what are you talking about? it's been MIT licensed for years
I don't even know what you mean about "pushing other editors out of the way". last I checked, I can still use vim, notepad++, intellij, ...

it took me way too long to pick up on the "joke" of OSCAR
This rock almost looked surprised that I was coming back! Thankfully, I was able to collect another sample here to replace the one I discarded earlier. This may be one of the oldest rocks I sample, so it could help us understand the history of this place. #SamplingMars
@pounce why? apparently it works pretty well for a lot of people, especially for js and typescript
I'm trying out #antennapod. so far, it's pretty clunky for my typical usage pattern: paste in an RSS feed URL and play episodes from a point I choose in chronological order. I can at least get there though, which is more than I can say for #VLC.
Use the *median*, not the average, to aggregate individual preferences in one-dimensional domains ⚖️
E.g. "what temperature should we heat the room to?" 🥶🌡️🥵 "how much money should we budget for the project?" 📈 💰 📉
-> incentive for everyone to answer truthfully
-> extreme responses don't skew result (manipulation resistance)
-> theoretically and intuitively evident that most-prefered option ('Condorcet winner') selected
@trinsec 😛that's not what it means and you know it 😆

very cool interview. I think that quote, "Nothing is more important than what you are doing right now," will stay with me. I don't have an ops and planning team behind everything I do, but I often find myself working on subordinate, sometimes fairly boring, tasks in service to a larger goal. keeping the attitude suggested by that quote really helps to bolster my spirits for such things
@mathew well, I commented as a software engineer and user of interactive Internet services: it was fun!
#copyright claims on config files are so stupid and probably not even enforceable but we add them anyway and i hate it

The US copyright office is consulting the public to see if we have any objections to mandatory automatic copyright filters. It would be a good idea to let them know.

@mathew if you're going to comment, please make sure you read the public notice as it has a list of topics of which your comment is expected to explicitly state which one it addresses for it to be entered into the public record. it's possible that by default they enter it under 8, " Please identify any other pertinent issues not referenced above that the Copyright Office should consider in these consultations." but maybe make it easier on the poor public servant(s) who will be categorizing your comments.

I had forgotten about this youtube channel for a while, but it's pretty great:

as a sometime ML student, I have a casual interest in practical data munging techniques. AI Coffee Break is great for getting me a basic understanding of fairly complicated concepts and tools without a lot of upfront work learning lower-level stuff. For the most part, I understand the concepts at the level they're discussed using not much more than my undergrad-level knowledge.
