Most of all, i'm curious about how you reliably and securely store or host so many archived pages. Would you mind briefly explaining such a huge undertaking? Also, total congratulations on the fantastic achievement of this. You guys ar

Interesting case too, and that he committed suicide despite not really being blamed from what I just read. On the other hand you have cases like the MV Wewol ferry disaster, also in South Korea, in which well over 250 passengers died horrib

From someone else who was curious about an intelligent answer for the question in the comment above, thanks for taking the time to really deliver something interesting, politely too. Nice to see that not everyone here replies with arrogant

This is a nation state in a state of perpetual tension, formal war and persistent attempts at sabotage by a notoriously paranoid and unscrupulous next-door enemy totalitarian/crime family state. SK should have no shortage of motive or

Not the same country but another example of a culturally similar attitude towards shame over failure: In Japan in 1985, Flight 123, a massive Boeing 747 carrying 524 people, lost control shortly after takeoff from Tokyo en route to Osaka. T

One hell of an act of God that... Believable though, given the consistent transparency and low corruption in the Russian government's administration.

What, did an employee or few of this company decide to do a bit of downvoting? Go fuck yourselves. To anyone else, I truly do not recommend such "service". Putting the backbone of a needed digital system into the hands of a compan

Here I clicked thinking this was a guide to building structures that are somehow organic and alive, maybe from plant material. Good to be more precise with title phrasing.

Hetzner is one terrible company to do business with and I wouldn't recommend their shit client service to anyone. I tried to make data backup work with one of their low cost storage boxes only to have them entirely block my nascent acc

Stalin died literally in his bed, secure and surrounded by dozens of protecting bodyguards who ironically were so afraid to bother him that his stroke wen't unattended for hours after he'd had it. And in dying at 74, he enjoyed wh

For what it's worth as one bit of advice: Try to make the best of what you can do in those long deep night hours. If you can't use them for sleep, as a deep night owl, then make them count for something else that's useful. Ma

In all this description, with which I agree to a large extent except in believing the "lashing out" to have been very much deliberate, except simply murderous and grossly inept, it's worth mentioning the specific name of tha

For those of you who don't know of it, I really recommend the novel "The Physician" by Noah Gordon. It tracks the story of a young urban worker's son whose father dies early in early 13th century London and who gets take

There's something hilariously Stasi-like about a country's fucking postal service (normally the most banal and practical of all government agencies) of all things having its own psyops covert operations/law enforcement branch

More anecdote too but worth noting that of the friends of mine from childhood and high school who did later turn into really bad apples, all but one had come from broken or dysfunctional homes and social landscapes. The only exception to th

I fail to see how you're disagreeing with me if you say this, or maybe we're at mixed signals. I'm specifically arguing against being impressed by a visual of some kind that was sludged out automatically by an LLM, my argumen

First, I'm not an American nor do I live in the USA. My mentioning the 1st amendment is because it's the best known example of free speech protection enshrined in the constitutional law of a country. Secondly, your logic is well o

I don't think you really understood what I was saying, or what you're even talking about. I've got nothing to "gatekeep" and a defense of skill over automated regurgitation in creating things certainly isn't ga

defending the idea of complex, nuanced effort for the sake of coherent creation being a demonstration of skill is gatekeeping? I'd love to see programmers reactions to having the measure of their work reduced in such a way as more peop

Trying to convince some tech people about how artistic creation works, and why it's more than just the right amount of "optimization" of bits for rapid results, is about as pointless as trying to make a chimpanzee understand
