I'm an Ubuntu user at work and a Windows (desktop)/Arch (server) user at home. Wikipedia says that Mint is based on Ubuntu, but it doesn't really explain why I would use it over Ubuntu itself. What does Mint add?

NPR is not "publicly funded programming" in any meaningful sense. The vast majority of their funding is listener donations.

If you want to credibly make that claim, you're going to need a much better source than the Daily Mail.

Yeah, but at least they aren't all white. Where I live now is also mostly non-religious liberal Democrats, but they all think ranch dressing is spicy.

I read both founders Wikipedia articles this morning. As far as I can tell, they bother interned at BO, and one had a job at SpaceX for a few years. I definitely wouldn't say they "came from" BO. They seem to have (successf

I have never worked as a barista, but I have worked as a line cook. It's not hard to cook one thing. It takes some time and practice to cook many things at once at a speed that keeps up with a good lunch rush. You can also easily compo

I'm curious where you live that you find more diversity? I also moved out of the bay in 2020, have lived a few places since and the diversity of the bay area is pretty much the only thing I miss.

I mean, they estimate $10k for installation, so you are calling an HVAC company and having them install a heat pump system. It's not clear to me from the website if the idea is that they are actually integrating installation in-house

Maybe I don't understand what "contribute code" means... Do I only "contribute code" if I open a PR on a repo I don't own? Seems like a good option to allow people to enable, but forcing it is an unnecessary ov

Absolutely insane. Why does Github even care whether I use 2FA?

In what way? Morally and ethically, I think you're going to get a resounding yes from people here. Legally, I very much doubt it, but I am not a lawyer.

If he started working at 15, doesn't that put him at 45 years in the workforce and 30 years retired? He has to make it to 105 to meet your original claim.

IIRC sprinkler systems are just code now for all residential construction. Even new build single family homes must have them.

The first link on that page 404s. Anyone know the correct link to the parser code?

Why is it such a great language? As a developer entirely divorced from the gaming industry aside from occasionally dabbling in modding, lua has always seemed completely inscrutable to me when I have encountered it.

Has the financial situation of Signal changed recently? I've noticed in the last few weeks that it often nags me to donate when I open the app now.

That's just supply and demand. Either there is demand for rentals, or these companies and individuals are losing their shirts and the houses will be back on the market eventually.

I can't read the article without turning off my ad blocker, but based on other comments in this thread, Virginia doesn't actually seem to be suffering because they didn't offer anything beyond standard development incentives

Only 20% of drivers live in an apartment? That's quite surprising to me.

Yes, to the point that I am confused by the question. Could you explain why you (presumably) don't?

Vons is generally one if the higher end grocery stores. It's not all that surprising to me that Walmart would have eggs at half the price. I don't live in SoCal, so I can't say whether it's accurate, but the number of pe

Sadly that's categorically to allowed. I don't even have admin permissions on the repo, and I'm not allowed to give any permissions whatsoever to anyone outside of NASA.

For what it's worth, we developers (I'm a NASA contractor who maintains a small NASA open source project) feel the same way! Our lawyers not so much. It's a very slow process to change the default, but at least a couple of pr

I'm the sole maintainer of a very small open source project at NASA. Despite the small codebase, I think I am still in the top ten most starred repos on github.com/nasa. By far the biggest problem is that we don't get any tim

It really isn't though. Yes, the GA fleet is extremely old, but the inflation-adjusted cost of a PPL is pretty much exactly what it was in the 1960s.

Yeah, I have a house in a heavily forested area. I put the starlink dish on top of a 12ft pole mounted on my roof. I have a double of line of sight issues, but it's good enough that I don't notice service interruptions.

>Autism is an extremely broad classification: honestly, probably too broad Hard agree with this. As someone who was diagnosed with Asperger's back when that was still a thing, it was a lot easier for me to say "I have mild Aspe

Okay, that I'm less sure on the car insurance, but again theft of belongings from your home is absolutely something that can be covered by home owner's or renter's insurance.
