I didn’t know there was a comic series. I guess I’ll read that since Amazon pulled their animated series off of Prime.

In Germany you can always tell if a historic thing was good or bad by whether it started or ended in 1933.
We cannot stop collecting data about you because collecting the datum that you want to stop having your data collected failed.
I wonder if the situation in Europe is different, where such bullshit is illegal.
Or – just a thought – you’re reasonably confident that the shit you wrote actually works.
The website is quite tight-lipped regarding features. What’s a ‘smart playlist’?
I’m not sure anymore how I got into a state where that was necessary, but do keep a reference around for how to boot Linux or Windows from the Grub command line.
You vastly underestimate the tolerance of an average user who barely knows their way around a web browser and Word.
Second-hand physical books often cost 3,01€, where 3,00€ are shipping. That’s no match for digitals. Also I hate handheld devices that can’t take a beating (looking at you, smartphone). I’m clumsy. I drop things. Books survive that. E-readers… I don’t wanna test.
Also, for whatever reason, I read physical books more carefully than text on screen.
How would you decide what “1 unit of information” is?
I wouldn’t, because I have no knowledge in the field. But since the paper hinges upon that exact definition, and “They were vague about it”, this raises the biggest red flag I’ve seen in science yet.
That’s when you set the intern’s IDE to preserve the line endings.
It’s not about feeling better. It’s about getting the other person to understand that Google exists and that they can use it, too. Too many people refuse to put in any effort of their own and go ask someone instead.
IMHO in that situation answering isn’t even the right thing to do, since it encourages that behaviour and prevents the asker from learning to find out stuff for themselves. Something about fishing for hungry people or so…
When someone is genuinely stuck, doing research themselves allows the answerer not to go down the same dead ends, which saves time for both.
If that’s really what they did, it’s stupid. First, you need to find a translation for every language to ASCII, which will wildly skew the results. Second, there are many ways to express the same concept, which all vary wildly in length. Take “Hi”, 2 letters, which means exactly the same as “How are you doing?”, 14 letters.
You cannot even mark it as duplicate without providing a link to the answer. What are you talking about?
Peple misunderstand “Closed as duplicate” as an insult, when it’s just the hint to look at the provided link. If you didn’t find the answer previously, this just means there are multiple ways to express the problem, which use different words and thus don’t all find the same google result.
I don’t know. Maybe not flying just for fun—literally?
“We need to do something about climate change,“ he thought on his trans-Pacific flight home.
Sure you can write foo = 3
in JavaScript. It’s a global variable and can be referenced as either foo
or window.foo
.
sudo maintains ‘sudo state’ for 15 minutes. After that you need to enter the password again.
For those who don’t know: It’s basically an Age of Empires clone.
Why the fuck would they name it PRISM?
