Has anyone else noticed that you sometimes cannot view links that a reddit post is linking out to, if you visit it on the mobile site? I'm starting to see that more and more, though I'm unsure how to pin it down. Normally I have

> And I didn’t call it ‘Autopilot’ here on purpose .... Why do we all tend to focus on, and demonize Tesla’s version? My guess is that it's because Tesla themselves are calling the advanced cruise control system "Autopilot&quo

Reminds me of the older precision mobile workstations. They may have been bricks, but you could swap out just about everything from the GPU to the wi-fi card.

I was actually just about to post this. I clicked the link, began to read, and before even getting through the first paragraph, I encounter that full-page pop-up message for the e-list. At that point I just closed out the site.

I've read somewhere that one major factor is agriculture. Almonds and pistachios require over a gallon of water per nut, or over 1 trillion gallons/year for the former [0] and it seems like that's where at least 10% of calif

I see a lot of efforts to be right software in Rust. People tend to forget that Ada is still alive and well, and I would like to see an initiative to rewrite more software in Ada.

It’s pretty bad. I was at a community yard sale last week, and I was genuinely looking for interesting and useful things not to turn around and sell on eBay but to have an use. Unfortunately, I do a more than a few individuals who were runn

I've been using Credit Karma the last few years for taxes until they sold to Intuit, at which point their tax division went to cash.app. Initially I tried going with them until I realized that I had to download their app on my phone t

The issue in this case, I believe, is that Google is using its dominance as the primary rendering engine to strongarm its own standards. If they want something, they just implement it in chrome and everyone must follow, least the smaller br

IANAL but my guess is that it costs money for the defendant to respond to a lawsuit, so if company A wants person B to stop doing something, even if person B is within their legal right to do so, company A can still force person B to stop,

No OP, but I’m using mailinabox on a linode vps for $5/month. The IP is in a range that doesn’t typically get marked as spam by default, and there are several checkers in place on the admin console to make sure that you’re dotting all

Fellow mailinabox user here. I love how their system “just works”, and wish there was more support for getting mail servers back in the hands of the masses. Something that I very much enjoy is that mailinabox comes with nextcloud installed,

When I first started to learn Ada, I found it one of the most verbose languages I’ve ever used. Now I find myself practicing those wordy conventions in other languages too.
