I bet you love your locked down iPhone too

Can’t believe you get downvoted for saying that. No worries though as the haters will all be proven wrong eventually.

You should all see the story about the invention blue LEDs. No one believed that it could work except some japanese guy (Shuji Nakamura) who kept working on it despite his company telling him to stop. No one believed it could ever be solved despite being so close. He solved it and the rewards were astronomical.

And who’s gonna stop us?

Universities often teach students to write a lot of comments, because you are required to learn and demonstrate your ability to translate between code and natural language. But this is one of the things that are different in professional environments.

Every comment is a line to maintain in addition to the code it describes. And comments like this provide very little (if any) extra information that is not already available from reading the code. It is not uncommon for someone to alter the code that the comment is supposed to describe without changing the comment, resulting in comments that lie about what the code does, forcing you to read the code anyway.

It’s like if you were bilingual, you don’t write every sentence in both languages, because that is twice as much text to maintain (and read).

The exception of course, being if you are actually adding information that is not available in the code itself, such as why you did something a particular way.

XMPP servers and clients have different standards. Some supports audio/video calls

And the same is true about Matrix lol

It also has the additional property of being able to easily transfer that asserted value anywhere in the world, free of censorship.

It’s not just “assumed”. There have been numerous studies that people with better social networks and resources around them are much more likely to succeed. It’s not surprising at all

Governments guarantee that their currency is worth something in various ways. Bitcoin is backed by the energy usage it costs to mine

Make sure you understand volume block size before you start using it. It has a big impact on compression, performance and even disk utilization. In certain configurations you may be surprised to find out as much as 25% of your disk space (in addition to parity) is effectively gone and it is untrivial to change the block size after the fact.

Great, so now we have even more fragmentation. Good job BlueSky!

Don’t see what is annoying about this dialog.

We aren’t allowing it.

No doubt that AI which is used for Level 5 autonomy should be trained to detect these situations and make the correct decision. Otherwise they wouldn’t be Level 5 systems. This is one of the many reasons why self-driving cars is not a solved issue yet. The systems we use today are either used strictly as a driving aid under close supervision by a human driver or used in small areas that the AI has been already evaluated to perform well in.

The issue presented in the thumbnail is just as applicable to human drivers. Bad roadmarkings confuse unfamiliar drivers regularly.

The thing about public domain is that anyone can do whatever they want. Youtube is still providing a service by providing storage, cpu and network to be able to stream the video and they are within their rights to charge for that service one way or another. Of course anyone can also offer that same service for free as it’s public domain.

Might not be the best place to say this, but considering Plex relies on online authentication servers to function it might be better for you to look into Jellyfin which works fully offline.

Trilium for the same reasons, but the featureset of Trilium is more like Obsidian.

There should be a vote to contest button next to the duplicate question notice/link.

In my experience, I have found the least intelligent people to also be the most vocal, which makes it look like they are overrepresented in the population.
