Fun little nugget, Australian Sulphur Crested Cockatoos almost universally favour their left feet as a holdfast. They're also left eye dominant.

Relevant video from Ann Reardon's How To Cook That about exploding Pyrex (and the difference between all capitals and all lowercase): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVbkDAw4aJs

Turned out that distinction isn't too reliable when it comes to determining whether a product used soda lime glass or borosilicate glass instead.

Odd. That is not there for me and I cannot add it :( I have the same problem as OP. I wish it were simple.

FWIW, in the future, the recommended way to build KDE applications (including Dolphin) on macOS is by using Craft[1]

Much easier and quicker than going the kde-builder route, and it should package applications properly :)

I think it was Microsoft FrontPage that had the most undigestible output at the time.

Nah, I would argue that was Microsoft Word's (Office?) Save as Web Page feature. Which is what I built my first few websites in as a kid haha before learning about FrontPage and pirating that (back in 2003). FrontPage was a dream in comparison. Then I learned that FrontPage was also not as good, and learnt Dreamweaver is the better option so pirated and tried to use that shortly after, but the WYSIWYG of FrontPage was leagues better to my little child brain. Ah, nostalgia :')

I had a go, but there were a few I wasn't really sure by. To the creator, can you add a "Not sure" option?

The reason this causes so much suspicion is because we westerners are terrified of what that would mean for the rest of the world.

It would mean having to eschew the neoliberal ideals that impede research and development in favour of the old that made America and to some extent the rest of the West the dominant superpower in R&D for many decades. We should be familiar with it, even if we have lived all or most of ours lives in the former.

Or it would be hard to convert back and we'd have a war first.

It's been a decade at this point since the last big distro (and surrounding drama), Debian and Ubuntu following shortly after, moved to systemd.

And where will the money come from for this second study? What about a third? Fourth?

We live in a money-dependent world. We cannot go without it.

Haircare as well :)

I don't know if this exists or not, but I'd like to try something like a fuse filesystem which can transparently copy a file to a fast scratch SSD when it is first accessed.

There have been and are attempts at addressing the usability gap of tech by the more tech illiterate over the years. Particularly, Linux projects such as Ordissimo[1], Eldy[2], and Endless OS[3]. I am sure there are plenty of other projects, as well (including Apple's new iPhone Assistive Access mode[4]. As sad as it may be, the market would probably be non-existent in a decade or two as newer generations enter aged care having already been somewhat familiar with computers and phone technology.

The main problem with canaries is that it's dead easy for a government to remove them from existence, simply issue subpoenas to every website that has one.

Why can't social media platforms implement warrant canaries per user profile?

Oh my gosh, TortoiseSVN and TortoiseCVS. Now that's a blast from the past. Wow.

Are we at a fifth-generation programming language yet?

This is also a cultural thing. Compare the US to Australia for example, Australia is often remarked as very clean in comparison and the culture in Australia is to hold onto trash until it can be placed in the nearest trash bin and everything remains relatively clean in comparison (whether in urban areas or campgrounds).

What you’re likely referring to is Common Crawl: https://commoncrawl.org

You can’t survive or support a family with a single income these days.. It’s required for both partners to work.

It's in the first paragraph of the article: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2309.07928

Really only needs to be done once daily. Twice daily is recommended because people tend to not brush their teeth properly and miss things. Doing it twice tends to hit the areas missed in the first pass.

I backed this game on Kickstarter back in 2012. I don’t care for all this focus on multiplayer, I was just in it for the singleplayer aspect. I wish they would just deliver that.

Yes, you’re exactly right. Humanity tinkered with it by deliberately not wearing masks and vaccinating, which caused it to mutate and spread. If only everybody just wore masks and isolated for a couple of weeks, there’d be no COVID at all

I understand the desire for multi-threaded CPython scripts, but why not do a PHP5 -> PHP7 and focus on single-thread performance more, particularly around implementing a JIT? We know from PyPy (and other JIT-enabled languages like NodeJS) that performance improvements can be significant. I feel like that should be the primary focus for speedups, and have always wondered why the idea has never been more popular. Has a CPython JIT been ruled out for some reason I'm not familiar with?

I'd love to be able to purchase something like this and a weather station that will submit data to a free public service so people can receive better and more accurate / timely weather data. I can't tell if that is possible out of the box via AirGradient from this website (or if such a service even exists, as they only mention "24 months AirGradient data platform / map" which implies proprietary)? Do people know of a similar solution for a weather station?

Yep! I have the Evolv, and I use the third-party MedM BP apps[1][2] to sync the readings from the device via bluetooth to my phone (and HealthKit). No first-party app needed.

PYREX, all capitals. pyrex, all lowercase, are soda lime glass and terrible.

How does recursion / recursive queries work, e.g. tree-like data structures? How are cycles represented and handled? Particularly around performance?
