They can’t even be punished. robots.txt is just a convention, not a regulation. It’s totally not enforceable.
The only legal framework we have is copyright law. Those who oppose this behavior will have to demonstrate copyright violation, and that may be difficult to do since the law hasn’t caught up.

orlp invented PDQSort and Glidesort. He collaborated with Voultapher on Driftsort.
Driftsort is like a successor to Glidesort.
Glidesort had some issues that prevented it from being merged into std, and which are addressed in Driftsort. IIRC it had something to do with codegen bloat.
What’s wrong with AC if it’s powered by renewable electricity?
Zsh
No plugin manager. Zsh has a builtin plugin system (autoload) and ships with most things you want (like Git integration).
My config: http://github.com/cbarrick/dotfiles
Unicode cat 😺
Exactly.
My take is that the issue isn’t with tmpfiles.d, but rather the decision to use it for creating home directories.
Someone told me that Goldeneye actually supported dual stick controls if you plugged in two controllers. And Perfect Dark is the same engine.
I need to try that out on real hardware…
113M shares times $31/share is $3.5B.
That’s wild. No way the company is worth that, much less his share.
With a headline like that, I thought he died…
Huh. This got me curious.
Yes, I did just type a bare URL. Every mature markdown parser I’ve used turns this into a link, and appropriately handles trailing punctuation.
So I went to the spec, and it’s explicitly called out that this is not an autolink. Autolinks must be explicitly surrounded with angle brackets <>.
So yeah \shrug.
https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/#autolinks
Edit to be clear: This means that both of our markdown parsers are wrong relative to the commonmark spec. But I’ll argue that if a parser is going to attempt to autolink this, then handling trailing punctuation is better than not.
I intentionally added a period because it was the end of a sentence.
If your Lemmy app messed it up, then that’s a bug in its markdown parser.
With a good style/best-practice guide, C++ can be quite productive of a language to work with.
Those kinds of guides typically define which standard/convention to use and which features not to use (cough exceptions cough).
I highly recommend Google’s C++ style guide: https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html.
The thumbnail is of the 9/11 attack with the Wine logo overlayed.
Nearly 3,000 people died in 9/11.
That image is in very poor taste. wtf.
RIP Fuchsia
Nate Silver is no longer at 538.
There are different people running the models these days.
Everyone was wrong in 2016.
538 was the least wrong of any model anywhere.
And Nate Silver was ridiculed at the time for giving Trump such a high chance of winning, before the election.
\1. Many retro games were made for CRT TVs at 480p. Updating the graphics stack modern TVs is valuable, even if nothing else is changed.
\2. All of my old consoles only have analog A/V outputs. And my TV only has one analog A/V input. The mess of adapter cables and swapping is annoying. I want the convenience of playing on a system that I already have plugged in.
\3. I don’t even still have some of the consoles that play my favorite classic games, and getting retro hardware is sometimes difficult. Especially things like N64 controllers with good joysticks.
Studios don’t need to do a full blown remake to solve these problems. But I’m also not going to say the Crash and Spyro remakes weren’t welcome. Nintendo’s Virtual Console emulators tow this line pretty well.
But studios should still put in effort to make these classic games more accessible to modern audiences, and if that means a remake, that’s fine with me.
(I’m mostly thinking about the GameCube/PS2 generation and earlier. I don’t see much value in remakes of the Wii/PS3 generation yet.)
