A relevant bit of self-promotion maybe:

I created a small language server for systemd unit files which may help those having to integrate services with it.

Anyone who has had to sift through large BNFs such as [0, 1] to find that the syntax error was a syntactically significant "TO" knows that this is the case. Natural language has synonyms, computer languages really should avoid synonyms and also any spurious syntactic sugar.

Never was it more appropriate to say "Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past." By engaging in systemic historical revisionism, Google means to create a future where certain peoples don't exist.

> Major private media corporations in poland were already closely aligned with PiS [...]

This statement is an outright lie. For example, Gazeta Wyborcza, all of Agora Media, and TVN have always been anti-PiS.

>[...] and independent media was shut down.

Can you elaborate on this?

> As a result, for several years all media in poland was pro-government.

Completely untrue.

Technoparasitism. In my opinion, the very premise of AI girlfriends veers so far away from human flourishing that privacy concerns seem entirely secondary.

This is a remarkable inversion. The primary reason people forego children in the west is because it throws a wrench in their comfortable lifestyle. They prefer to live unto themselves, instead of unto children, i.e. selfishly.

I believe the environmental/climactic concerns raised by antinatalists are just a feeble deflection. They are primarily interested in personal comfort.

If you are asking for examples of brutal acts performed or ordered by Muhammed, here is a long list [0]. Most notable to me is the murder of 600-900 captive non-combatants. This is referred to as the massacre of the Banu Qurayza (woman and children then made slaves).

I suppose you brought up Muhammed on the basis that his venerated status in Islam enables us to significantly extrapolate Muslim culture from his own personal culture. I will therefore state that the evidence of Quran/Hadiths yield evidence of great brutality in the person of Muhammed, which therefore may inspire brutality and violence in any devout followers of his, or in the broader Islamic culture. This is certainly conducive "creating criminal gangs".

The accounts in primitve terms obscure it's true meaning.

It's just a analytic function on the moduli space of elliptic curves.

The collection of equivalence classes of elliptic curve (torii of the form C/lattice) has the structure of a complex space (it's not a complex manifold, but rather a complex moduli stack). Modular forms are just analytic functions on it. That's all.

This dumb article doesn't help matter by presenting a brazen lie in the headline. Fifth fundamental operation, my butthurt ass.

Is there any intention of eventually supporting DML or DDL statements? That's when the COBOL-like nature of SQL syntax is most frustrating. For example, in order to run "ALTER COLUMN ..." I have to parse a ridiculous BNF like this[0] almost every time. I'll never remember it.

Usually, the error is a gotcha built into the language syntax (e.g. forgot the keyword "TO").

Idiotic clickbait headline seeks to insinuate that there was something dishonest about her racing, when in reality her participation broke a false belief (a "lie") that women were physically unable to complete marathons.

The website can further strengthen the illusion of interacting with the FS by using HTML+CSS that imitates the browser's builtin file browser. It knows what it might look like by examining User-Agent and Accept-Language headers.

A phishing strategy this enables: confusing the https:// URI scheme with the file:// pseudo-URI scheme.

For example, we receive a phishing email which reads "This is the bank with your financial statement attached. It's a password protected zip file encrypted with your online banking credentials for security." We click to download and end up at https://financialstatement.zip, where a JS prompt asks us for the decryption password. We think we're interacting with the file system and get owned.

Crucially, i) some browsers don't display the URI scheme in the address bar, and ii) people are used to the idea of a password-protected zip file, and iii) people are used to opening files with their browser.

> Don't buy domain names

Can anyone explain this? Assuming your data isn't in the WHOIS record, why does this increase your exposure more than any other company knowing your name?

A search shows up options for anonymous domain name services.
