A relevant bit of self-promotion maybe: I created a small language server for systemd unit files which may help those having to integrate services with it. https://github.com/psaca…

Anyone who has had to sift through large BNFs such as [0, 1] to find that the syntax error was a syntactically significant "TO" knows that this is the case. Natural language has sy…

Never was it more appropriate to say "Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past." By engaging in systemic historical revisionism, Google…

> Major private media corporations in poland were already closely aligned with PiS [...] This statement is an outright lie. For example, Gazeta Wyborcza, all of Agora Media, and TV…

Technoparasitism. In my opinion, the very premise of AI girlfriends veers so far away from human flourishing that privacy concerns seem entirely secondary.

This is a remarkable inversion. The primary reason people forego children in the west is because it throws a wrench in their comfortable lifestyle. They prefer to live unto themsel…

If you are asking for examples of brutal acts performed or ordered by Muhammed, here is a long list [0]. Most notable to me is the murder of 600-900 captive non-combatants. This is…

The accounts in primitve terms obscure it's true meaning. It's just a analytic function on the moduli space of elliptic curves. The collection of equivalence classes of elliptic cu…

Is there any intention of eventually supporting DML or DDL statements? That's when the COBOL-like nature of SQL syntax is most frustrating. For example, in order to run "ALTER COLU…

Idiotic clickbait headline seeks to insinuate that there was something dishonest about her racing, when in reality her participation broke a false belief (a "lie") that women were …

A phishing strategy this enables: confusing the https:// URI scheme with the file:// pseudo-URI scheme. For example, we receive a phishing email which reads "This is the bank with …

Before you get all jubilant, note that they have fingerprinting techniques which don't use JS[0]. It was able to identity me. Contrary to popular opinion, disabling JS doesn't prot…

Facile comparisons like this are very frustrating. Two thoughts: i) What makes you believe that they weren't correct, and the timespan for this annihilation isn't e.g. 100 years? T…

What can I say, man? History is absolutely chock full of examples that show that other identity groups can represent existential threats, including very recent ones: Chinese genoci…

It happens all the time for software that is copyleft-licensed in projects that are unwilling to also adopt a copyleft license. For example, it blocks linking the node interpreter …

The likely confounding variable is just age: the oldest segments of the US population are the most caucasian, and these are the populations least like to use smartphones. So the co…

Good: - Sidebar for navigation Bad: - Wasted screen space - Other languages are not available as a simple anchor tag anymore. They are hidden behind elements. It's annoying for rea…

Very interesting. Anyone has any idea about the technology that could be used for imaging more dense ICs and multilayer PCBs? In a presentation elsewhere, Ken says that he used a m…

For those who'd like to see similar techniques in action, a popular Youtuber recently made an iron arrowhead using iron age(?) metallurgical techniques [0]. He gathers water contai…
