It's a distributed content-addressed datastore, like Git or Bittorrent or Gnutella or Freenet, but maybe trying harder than any of those to be a direct replacement for web servers. I think they aim to make "ipfs://whate

Right. I think the important distinction is whether an imperative language is used to describe things that could be done purely declaratively, as is the case with Gradle[1]. I think this happens all too often because the oldschool decla

This was actually a significant issue in a large PHP codebase I used to work on. Client hired a new guy who insisted that we convert everything to spaces, and suddenly it took about twice as long to check the thing out from Subversion.

I also wonder this. Some thoughts: 1) Life is remarkably adaptive. 2) There probably won't be much longer.

I had a big data loss event back in 2008ish when someone found out, I'm guessing, that they could upload a PHP file to an upload-anything form on my home server. I thought I was keeping it secure by disallowing ".php" files,

They are somewhat analogous, though. Not to mention intertwined. What keeps our dominant political parties running? Money from big business. Where do they get their money? By selling stuff. All the better for their profits if they can

Another solution: stuff everything that fits into Git repos, fetch --all from each of your different computers regularly. For things that don't fit nicely into Git (e.g. large collections of large binary files), I use a homegrown git-l

Hmm, some of those trees appear based on parallax to be farther away than the shoreline that they're painted over. Otherwise, pretty nice.

Looking at my local Home Depot's website, they do have a few different options for NEMA inlets in stock, but the options are pretty limited, and they're all larger connectors, not your standard 3-prong connector onto which you cou

Except that flashlights are easy to find in any gas station, and NEMA inlets are not. Yeah, it's dangerous because some kid might take that double-male cord and plug it in somewhere problematic, but given the lack of obvious alternativ

Sure, but that's more of an inline-style connector. I want something panel-mounted. With enough epoxy something like what you linked to could be adapted, but my time has value also. What I want is something like this: https:/&

NEMA power inlets are weirdly expensive and therefore hard to come by. So if you want to have a wall-powered device with a detachable cord, using an outlet as an inlet and a male-to-male cord is a simple solution. (And yes, I'm aware

I have a Framework laptop, and it's pretty nice, I guess, but I would not have minded it being a few mm thicker, and then this could have been a more normal module. I never understood the appeal of paper-thin laptops.

Yep. I could take a million pictures per day of my cats because they're cute, but those aren't going to be interesting even to me in a couple of years. I actually try to take what others might consider 'bad' pictures.

As a kid, I saw these things often on multiple-choice test sheets. The tens digit at the end of each row not matching that at the beginning always seemed awkward, and I wondered why they didn't just start at zero. This was long befor
