See, I like cloying. Before hazies became a thing, I'd mostly drink wee heavies (strong scotch ales) and milk stouts. I also live in Texas, where it gets really damn hot and humid out, and the refreshing citrus taste of hazies really

You might want to look at hazy IPAs a.k.a. New England-style IPAs. They've completely transformed the market, and they're the first hoppy beers I've ever really liked. They're not bitter at all, and instead they focus on

The knitting community is particularly vulnerable to this kind of entryism, as is any other hobby that's seen as traditionally female. Sewing, cooking, etc. A lot of these groups are getting infiltrated by 'tradwives', a stra

I mean, "don't trust the client" was a thing in the late '90s when people were exploiting client-controlled things in Ultima Online so much Origin had to change the way some communication worked to stop it. The most famo

I've been seeing an increasing number of people saying covid is more of a neurological disease than anything else. I first started seeing it in regard to the "happy hypoxics" [0], and I've been seeing more and more repor

This is just going to cause technically-inclined people to configure their networks to MITM all calls to the Windows update servers and block updates network-wide.

Finding out that hippies in the '60s were into The Hobbit was a huge headtrip. For example, Leonard Nimoy sung a ballad about it in 1967, with a music video full of dancing hippies. It's a lot of fun! https://www.yout

I think certain influential members of the administration, such as Stephen Miller, are absolutely familiar with them even if Trump himself isn't. And this isn't even particularly obscure knowledge, it's something that a large

For what it's worth, I have to reactions to that, both positive: 1) I came from an SVN background and only switched to Git because I started working at companies that used it. I still prefer SVN's aesthetics (and I wish I had more

When I first discovered aphyr's site, all of the test articles began with "Call Me Maybe:" rather than "Jepsen:", and then one day all the articles were renamed. I've always suspected he changed it for legal re

For what it's worth, FF14 has taken several cues from UO for its crafting and housing systems. It's the only MMO I've seen since with any real depth in either. With that said, FF14 is still a theme-park MMO in every other w

Blue is the color of intellectualism and prioritizing logic. By its nature, blue is prone to being good at strategy. Magic is a strategy game, so it makes sense blue is inherently good at it. And that's a bit tongue in cheek, but in al

As a side note, if you want to watch 4K video, keep in mind that as of right now, _the_ main draw of 4K is HDR (most 4K video out there is upscaled), and most cheaper 4K screens (both TVs and monitors) don't support HDR. Or if they cla

For what it's worth, the parts of SimRefinery that were intended for non-technical staff were never implemented. I got to watch Phil's livestream last night, and the game as it was implemented was just completely impenetrable unle

One thing that came up in Phil's livestream last night is that new buildings aren't connected to the pipe network, and of course the pipe tool isn't implemented. Maybe at some point people will reverse-engineer the save file

Thinking about structured data at the OS level makes me want to see a revival of Classic Mac OS's resource fork. Structured metadata in every file is a dream of mine.

When we went all-WFH in March, my company switched to Meet for almost all of our meetings (though some use WebEx), and it's fantastic. Audio quality is great, nobody has trouble connecting, etc.

I don't even own a car, and I get them all the time. I make sure to very loudly laugh whenever I get one of those calls, even when I'm completely alone (which has been a little over two weeks solid now...).

Ooh, I really like the idea of this, but I kinda wish he broke Fortran into a whole family, with separate entries for each major version. There was a lot of cross-influence between Algol and Fortran, and while the original Fortran inspired
