Occasionally AMZN will send out questions others have asked about products to you in the form of an email if you have previously purchased the same product. Some people mistake those for questions directly asked to them instead of reali

This is also a fantastic way to do the opposite - bring a book/reader/tablet/phone (and maybe a fruit or snack) and power through some learning materials.

I haven't been able to get PS running in Wine since the 2017 CC release (and that required some hackery). Are you aware of a way to get recent releases working aside from QEMU or KVM?

Strangely I found when owning a smallish truck in college, strangers would apparently decide to use my truck bed as a trash bin for their various drink cans. Very strange and annoying. Random beer and energy drink cans would fly out on

If only they had the equivalent of `git diff`. Side note, who mandates these time constraints? Why are seemingly arbitrary deadlines applied? If a bill can stand on its own, why rush it at all unless you intend to enable surreptitious chang

Many laws have been written appearing to be one thing, while being enforced for another purpose entirely. Some commenters may be concerned more with potential for abuses justified under law, rather than the specific use case the law appe

Ah that seems so obvious now that you mention it - a sort of "thin client" model - but I was genuinely confused finding an X11 binary on a company AS400 the other day. Granted, that machine is older than I am. At least that binary

The implication is pretty overt, no? Asking OP to explain almost seems deliberately obtuse. You mentioned, in a decidedly technical forum, that a superior at work made a somewhat questionable tech-related decision by owning a car with das

I'm sure a simple algorithm could fake book spines based on the dominant colors in the cover. Could maybe even train a ML model if you want to really over-engineer it. e.g. how the Android app "Blackplayer" colors the music p

I think key is that both generals have already agreed on a predetermined "meaning" of each coin flip outcome, rather than having to communicate it on a different, slower medium after the coin has been flipped. So really it just fr

Not a physicist, but this might not work quite the same since light is both a particle and a wave, whereas sound is just a pressure wave on a given medium. Would happily be proven wrong though! Seems like the cancelation happening in your

This actually gives that term used as the spoof-equivalent of "The Force" from the movie Spaceballs a surprising double meaning. Had no idea.

An aggregator of stories on a given topic can make anything seem to happen frequently. This would, by design, ignore any stories that don't fit the narrative. It may be a good source for stories on that exact topic, but is by no mean

Friendly tip (in case that wasn't autocorrect in action) - "prey" is someone/something that is hunted, "pray" is what people do to talk to their favorite immortal deity or what-have-you.
