Seems good so far, but it's annoying that the author needlessly sniped at double-spaced sentences. He even admits that whitespace collapsing makes it a meaningless distinction, but rather than focus on the actual…
They were thinking that "scuttlebutt" means "gossip", and that the "butt" is just a water barrel. Basically, the ancient form of water cooler talk.
Not only would it be possible, it's being done in NewPipe without touching the API at all (except perhaps the device restrictions; not sure what the status is on that). I'm sure there's clauses somewhere for using the…
The most unsettling part is in Facebook's response: “We’ve heard that when accessing their information from our Download Your Information tool, some people are seeing their old videos that do not appear on their profile…
I find it amazing that Chollet even tries to argue "There’s only one company where the product is an opaque algorithmic newsfeed, that has been running large-scale mood/opinion manipulation experiments..." when Google's…
It's still not getting completely away from Google, and they could probably still track you through IP, but I've been really happy with the NewPipe client for Android; it's attempting to provide all the features of…
Some, maybe. Others live perfectly happily without being alone in their heads. I know a story or two about people for whom just talking with the voices was the way they found themselves again. Sure there are people who…
On the one hand, definitely worrisome when taking into account the alternative sites. On the other, it's in a paragraph about legal exceptions, so I'm wondering if the article's saying that Facebook and such get more…
Thanks for that, actually! You're the first to comment on the aesthetics rather than the "incorrect" usage. My thinking is that the dashes are part of the pragmatics of the primary, wrapping phrase, and don't actually…
Ah, didn't know it was still viable. Thanks!
Something about LaTeX just doesn't click for me, and you'll never in regular use have any need for pure TeX. Luckily, there's ConTeXt which (unsearchable name and comparatively small support base aside) is a very…
There's an article I keep in my bookmarks for times like this: http://www.heracliteanriver.com/?p=324 In short, wider sentence spacing goes back to the first English standards of the eighteenth century – including the…
If that were all that could do it, sure. That's not the end of it, though. I was trying out anonymization methods a while back, and created an account for use through Tor + a VPN (yes, I know it's Google). I recently…
I want to add two things that aren't directly related to the article, but which might contribute to further discussion. First, there's an anthropologist who's found that the stereotypical, combative voices are only…
Isn't that a separate issue? The article was pointing out that [5, 4, 1, 5] was sorted as [4, 1, 5, 5], which is wrong no matter if you're sorting numbers or strings. The bug was the algorithm taking one step too few…
For the sake of argument, there's a difference between someone's IP and the wrapper it comes in. I'd be more than happy to pay for an audiobook through Amazon (or just get Audible), but until a recent hardware upgrade,…
