Not a single mention of "privacy", so I'm going to assume that this is a manifesto written by someone who just wants everyone's private data. Reminds me of the spirit of "Data for Good", which has become a whit

Nothing says, "steal all my shit" like an obnoxiously shaped LED shelter that looks like it cost a fortune.

Agreed. Haproxy is an absolute wonder compared to similar systems. It all just feels so much cleaner, thought out, and built from the ground up for many different use cases. It very much has a feel that reminds me a lot of the spirit of sql

grep -n also works in place of `nl`!

You're really preaching to the choir there. But again and kindly, I'm not sure my childhood memory from 20 years ago is the right place as a launchpad for this discussion..

It's not a yes nor is it a no because man, I'm really not sure what amounts to, "is it okay for teachers to show high schoolers a video game centered around trying to fuck anything that moves" is the right topic to even

My high school programming class got to go on a field trip to the studio that made LSL for a studio tour. Since, well, high schoolers, they did everything they could not to mention the series until one of my classmates raised his hand in th

The 100k stat that wiki page cites is from this [0] hilariously uhthorough document. The "gang database" that I'm assuming that statistic is sourced from has been found to be completely riddled with errors. "Those mistak

That website is exceptionally biased in its motivations and doesn't give its sources of information. Take anything from it with a grain of salt and please try to identify other sources of information.

Can you share some then? Asking honestly. IME, "factual objective analysis" relies on the underlying data being accurate and clean. That's never, ever the case, but people see "data" and think of it as a baseline tr

An argument can be made that participating in the stock market and participating in post-HS education are participating in "peak society". Peak society arm 1 should lend a hand to peak society arm 2.

What would be an "acceptable" percent of people who, despite not committing the crime they've been charged with, spent 6mo in jail to you? 5%? 10%? 20%? And yes, the law typically makes a distinction, but that's ultimate

Yeah no kidding re: pick(). It's always been a major pain point in jq when trying to write concise jq commands. Super glad they added it.

Well that's a wild complex relationship I had no idea existed. Pretty fucked up. What's the court # for that case? Are they explicit in their filings that they seek to change the case law?

Kinda missing the point by focusing on the 30-60 bracket there, friend. You also need to consider the people who are on the train with delays. One of the sadder things I've seen is someone missing a post-midnight intercom announcemen

This site has historical data -- just use wildcards... and then write a scraper :) https://juckins.net/amtrak_status/archive/html/history.php

Um. The evidence very much shows how much of a shitshow Amtrak is. Have a look at Grand Junction station delays for the past week[1]. Seven out of eleven have delays of over thirty minutes. Three of those are an hour late. One of them is a

The latter. Basically [1] but not as exaggerated. Think of things like screws shaking loose over time which leads to structural failure. Plus, no easy means to release that energy like you would when you're attached to a planet. [1] h

Thanks for sharing! Some interesting things -- "And one would like to launch hundreds of spacecraft (at least) in different directions so that some would come within dozens of AU of Planet 9, rather than hundreds of AU." Their exa

Might be one way, but that doesn't mean you can't DDoS it (by accident or otherwise).

Objects have a resonant frequency and will jiggle in strange ways. The larger the object, the larger the possible jiggles. The larger the jiggles the larger the destruction.

"literally nothing there" 1. Space is big. 2. Space is REALLY big! 3. This thing would be tiny. 4. This thing would be invisible. Combine these four together and you'll quickly realize just how difficult even scoping out the

I highly recommend that you watch a public bond hearing. It's long and boring, but I promise you'll learn a lot from it.
