Caddy is good, especially for super simple static sites. As soon as it gets somewhat complex, the configs start becoming messy and opaque, eg.

Nginx:

rewrite ^/old/((\w|-)+) /new/$1.php;

Caddy:

@oldPath {
path_regexp old ^/old/([\w-]+)
}

rewrite @oldPath /new/{re.old.1}.php

And many things are not even handled by Caddy, or fail silently (for example, we could not get NetData to reverse_proxy behind Caddy no matter what we tried, and the logs were completely useless.)
I'm confident they don't just pay someone if their data is inconsistent; the database is not the only source of truth.

The next question then becomes, how much does it cost to fix these inconsistencies? I'm also 99% confident that there's a small army of people that work to do so already, that is, fix and work with and around the inconsistencies.
Unique names are more easily googleable, and most unique English words are already taken. So, I think it makes sense to consider other languages. Japanese also has simple phonetics (open syllables), making it generally easy to pronounce—unlike, say, Slavic languages.

The smallest margin on Kindle Scribe is too large. Changing text justification is not possible. Books cannot be uploaded directly with a USB cable without additional software (calibre). Gesture configuration (tap, two-finger tap, etc). Koreader can do everything you want and is significantly better than the stock reader. Unlike other vendors, kindle requires root to install it.
We really are living in a world where we were always at war with Eurasia. Musk shouted loudly to his followers his views on free speech and why he wanted to buy Twitter. And now, it’s like it never happened. This isn’t like a bias news outlet leaving out certain facts, this is Musk himself saying these things and people going along with it.

It’s bonkers to me.
Breaking Heavy Textbooks in to Smaller Books for Easy Carrying
That screen was localized, so German windows had it translated.

I think it was at HAL 2001 where I bought a black hoodie with the German version of the orange text "You can now safely throw away your computer" from the CCC merch stand or maybe a different one.

I think it took about 10 years until I got the first comment about this weird text by a young coworker who had never experienced it (and also said something), but it got some chuckles and comments over the years, mostly by people who were definitely old enough to have seen this in person a lot in the late 90s.
Somehow I don’t believe this, it is too much out of character, even if it fits so nicely with how we want to see Elon. Did anyone here actually confirm this? I never used Twitter nor X or id check myself.

You do a lot of assuming for people who clearly have never dealt with that sort of things.

Crazy how people will believe the weirdest customer service stories (and have no problem relating because we've all been in a kafkaesque situation) but the second they can bash "the administration and civil servants" or "random people who get a little bit of help and are NOT me", all of that goes out the window and things are supposed to be perfect and run smoothly.

Yes, if you use limited-precision data types. But you have it the wrong way, if you first cancel out the $BIGNUM (ie. reorder to $BIGNUM - $BIGNUM + 1) the answer is 1; if you first evaluate $BIGNUM+1, the answer is 0 because $BIGNUM+1 has no representation distinct from $BIGNUM. Limited-precision arithmetic is not, in general, associative. Still arithmetic, though, just not in the ring of integers. But the whole point of the article was that it's, of course, possible to do better and get exact results.

Given the pretty large scale fraud here, do you expect people to go to prison for this? In the case that no-one is prosecuted and no-one goes to prison, how would you update your opinion on this story and on Elon in general?

I disagree with the idea that we should accept that homelessness and crippling drug addiction are socially acceptable and normal aspects of society just because the people going through them are suffering more than you are. I think it’s totally reasonable to express that the beach feeling dangerous and disgusting is in fact awful and that you do not like the state of things, and I do not want to live in a society where you can’t state opinions like this straightforwardly (which is why I left SF).

You do realise that the amount of "fraud" being discovered barely registers as a rounding error, right? That there is no significant amount being "wasted" here, right?

And none of that is about government efficiency or "saving money". Right?

Now that Elon has discovered all that fraud, how is the economy working out for you? How is the price of eggs doing? Have you finally become a millionaire now that all this red tape is gone? When is it supposed to happen? Why aren't you rich yet?
Ah, I misremembered then. Thanks!
Wow, hadn't heard of the punisher skull association either! It seems that it hasn't really traveled that much outside of America.

I did that for many years before attempting this. The results are not very different end of the day, zone training just seems to be a dumbed down framework to ensure consistency.
The 'feel' of a game can't be understated. I get the same vibes from KCD 2, where just walking through the environment is in itself a joy.

The thing I didn't like about Age of Empires compared to Settlers was that warfare is the main point of the game; I wish AoE had a plain city / society building mode. Actually it probably does via mods or custom maps, or there's other games that tick the AoE and city builder boxes. Settlers has war as well but I always felt it was secondary, definitely not something large scale.

I find reviews in tourist places in Europe are heavily gamed by flirty waiters and begging for 5* reviews, often with freebies like a free shot etc.

Interesting.

I think we’ll always have code that will need to be “formal” and deterministic. Banks, voting machines, cryptography, pacemakers, rockets, etc may all need the kind of “precise” software we have today. Precise software for precise machines.

I’m now wondering if there may be a new category of programs, that are more wishy-washy yet useful in the kind of way an LLM can be today. Computer games aren’t really mission critical, for example, and I imagine we’ll see deep learning models and LLMs embedded one day. I could imagine a kid generating game logic, maps, content, etc through a more intuitive and less formal interface. I already get ChatGPT to help me cook dinner or any other number of less precise tasks. Who knows what other new kinds of automation may be this way - to produce something “good enough” like a person would.

You are right. Empathy in the literal sense of only being able to relate with others that have the same experiences and interests. I appreciate that clarity.
People know this. This isn't confusing. The hypocracy being pointed out is when Elon Musk says that he is a free speech absolutist[1], yet consistently blocks his critics and competitors.

This is ignoring his very confused notion of what free speech is[2]

> By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law.

> I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law.

> If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect.

Not only is this inconsistent with his 'free speech absolutist' views, and inconsistent with Twitter's actions, but it states that he's actually all for the government censoring people. That's not even non-absolutist free speech.

ADHD: Is It Voice Activated? - https://digcoaching.com/adhd-voice-activated/
I'm not defending Twitter or their policy in any way (disclaimer: I left Twitter the moment Elmo took over. I despise his hypocrisy and his fascist ideas)

But this could be a "legitimate f-up". Normally, most of these unsafe-url protection and detection is automated in something with the scale of Twitter.

Just like URL-shorteners often are (were?) "seemingly randomly" banned, because a portion of the shared urls are pointing at malware/phishing/otherwise banned content, all urls from this shortener get banned. It may be that signal.me is simply picking up on amount of illegitimate links. Signal is clearly growing strong. Therefore signal.me links' are increasingly seen by Twitter. Most legitimate links, but the amount of illegitimate links will then also increase.

This would trigger an automated ban¹.

The real problem then is that even if it was deliberate (conspiracy theory: Mark messaged Elon: Pls help me curb the growth of the biggest competitor of Whatsapp?) twitter can easily hide behind "overzealous automation, sorry".

¹ Especially if this automation isn't maintained properly, finetuned and kept being tweaked by teams of experts - many of which left or were layd off after the aquisition of Twitter.

There's little advantage in raiding a colony six months away if you then have to spend another six months returning with the stolen goods before you can even use them.

With respect to space-based solar power and EM power transmission: my first thought is that a 10-kilometre diameter receiving antenna is totally doable, especially considering how much energy can be sent from space to this one rectenna. Such a rectenna can also double as a PV station.
MySQL used to have some rather dodgy defaults way back and some people haven't touched it for decades and assume it's still like that. Also it got acquired by Oracle at some point and many people just hate Oracle. Finally it is now cool to love Postgres more, or sqlite.

edit:
the url's are still visible in the mouse-over text popup, and the obfuscated site-redirection url does have the url in the address bar - but only time will tell before those vanish

honestly, any site that visibly displays one url as a hyperlink (underlines ect) and links to another site is practicing in malware style link hijacking. stop using those sites

I don't disagree that practically zero percent don't own a copy, but pretty much anyone in the UK can access the OED with a free library membership. It's pretty much the only thing I use my library card for these days.

If people do use a dictionary these days they most likely do use a Collins or Oxford Dictionaries (not the same as the OED). But I imagine that most people would just use a Google search and rely on the top box which itself is using Oxford Dictionaries for its definitions.
You're moving the goalpost. Here's the original quote:

> stop spending money the government doesn't have

Which has nothing to do with your response.
It doesn't do that. It rewrites the source address that outbound connections appear to come from; it doesn't implement any kind of access control.

Take two networks that are identical, except one is doing NAT and one isn't, and test them. Every connection that works on the without-NAT network will also work on the with-NAT network. The only difference you'll find is that some outbound connections which didn't work on the former will work on the latter.

Some would argue that "every connection that used to work still works, and some connections that didn't work before do now work" is kind of the opposite of a firewall.
