The problem is a behavioural one, not a technological one. Youtubedl is a great technological solution, but does nothing to nullify Google's desire to fight it and enshitten the internet. If every download was accompanied by a request

Not sure what you mean exclusively. It's not meant to replace the web. But I often browse Gemini pages, and many people have capsules that don't have web mirrors.

Having baselines is fine, but they don't have to be annual and they certainly don't need to trigger a barrage of tests which are unnecessary at best and potentially harmful at worst.

A lot of people here are attributing semantics to the article that I don't believe it has claimed. To me this simply reads, "If your application deals with colour, consider your user, and please also consider this standard".

Presumably they're referring to CLI rather than TUI applications though.

I don't know about canonical, but back when I was dealing with fuzziness I found this book to be very good: https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/printheritage/detail/f41c8610-... But, it's probably a bit out of

Am I the only one here who thinks the prof's statistical reasoning, which is being waved at as proof, is really, really bad? And I mean, aside from the whole typical fallacy of treating a p-value as a statement on posterior probability

Yes. That it's both easy and possible to do so, and the alternatives are not.

"This problem is unsolvable" or "Approaches X, Y and Z are not solutions to this problem" are perfectly valid and useful contributions to science and society in general. Or in the words of Thomas Edison: “I have not fail

The XY Problem is real, but any literal reference to "The XY Problem" in the context of an answer is typically douchebaggery in disguise.

There are two things that are referred to as "fuzzy logic". The first, is the true fuzzy logic, which consists of Fuzzy Set theory and Fuzzy Measure theory. The two are distinct but interrelated, and heavily mathematical in nature

The only key bindings I added were the ability to scroll up/down single lines, because I find page-scrolling annoying. But other than that, by crap defaults I mostly meant presentational issues. Once you spend a couple of minutes to le

I find a lot of the "X is unhealthy" advice to very pernicious. Because once you examine it, it typically boils down to "well, ok, healthy X is healthy, but unhealthy X is unhealthy", at which point it's a tautology

Amen, brother (/sister). For some reason it reminded me of that quote: I wish women who read and follow Cosmo and men who read and follow "The Game" would get onto a spaceship and left alone to play their silly games on each

Lots of good criticisms here, but I'm surprised I haven't seen my main pain point here. My main beef is when a restaurant has no paper menu, and when you attempt to scan the QR code it takes you to a portal, where you have to REGI

Info has some really crap defaults. I invested some time to make a nice custom config and now I wish more things had info pages, because they're a joy to read.

The use of "takes" in "takes parameters" is probably not helping clarify your point here. (since functions "take/pass" arguments when called, but "have/make use of" parameters in their defin

Strictly speaking a PhD isn't a PhD "in" something. It is simply a PhD (a doctorate in philosophy). Obviously philosophy isn't that informative a term, so people try to be helpful by adding what field or topic their act

Great webpage, but it somehow left me more confused. It seems to imply that malloc/free works by boundary tag? Which I don't think is the case? (and if not, it leaves the reader confused as to how it then actually works). I know &

Prof. Pete Fussey from the University of Essex (where I also work) has some really insightful talks on the topic of surveillance. Here is a nice videolecture he gave that I randomly happened to watch recently. It's 25mins long and real

As in, the java compiler formally provides extension APIs, and Manifold taps directly into those? Hm, ok, in that case, slightly less hacky. Probably more comparable to using gcc extensions then... in that, I'd still hesitate to call i

My apologies if this is an inappropriate question (if you feel this is the case, please feel free to tell me so and to bugger off etc). Mind if I ask the "how" question? Was there a particular 'event' or chain of events
