> trash talk the prior coders This is one of the things that make the software life worth living! It's even better when you realize that the prior coder was, in fact, your own damn self.

I’m not aware of a cloud provider that is contractually allowed to do such a thing (except maybe alibaba by way of the CCP). Dying companies get purchased and have their assets pilfered every day, the same thing would happen with cloud asse

This is weird, I legitimately have none of these problems. I use Firefox, and the extension story has gotten a bit more odd in the last couple years*, but I don’t feel it’s any less reliable. The way 1p handles 2FA is really slick in my opi

I definitely did things as a teenager that were dangerous, unnecessary, detrimental to my physical or mental health, etc. etc. I don't have kids, but I would probably make some effort to dissuade my kids from doing the same things I di

This isn't a television, it's a product similar to Google's Nest Hub; i.e. your standard "smart speaker" plus a display. Don't disagree with your outrage at all. I wouldn't buy a more critical appliance ad

The paper is titled “ Combined effects of host genetics *and diet* on human gut microbiota and incident disease…” (emphasis mine). Dairy (and the way some people process it, because of genetics) was shown to influence levels of certain bact

My personal, completely unsubstantiated take is: your diet allows certain bacteria to thrive (or not). It’s less about trying to avoid the bad ones and more about trying to nurture the good ones. One incredible thing you can do for your gut

There was a reporting mechanism. I still wouldn’t switch over it (literally every company storing loads of data does this, but it’s usually server-side and less carefully thought-out). At the end of the day, you have to consider the fact

Or you can run pihole and get DNS-level blocking for your entire network with no extensions/config on individual devices. Also with pihole, you almost never run into the dreaded “it looks like you’re using ad block!”.

To be fair, it depends on the screen. The submission makes it sound like the whole first page is ads, but there’s 4 ads at the top instead of the usual 2-3. It happens to extend to the fold in this Twitter user’s browser. I scroll past al

A vaccine has the potential to give you enough of an immune response to prevent an infection. But eradicating an existing HIV infection is a very different problem. The virus lies dormant in large quantities, and your immune system will onl

This looks cool, I love fan edits. Kind of depressing it's DVD-quality, though.

I think another great example is Jackson’s LotR vs. The Hobbit films. The first trilogy was way more immersive, primarily because of the different balance of practical and special effects.

I drove a Tesla in December for the first time, too; but it was before this update. I wasn't blown away. I rented it for a medium-length road trip, and was looking forward to autopilot on the highway. I found the features really lack-l

I mean I guess I expect to find replies from humans? I follow AP because getting raw reporting is valuable. I don’t get a lot of value from the comments section, I just used this as an example because I’ve noticed it.

I pulled this reply from the most recent Associated Press tweet. Yeah, I'm sure they've mentioned Bitcoin at some point, but it has nothing to do with my Twitter usage.

metamask is a crypto thing, huge amounts of twitter spam are related to crypto nonsense.

As noted on the GNU emacs site[0], you can download prebuilt binaries here[1], if you really can’t be bothered with ‘make install’. Homebrew is hardly necessary (for most things.) [0]: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs

I kind of agree, but I respect the fact that the site hasn't had any major issues while (presumably) millions of orders have flooded in over the last 24 hours. I can't remember the last product I pre-ordered, for example, that was

I only get a trickle of this type of spam, but I think that makes it more annoying? In the last six months it seems worse, multiple “just checking one more time” messages for positions that have literally zero overlap with my experience or

It depends, these groups of people are not a monolith. US federal legislation and agencies often use “Native American” or “American Indian” on signage, etc. and some groups use similar, others don’t. I have found “indigenous” to be the most

I’ve never thought about this! That’s hilarious. Although I assume, like everything crypto, there’s some centralized SPOF; in this case, the one guy from the “team” making the actual bids, who could stop things from getting truly out of han

Unfortunately in my area (Seattle), they do not. Not in stores, not online. I believe they’ve had them momentarily a couple times throughout the pandemic, but they don’t have a steady supply.

It’s been really strange buying masks for the last couple years. I’ve been able to buy a brand I recognize (3M) from a retailer I trust (Home Depot) one time. Every other purchase has been a no-name supplier on Amazon or at a store. I event
