- willdrNot every topic will be covered yet. While *The deadline is now* is an essay, *WP:NOTNEWS* is policy — and inherent in an encyclopedia.
- Recent Wikipedia articles are kind of an oxymoron; Wikipedia by design is meant to be a tertiary source, downstream of both news media but also mainstream scholarship. The problem is that it's "an encyclopaedia anyone can edit" — and that inherently means a rush to create or update articles when news outlets publish something novel.
While news media is an acceptable source, proper peer-reviewed journals and other scientific publications are preferred. People would do well to remember Wikipedia is NOTNEWS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_no...).
- Unfortunately to survive the next few hundred years, we may need another dictator of human behaviour than what the market wants.
- Rewritten *into* Flutter? People should be rewriting away from Flutter.
- That's a useful strawman for this issue, but you know as well as I do that none of those bogeymans were anywhere near as transformative as the smartphone. They were not networked, they were static, and they had limits (eg. TVs limited programming). They are incomparable to a never-ending firehose of stimulus, algorithmically engineered to be appealing to your personality and optimised for "engagement" (read: more screen time).
- Does this argument then reinforce the value of government news orgs like we see in Australia (ABC) & England (BBC) - if England's was to exist without the draconian tv licence? Edited: I didnt mean impartial but rather non-commercial, updated.
- can you elaborate?
- Wow. This sort of obstructionism is what convinces people Open Source is not worth the time and effort. Really disappointing. As someone else said in that issue, "perfect is the enemy of good". Thousands of KMs of road are currently not VISIBLE on the map due to stonewalling.
- As someone who has been in a fair few discord chats with soldiers, I'd beg to differ...
- For $150 I want a native app
- If you sincerely believe this, you've tinkered enough that the massive knowledge barrier that is Linux seems like nothing to you.
I would never sit my 70 year old mother down in front of a Linux machine. We're not at "caring that video files download too slowly" - we're at "how do I put a file on a USB".
- How does it affect Boeing? I suppose in terms of service contracts and the like, but haven't the airlines bought the planes already?
- Why does this seem ridiculous? There are more national companies than international companies, by a large factor.
- I'd probably reach for playwright to do something like this. The form seems structured enough that you could easily hack something together.
- This seems like a cop-out by one of the largest companies in the world to avoid giving back to the tools and languages they use to extract their profit. If you're worried about funds mismanagement, assign some oversight, add a distribution schedule (5m over 5 years) and so on.
- Open it at 8am, close it at 8pm
- A proper AST would "read" the source code programmatically, as opposed to brittle regex? Is there any benefit to building that when your regex works and what you're parsing is static? (Genuine questions, my compsci background is not strong).
- Is the build quality and backlighting as good as the Kindle? And do they have a seamless option (no notched screen)?
- Maybe so, but Wikipedia itself is fraying at the seams these days. Less and less Administrators every year, less and less committed editors, and more and more tech rot. See this comment https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=38550441 for more context.
