The parent wasn't arguing he should come back but saying that "defected" is not the correct word. The correct phrase is probably "took asylum."
Ah yes, because they blocked porn sites in the safari browser and default hosts files, right? Or maybe they don't have control of those?

As someone that's been looking into it, it's not just for the Gaggia. It's also for some Silvia models and they have a small list of others that people have gotten it to work for. The list is, unfortunately, on discord and the discord server has some really petty rules and a lot of superiority complexes.

A lot of the foundational papers in NLP were written like this too. Clear and concise without grandiose overstatements. Dana Angluin comes to mind.
Re:Simply Parse in C on Wednesday July 19, 2023 @12:34PM (#36789176)
I don't know if I agree with the premise:

> People are terrified of parsers and parsing

But this implementation of a reduced feature set version of .ini file parsing does not convince me that I should write my own parser instead of using one that implements a more full feature set

> No newlines in keys, values, or section names. Empty values are not allowed. Comments only on their own lines (minus whitespace). Whitespace-insensitive (whitespace at the start of line, end of line, around the “=”, is all ignored). No need for a terminating newline either.

I think it's reasonable that people want to use a parser that has better error handling and gives an idea of where the ini file may have parsing problems than just a barebones implementation such as this provides.

I also think that using a library for parsing instead of writing your own parser does not imply that you are scared of parsing.

Because if they don't have their own vehicle then prices will rise for using uber/lyft/taxis.
I didn't downvote you; I think you make a reasonable, albeit exaggerated, point. I think it's also important to look through the lens that a lot of things linux supports are reverse engineered and that's why they take a long time to implement. This is de facto different with everything being open so I expect support will come faster. There's also the fact that this aligns better with the ideologies of a lot of free software enthusiasts so they may be more likely to work on it.

Yeah, an open source architecture sounds like it could be a game changer for the SBC market
Is RISC-V any more efficient than arm?
That's a tiring argument that's reiterated every time teacher pay is involved. Most teachers also don't get the luxury of working 9-5, they have to do additional planning and grading outside of hours. Also, if you want to compare with the private sector, there are teachers in the private sector who make more.
If I were to try to do this without symlinks, maybe I'd try mount

Definitely. Quirks like this are also what makes AI difficult.
Re:Ask HN: Is anyone else getting AI fatigue? on Thursday February 09, 2023 @08:40AM (#34723697)
The people I know that like it use artificial and the people that won't try it use fake.

Have you been around people who say "fake meat?" Every time I've heard it, it was said derisively and implied fraudulent meat.

Re:O Holy Crap on Thursday December 22, 2022 @09:51AM (#34093811)
They also complained about pyrex not being durable because they dropped it. My pyrex has lasted 2 decades of use and I think it's an example of a durable product.
Re:O Holy Crap on Thursday December 22, 2022 @09:08AM (#34093359)
I had the same gear fail. It's called a worm gear and is, indeed, intended to fail before damaging the other gears. They're much cheaper if you buy a non-oem part. I bought one from amazon for ~10 USD.

I currently use no-ip free tier for this. My only complaint with no-ip free is that I have to login and verify that I am still using it after a while. Does Duck DNS do this too?

I work from home and have very limited desk space. Great idea though.
I feel this in my soul. My work uses Mac and I'm not used to it. Fn and cmd keys block my reach for alt and control in my vim sessions and make it awkward to go through tabs in the browser with the keyboard.
Honestly, if they have those elements on a page, usually the content is not worthwhile enough for me to suffer through their design. I usually just leave the page.

Re:When to use Bazel? on Wednesday September 14, 2022 @08:53AM (#32836465)
It was definitely not the only thing that was required to build, but that may be as much Apple's fault as bazel's.
Re:When to use Bazel? on Tuesday September 13, 2022 @04:58PM (#32830098)
I used a M1 Mac to try to build tensorflow and tensorflow-text and it is very untrue that everything is guaranteed to build on other machines with no additional setup.

The parenthesized comment is funnier to me because I had to download a specific bazel version to build.
