The layer with the radial gradient you're putting in front of the Turing Test card blocks interaction with it - can't click or hover on its links.

Github's major closed-source Copilot extension reenables itself if you try to tone down the aggressiveness of its suggestions. Some malware / reverse-useless-machine vibes. A lot o…

The article didn't focus too much on solutions, though a couple of things were mentioned: 1. Reducing patent protection 2. Price controls (?) So let's assume we want these companie…

Looks like it's "mod_speling" from an old version of apache: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_speling.html

Not to mention the innovations that voluntary regulatory standards plus enlightened self-interest have enabled in the manned submersible space.

I think maybe it's only strange if you assume the SEC has unlimited money and time. Grandparent comment says it better, but they're likely focusing on cases they think are pretty c…

This appears to be a human interest piece (specifically a local Welsh one) rather than science journalism. A quick check of the Wikipedia page for "Asteroid impact avoidance" indic…

This is salient too though: The new Java-based implementation has improved performance significantly, and made Storm's internal APIs more maintainable and extensible. It's not tota…

Yeah, not a great article and doesn't seem concerned with the "why." A couple of possible explanations: 1. There are beneficial effects other than tax revenue - maybe these municip…

The author's point that functional programming principles are important to systems programming and should be taught alongside it is well taken. I think he confuses the issue somewh…
