I just want to take a moment and say your website has been a real lifesaver. So many headaches avoided by consulting it!

Does anyone remember how LibraryThing does (did?) sell CueCats and they are a really handy way to upload your book and music collection online https://www.librarything.com/more/sto…

I've used a personal wiki for several years now, and I think it works just fine. Surprisingly, I don't really link pages together all that much, but I make heavy use of tagging and…

I noticed you haven't shared your email address in your profile. Surely if muting is sufficient you would accept that it's a risk-free action?

This is kinda what happened with Mastodon wrt to ActivityPub. Lots of what the Fediverse means is how Mastodon chooses to use the protocols. Often in ways that aren't even complian…

You don't need moral realism to arrive at a set of mutually agreed upon moral values. You don't have to agree with your friends on what's the best food in the world is in order to …

One thing also to keep in mind is it's often hard to keep a project working because the ecosystem evolves around the project. So updates are needed just for existing functionality …

I know there is IWW's "Rusty's rules of order" that tries to simplify these procedures and remove some of the archaic bits. https://libcom.org/article/how-hold-good-meeting-rustys-…

Then I suppose you won't mind me posting it for you right?

The real cost is in the repaving and that's much more a property of weight of the vehicles. Bike infrastructure is significantly cheaper to create and maintain compared to nearly a…

I grew up in Brooklyn and supermarkets didn't really become a thing here until the 2000s. Like there was Key Food, but that felt more like a general store. There was a Waldbaum in …

What can we do as users or contributers to help improve the accuracy of this extension? It's already amazing and would love to see it get even better.

I love everything about what you have planned. Is there anything in the works for creating more keyboard options? While mechanical keyboards might be too impractical, even somethin…

Ok I see where my confusion was. For you propositions are things that can be associated with measurable sets.

> No, it doesn't. A continuous distribution is just a way of assigning probabilities to a parameterized set of propositions where the parameters are continuous and so the set is in…

That framing actually stops holding for continuous distributions. Like in a distribution on heights of people there isn't a probability or prior associated with a particular height…

Why do you feel politicians and tech executives like to say automation threatens to do all these things? How do they benefit from this narrative that has zero evidence to support i…

While often ignored, item-to-item similarity recommenders work really well for new items and have been the basis for Amazon's and YouTube's early recommendation algorithms https://…

Most of these systems entail developing a shorthand. For operations you expect to do a lot you assign one-syllable commands.

Maybe moral obligation is the wrong phrasing. But if you are major company with investors, perhaps a fiduciary responsibility to your shareholders and customers to fund the softwar…

I'm a huge fan and use your program basically daily. I don't know why it's not the default in most systems.

I also highly recommend plocate as an alternative to locate. It's much faster and accepts all the same flags as locate. https://plocate.sesse.net/

I don't know what barbershops you go to, but most I have been in involve lots of spirited discussion about politics.
