Yeah. I can understand the confusion, though. The title claims the issue was in lower(). Though the problem was actually in encode('idna')'s usage of lower(). The article would probably get far fewer clicks if it were named &

No distro is going to be perceptibly faster than another. It's all about user experience - what tools ship with it, package manager, etc. I'd pump the brakes on Ubuntu, which nowadays is a perceptibly worse user experience than

Eeeeeh idk about the Sound Blaster comparison. Creative earned their place in the early-mid 90s solely because they were the one company making a sound card with drivers that actually worked properly. It wasn't really the cool reverb e

The emissions standards themselves? Kinda. The way they go about enforcing those standards? Not even close. CA emissions testing is byzantine and expensive compared to most other states. The fact that you people have to pay money to get tes

I'm the same way. It's hard to explain to loved ones why I take so many pictures of fucked up industrial buildings 10 minutes from my home, but don't bring any cameras with me when I travel. When I'm in a new place, I wa

No. If I search "Toyota RAV4" what I mean is Toyota RAV4. If I meant Mazda CX-50 I would have typed "Mazda CX-50." If I wanted information about various mid-size SUVs, rather than one in particular, I'd have searche

Chain moves side to side with gear changes, and adding extra chain tension with an extra drive sprocket could make the deraileur angry. Also, chain-tube geometry varies a lot. Not impossible, just more complicated than it might seem. I ride

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. This entire thing is just hand-waving and sci-fi sensationalism that seemingly forgets what the "fi" part stands for: FICTION. The worst part of AI rapture self-suck is that it distracts pe

It's a completely legitimate complaint. If anything, it's an even stronger complaint because of the lack of provenance. And even stronger when you consider that there is intent to monetize: https://gloom.sh/cloud

I always had a decent bit of background noise, I think hosting on AWS comes with that. But after someone linked to me on hackaday the bot traffic went through the roof. One link to you from a noteworthy website, and all bets are off forever

Ssssh, don't tell them. "AI slop image below the headline" is an unmistakable mark of low-quality content written by a sophomoric AI evangelist. Let them keep watermarking their own content.

I've also seen H1B abuse in startups. Maybe H1B abuse doesn't scale all the way down to 1-5 person companies, but 20-50? Absolutely. A single liason who knows the H1B process easily pays for themselves when you can turn around and
