The section "4. What editing does to the mark" talks about that. Probably best to look at that illustration again, but basically those edits would interrupt consecutive runs of detectable text, but if a run is long enough, it can still be detected with statistical significance.

So, it doesn't have to check the 'color' of the words from start to end uninterrupted, but rather can also detect color sequences in the middle of the text.

Yeah, they can't easily rotate keys, because the text can't tell you which key was used.

They could switch to a new key e.g. every month and then just check every previous key during detection. But that would slowly increase the likelihood of false positives, so no idea if that's a good idea either.

Funnily enough, Firefox basically has it, with its Tracking Protection. The vast majority of ads use tracking, so get blocked by it.

With "refine", I would guess they're talking about refining a task, so breaking it down into smaller, more concrete/actionable tasks.

Because that's usually meant in dev lingo, and because the other possible meaning of improving already-written code/docs is kind of already covered by "review".

I believe, the right term to call that, is abuse of their dominance in one market to force their way into another...

I also really wouldn't get my hopes up that it's particularly different from GTA 5. The setting is still just realism, so they can't change much in terms of gameplay or art style, not even the storytelling can go too far off the rails.

The graphics and world simulation will likely be more, uh, realistic, but you'd really need to get a lot of enjoyment out of fine details for that to make much of a difference...

If we're talking just text content with not really any interactive elements (beyond a navigation menu), then look into "static site generators".

They allow you to write your blog posts or whatever in Markdown. You can pick out a theme. And then they'll generate HTML+CSS+JS, which you can push onto a web server.

Sure, I guess, for trying out what a bidet would be like, you can do that.

For more regular usage, though, when you can't install a proper bidet, I would recommend investing the 10-20 bucks for a travel bidet. It's a lot easier/quicker, when the splash water goes straight into the toilet and you don't have to completely take off your pants+socks...

You can also get a travel bidet, if you can't permanently install one, or just want to try it out. It's basically just a squeeze bottle with a nozzle...

Ah, had not heard that before, but I'm willing to believe it right away.

That just sounds like a very Google thing to do, like how they tweaked the video algorithm, so that longer videos would get more visibility, not long before TikTok took off and they had to introduce a separate category for short-form videos.

I think, it comes from a general frustration, because the YouTube comment section is practically unusable for actually discussing a video.

Every so often, I watch something and want to see what people are saying about a particular section in the video. Like, maybe I was hoping for some info in the video and expect someone to have posted it in a comment instead.

But then I have to scroll through tons of comments like:

  • "First!" (Followed by people telling them they're not actually first.)
  • Various comments about how they're watching the video shortly after its publication. Or long after its publication.
  • "What an inspiring video! Blah blah blah..." (with a profile picture of a half-dressed lady, because it's actually just a bot)
  • A verbatim quote of a funny sentence in the video with nothing added.
  • "Just commenting for the algorithm!"

Like, I don't want to hate on people commenting what they like, but it's just frustrating in that situation, because you do have to read every comment, to make sure you're not missing something. You just become acutely aware of every repeated joke and every single comment you had to read, which did not actually say something.

Could imagine that working at the scale where PeerTube is currently at, where you can actually get to know folks and it's not just about broadcasting to as many people as possible...
