This is a cool project, but I should feel the need to warn anyone who gets too involved: the main person (T. Cherryhomes) behind this has a weird proclivity to tell people to kill themselves. He's done it to me, my friends, and random

It's in beta, and they may not have built everything out; however, ios16 allows for small delta updates (rapid response) and has further packaged everything neatly. As ios16 isn't out yet, I don't expect the features to be fu

I ran into him at the post office in rockridge/temescal. I asked him if he was indeed Cliff. We stepped outside and chatted for about half an hour. It was an incredibly good conversation.

The problem is that having pride in your work no longer gets you as far as it used to. Many jobs have no room for advancement, and many people are stuck in cog-like retail roles in which rising through the ranks yields an extra few dollars

It's because for a lot of Americans, capitalism isn't "working" for them. As wealth continues to centralize, their quality of life isn't improving and class mobility is stagnating. People aren't necessarily adv

Under heavy load, electric motors get hot faster (which makes them less efficient). It doesn't surprise me to hear they're having problems with towing.

I don't think phones are bad. I don't think having it with you all the time is bad. I think what's bad is letting it draw you in constantly. Install all your dumb apps, but also turn off notifications for anything but direct

Firefox has done a wonderful job of building first class privacy features into their browser. It's fast, and responsive. They have some leadership issues, but the technical side of things seems to be doing well. I switched to it as my

Considering the article writer already expresses some clear misunderstandings, I don't think it's correct. Maybe they witnessed it, but that would be a bigger deal than some shitty windows box being popped. Certainly, that would n

In a correctly configured system, the terminal itself would have to be reconfigured. That can sort of be be done via the POS, but also requires credentials from the group that configured the terminal. The terminals really don't trust t

btw if anyone has ever taken a look at a POS setup, it's a bit misleading to the uninformed In some solutions, the readers are in fact hooked up directly to the POS system. However, the card terminal does not see unencrypted payment da

A practical, long-existing solution is glittery nail polish. For non-painted metal seams, it's quick, simple, cheap, and easy to clean off. It's also almost impossible to duplicate.

Because the cryptocurrency community demonstrated incredible hubris, and even mocked "no-coiners" constantly. So, it shouldn't be a surprise that some people would respond in kind. I don't think it's great to mock p

If this person was taught game dev any time before about 2005, that would have still been relevant knowledge. Doing a large malloc or causing paging could have slaughtered game execution, especially during streaming. >If you want a good
