I'd probably prefer to not know, and die in my sleep - surely preferred over the dread of knowing the moment, even if it would be painless/easy. Not sure, my opinion might be different if I'm old and suffering!

Yeah, I think it's fair to be cautious about the topic and keep a close eye on the employment of the MAID process. It's definitely one of those things that warrants a lot of oversight IMO, lest the line between mercy and manslaug

Oh, then I suppose that page is out of date and should be updated. Thanks for the up-to-date info!

at least a top-level metadata property can be explicitly defined in a .json.schema[0] and formalized, rather than being some kind of ad-hoc pre-processor step you have to evaluate before actually using the JSON data. I didn't even kno

The linked article is a bit hyperbolic but the news covered pretty widely. "Rigged" might not be the right term, but pretty coordinated interference seems to have occurred. https://www.reuters.com/world/europ

Yeah, I mean, I always do, if I can manage it. Paying someone $500 to do something that I can do myself in an hour or two seems pretty nuts. Information on vehicle repair is more available than ever before, especially when you can source

I find I can recall something with accurate pitch, but the "memory" of that pitch fades over time. Whatever my current favorite song is, I can hum it at the right pitch. But, if I were to try to do so a month later, it will prob

I felt like 3GS was the best form-factor. Fits so nicely in the hand and you can reach almost the entire screen with your thumb while holding it (more or less). I wish I could have just kept using that forever.

Yup, I use computers from 2012 which are still running the absolute latest software just fine. Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, etc. :)

Hell yeah. I still have the original 1996 VHS English-dubbed release from Manga Entertainment. Having a KMFDM song be the soundtrack to Manga Ent's intro video[0] absolutely blew me away because this was my favorite band at the time

Sooner or later, you will be less able than you are now. Everyone faces disability, it's just a matter of when, or how rapidly it happens.

Yeah there are at least two X230's powered on in my home as we speak. To me that was the last good keyboard. I got an X250 and it's not even close. Same with T480… really disappointing. Using the X230 (and X220) is always a pl
