   Alternative perspective: we were thinking to hire an M.Sc. thesis worker to do some work in Prolog and we definitely contemplated how to make the interview harder. The point was not to be monsters. Instead, Prolog is harder than JS and thes

   Not going to criticize because (a) there are some cool features I would be interested to try out and (b) RSS sorely needs some revitalization effort. However, let me point out 3 things I cannot exactly agree with: 1) I do not read feeds ind

   Does Migadu run rainloop? My biggest annoyance with it is that I cannot bookmark a URL or add it to the TODO list.

   Yes, I think you should assume something else. I provided a reply above from my point of view: I use a computer that has English as a primary language, my Chrome install is also English and I don't live in Ukraine. And of course, I hav

   Another point: is there an open spec for GH Actions, that Gitlab could implement? Or vice versa, could Github support Gitlab CI? I am thinking of CI these days as some kind of wild west as back in the days before a common Open Container Ini

   Ah, Jeff, actually thanks to your post I saw that most of the projects I contribute to had Travis CI builds take almost a day and I went over most of those that used free TravisCI/CircleCI/Semaphore and started migrating them all

   Wow, https://zerodium.com/program.html literally places router RCE at the bottom. I mean I never trusted my home router router vendors but this is like an ice cold shower.

    I have figured it out experimentally (Chrome & Ukrainian): if you visit a website in language X and click Never Translate, Chrome silently adds language X to the end of the list (Accept-Language that is). I have not found a way to forci

    For some more context: you cannot usually read scientific papers without a university IP, hence you need to connect via VPN if even briefly to download PDFs from Elsevier etc. unless you want to go the scihub route.

    Thanks for the context! Could you please explain to me as a European what's wrong with a student commuting to the university (if we put COVID aside, of course)? In Europe, university accommodation is usually below the market rate and i

    While I understand what are you trying to say (the manuscript in question exhibits low empiricism), I don't think you fully understand different kinds of research that exist (you don't have to agree with it, but more helpful would

    No, many providers require to apply for API access, to pay for it, to be bound by T&C (some APIs require to you to cache data for max 24h) and also provide a crippled subset of actions through it. What I was saying is that none of that

    Okay, now is a good time to put my long-time idea on paper: we need a "cloud" power of attorney (not using the term digital so that people don't confuse it for a regular one just signed digitally). Key idea is this: access to

    I guess one would be able to check via an app like seatguru.com instead of perusing a long list on wikipedia. I also think someone would make an along the lines 737-Max-or-not if Boeing tries too hard with the renames.

    You are right, time series data like BPM over time does not lend itself to anonymization nicely, the provider most likely will have to ask the user organizations what kind of measures (features) they need and return an average (if that&#x27

    Can you please explain how would this reduce cost? 1TB of egress on EC2 is $90 and on CloudFront is $85. Or are you suggesting to use something like BunnyCDN with $5/TB instead of AWS services?

    I am not sure how can you host something serious in just $100/mo on AWS: m5.large w/25GB SSD costs $75/mo, 1TB traffic costs $90. DigitalOcean asks $60 for this (2 vCPU; 8GB RAM) and includes 4TB of traffic out of the box for
