Yes it's bad and it'll only get worse but how about thinking positive and towards ways out of the crisis? If your problem is with social media specifically, you could join the Fediverse (Mastodon, Piefed/Lemmy and co.) which

If you mean letting an LLM generate code for a Prolog planner from an English problem description, that has been done successfully already with last year's models eg [1]. [1]: https://quantumprolog.sgml.net

Having witnessed forums languishing and closing down, and attempts to open up new ones with almost nobody signing up, I wonder if the reluctance of giving away credentials is a generational thing. It seems Lemmy-style/Piefed Reddit Fed

Fedi review sites (neodb/reviewdb, bookwyrm) make use of JSON-LD in a big way. Their entire data federation is based on ActivityStreams and JSON-LD, and so is the review data they get authors to share on their federation along with leg

Are you referring to ActivityPub traffic (Mastodon, etc.)? Yes they're nominally using JSON-LD, but actually most devs seem to not have understood that ActivityStreams is just a projection of RDF triples into JSON. Instead they go with

Indeed a very odd sight between WC matches. I don't normally watch much TV, but I think this warrants further investigation and inquiry. No mention of long-term stake of EU in ActivityPub platforms either, as if W would be our savior.

Unfortunately, epub and epubcheck isn't the great uncontroversial resource the author makes it out to be. When W3C, Inc. took over maintenance of the EPub spec around when 3.1 was current, they just referenced WHATWG HTML and other eve

Do people use python for new projects apart from ML stuff which hasn't moved to all-native yet? My experience with Python is a really bad one for professional work: it's chaotic and slow, and has by far the worst versioning and pa

I only have used the power connector on a Surface Go tablet but have really no complaints. I've never been much of an MS person, but with that thing Windows (10) certainly left on a high note for me.

Not familiar with Erlang that much, but it's pretty clear Erlang was prototyped on Prolog because of its convenient facilities for DSLs using op/3 to define new tokens for its built-in bottom-up expression parser (using operator p

Prolog is actually a perfect fit for all kinds of adventure, role playing, strategy, and classic board/card games, with clauses representing game rules and facts representing the game state and universe in the most natural way. Simple

SGML has at least SP/OpenSP, sgmljs, and nsgml as full-featured, stand-alone parsers. There are also parsers integrated into older versions of products such as MarkLogic, ArborText, and other pre-XML authoring suites, renderers, and CM
