I've had this for a while and I noticed at least two problems on my mac: 1) It made the history command run much, much slower (I have HISTSIZE=100000) 2) Dates tend to reset to a uniform but meaningless value. I think it's related

I had a horrible experience with TransferWise. They silently canceled my account for suspected fraud after I'd sent my first transfer. No call, no emails, no questions. I didn't find out until days later when I went to check why m

It's not just about GCP and cancelations. By now I associate Google with high maintenance, constant and unnecessary change (great for Google, but nothing in it for me), no maintenance and bugfixes, and neverending re-writes. I feel exp

I was addressing the dubious choice of sources delivered with arrogance and condescension. Couldn't care less about how many airplanes did Serbia take down.

A propaganda poster knowingly conflating the words stealth and invisible, a distinction its intended audience wouldn't be able to make, to mock the enemy? I think I'll stick with the Wikipedia source.

Exactly my experience! This is especially true for people who are into street photography. I've come full circle and I find myself looking for the sharpest picture across the whole frame. Aesthetics aside, I think the reason we reach o

Their enforcement is so bad that they are banning legitimate sellers with little explanation or chance to appeal. The process is opaque, Kafkaesque, and irreversible. My listing was removed because of a single review that read: "...rou
