To restate what the twitter user was saying: "It seemed like this was a get-rick-quick scheme, but this person could be useful to my goals, so I decided to overlook that" I guess you can argue that get-rick-quick does not necessar

Mid-twenties bachelor here, your suspicions are 100% correct. I don't mind WFH too much, especially now that I have a companion pet, but I definitely feel like I can dig into work with more focus and vigor in the office. It also took

There are ways around it: You can put the RJ45 inside a water-tight screw-together housing, or at least use a standard plug design -- the best option being a waterproof variant of an IEC metric screw sized connector like M12: https:/&

I think the argument is not that structure should be dispensed, or that it doesn't matter, rather that a given style convention is fungible , and we should probably all just pick something good enough and get on with it, because the c

Interesting, Black docs specifically calls out an option for users with that exact use case for mixing single and double-quoted strings (although they do recommend dispensing of it eventually): https://black.readthedocs.io/e

You might want to consider sampling a broader source of news or discussion. HN is prone to insulation and echo chambers like any other social media. I can tell you that there is a large contingent of Twitter, for example, fully on board wit

In this case, that is correct. From my (and the project TOS;DR's [0]) interpretation the TOS is still in general worded in such a way that Google can ultimately say, "we feel this shouldn't be here" and remove it. For th

Good advice. This is why I encourage anyone with sensitive digital data (photos, important receipts, etc) to set up a 3-2-1 backup: 3 copies of the data, 2 of which are on different, local mediums (i.e. hard drive and a thumb drive) 1

Always operate under the assumption that iCloud (Apple), Microsoft and Google will delete any/all of your data, with no notice, and for no reason. Because they explicitly reserve the right to do so in their TOSes. Not your computer, no

Depends, but unless you are directly contracting with UP (i.e. paying for an entire container on a carriage) you should file a claim with the shipper, the company that sent it. If they won't or can't help you, then talk to the int

That's a real shame. It is so frustrating that every entrant into the smart TV market has decided to go the route of subsidizing hardware with advertising; its like everyone saw Amazon pull it off on kindle/tablets and decided it

B2 costs me roughly 52 cents per month to backup 250GB of data. I'd say that if you have enough income to have an internet connection and generate enough data to want a cloud backup tool, it is effectively free.
