I would go further: Anyone who has published a "scientific paper" in the last decade or so either "distrusts science" or is more likely than not a mid-wit at best. Your posting doesn't give me the impression that yo

Aren't there companies that provide the "caching server for free" as a service? If I understand the author right, the big companies are allowed to set up caching servers at ISPs. Isn't this basically a CDN? If you spin u

Quite a bit? You have a lot of videos, most of which in many formats, often up to 4k. Storage alone likely costs a few pennies (if not more). Then all the network traffic (a sizable fraction of the entire internet traffic), transcoding &amp

If one were really great with this - would it be possible to reproduce both the Richter and the Gould version of the WTC 1 Prelude in C Major (except maybe some flourishes)? For reference, the first few minutes of these links: - https:&#x

Being the IT guy for the elderly people in my family, these days 90% of the issues they are having is with the scummy shit that Microsoft is pulling constantly. E.g. my mother even has Office 365 and still constantly gets offers to upgrade

Also pretty bad. Might get somewhere in a few years but currently this is only noise.

I don't see how any of these cases prove your point. None of these offenders seem to fit a profile of someone that is a threat to public safety.

I think the point of the lyrics is to have "zendesk", "alternative" and "open source" on the same page for SEO reasons.

This is well known to be wrong. I'm not sure why it's repeated so often.

Though 1899 was really a genuinely bad series. I think if someone summarized the plot you would think it's a meme on r/iam14andthisisdeep Netflix might be doing weird stuff but 1899 is a really bad example because the mistake ther

I applied as SWE in 2018 an was asked whether I ever thought doing Data Science instead. I said I thought about it but it didn't appeal to me, for reasons similar to the article. Still, I got hired as Data Scientist. The money was good

Austria would be one such country. Technically, a law was passed but a court decided that a law must be passed and if the government didn't it would have been dismissed.

I made a PayPal account when I was 17 and used it happily for 12 years. In 2021 (being almost 30 years old) I got a payment from US (I'm in the EU) and had to provide ID to PayPal. They figured out that I made my account a few months b

I think it doesn't count characters in the body but I am sure Dan could add this as optional feature (though I think it's a bad idea to enforce 80 chars there. Maybe a max line length would be better). Also, I think it doesn'

I tried a few Git clients over the years and am proficient with the CLI. My impression is that Fork captures how git actually works better than some of the other GUI tools and it has a lot of handy features that make certain tasks a pleasur

Given their headcount of 4k with the usual engineering salaries and some infrastructure it's not that surprising I would say. edit: misread your question - removed the stupid joke.

I've been using Streamlit for roughly half a year to build various dashboards and GUIs for custom analysis scripts and I am honestly neither surprised that they were acquired nor by the price tag. Our data is quite complicated and need

While the point seems worthwhile, the animations don't help at all. Stuff moves around for no reason (some graph layouting algorithm with easing I guess), the looping is bad and it's annoying to wait for the changes and as they ha

TikZ & pgfplots are really nice if you get over the initial learning curve and prefer programmatically defining things rather than drawing by hand. E.g. in my theses all figures (except one in my first thesis) were made with TiKZ with c

If you lie about having a job this can be found out (they can call the place) If you omit one or several jobs, I don't know how they would know (call all places to see if you also worked there?).

Some (e.g. Marc Andreessen: https://richardhanania.substack.com/p/flying-x-wings-into-th... ) say, 90% are either wrong or useless. It's roughly what I would guess as well.
