It’s wild that this was how he ended the comic strip.

Realistically, probably not much for people outside of the tech industry. People will use the best tool for the job, and whether it’s foss or not won’t matter.

Mint. It just works and Cinnamon is a good DE (ui design peaked in the Windows XP days). Plus you also get all the software built and tested for Ubuntu without the bullshit of using Ubuntu.

For my server I use NixOS, because having one unified configuration is so nice.

Looks like the AI was confused as to whether he was wearing sandals or not. And also didn’t understand sleeves.

When going from point a to point b takes ages or is otherwise a pain. I get you worked hard on your world, but it losses its charm the 10th time running across it.

And don’t force me to hold/tap a button to sprint. Or worse, make me click in the left stick.

240v on the USB data lines.

Probably only if the word “AI” is in the title…

It’ll still slow them down and reduce load on your server. I also think many of these crawlers focus on volume; time spent computing the hash is time not spent crawling someone else’s site.

Most registrars have some form of whois protection now, so the only people who can easily see it are the registars themselves (and the government that controls them).

Assuming you’re paying for a domain using real money, they’ll need your information on file as part of the online payment anyway, so using a fake id doesn’t really hide anything from them.

I’ve seen people suggesting and using Anubis, haven’t used it myself though.

If you’re a writer and have to turn to the make-things-up-machine to make things up, why are you even a writer in the first place?

People who have a favourite pencil.

Firstly, the Prime Minister and an MP are very different, so it’s not really a fair comparison. Replacing an MP with one of the same party might result in what? Your bins being taken out on a different day?

Anyway, I think this is a “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good situation”. Without any safeguards, an assassination is most likely to come from someone across the political spectrum than someone next to them. So it makes sense to focus on preventing that even if it does open a potential (risky to execute) exploit.

… Isn’t wanting to kill someone with vastly different views more common than wanting to kill someone with only slightly different views?

Like, sure someone could kill someone in the party they like for the chance to get someone they like better in power. But realistically it won’t change much (they’re still bound by the same whip) and it’s not worth the risk of going to jail.

Skipped to the “ugly” part of the article and I kind of agree with the language being hard?

I think a bigger problem is that it’s hard to find “best practices” because information is just scattered everywhere and search engines are terrible.

Like, the language itself is fairly simple and the tutorial is good. But it’s a struggle when it comes to doing things like “how do I change the source of a package”, “how do I compose two modules together” and “how do I add a repo to a flake so it’s visible in my config”. Most of this information comes from random discourse threads where the responder assumes you have a working knowledge of the part of the codebase they’re taking about.

Tried the demo of this when it first came out and honestly wasn’t a fan.

The demo was very short and didn’t have any difficult puzzles. I get that it’s just a demo, but I wanted to see a taste for how far the mechanics could go.

I also really didn’t click with the story, which was most of the demo’s runtime. I assume that some people will be interested in the story, but personally I’m not interested in a minute of gameplay being broken up by 5 minutes of watching a guy trying to figure out how Japan works.

Shenzen I/O had a similar theme, but approaches it with a “less is more” philosophy; portraying character personality and interactions in a few lines of text.

Presumably because the “AI” that these people are working on is different from what’s being shoved down our throat by aibros.

Stuff like folding proteins or whatever it is they do all day.

Foxes can eat fish, so I guess the scent is similar enough?

Hmm? Sorry, did you say something?

This seems a bit of a risky move… Lets see if this gamble pays off.
