To anyone with #psychology and #sociology chops:
Do you remember a #study (reported in popular science press within the last 10 years) about #partisanship that tried to #measure the base level of commonality that would always transcend #partisan divides...and found that there was none?
#AI couldn't help, thankfully or no. I thought I read about it in @arstechnica but no luck searching there.
Any pointers appreciated.
Every command line tool that pretty-prints progress bars and live status reports and all that stuff as it goes along in ways that constantly print characters and require a cursor-addressable display (or ANSI code support or etc) should have a way of turning all that off and printing things a line at a time with no fancy progress bars.
This rant is brought to you by dnf5, but it's not the only offender. At least 'apt' isn't the only way, you can use 'apt-get' and so on.
Mozilla CEO made around 7 million USD last year, but hosting bills are pending. Now, they updated the ToS, and you can't watch p0rn, or your data will be sold, or they no longer care about the orignal mission, etc. Once again, we see C-suits lose their grip on reality. As long as they are getting paid in millions, software projects can go to /dev/null. It is like they want to ruin the project on purpose. There is no other explanation I can think of. Can you?
If you work in government and are asked to remove content from websites (as a result of executive orders), please use the HTTP status code 451 instead of 404.
451 is the correct status code to use for these cases, and you'll be doing the rest of the country a service by using it.
Addendum: you should also include a Link header with the link relation "blocked-by" that "Identifies the entity that blocks access to a resource following receipt of a legal demand."
