https://soupault.net/ is about using plain HTML, but doing index pages, RSS feeds and so on from that. You even get away with not having frontmatter, because CSS like selectors allow those meta pages to retrieve title, date etc. from the HTML pages.

There is already lots and lots of non-GPL code in the kernel, under dozens of licenses, see https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Open-Source-Compliance/pac...

As long as everything is GPLv2-compatible it‘s okay.

IEC 61508 estimates a soft error rate of about 700 to 1200 FIT (Failure in Time, i.e. 1E-9 failures/hour).

That was in the 2000s though, and for embedded memory above 65nm.

And obviously on earth.

This is about the secondary use case, namely in packaging.

If you like to pop the bubbles the correct orientation is indeed the one you‘ve been using all along: bubbles towards your fingers.

Seek throws up a „please don‘t disturb nature“ modal at every single start that you need to click away. Usually at that point the bird has gone away, too.

The iNaturalist app doesn‘t. It has more features, but Seek‘s former advantage „let me just the a photo and auto-identify“ is now in the iNaturalist main app, as well, so it is my default now.

The name London Review of Books may mislead you. Ostensibly, the articles are book reviews, but barely. The books reviewed are more starting points into long-form articles on their subject matter. The articles are uniformly fantastic, though obviously not uniformly interesting to everyone. I find that every issue carries about three to five articles I find really interesting.

I‘ve just yesterday read an old LRB issue where in one article the book ostensibly reviewed was first mentioned after three whole pages!

I think they only acquired the trademark, not the source code. But I‘m not sure.

For example, the requirements for a CPU instruction set, in order for it to be properly virtualizable, had been known in the mainframe computing world for many, many years, when Intel and AMD came up with their unvirtualizable (except for VMware‘s heroic tricks) 32 bit instruction sets.

Those requirements and their different jargon from the mainframe world were re-discovered from the literature when virtualization in the PC world became a selling point.

My favorite quote of Habermas ist about Luhmann’s[1] theory: "It‘s all wrong, but it‘s got quality".

I‘ll save you several clicks: if you login to Tumblr (because it seems they don‘t show posts openly anymore), you‘ll get an ad for an AI company.

And there was a real cliff in recording time, not a marginal difference: a normal VHS tape could record a typical TV show, a normal Betamax tape could not. The utility function is a step function here.

(Both got more recording times through Long Play techniques a.k.a. quality degradation and through actually longer magnetic tape in the cassette, but at least in the beginning it was clear-cut).

I love Boskoop, and they are thankfully still all over German supermarkets. If not, Holstein Cox will do, and if they have it, Elstar.

The real good ones, like Berlepsch, are hard to find here, though, unless you travel to a plantation.

Because Ted Gioia is a musician, not a programmer.

The GPL itself is copyrighted and the FSF expressly forbids variants.

That was in the 2000s though, and for embedded memory above 65nm. I would expect smaller sizes to be more error-prone.

Mark Pilgrim! Now that‘s a name I haven‘t read in a long time.

That‘s the notetaking app that has several "editors", isn‘t it?

So that if you want to use feature A you need a different view inside the app than if you want to use feature B. And if you use both, you constantly switch?

Former speaker of the chancellor (and TV news anchor before that) is German ambassador to Israel. Next ambassador will be a career politician.

It‘s not uncommon, though I‘d say even the „cool posts“ like Paris or London usually go to career diplomats.

Starts interesting, then veers into the usual "true random number" bullshit. Use radioactive decay as source of your random numbers!

Kahnemann had the intellectual honesty to accept that large parts of his book are flawed, and he called on psychologists to clean up their act by doing a systematic multiple reproduction study program:
