their old Sonos hardware. They were forced to discontinue the practice after backlash. https:&#

This is particularly galling because TfL never credited or compensated the designer of the map, Harry Beck, until long after his death.

I find this article very unconvincing. The info-dump style reminds me of bad video-essays and stands in contrast to Feynman's speech. He describes the relevant aspects of cargo cults in a couple sentences, and uses it to make an enduri

As I understand it, the reason for this is it would be much harder to get funding for a years-long mission up front. Ingenuity funding was not actually included in the original Mars 2020 program and there was huge internal opposition to it,

Dr Angela Collier has this fun concept she calls Mann-Gell Amnesia about how basic explanations of topics you are an expert in always seem very unsatisfactory, even when they come from good sources. It's definitely a weird little bias

People would do well to keep in mind the episode of drone hysteria which happened at Gatwick airport in 2018. Hundreds of sightings were reported over a period of several days, shutting down the airport completely. It was a massive media ev

This is irrelevant to coding, but boy I miss what it felt like (as a child) to type on a T9 predictive keypad. Once you get used to it it's easy to 'know' by muscle memory when the desired word is the second or third choice,

From the 80s to the 2000s, the met police in the UK poured resources into infiltrating animal rights groups with agent provocateurs. As well as carrying out firebombings etc, these officers engaged in sexual relationships with targets and i

Here are the CDC figures all these articles are based on[0], with a lot of help from lobbying organisations I'm sure. Agriculture lags far behind industries like mining, construction and auto repair, but you won't find wikipedia a

Yes, I've always thought they were excellent logos. Makes me nostalgic about the optimism of this time. Also people actually use them, a while back every CS student inexplicably had these stickers on their laptop. I can't see thes

I assume by 'strong personality' you mean populist. I think it's a big mistake to think populism can only be fought with populism, otherwise all democracies would have fallen to it long ago. I do think if we're pointing

There's a story that's been posted on here a few times about someone working at a PR firm who figured out how to leverage networks of sock puppets to control narratives on Wikipedia. It's presented as fiction but also heavily

They injected a dye into the cerebrospinal fluid to confirm the pattern of diffusion into the brain. I imagine this procedure would have to be confirmed safe in humans first. Also they needed subjects who already happened to be undergoing a

There is an LSP from Microsoft, it just doesn't report this sort of syntax error (presumably for the sake of people doing templating etc)

It's a cool problem. Did you ever see the pywal project? It has a few backends for generating palettes, I think the best is the imagemagick one in wal.py https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal/tree/master&#x

I hate game-changing as much as the next guy, and was ranting about it on here just the other day, but some people really do talk like that. Have you tried running any network analysis on these bots? I would expect to see strong clustering,

I can't stand this term 'game changer', I started noticing it being used a lot during early covid and then the Ukraine war, all for things which did not turn out to be 'game changers'. You can see its explosive rise
