That shallow angle can be found optionally in window sills too. You can sand off a part of the sill to add a positive drainage angle. You counteract the slope by using sill wedges to keep your window level. There also exists more proprietar

Really? I thought only investment banking was famously immoral? It always seemed like traditional banking and card networks were not so much moral or immoral, but more conservative with risk. Though their definition of risk also seemed to b

Maybe you have a different viewpoint of the ecosystem than me? Everyone I know that's used this is not an AI expert but still tech savvy. None of them have trained their own models. The path of least resistance for them would be to wor

And yet watermarks are a thing. I'm skeptical that no one will use this, especially if you can put it into a pipeline of multiple image transformations that "protect art". It could be bundled into tools or on platforms themse

The scammers are getting better data now too. I ended my AT&T service and sent back my modem, with a penalty if you fail to do so. Somehow, a separate entity is now calling me about it, in the exact time frame AT&T would if I had no

I've had the same issue! I went back through my email for the past 3 months and here's a couple with no unsubscribe: * Google Calendar now shows less spam * AT&T asking me to update my email preferences, when I explicitly opte

I didn't know about extended attributes before this, but also I grew up with Windows and now Linux and just haven't run into them. Do people other than the OS tend to use these? Are they well-trodden and portable between OS's

Backblaze B2 is the same price as Dropbox for 2TB ($0.005/Gb/mo vs Dropbox $10/2TB/mo) You can also use rclone to upload to Dropbox as the backup solution. Just wrap it in a crypt target so that Dropbox doesn't actu

That wouldn't be a problem in this case though? The vertices of 2 fullscreen triangles can be passed to the GPU using hardcoded values without any precision error (integers below a certain value can be represented precisely using float

Do you find that your Matrix integrations with other services are flaky at all? Or have trouble integrating specific features from other types of chat?

Is there a good self-hosted Vercel? I _love_ the workflow of Vercel, but I dread the day they change the pricing. I know of staticdeploy.io/ but it's not active

I tried this with my bank when I mistyped the email on a ticketing purchase (.con instead of .com) and they wouldn't initiate a charge back. Perhaps they were in a similar situation?

Anyone notice all the gambling sponsors? Looks like they're fed from OpenCollective (see BACKERS.md in the github repo). Feels like they're trying to get backlinks as their URLs end up as anchor tags on the site Such a weird ecosy

For example, see the .audio domain or any of the other Uniregistry domains that went through a massive as much as 1400% price increase in 2017 after people had already bought domains. https://blog.dnsimple.com/2017/08&#

Why not? Sounds fun They mention at the top because they didn't want to colocate it. So I imagine they did it because they could?

I absolutely love these! I already take pictures of things to remember the memories that are evoked by those objects. A 3D scan would be wonderful imo. Maybe even giving people the ability to recreate the item should they truly want it back

I wonder how hard it would be to start a service like that. It would be large branding task (and a fun one!), but I imagine materials and labor cost would be super low.

I imagine the only con is extra spent brain-CPU cycles? Balance that against the benefit of a self-induced feeling of loving and the mental benefits that come with that like stability and stillness. I think it'd be great for mental hea

Maybe try uBlock origin? It does it for me on Firefox (desktop and mobile). The alternate front ends can be nice too.

It's still out there, it's just harder to find. YouTube also doesn't want to send it to my subscriptions inbox so I now prefer NewPipe which actually shows me what each channel posts.
