Filligree

It’s no different from living in a beautiful natural landscape. I can tell you from experience that no, you get used to it.

It would not be a lot. It would fade into the background, except that any time you want to see beauty you just have to look up and focus.

Yes? Amateur means someone who does a thing for recreation, as opposed to for money.

IKEA has a variety of furniture, ranging from fiberboard trash (which isn’t trash if used correctly) to solid hardwood with thick steel legs.

You get what you pay for. With Ikea, it’s at least obvious up front what quality band it’s in.

Did older grains have more gluten? I might try to search them out just for that reason.

I’ve set up something like that with Opus. Works well enough, and points out CVEs to fix on the regular.

Running NixOS helps.

It's more than zero, but 15 seconds would be a great deal more realistic for an incremental build.

Google tells me the whistleblower in that case was jailed for massive embezzlement, not for whistleblowing. Do you have reason to think this is false?

Old buildings were beautiful because the cost of hiring someone to build it, and the price of their lives when they fell off the facade, was lower than the value of the beauty.

Modern buildings draw the line somewhere else. I too wish there would be more beautiful buildings, but not at the old price.

> It's also a terrible practice that I hope the Justice department and the CFTC will put an end to soon.

How is hiring people "terrible practice"?

I’m already edging in the article’s direction on my desktop. I recognised a lot of this, and it makes a great deal of sense.

The only question is if it’ll still make sense in six months, or if an even more unreasonable approach will be the correct one. Feels like a singularity.

The programmer adjusted the way it works to make it slightly less OP. Just so we could all be sure the bug was now a feature.

I wish I could be sure this was a joke.

The purpose of a prompt like that is to have it rephrase it in its own words, so you can spot any misunderstandings and correct them.

If you're of the belief that this is a contradiction in terms, then what can I say? It works.

But that wouldn't have put him in prison for life.

Usually it means the opposite. Books that are old and valuable tend to be out of copyright, so they do see new printing runs.

They are. They can’t release it; that would be copyright infringement. But they’re absolutely planning to make further use of the book later.

Obviously. Copyright infringement is settled law.

B is illegal, and Anthropic ate a billion dollar fine for trying it, so you can’t even claim they don’t want to.

Because that’s illegal.

I use urllib.request. It works fine, it’s always available, and I don’t need to push it through an audit.

They definitely are successors to some of those. Two Point Hospital for one.

It never quite recaptured the charm of the original, but that might just be because I’m older.

I am not, but would be interested to hear. Any articles?

The authors of the alternative books, which you might have bought instead if your weren’t reading old books like a high seas pirate.

That keeping the physical copy intact would mean creating a copy, and they don’t have the copy right.

That is an element, but given the PR cost I’m sure they would use non-destructive scanning if they could.

No, the core problem is that keeping a scan is legal if and only if you destroy the physical copy.

For watermarked long-form text, it is actually possible. Makes the watermark more fragile, but the math is considerably more forgiving than usual.

The word means what it does. I’m not changing my use of language just because some people misunderstand the dictionary definition.

Isn’t it MIT-licensed?

That’s not theft. The author explicitly told people he wants them to do this; the company is just taking him up on the offer.

> The strange part is that nearly all the decently large publishers seem to be completely unable to predict when a game will be successful, because they seem unable to determine when a game is actually fun to play. So they will dump hundreds of millions into a game that nobody wants to play, get close to zero sales, and end up shutting down the game, laying off the studio, and having to find another way to make back the $100m+ they just burned.

I know a guy who works with one of those publishers.

According to him, almost nobody at the publisher actually games. The ones who do, limit themselves to gacha games or Bejeweled-tier games. Gaming, at least at that one, is considered childish.

Haven’t ever seen a warning like that in KDE.
