I wonder whether that's some kind of odd safety clause, or an even odder anti-proliferation clause?

Or you could not make assumptions like this. There are more ways to represent dates than there are bones in my body. What seems like a silly way to you might be the preferred way for someone else, for a variety of reasons.

Why would anyone bother releasing dirt on Trump? The man is a walking dumpster of filth. Every other word out of his mouth offends one demographic or another. Doesn't seem to have much effect on his supporters. And anyone who isn'

Indeed. Or just get rid of escalators entirely. Stairs are much cheaper and can accomodate more people. And maybe it'll dissuade people from running around with more luggage than they can carry. Lifts are of course perfectly acceptable

That obviously depends on the infrastructure. If the bike lane is an actual bike lane, then cars turning right should wait until cyclist are done crossing the road. Please don't assume your system is universal: it's broken and it&

That's hilariously silly. Based on what? Their own love of cars? Research in car-centric communities?

Letting 16 year olds drive is probably part of the problem. In more bicycle-friendly countries, kids start drinking before they start driving. Cycling to and from parties until they're at least 18. Hell, want to go anywhere at all? Cyc

Makes sense, no? You're driving around in a 1000kg death-machine with an engine powerful enough to be countend in the order of a hundred horses. Don't you think that being extremely cautious is the least any driver should be doi

Surreal? Hardly. There's room for plenty more. Most UK (hell, most countries') cities have extremely crappy bicycle infrastructure. Which is stupid, considering the many benefits of having a population of cyclists. Fewer road deat

They mess up 'herd immunity' and should be locked up in padded rooms. I don't mind if they want to fuck themselves up, but they're jeapordizing the health of everyone they come in contact with.

No, but it should be a reasonably straightforward port.

Got any tips on convincing my employer to OK a sit/stand desk? Not allowed to bring in my own desk, sadly:-(

It can be, or it can be really bad. Depends on how you're swimming. Especially when doing breast stroke, it's very important not to pull your neck back/up. Keep your head down.

Don't have the relevant links handy on my phone, but stretching hamstrings and foam rolling glutes are frowned upon when you spend all day sitting. Strengthening the glutes+abs and gently stretching the lower back+hip flexors is a bett

Why do you think it's ok to spy on your users on a school network?

What I do on my own time is none of my employer's business. Mileage and regulations may vary, of course. I work about 20hrs a week on various side-gigs. Pretty strict about the working hours and work not overlapping with whatever my cu

Unfortunately its power usage is crazy bad. It draws about 7W when idle. Devices like the BeagleBone, Pi or even most consumer-grade wifi routers draw a fraction of that.

If you use multiple identities, and want to reduce the odds of accidentally using the wrong one, then having different passwords is a good idea.

You should do this even if you're not using fail2ban. Otherwise any box you connect to can enumerate all of your public keys, which could be a problem for some people.

I just finished watching it, and now HN tells me Nasa has an announcement? Fun coincidence. I really enjoyed the movie. Mood wise it's somewhere between Apollo 13 and Contact.

I wish people would stop saying thay. It is an issue. Maybe not for you, but for a lot of people. It allows any server you connect to to enumerate all of your public keys and identities. If you use nasty leaky services like Github then at

Yeah, that sounds like a lot of fun for a masochist. As if LDAP isn't a big enough pain in the arse to set up, Kerberos is even worse. Not to mention how much of a pain it is to integrate it in an application.

I don't drive and don't have a license, but Uber is banned in my neck of the woods and taxis are ridiculously expensive. Driving would probably make my life a lot easier.

Ah yes, I'm sure they all deeply regret 4 years of learning, growing as human beings, making friends, etc. Being unemployable after college is BS. Being unemployed is a different matter, but uneducated unemployment is much higher than
