However obscure this page might be, I was there just a few days ago. Clicked on it from this article about a tree that was cut down, and it was apparently a big thing in the UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sycamore_Gap_tree

It's as if there are two different actors and only one is an ally that can be held responsible by the government people are actually protesting "to".

One factor I haven't seen mentioned is the catastrophic decline in quality of Google search. That started pre-llm and now the site is almost unusable to search web. You can access something you know exists and you know where it exists, but to actually search..?

Most SO users are passive readers who land there using search, but these readers are also the feed of new active users. Cut off the influx, and the existing ones will be in decline (the moderation just accelerates it).

Do you mean wire and tool manufacturers? Electrician is mostly a user. Or to avoid flawed analogies - should books on Windows, Office, ... be only limited to a small subset of Microsoft employees? I'd assume the book is for users, what does it matter if the author contributed to the project?

And that's still ignoring that evangelism is also a valuable contribution.

So are you just verifying/factchecking everything it tells you? How is that a good learning experience? And if you don't, you are learning made up stuff, so not great either.

It's a good tool to learn stuff, I'm not trying to argue that, but one has to be fully aware of its shortcomings and put in extra work. With actual tutorials or books you have at least some level of trust.

Always had. From blocking features by UA to ads worth billions of dollars (only little of which they had to actually pay).

So does that also solve the many issues

I've never worked on a super big project, so when it comes to python dependancies the issue I always had is some C/C++ packages trying to build locally and fsiling. While this is mostly a problem on windows I've encountered it on mac as well. I assume uv doesn't have a way to solve this?

And the important lesson from that the k/v-like aspect of it. That the "schema" is horizontal (is that a thing?) and not column-based. But I actually only read it on their blog IIRC and never even got the full details - that there's still a third ID column. Thanks for the link.

> What did you do once you arrived in Budapest?

You will be perfectly fine staying in Budapest with just English; you can learn hello, please, and thank you to be polite. This goes for most bigger European cities, outside of France I guess.

If you travel to Budapest from Berlin you buy the ticket from DB and the crew changes as follows: German, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian. None of the first three crews would speak Hungarian. Luckily all will be able to communicate in English.

(regular announcements oftentimes won't be in Hungarian until you are in Hungary, that depends on the train origin, but I would only expect local+English)

Honestly, it should be an obligation. DB should make it one for themselves. DB carries millions of people a year that do not speak the language. Important information like route changes should be available to them. English just happens to be the most likely language to be understood at least enough to ask staff/other passengers as to what is going on.

How many X servers named Pheonix are there? Surely it doesn't matter if there are frameworks and libraries of the same name in other areas. It's inevitable to have collisions like this.

I used to use GIMP as an example of OSS desktop applications having bad UX, I mean back around 2010 maybe. The UX felt plain horrible. Anything I every tried there was pain to achieve. And there was plethora of desktop applications having the same issue back then. "Geeks can't do UI".

I feel like that has changed? Even Blender felt good the last time I used it, Firefox became kinda fine, though these are probably bad examples as they are both mainstream software. But what about OSS that is used primarily by OSS enthusiasts? What about GIMP now?

Not at all. With human you can have some expectations based on context, expertise. They are also far less likely to make up extremely specific details.

Isn't it empty interface that's idiomatic? Or was anyway?

edit: I may be wrong here

No, the AI is only building AI features now, or so they say.

It's possible to deduce password hashes by timing responses over the internet if the server isn't using constant time comparison. Noise is just that, a noise.

Can't you just implement javascript interpreter and import is-even package like normal developers?

Yes, ESP8266. FWIW, https worked when bluetooth was disabled.

Random anecdote: I have a device in which the http client can't handle https. Runs out of memory and crashes. Wasn't able to find a free host with a public http to host a proxy.

This puzzle would become extra trivial with syntax highlighting.

> you can just audit the binary with tools”

That statement also said you have to audit binary even if the code is open source. Which isn't entirely true as other comments pointed out - reproducible builds - but the idea doesn't seem like pushing back to me. It was to point out that open source doesn't automatically imply any level of trust when it comes to security/privacy.

> anyone who still wants to talk about it is just a pointless shit-stirrer.

Talk about Brexit you mean? I think it's important to point out if it was a bad decision caused by deception, even more so if that was driven by illegal foreign influence. One can learn and perhaps something similar won't happen again, be it in UK or elsewhere. Brexit bombing already had a positive effect on other countries where this topic went from prime serious discussion to something only Russian parrots keep bringing up.

I don't think that's the OP's issue, it's just in this context.

Can someone from the industry confirm whether they use metric internally and the stream uses imperial just for the patriotic show or whether imperial units are used because some countries use different unit systems and this is normal?

On a related note, I don't think anyone is bothered buying screens (monitor/phone/...) labeled in inches, but orbital elevations and speeds? Weird.

At least until a certain level, scrambling (according to a given "algorithm") is a good way to practice moves. It shouldn't take much longer than a solution either, you are not solving the cube in under 30 moves. And if you don't care about the scramble it's even faster. So I don't think the "way more time" is entirely accurate. It may feel like it though.

It needs to be somewhat smart, if you want to track your scrambles and times. But yes, it doesn't need cameras if it trusts you.

You can be open source and not take contributions. This argument doesn't make sense to me. Just stop doing the expensive part and keep the license as is.

Exactly, it will be installed for you!

You don't need to play the game to gamble.

It's not experiences anymore, just engineered content.
