A rope or two, tied off in just the right places, could eliminate most of the danger by controlling where the tree is able to fall.

WTF is this thing? That's just about what I think with every teenage engineering product. Some of their others have been something I'd actually buy were the price affordable, this one on the other hand is just a big WTF. I had

In 2010 or 2011, deviantArt was running on several hundred slackware servers. One of my projects at that job was converting everything to run on Debian with config management in Puppet to replace all of the old manually configured services.

When I was still in college studying Computer Science (~2001) I got a part time job at a Medical Claims clearing house doing VB and Java programming. My task was to re-write in Java the ancient and archaic system which would read in medic

Yeah, given the numbers it doesn't make sense for Yelp to kill it. It's not like a few hundred api calls are costing yelp any significant amount of money.

This looks really interesting and well thought out. Nonetheless, I feel like the OS window manager should provide this kind of experience, with appropriate hooks so that an IDE can implement this sort of experience with native windows. I re

I lost a few AMD Athlon CPUs back in the day. They were not reliable long-term (I think they died after ~6 years, or something like that).

One of the best product feedback comments I've seen on here and I've been lurking for a long time. Nice.

That sounds about right for the UK, doesn't seem surprising at all to me. I also wouldn't be surprised to see similar laws enacted in the US if they aren't already and I just haven't heard of them yet.

It was either this or take Bill Hick's advice?

Very convincing indeed. IMO it's almost as good as (if not better than) head mounted VR goggles. At least it doesn't cause motion sickness. The person who came up with that idea, Johnny Lee¹, went on to work on the xbox and I bel

Perhaps but it would require a huge amount of refactoring and reorganizing literally thousands of git repositories. MediaWiki is host to a vast number of extensions which are variously developed by teams within the Wikimedia Foundation as

Some background that I am familiar with because I worked on the team that maintains Wikimedia's Gerrit, GitLab, Phabricator, CI and deployment systems. I left in 2022, however, by then the GitLab migration was well underway. As far as

We can write code that writes code. Hell even current LLM tech can write code. It's at least conceivable that a artificial neural network could be self-modifying, if it hasn't been done already.

Great idea and well thought out execution. I suspect this will be a successful business for a long time to come.

I don't think the president should be above the law. I think most presidents have committed crimes and I'd like to see them face more scrutiny not less.

One more baby step towards total lockdown. For me 2013 was the year of the Linux desktop and I haven't looked back.

In the united states, the people get to influence things through their representatives in congress, not through unlimited executive power. I don't believe that congress is doing a good job representing the people but I don't think

I don’t have direct references but I know someone who was prosecuted for bootlegging. I live in the state with the lowest cigarette tax (Missouri). People will routinely cross the state line from Arkansas to buy both cigarettes (lower tax)

I think this activity would be completely Illegal in the USA. Crossing state lines with more than a couple of packs of smokes can land you in prison for a long time.

That's a good point, though you could use some firewall rules to rewrite the port number so that the local daemon is listening on the normal port but accessible via an alternate high numbered port.

That's a feature, not a bug. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.
