Not really sure I follow? For anyone living in poverty, increases in the price of staple foods will be a disaster, no?

Thanks for this warning. My local environment is an old ThinkPad t420 maxed out at 8.9Gi RAM. I do as much as possible in the terminal. If VS Code won't run well on a Droplet, it's unlikely to be an option for me.

Dumb question, from someone who doesn't use web-based instant environments like these: what are some popular "locally hosted" alternatives? For reasons of personal taste, I just don't like browser based development (not

Who's saying octopuses instead of octopi? It might wrong, but it's succinct wrong.

Are there stats on the location:activity ratio? Are people in some locations more verbose than others?

Everything old is new again. Phone chatrooms were like this in the 80s.

Sounds good, although it would have to be context aware. For example, code that often gets removed in a production environment might be dissimilar to choose that is typically removed in dev or testing. There are also other triggers of code

Nice. One suggestion, your README.md references the GitHub-hosted list, but in that list itself it says: > Please pull this list from, and only from https://publicsuffix.org/list/public_suffix_list.dat , rather than

I've never heard of this. Looks great, thanks!

Nice, but the conversation in the comments on that page suggests the legality of that "trick" is unresolved, open to change, and location-specific.

That looks fun :) Although from what I can see from a little Googling, these guys might be more street-fighters than MMA players. Some cross-over, I'm sure. My Polish isn't good enough to tell. I'd like to see what difference

Erm.... I've literally seen fights start and end with one headbutt. I'd suggest there's a bit of us all "talking past reach other". I have no doubt that anyone who thinks they can end a fight by a headbutt, finger b

Hmmm, I think we're partly in agreement. I've also drilled multiple assailant stuff too, although rarely. My point was more about MMA not being the pinnacle of fighting. There's much that an MMA fighter would never learn. But

You may like to check out how (Western) artists responded to photography. Edgar Degas' paintings of horse races and ballet dancers are a great example. Photographers of the time hadn't quite worked out how to frame a photo, due to

Okay, I'm stealing this. I'm going to prepare a broken sudoku and ask my partner/colleague/whoever to debug it, then interrupt them to ask when they'll be finished :)

Well, MMA is a one-on-one sport, with all that entails. No multiple opponents, no small joint manipulation, no gouging, no biting, no spitting, no striking the neck or back of the head, no kicking the head of a downed opponent.... etc etc.

This is a creative approach, and on some level I like it. However, it does seem to be kicking the can down the road. If a website is storing significant details in my browser I'd still want to know why, necessitating.... some sort of..

While it may be true that the figure of 10,000 steps per day is fairly hand-wavey, headlines like this can be counter-productive since they can encourage people to abandon the overall goal of being more active. What's interesting to me

Yeah it's a bit of a gap in the most popular wearables, I feel. Many can do it, but the pedometer function is typically automatic or "always on" while cycling tracking requires some fiddling. Some Garmin wearables (and others
