This is actually kind of an important concept given how the Java module system now works. There are lots of useful internal bits in the JDK that should really be available to outside use. But because the openjdk project wants to be able to

This argues that humans are evolutionarily superior to cats. Which might have some sort of bias, given that you are (I would assume) human. That being said, I honestly don't know and so I'm asking; have we homo sapiens lived longe

I was hoping to find the names of the rivers for each photo. It's on the Flickr pages linked [1][2] from the article and the artist's site. [1] https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzXx4k [2] https://flic.kr&#x2F

I don't know, I do this exact thing right now in my current employment. I've got kids and spouse at home, fully invested in their lives, and still trying to grow my career. This situation works very well for me, since I live in th

I actually see this could be a useful thing. A hybrid worker that needs to get into the office a couple of times per week would leverage this to stay a night or two, particularly if their commute was otherwise fairly long. Let's say th

It's insurance. Just like car insurance, home insurance, travel insurance, etc. It's not supposed to pay for everything for everyone at all times. It's supposed to pay for the outlier events, the super events where an acciden

Yes. It's arguably one of the better attempts at cloud gaming. I've tried it, still prefer locally hosted games, but the days of cloud gaming are definitely coming soon.

But when the conversation is about pricing, the word "dropped" there sounds like it's saying that Unity dropped their prices, which is opposite of the fact.

StarShield came out of that though, which might be a legitimate compromise. e.g. governments purchase StarShield and then just do whatever they want with the constellation. I don't disagree with your sentiments here. But if you've

I assume you mean "dropped" as in posted? This is such a dumb slang word, confusing in the discussion of pricing. Did Unity pricing go up? I assume that's what you're saying? [edit] Just apologizing for the "dumb&qu

Edge is insidious too, from a privacy stand point. There are literally dozens of settings that effectively send "tracking" data to Microsoft from Edge. All of the sync, shopping, points, url protection, etc. settings all effective

Ha ha ha ... as I get a popover / overlay for a subscription to Medium. Yeah, I'm thinking no, the era of the subscription is just getting started.

I have this theory that Musk is just playing a long con and deep fake on all of us. He wasn't selling his cars to the likes of MAGA, so he jumped ship and switched sides to make Teslas look cool to the red consumers. The timing of the

Only one song at a time, though. I'm talking about more at the album level. Like a playlist.

What's the easiest way to play these songs? Short of downloading each individual track, is there an easy means to play/stream these songs? Does VLC or equivalent play these easily? Hoping to just give it an artist or album root pa

Huh? You're right. Why is this the same site? What's going on here? Is there a relationship between these two (defunct) sites?

What's interesting about your statement is that if you knew they were chatbots, then by definition, they wouldn't be AI. e.g. they wouldn't have passed the Turing test. I know what you're saying, and totally agree. Unfor

Thank you. I honestly had no context for the discussion, the linked tweet didn't really much help. This article helped clear up the concept and I appreciate the link.

I think I might be able to embrace optimism after the next presidential race in 2024 (in the US). Once we get past that date, it will either unleash optimism or sink it. Or maybe just keep things ever in debate. But regardless, the next rac
