I mean, if we're fantasizing we might as well have a post-scarcity society along the lines of Manna: http://marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm

Yes, but you have to click past an annoying prompt[1] every time. Does that not happen for you? [1]: https://i.postimg.cc/jjBSVmCX/Screenshot-at-2019-09-01-15-23...

Twitter is barely usable with JS disabled. Any time you follow a link to it you'll get a worthless interstitial "would you like to proceed to legacy twitter??" with only one button: "Yes." As of recently, if you hav

For reddit, try old.reddit.com, or you can set your account to always use old in preferences. It's not as clean as hn, but way better than "new" reddit. (I use it even on my fast connection.)

I don't think your analogy is valid unless you at least warn ad-blocking users that you don't approve of it. Otherwise the sign on the jar is more like "Take a cookie, and if you feel like it, leave a dollar."

AFAIK it isn't, but it's Google, so there's a 50/50 chance it could be deprecated tomorrow. I'm dying to jump ship whether or not it's deprecated though, because the web and Android apps are just unbearably shi

perl -MText::CSV will take care of that.

Wow. I've been praying for a Google Voice replacement for around a decade now, I guess this it it!

The thing is that a 30 year old LC will cost you about as much as many decent new cars.

"ssh to as many cars as possible in 15 minutes" oh lawd.

They're not allowed to unpredictably and inexplicably fail like consumer stuff, but they're also orders of magnitude more expensive.

How does your site deal with ad blocking users? Do you block them from your website? Isn't it kind of nice that at least some of these users, despite not wanting your ads, still want to find a way to pay you, even going to the point of

It's $42k annually and that's before the insurance, maintenance, depreciation and fuel, so down to the mid-to-high 30's. That seems like it would be poverty level in many California cities.

Most if not all of the variables in question come from the Bourne shell. It's fair to mention bash still using them today because it's supposed to be Bourne's successor.

1. You can and probably should base your image on node:10-alpine instead of node:10 2. Even if you don't, why would you have to maintain a separate container? If `RUN apt install jq` is indeed the second entry in your Dockerfile after

There's almost certainly a free app for Windows that's even better than the Microsoft version. He said his dad doesn't want "some other app," for whatever reason, but he's not stuck if they are available. Hell

I think being forced to think about ads for Spotify and Office is exactly what he's trying to avoid.

Not using Windows, but I have some machines with similar specs and they are quite useful even for browsing many if not most websites. But, you must have NoScript and ad blocking. So to be fair to Microsoft, at least some, if not all of the

Sure, that sounds reasonable but even my bank manages to just display a warning at the top which I can click away for the rest of the session. So when something like Skype or Slack just outright refuses to work, it's quite some nerve t

Slack is guilty of this as well. They support Firefox obviously, but if you try to connect with a niche browser like Waterfox you get a great patronizing message about how it's for your own good and they only want to provide you the &q
