We didn't have APIs 10 years ago?

I agree with the article. As we build more complex products we need to be more specialized and work together.

Maybe not the case if one is working at a startup trying to cobble something together that looks like a working product by customers and investors.
Won't use it for the simple reason it's much harder to type (for me) than ls, and doesn't seem to offer anything I can't find in ls right now.
it has an EOL in 2025. So no updates then anymore.
I mean if I make strawberry cheesecake I’m sure by weight less than 2% of the cake is strawberries. I’m not really sure how you fix the labeling requirements so that everything ever isn’t “strawberry flavored” or “red.”
That's already been settled. Detailed ingredients labels are compulsory, because consumers wanted details. Now the onus is on the consumer to read the detailed ingredients labels that they, themselves asked for and received. It doesn't matter what the front of the box says, or in which font it says it.
Blame the % symbol that hides the '/100' fraction. If anyone was asked the inverse of 78/100 they'd correctly say 100/78 everytime.

> However, if I had to choose between knowing the exact commit and knowing the exact time, I'd certainly choose exact commit, no question. But you don't; you might as well just stick all the data in.

You don't have to choose between embedding the build time or commit information, but you do have to choose between embedding the build time or having reproducible builds. I know what I prefer, as a maintainer and consumer.

It's really nerve-wrecking (to me) when you pull down a binary from the website releases, pass it to sha256sum and gets something different than when you built the same commit from source. Usually that's because dates and times are embedded in the build, but sometimes stuff is just different depending on who built it, and that's scary.

Pretty much the definition on an "entrepreneur".
>I am surprised Dolf Lundgren didn’t choose a completely different stage name (though he’s Swedish).

Isn't his name Dolph? And I would've never actually thought about "Adolf" when seeing his name, so I don't really see that he would've needed to do that.
I've got a feeling it won't be long before wikimedia stop making database dumps available, and throttling people crawling the website...

A bit of a shame really!
In Czech, 'robota' is an archaic word for 'work'. I remember my great-grandaunt use it when I was a kid. I think Karel Capek credited his brother Josef, poet/painter, for coining the term 'robot'.

Why Should You Hire Window Cleaners in Cobham and Esher?
The messier your windows are, the less sunlight is capable of reaching your home via the openings and heat your property. By window cleaning in Esher, it can all be controlled while still making your building look exceptionally beautiful and sanitized. This is particularly imperative in the cold since dirty windows can reduce the amount of warmth you really need in the house.
They already don't want you to just scrape stuff off Wikipedia because mediawiki apparently doesn't do proper caching and does a stupidly expensive re-rendering of every page that is fetched.

So the option you have is using stale data dumps. They're reasonably workable, I even host low-markup versions of every wikipedia article myself in my home lab and it's like some 100 Gb worth of compressed data, images excluded. Uncompressed I don't know where it ends up, but below 1 Tb at any rate. Manageable but very unwieldy. File systems like ext4 struggle with that number of files in a directory so you need to be a bit crafty, but it's not hard to get around. If all you want is an info box, you could probably squeeze it down to a couple of hundred gigabytes uncompressed. Definitely not something you need a data center for.

The catch, as mentioned, is is that the data is a stale snapshot. The only way you are getting current data is on the main site, which may be a problem if you have ambitions of staying up to date. I personally don't mind. I figure they used to sell printed encyclopedias and that worked pretty well so having a 1 year old copy of Wikipedia isn't that bad.

It's also a sort of weird domain. I can see how it might not be easy to host in the cloud in a way that's both affordable and performant. Since so many insist on cloud-based apps nowadays, there's probably a market for Wikipedia APIs with a good SLA.
I always wanted to write a name generator that would iterate through name-sounding syllables and postfixes, just to create unique names.

I've used AWS, Digital Ocean, and Vultr each for multiple years. I've had one major outage on AWS and another on Vultr. I'm currently feeling out Oracle cloud.

This is the key point to recognize.

It's not about making Facebook responsible for everything anyone posts to Facebook.

Nobelium is an incredibly stupid name. They might as well go all in and name them "plutonium" or "anthrax".
I think we're saying the same thing. 100% agree here. I think (hope) the vast majority of folks wouldn't be affected by the proposal. But the backlash against it has been justified for exactly the reasons you outline.
It's never safe to compile code, of course it can execute any random code, otherwise it would be useless...
Interesting; I discarded the one I currently use in a matchup in the middle and ended up discovering a new one to try.

But I agree that it might be good to try it anonymized -- I was very impressed by the eventual winner when I saw it early on, and I remembered its name. I could feel myself slightly favoring it in later matches. Then again, maybe that's a reasonable part of the process -- this isn't really an objective judgement to be making in the first place.

Single elimination also isn't likely to produce the "one true" result, unless the initial pairings were very carefully chosen to partition the design space. (I think they were random, so the result is somewhat arbitrary.) Still a fun little exercise, though.
Hardly comparable, were Sacoolas to be extradited she'd face a few hundred pounds fine, at worst a couple of weeks in minimum security; she only killed an oik. Revealing US war-crimes is a whole different matter and will warrant 90 years in isolation.
Well, the other side did capture blocks of a state capitol and a police station and made demands, resulting in 6 people's deaths, 2 being black teenagers their "security" mistook for a drive by shooter, gunning them down.

Agreed - thus one can argue that the movie is aimed at people who have read the book. Without the background knowledge provided by the book, the film is in a limbo of much ado about nothing.
Stupid idea(?): Back-project onto some sunglasses (or corners/edge for behind), and give deaf people some basic level of sound-based situational awareness. Combine with some voice -> text tech, and you could have something pretty interesting.

SCI-FI Bars in the World
Why wouldn't people believe the Holocaust happened?

Well, it wasn't too hard to believe that a large political group: the National Socialists of Germany (Nazi for short), got a lot of people to think in a certain manner. Not just in Germany, but also influenced the world (ex: Vichy France, etc. etc.). Such influence extended even into the USA, across the Atlantic.

When those who fell under Nazi influence were told about the horrors of the Holocaust, its not too surprising that they'd deny the claims, because they felt like the Nazis were a good philosophy.

-----------

I dunno. Its not very hard for me to imagine why people fall for conspiracy theories. You feel that a group you're in is getting attacked by another group, and you instinctively defend the group you're a part of.

A Nazi sympathizer will see the Holocaust claims as disinformation, and instinctively defend the Nazi philosophy.

---------

What is new and interesting, to me, is the speed at which conspiracies seem to spread _today_. It seems faster and more virulent than before. Understanding the mechanisms of social media is probably key.

We've had TV, Newspapers, even "fake news" (called Yellow Journalism in the WW2 era), and propaganda (Dr. Seuss / Disney made lots of wartime propaganda). That's not new at all. People understand that the media manipulates their viewpoints.

I think people have less of an understanding of how social media is shaping our society. Sometimes for the better, but in this topic of conspiracies... for the worse.
1) Is Sichuan somewhere where English people holiday? Are Lagos and Tangier not in Africa?

2) Even if your statement were accurate, so what? It's a British publication written for anglophone readers. Every writer will have their own point-of-view.

3) There are lots of other people's favorite bookshops that were excluded, even from within Britain - see the rest of this thread. That one bookstore you like wasn't included isn't too significant.
Rationalization is often perceived as rationality, and it's commonly used in journalism. If the authors of hit pieces like these turned their critical eye onto popular cultural fairy tales, everyone would look like a fool.
why would you need Win32 or DX?

I'm pretty sure majority of people don't care about DX 12, as vulkan seems to get the lead, even on windows (DX 11 still probably is more popular, but also older)

One developer said it in an interview, and Microsoft never issued a correction. Microsoft never actually marketed it that way, and honestly I'm not sure why anyone even believed that developer at the time.

That being said, Windows 11 is a free upgrade. So aside from just not liking the changes (I personally like most of them) there's not much room to complain about Windows 10 not actually being the last version of Windows.

I think most devs just haven’t had a good product manager. It can be shockingly effective, but only when they care about you, rather than managing you.

Android studio is available via snap. You have a point: I had to install a plugin so gnome-software could see apps from flathub.

So what exactly is Wikipedia offering here? They can't change the copyright. They still have to be attribued. And any deriavative using such content will still have to be released under the original viral license. When anyone can download the whole of Wikipedia, with adequate bandwidth and storage space, what advantages does this service really offer?

It's better to think that maybe your neighbor threw you a rock on purpose that by mistake. Or if others do not talk to you during the day, it's better to think that they are angry at you and try to do something about it than to just assume that is an statistical anomaly.

We spend a lot of time trying to know what others think of us. Conspiracy theories seem to fit that trend as usually involve "groups of people" with bad intentions, and hiding their true intentions. Some people, thou, is going to be more addicted to find "what others really think of them" than others.

I don't play, but before we got married, my wife used to play with her blind father as a partner. Whenever she played, she would out of necessity read out the cards that had been played to her blind father. When they were losing, the other partners apparently always complained that there must have been some cheating because of that (though no complaints came from winners, apparently). So a lot of this sounds like sour grapes, honestly?

The nature of scientific progress isn’t linear so it’s entirely possible that progress is slowing down. I’m not sure how you’d quantify scientific progress though.

If you’ve not read Thomas Kuhn’s Structure of Scientific Revolutions, I highly recommend it because it lays out how science progresses. If you think about it, most of our current technology stems from late 19th Century and early/mid 20th Century science. There are exceptions and different disciplines experience revolutions perhaps at different rates. I don’t know much about biological science but CRISPR comes to mind in that regard.

I recall a story where a person negotiated a game (I forget what game) at a casino to play for big money. They demanded someone come with them (this person was a known card cheat) specific brand of cards to be used, and some other things. Turns out they knew of a flaw in the printing of those cards.

Casino found out about the flaw after they won big and refused to pay.

The fact that they allowed a cheat and specific cards made it seem like the scenario you describe ;)

> But why is it under today's society that conspiracies are getting pushed so hard?

They spread much faster without any real gatekeeping on them like we had with more centralized media structures. Algorithms tend to be more reactionary (e.g. "devalue QAnon posts") so they're perpetually lagging behind whatever the current conspiracy flavor of the week is.

Couple that with, IMO, a mental health crisis the likes we haven't seen in a long time and existing addictive habits created by social media companies chasing engagement. It's hard to pin the blame on any one party here. At some level, misinformation spread is fueled by people who want to believe this sort of thing, or feel like they need to be seen sharing the right type of information, correctness be damned.

The best way out for many folks is some time away from the platforms, self-reflection, and filling the void that is being met by conspiracy theories.
