It does not unless the OP got permission from PG to republish his work. I suspect PG won't particularly care about this but it's certainly a copyright violation.

Right now any framing that somehow involves sticking it to Elon Musk guarantees clicks.

The OPs example blows my mind but not in the way originally intended. Wow, it managed to make a trivial constant-time operation into an exponential-time operation. This is a mind-blowingly bad example of recursion. It's like trying to

You also have to compress it to very high pressures to be able to store a useful amount of it.

You're right it wasn't true back then. I don't live in India anymore, but I believe a lot of security measures (and security theater) were implemented after the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai: https://en.wikipedi

I'm seen this too, and it's bizarre that adding a middleman actually is cheaper.

It's contradictory to claim they're monopolies but also complain that you would have to subscribe to multiple services to get what you want.

There's a lot to dislike about Elon Musk (mostly related to his lack of filter) but he has founded multiple successful companies worth hundreds of billions of dollars each. It's possible he'll somehow make twitter worse than

I can easily envision a non-technical person spending a few bucks for this because they don't know how to set things up without help. I don't see that working at $99/month though. It's WAY more than most bit.ly plans fo

Congrats on building and launching your app. However, in my opinion, you need different examples to show the strengths of this app. A lot of the examples on your page look kinda clunky and error-prone to me, and better solved with a spread

To name one use case off the top of my head. I use KeePassXC's autotype feature to fill in passwords all the time. That wouldn't work if it was prevented by the OS from switching focus.

Seems like you are using a dynamic server-side language, but it's just in mod-include's SSI language instead of something more conventional.

Shipping companies have pretty explicit limits on liablility unless you declare a higher value (and pay a fee). Of course they won't accept high value fragile items for shipment if they're not packaged adequately, which seems to b

You need to be explained why it's cheaper to publish news to a website than print physical papers every morning and deliver them to homes across the country every single day in time for it to be relevant?

I currently use Neeva. They're okay, but I'm still looking for a better option. I don't subscribe to their paid version because the upgrades you get just seem like silly gimics to me. They have some good ideas but fall short

Nothing is guaranteed, but at least you are the customer not the product if it's a paid service. I have very little tolerance for companies that double-dip though. I subscribed to the New York Times for a while, but cancelled, in part,

Google in 1999 was an upstart search provider promising a clean, minimal, user-focused ad-supported search experience as an alternative to entrenched search engines like Lycos, Altavista, Yahoo. DuckDuckGo in 2022 is an upstart search provi

This. This is also the reason I'm not particularly excited about DDG in general. They have exactly the same business model as Google, so there is no reason for me to feel confident they won't follow the same trajectory as Google.

Did you actually look at the sample images? It might be a fun project to experiment with, but it's not it's not anything more than a curio.

That might be true, but this is probably the beginning of sharply declining developer salaries. If you're going remote, a developer in California is going to be competing with devleopers in Kansas, not to mention overseas. The era of
