Yes, that is interesting. It sounds like he was aware of the theoretical possibility of a book being regurgitated verbatim. Do you know if he was aware it had been done? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49000742
If he was not aware, I wonder if he still would have described the process as "exceedingly transformative" had he been aware.
Accept-Language headers aren't used in a particularly good way by browsers and servers. If used better, they would be a particularly good solution.
The idea you mentioned of browsers allowing the header to be set on a per-site basis would be particularly good.
Another very good solution would be for servers to assign weight to the languages they support, and to combine their weights with the Accept-Language weights to choose the best language in common.
But even as they're implemented and used now, Accept-Language headers are already a way better approach than geo-ip.
My hunch is that Accept-Language became the best way to determine a user's language about the time it became common to bring a laptop while traveling. People use arguments today against Accept-Language that have been wrong for decades.
I once insisted with an optometrist that they only take my insurance number and not my SSN. They contacted my insurance and the insurance sent them my SSN.
I can't avoid medical insurance having my SSN because of tax reporting requirements.
That's distinguishing the String class from primitive string. I don't think that would still work with another `extends String` the same shape as Hash.
In fact, the lawsuits claim that RealPage shares "peer lists" with clients that tell them exactly who else is providing data to the company within a specific distance of their property.
This sounds like reassurance to a landlord that peers will mimic the same price moves. If true, I would call that price fixing.
>It is also bizarre that someone could take BSD code, make trivial modifications, and now such cannot be sent upstream or used under the original license.
No it is not bizarre. That is precisely how the BSD license is intended to work. If you want to ensure that changes fall under the original license, then you want GPL.
Isn't accessibility for a web-based MUD just a matter of adding `aria-live="polite"` as an attribute to the incoming text? Five years ago I did this on https://evolvingstory.juliablewis.com/ and it seemed to work with OSX screen reading.
This article would have worked a lot better without the second paragraph. The writer's simple pleasure of typing "go run ..." should not be predicated on believing that deno doesn't exist.
