It's fine, though it isn't the norm, presumably because authors fear their work might be taken less seriously; but if the content of the paper is good, it's fine to add a little character, or flourish. Some amusing titles fall into a similar category.

I've been using this for a few days now, and while I love the speed, I have experienced a couple of glitches with the file list e.g. duplicate files/folders shown, files missing, especially after doing a bunch of move/copy operations. I would have expected hitting F5 to refresh the view but I had to close the application and open again (blazingly fast) to get a fresh view of the folder's contents. It happened in side-by-side view, if relevant. Presumably some bug in the caching mechanism, at the very least I would force F5/refresh to do a fresh query of the current folders' contents and display correctly.

> How many under 16s read newspapers or watch news anyway?

Adults do, and the OP's argument is that everyone (not just U16's) will be driven away by the changes. Being asked to provide ID may result in some just noping out or not signing up to newer services when they otherwise might have.

Really? The headings look mediaeval

This is a lazy take.

What do you mean when you say it doesn't "work"? You click the windows icon and nothing comes up? It displays but nothing is clickable? On 2 different machines? Really? This seems like hyperbole. It sounds like there's a specific feature that doesn't work for you as it used to, but instead of describing the issue you've thrown up your hands and declared it to not work. If it truly does not open or respond to clicks I'd love to know about it and retract this comment!

I like GitKraken, except for the fact that it lacks the ability to show first parent only, i.e. `git log --first-parent`. That feature is available in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code (Git Graph extension), but I don't like these as much as GitKraken, so I end up switching between command line, GitKraken and VS/Code. It's a bit of a mess. Does Fork support `--first-parent`? It's especially hand in merge-heavy workflows with very noodly graphs that you want to simplify.

I clicked around a couple of links within that site and it looks like an absolute dog's breakfast on my mobile.

What? No they don't!

I use olauncher which has a super minimalist home screen. It doesn't block apps but it doesn't use icons. Instead you type the name of the app you want which I find makes me more purposeful with my phone usage. Turning off notifications for virtually every app also helps. If it's truly important I'll check it. Otherwise it's something I can look at once a day/week/month depending on the app.

> This day and age, the knowledge is at our fingertips.

I don't feel this way at all. I don't know how to access information about products that I know to be unbiased. I can certainly find comparison websites and blog posts, some of which I'm sure are unbiased, but it's not clear to be how to reliably ascertain which is which.

What on earth are you on about. I just built some classifiers to run in industrial settings, why is it my job to do or say anything about Taylor Swift deepfakes.

> Because it's up to people like you to demonstrate to society that

Condescending as shit.

That's a rather daft take.

I'm confused. The original article is in favour of typed languages. Aren't you in agreement?

I think the poster's point is that it really should be the person's own choice what they watch. The moralising around what gets chosen is tangential.

I doubt there's any confusion. The purported meaning of the phrase is clear. But its usage in practice is often (but not always) quite punishing toward masculinity in general.

The article seems to conflate accuracy and recall:

> AI-powered earthquake forecasting scores 70% accuracy

> The AI accurately predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance, with 14 forecasts coming true within 200 miles of their estimated locations and matching their anticipated magnitudes. However, it issued eight false warnings and missed one earthquake.

The precision was 14/(14+8) (64%) and recall was 14/(14+1) (93%) which means the F1 score was .756. The accuracy was 14/(14+8+1) (61%). I'm not sure where they got the 70% from, perhaps a different F metric. In any event, it's clear the author is confused about the terminology.

I've done this but have lost access to wireless payments (Google Pay). Any workarounds?

I've been on Android for more than a decade, and I still don't know what I'm "supposed" to be using. I have switched out that stuff for third party apps a few years back. Was a disaster zone, I'm sure it still is.

The ribbon and the dreaded save panel make me anxious just thinking about them. WHY is saving a so many clicks?!?

What's the best medium to store on? I see USB thumb drives with 512GB capacity these days. Easy to write a couple and keep in the cupboard. Or is hard disk better? External USB?

Brother rejected my 3rd party toner on the MFC-L3750CDW after an automatic firmware update. Fuck them, I said at the time.

Then I bought a far cheaper second-hand Brother printer, turned off firmware updates, and have continued using 3rd party toner. So only kind-of fuck them, I guess, because their printers do the job pretty well.

But I am glad I switched to mono, because the colour MFC would have cost AUD$550+ on genuine toner (3 colour + 1 black). Too much for casual usage once a month.

May I ask what specifically some of the issues have been? I know it's digging into a personal area so feel free to ignore this, but I'm curious what kind of issues can arise.

The general public does not care at all about that. It's the experience alone that matters. Lemmy is confusing and weird to the majority who look into it.

So I clicked "sign up" and it suggested checking if there might be another instance best suited to my needs, so I followed the proposed link to https://join-lemmy.org/ and got the "join a server"/"run a server" option. After clicking "join a server" and scrolling the list of half added descriptions I just left because it felt like I was supposed to be making a choice about the community I want to join before even checking the damn thing out. Reddit is the opposite, just sign up and explore the subreddits and pick the ones you like. If Lemmy is anything like that, it's not clear at all and my experience turned me away in the exact way the previous poster described. It felt like I had to pick the subreddit first with no idea what was inside. It sucks. It sucks bad and it won't win in its current state.

It's not the same if you need to allocate memory for the result. If you could pass the result in by reference, then you could (re)use a buffer which has already been allocated. The difference is massive in things like matrix calculations or image processing where you have an inner loop or a real-time stream repeating similar calculations.

I've experienced this. My $500 MFC is a brick unless I go out and purchase a genuine Brother toner, despite having spent several hundred dollars on a stash of generics. At some point they just stopped working.

And just to be clear: they didn't just disable the printer; I can't even use the scanner on top unless I go and buy the Brother toners.

Screw Brother. I'm tired of reading that they're "the one good brand" out there. They are very not.

> Debt is a drain on your revenues; the thing you did to incur the debt is a boost to your revenues; if you take too long to pay back the debt, it's an overall loss.

> CFOs can calculate that. Engineers don't like to.

Engineers don't get to, in many cases. It's often the managers steering the ship at full pelt.

It's alright for one person to think this way, but if everyone did we'd be in a bit of trouble as a society. I think the reality is in the middle anyway, i.e. very few people are desperately gripped to each and every story, and if you think you're supposed to care about every story then you're missing the point of the news. Chances are enough people will care about each story to make it worthwhile running, even when many (or most) people don't care. If you're picking up the paper and literally zero stories affect you, well okay then! But you'd be in the minority. For most people there's something in there worth knowing. Even if it's not every single day. Most people benefit from knowing something about what's happening at least weekly. In hindsight this is a really odd article.

FYI the headings in this blog are barely legible in bromite for me, I can imagine they're supposed to look that way
