  • The insurrection.

    • [Meta] There seems to be a downvoting bot around here. Every thread and every single comment has at least one downvote. Is there any way to fix this?

    Jump

  • Upon further research, I've realized that the upvote/downvote logs are only available to instance admins. Also, other users have said blocking a user does not disable them from downvoting your posts, so my idea wouldn't work anyway. Sorry :(

    • Something to ruffle some penguin feathers: The Unix Hater's Handbook

    Jump

  • [W]ould anyone have spent this much time and effort writing about how much they hated Unix if they didn’t secretly love it? I’ll leave that to the readers to judge, but in the end, it really doesn’t matter: If this book doesn’t kill Unix, nothing will.

  • It wouldn't be pulling up the ladder behind them if we force them to step down that ladder and burn it by retraining their models from scratch "with databases that don't infringe on intellectual property rights".

  • That's interesting! Imagine being the developer who threw that edge check in there on the off chance that this would happen.

  • Sorry, I don't know why I said that. Corrected.
