And at this point it’s also code for ‘machine learning’.

Which really is just fancy statistics. Sometimes it’s barely more advanced than plain regression.

I’m surprised you got tired of the stupid decisions if I’m honest.

I wasn’t aware the characters were making any.

I’m not too sure being non-religious from the start would lead to better education. Seems to me that religion was quite a big driver behind early education. You’ll also have some trouble separating history religion and science at that point, people told each other stories about things that happened or how they thought things worked. Some of those stories are rather more fantastical than they needed to be, but how would you tell if there’s nothing to kickstart intellectual discourse in the first place?

And the whole religion stops crime through fear idea seems overly simplistic. It’s the same reasoning that bigger sentences would lower crime, and so far that hasn’t worked terribly well.

Americans assuming ‘America’ means ‘U.S.’

Also a reminder that accepting an alternative tracking method is likely to just end up with 2 different ways to track you rather than one slightly less invasive one.

Wait so the production release would consist of uploading the files with Filezilla?

If you can SSH into the server, why on earth use Filezilla?

Maybe some idiot shot straight up into the air?

I must have missed that one, what’s going on with Filezilla?

At some point even the pope disagreed. Or well, one of them did. It was complicated.

It’ll be a rather unpleasant death I might add. Plan accordingly.

If anything it was the lack of anything happening that made me switch over.

Why did the United States enter the Vietnam War?

Not the easiest kind of question to answer with multiple choice…

Movies. You used to be able to just buy them and own the data.

Now you have to pray the other party doesn’t ‘alter the deal’ and if you are proactive about safekeeping the stuff you own you’re a ‘thief’.

Depends, who’s choosing the experiment?

Keep in mind that for the way UK elects MPs something like Alternative Vote (or even approval voting, which I prefer) would only help with the problem that only 2 parties have any chance of winning in each particular constituency.

It doesn’t get around the issue that ‘% of constituencies where party X wins the election’ and ‘% of votes cast for party X’ are in no way the same thing.

If UK politicians had any sense they’d fix the voting system that let that happen.

Obviously they won’t because that same system put them in power and is currently holding far-right at bay, but it would be nice.

I am, no worries.

Dissent is not creativity.

Using reverse proxies is common enough now that quite a few apps can deal with subpaths, and for the ones that can’t you can generally get nginx to rewrite the paths for you to make things work.

What genius decided to denote the difference by using three shades of the exact same colour?
