Nice! While being able to organize header declarations in submodules was very useful, deduplication like this is a godsend.

GoAccess is great and all, but static log analyzation =/= Google Analytics. You can only get so much data via log analysis, and if you have a SPA, or even just alot of client side stuff, static log analyzation just cannot provide you with the same type of data you get from client side.

If you really want to replace Google Analytics and have the same level of features and tracking you need a client side system - Matomo is the closest I've seen to that.

All that being said, I've used GoAccess, I like it, but I haven't quite mastered the log format to enable my more robust AWStats logs with GoAccess. I have a bunch of subdomains all as VHosts, and I loved the feature in GoAccess that rolls it all up into a VHost table/chart. However I haven't figured out the log parser settings to get both AWstats and GoAccess to like it with the %v_host field in the logs. Any thoughts/help there?

Who thought Exif Orientation was a good idea? It's a needless complication of the file format. It's not like iPhones (or any camera) lacks the computing power to rotate the image before saving it.

Isn't this dangerous if you ever loose your computer?

If you can, find the documentary BBC Horizon, Inside Chernobyl's Sarcophagus. I first saw this in the 90s as a kid and I was blown away. Absolutely crazy situation at the time. Hats off to the Liquidators and the scientists who tried to mitigate this mess. Many died and have been forgotten since.

I have been reading a lot of Peirce lately. His range of knowledge and method of thought is truly breathtaking. He was obsessed with taxonomy, and it is almost poetic how he organizes and reorganizes the bodies of scientific knowledge according to his thought. He was like Adam naming all the animals in the garden of Eden. Truly the most under appreciated philosopher of our time.

Just alt-text. Granted it is a slight insight though, as I assume it's added automatically, but I expect they pull a lot more info from people's images than just what the alt-text shows.

This one scares me. No one seems to be doing anything about it, and the results could be massive.

Pendulum is slowly turning back to "Everything's an Object". Time to decorate Jabba sections in that CV and remember to drop in an obvious reference to GoF/Fowler/UncleBob writeups.

It's a truly fascinating piece, but wow, I didn't expect going in that I'd come out not liking him. On the other hand, I didn't really know anything about Liu Cixin or his work before now, so maybe this is all well-trodden ground for everyone else.

A DOJ requirement to divest assets is one extreme, while a requirement to spinoff assets and have them operate autonomously could unlock even greater value for a parent company. What’s App, Instagram, You Tube, etc., trading as separate stocks could spread market share and in theory create more competition, while not diluting, and possibly increasing, overall corp value. A not likely scenario, but perhaps a possible one.

Advertisers, and others, could be paying higher prices due to market dominance, while users of so-called free services could be experiencing lower quality offerings with reduced innovation and variety, as well as excessive data appropriation. These effects, and others, would constitute reduced consumer welfare.

This would have been great if the automakers got into this seriously about 20 to 10 years ago. Now whether or not they do this, they have to make serious effort to get to BEVs

Back then I used lynx on the text terminals at university and shortly after upgraded my PC at home (running Linux) from 4 MB to 8 MB of RAM (which did cost about an arm and a leg) so that I could run Mosaic with its statically linked Motif libs on it... When I think back the thing that amazes me most is the fact that I ran a Unix system along with X11 and a Motif application in all of 8 MB of RAM.

I still use lynx now and then even today. Haven't seen any Motif app for a long while, though.
