Right. Because compute power and/or a physics based model is the limiting factor for accurately predicting when a seismic event happens. Training on historic data is hardly the pro…

I saw beta screenshots of what used to be the toolbar (e.g. in Finder) and immediately disabled auto-update on my Mac. Seeing how many bugs have also been introduced (not just visu…

Trust me 1-Star-Drive-By Reviews by "customers" without any merit are just as bad for businesses. So, congrats. You've basically discovered that online review systems suck. Look at…

I'm of the opinion that this is bad design because it makes it very hard to reason about the consequences when refactoring a large codebase. It's kind of like reactive global varia…

The AI slop images on this website are honestly such a turn off. Especially considering that BBSs are all about text.

John has reiterated multiple times on his podcast that he doesn't want to deal with thousands of support requests when making his apps open source and free. All his apps are person…

I think this is in reference to OpenOffice but the wording is rather confusing.

For what it's worth: they do honor the robots.txt file. I had the same problem with a client's CMS and denying all AI crawler user agents did the trick. It's clear they've all gone…

Ever heard of SETI@home? https://setiathome.berkeley.edu

That's an interesting stack choice. A desktop client that uses Django as a backend. I kept wondering how this is rendered client side. TIL about NW.js.

Right?! What a Fad! Arm SOCs only run billions of devices today. What do they know. Old trusty hasn’t failed me yet! slaps the enormous heat pipe leading to the dust-filled fan

Yes that’s why track redundancies are important. And not just for construction. Local and Intercity connections would benefit as well.

What are you talking about? DB Infrago is a subsidiary of DB and is as such governed by the board. The fact that they are separate entities has purely corporate legal reasons.

Now could Deutsche Bahn please also invest in some actual infrastructure, trains and make them go on time? That‘d be great! Thanks.

Being able to apply algorightms and implemnent data structures isn't what makes you a good programmer. Writing maintainable code for yourself and your team members, documenting imp…

Well my school did trips to the local library so that everyone could acquire their paper card for borrowing books. The process of borrowing and the different sections in the librar…

Consider yourself lucky. I too am in Germany and and I get calls on almost a daily basis. Robo and otherwise. Same with WhatsApp messages. I have my number for close to 20 years no…

If it's a managed hosting situation: some providers allow you to create email aliases that redirect to other addresses. That way you could have something like `foo42@acme.com` forw…

Building on that you could even trigger a MouseEvent for `mailto:` and obfuscate the address enough in JavaScript code.

The content of the post is underwhelming; the more interesting part is the comments. Probably just an ad for the books. But some of the comments really are heartbreaking. Tangentia…
