    It's fine, though it isn't the norm, presumably because authors fear their work might be taken less seriously; but if the content of the paper is good, it's fine to add a little ch…

    I've been using this for a few days now, and while I love the speed, I have experienced a couple of glitches with the file list e.g. duplicate files/folders shown, files missing, e…

    > How many under 16s read newspapers or watch news anyway? Adults do, and the OP's argument is that everyone (not just U16's) will be driven away by the changes. Being asked to pro…

    What do you mean when you say it doesn't "work"? You click the windows icon and nothing comes up? It displays but nothing is clickable? On 2 different machines? Really? This seems …

    I like GitKraken, except for the fact that it lacks the ability to show first parent only, i.e. `git log --first-parent`. That feature is available in Visual Studio and Visual Stud…

    I clicked around a couple of links within that site and it looks like an absolute dog's breakfast on my mobile.

    I use olauncher which has a super minimalist home screen. It doesn't block apps but it doesn't use icons. Instead you type the name of the app you want which I find makes me more p…

    What on earth are you on about. I just built some classifiers to run in industrial settings, why is it my job to do or say anything about Taylor Swift deepfakes. > Because it's up …

    That's a rather daft take.

    I'm confused. The original article is in favour of typed languages. Aren't you in agreement?

    What's the best medium to store on? I see USB thumb drives with 512GB capacity these days. Easy to write a couple and keep in the cupboard. Or is hard disk better? External USB?
