A couple of years ago I was read news articles about heat waves so severe that birds were falling down the sky. Pretty apocalyptic. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/climate-and-people...

From what I read from the PR comments, the case is that the unsafe blocks behave in a way that allows for UB. This is expected, because unsafe rust can leave your program in an unhealthy state, since the language doesn't doesn't h

I used window managers for years, but the hurdle of actually configuring stuff not-related to the WM itself (like setting up dark mode) made me switch to a full-fledged desktop environment. Thanks for mentioning Noctalia - it looks like exa

This is an insightful comment, but I feel like you omit the fact that LLMs often give out verifiably false information that can hurt the user or other people. It is true that this also happens on the Internet, but! When I encounter an artic

I wish the most popular software forge didn't include a bunch of other software solutions like issue tracking or forums. Having everything in one service definitely increases interoperability between those solutions, but it definitely

How is Sweden, Finland or Norway in any way socialist? I haven't heard anything about seizing the means of production or overthrowing of the capitalist class from them. Unless you treat governments doings stuff as socialism, then I gue

IMF forces countries to adopt austerity politics[1], causing lower economic activity and often leading to economy shrinkage[2], and forces countries to open their markets to foreign capital, which leads to surplus extraction abroad. Both of

Very true, let's look at some of the strategic partners of the US: Saudi Arabia, an absolute monarchy, Israel, a state currently committing genocide.

Start with the City Watch series of Discworld. If you like Guards! Guards! then you'll like the next books. After reading a couple of them I'd start branching into other series.

They could use the heuristics to build a list of domains to block and then have someone review it. After doing it for a long time, they could build a neural model on top of that, and automate it. As I have said, the reason they don't d

The issue with the 97% percent you arrived at is the implicit assumption that only people from the US read the article.

Just block the domain. At first, you can block manually, but we know Google doesn't like doing things that way. Fortunately, they have a lot of heuristics to find sites like that; usually the content is just copied from another source.

At first, I upovted zepolen's comment about there being no social contract, only license, but something bugged me about that, and I felt that I wasn't right. After thinking about it for a while, I think that you are right, there i

I wholeheartedly agree with you. The importance of those people has been proven when, during the first waves of COVID, they stopped being called low wage workers , and instead words like essential workers were used much more often. I wor

As I mentioned above - one or two clauses like that won't hurt performance, but I have seen situations, when bad CSS (a lot of *'s, too long selectors, a lot of dead and unused clauses) actually had a measurable impact on websites

Note that the owl selector is pretty slow when it comes to being processed by browsers. If you use it sparingly, it shouldn't be so bad, but leave it all over the place, and you'll see the impact

I'm not asking whether the expansion happened, but whether you think whether it happened because people in the US dislike each other, which is a completely different questions altogether

Are you sure this is what really happened? The US built cities like any other country on this planet, but the influx of immigrants and people's pursuit of wealth pushed them to settle new lands and establish new population centres. Wha

I don't think that is true. If you look at how larger residential areas looked in the States historically, you'll these placese were very livable, since there weee no cars. The main issue in the US is that at some point the jobs o
