When you say "the NFT" - there isn't actually any legal or technical reason the family can't sell more NFTs of the video, is there? Or anybody else for that matter, unless they count as derived works I guess.

First thing on my wishlist would be something less weird than shift+function keys for zooming.

"Shelter" sounds like a modest expectation, but at least for me, and a lot of other people, a decent level of "shelter" requires you to be pretty well off. The average house here in the UK costs £~305k, so a mortgage on

To be fair, having a home computer at all was for posh kids. Having a BBC B at home was for really posh kids.

by Joeboy 6y ago
Yeah, the BBC B was normally the thing your school had, and despite being a "boring school PC" your mates were probably too busy playing Elite on it too much for you to spend much time using it. BBCs were about twice the price of

Love the film, but am bothered by how nonsensical the decision to nuke the domes was. The linked piece explains it as "cost cutting", which I don't remember from the film but anyway, how is nuking something more economic than

We don't stress much about code style etc, because we have a pre-commit hook that complains if you don't follow (most of) pep8. It's extremely unstressful, and makes our code nicer. I guess it could be different in languages

To me, "suspending" sounds like something you do to accounts, and "banning" sounds more like something you do to people. In practice they're often interchangeable.

Just upgraded mine and it says v1.39.4. Suspect you might have a spurious 1 in there.

Bit of a stab in the dark here, but are you sure the repo is enabled and you're getting updates? I just realized I was using an outdated version because Ubuntu disables third party repos when upgrading.

Apart from anything else, it's rammed with highly quotable and widely quoted dialogue. Anybody watching it for the first time will probably find themselves thinking "Ah - so that's where that comes from" at least a few t

Have you tried parsing an email address (in an RFC compliant way) without a regex?

by Joeboy 6y ago
I've never used tools like that and I feel the same. Regexes provide a simple, well supported solution to a huge number of problems, and I'm not sure what the second problem is supposed to be. The quote is fun, and I've somet

For me, "the media publishes things that are not true" does not count as a conspiracy theory. I've never seen eg. Chomsky's Propaganda Model[1] described as a conspiracy theory. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org&#x

When I enter that into my address bar in Chromium I get a duckduckgo search, but I managed to turn off js from "site settings" and see the site.

by Joeboy 6y ago
Fair enough. For me, using the "Toggle js on and off" extension on Firefox 83.0 on Ubuntu, I see a blank page.

After disabling js I get a blank page in Firefox. Is that right? CBA to decipher the source or work out how to disable js in Chromium.

I'd not heard of it, but then I started seeing references to it everywhere. I believe this is the Baader-Meinhof-Streisand effect.
