If it's actually validated, according to rigorous principles, it's not a guess, but a system of predictions with a known confidence interval, that allows you to know if you can be sure of something. Right now, you cannot get that

Guessing, how a non-deterministic system would behave. Statistics isn't guessing. But it is guessing when the confidence interval is unknowable and constantly shifting. We're not talking relativity, we're talking about throwi

Engineering tends to mean "the application of scientific and mathematical principles to practical ends". I'm not sure there's much scientific or mathematical about guessing how a non-deterministic system will behave.

Whilst I can spiel off complaints, public transport in Australia gets my kid to and from school everyday, and myself to and from work in two different cities, everyday, without being late. (When the union isn't striking). It does seem

Mistakes happen. It is inevitable at scale. So maybe we need softer recovery processes?

They trained on libgen without qualms. There's little reason to suspect they'll give the rest of their users more respect.

SyncThing's insistence that a web UI be how you do everything has caused me quite a few headaches. Especially when said UI regularly breaks accessibility tools. (The team do tend to fix those accessibility problems pretty fast. But spe

Revisiting this, I also wouldn't call gabapentin an anti-convulsant. It's drug class is "gabapentinoid". More often used for neuropathy than epilepsy (though used for both, due to how gabapentoids work.)

Before. And after. XSLT controls the styling, Lua the running functions. When Lua adjusts a visible thing, it generates XSLT. "FrameXML" is a thin Lua wrapper around the base XSLT.

Redescribing NSAIDs as "not technically painkillers", when that's one of their primary use cases, seems... Disingenuous at best.

If you have no users for systemd or OpenRC processes somehow, then you're either running a very customised, or non-mainstream build. In which case your user is in the video group, and a local escape hands over root without any extra ef

Trusting MS means being able to strip down your own security teams. Right now, MS invading everything saves money on experts. (Yes, short term vision. But that's normal.) Business is usually willing to give up control if it directly in

A lot of authors, myself included, want a "distraction free" editor. Its a whole over-populated market segment. Prose thrives in the terminal. Ice and Fire was written in WordStar, as just one popular example.
