Genuine question since I don’t live in a city which experiences severe weather events annually: what is the financial incentive in rebuilding destroyed homes, businesses and other infrastructure every few years? Does that actually lead to a

JQ is great once you get the hang of it. Some time back I had to write some simple tests on JSON output and I wrote a couple of helpers if anyone else is interested [0]. [0] https://gist.github.com/Checksum/72d927471c76

While I don’t doubt that the actual deaths from covid is far higher than what’s officially reported, I find the attempts to come up with a multiplier amusing. India has never had high quality data to use as a baseline, even those reported f

OT: is it a given that the person responsible (the captain?) will be fired once this is over? Can the org running the Suez Canal deny entry to vessels by black listing the captain?

Works, but unfortunately the vault has to be unlocked in a non-private window first.

That is definitely the reason I haven't tried to develop anything for the Apple ecosystem even though I've used it for more than a decade. $100 a year is wasted money for hobby projects which may not even be published in an app st

If true, looks like they thought “stand back and stand by” was meant for them.

I don't have a horse in the game - but I feel this will only deepen the divide in US politics. Trump and his followers aren't going to disappear. They will be even more isolated in a new site/app they setup and without this l

In the same boat here. I really want to get rid of WhatsApp, but almost all my contacts exclusively use it for chat and updates.

It’s 2021 and macOS still doesn’t support DisplayPort MST on a $3500 laptop. Bought two expensive Dell USB-C monitors and found that I can’t daisy chain them - have to connect them individually, taking up two ports.

As someone who takes paracetamol instead of NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin) because of increased sensitivity, this scares me. I do have a hard cut-off of three 500mg tablets in 24 hours, and I never take more than 500mg in a 6 hour period. I sh

> Incremental compilation with live reloading (in-place binary patching) That is awesome! I’ve longed for such a feature when I work with Go and Rust although Go is usually fast enough that I can use a custom watch script.

I used to enjoy harmless ones like aliens or flat earthers, but the ones in 2020 are just outright dangerous.

This is good news for everyone. Countries which can’t afford to or don’t have the expertise to thoroughly test and review multiple vaccines can take a cue from the ones that have approved them. Supply is a different issue of course.

> running on silicon optimized to make reference counting as efficient as possible I'm curious to understand this. Is this because of a specific instruction set support, or just the overall unified memory architecture?

Good to see some research on this. Where I live, mask rules have been relaxed outdoors as long as one can maintain social distancing. It is still mandatory to carry a mask with you everywhere should you run into a crowd and can’t maintain d

I've just had one session, so it's too early to tell. I was in the same boat as you - I don't quite believe in alternative therapies, but when you're driven to desperation, you don't mind giving anything a shot. One

People outside India may not realize the importance of train tickets and how difficult they can be to book. Trains are still the primary mode of transport for long distance travel and some routes get booked out in minutes after reservations

I should've worded that better. Of course they can't pull the existing versions, but then can shut down any further development and support.

Right move IMO. The consulting firm a friend works for uses faker.js for almost all their projects. The consultants get paid $1500 a day and they haven’t even thought of donating as it “free and open source”. I also hope the license is more

This is Twitter as a company and the people running it choosing what they feel is right or wrong. We can endlessly argue if they should do it, but it is well within their rights to do so anyway.

100% this! People can’t possibly complain when companies charge for their tools. If an open source project is important to an organisation, they better start donating.

This is bigger than the licensing issue IMO. Thanks for noticing it, I’m uninstalling it right away.
