If I may append: - Dad’s prior sense of humor may have included puns and groan jokes, but they were intermingled with a plethora of sailor-blushing cursing, gallows humor, and innuendo that’s not a great idea to sling around in front of a t

Article doesn't get into this level of detail, but I'd be interested in how they define "renewable". Does it include hydropower, which is renewable but has strong non-carbon-related undesirable environmental consequences

It is, and Colorado has previous legislation (from ~4y ago?) _permitting_ individual counties to allow the Idaho Stop; as I recall they call it such by name there. Hard to pull in search, since everything's swamped with this new, more

Define "program"! I suspect you mean "a persistent thing saved to disk that gets re-used", but a bash one-liner is its own program in a sense.

If you're resourced enough to have access, this is great advice. It's like doing regular maintenance: you might be able to do it yourself, but bringing in a professional is a good idea.

It's never about the dish, or the coffee mug, or whatever. It's all about what raw spots that dish rubs up against, probably from long before your marriage began. If you or someone you love is finding themselves disproportionally

You’d have to rewrite the commit history for each of those repos and force push those changes. https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo would be a decent starting point.

This is incredibly judgmental, especially in a society that doesn’t enable people to “live for” their children. Kids are easy to love; the logistics of parenting are super challenging. Kudos to anyone who goes down this path and keeps findi

That’s 30m of not helping with a one-year-old. That time is _precious_.

I feel that, but remain indecisive if the best way to enjoy tech. Is it to just find the closest approximation of a fit in a job at a reasonable wage, or to crank compensation to generate better options? As I get older, the latter seems mor

I mean, that’s not wrong, but TFA involves getting an offer with a total comp we can safely assume is over 500k/annum. Do that and don’t increase you expenses and you end up in a good place fast.

And here I thought that stuff just _existed_ and we warned against its consumption because it was bad for you _incidentally_. Hadn't realized that was all deliberate. Yikes.

In both senses of the word "explode", I expect. (Tongue-in-cheek, but I'd actually like to see this happen: Nix is a fantastic concept obscured by space-alien syntax.)

Many users of this site aren’t especially price-sensitive; if you’re one of them and in the habit of using tax filing software, I urge you to consider hiring an accountant for your taxes. You’ll pay a couple hundred bucks, which may be offs

Good. Fuck them and their predatory business model. I know this is where we’re supposed to decry the system of which this is symptomatic, and talk about campaign finance and such. And all that stuff is true, sure. But Intuit has been such a

I fully agree that the antivirus market is a cesspool, and long has been so. The upside is that Microsoft’s first-party solution is decent and ships with the OS, so you can sidestep the entire project of figuring out which third-party AVs s
