Is there an LTO-6 tape drive that is, say, less than a thousand dollars? All tape drives I've seen are between 2-4k USD.

It's dice pair, not die pair. That means 4 die.

I agree. OP is using the logic of a Chuck Palahniuk's character.

Isn't it interesting how the word "nothingburger" isn't politically neutral? I wonder how many words are like that.

False dichotomy. Not being on social media doesn't mean that one is spending time on personal growth. Some people just like to stare at the ceiling, for example.

I think the OP meant turning the TV on (and by extension, computer screens).

I'm pretty sure they're deceptively referring to VSCode proper.

I love wearing my CPAP. Not because it's comfortable; it's certainly not. My mask pillows are slowly stretching my nasal orifices, so it's ruining my face aesthetically I love it because if I even nap 20 minutes without my CP

Does Spotify pay more if users stream the track in the foreground? Or what do you mean?

You do know that white noise can be generated really easily, right? Tap on white noise app, press play. You don't have to worry about having downloading the track so it's available when you hop on a plane, or having internet, or u

Downloading 500KB of pseudorandom numbers is insane. Just generate them on the fly.

Why would anybody buy something that can be substituted with cat /dev/urandom > /dev/audio? There are thousands of free apps that do exactly that. Streaming white noise from Spotify or iTunes seems, to me, incredibly

It's unnerving to see someone keeping highly accurate records of mundane things such as battery purchase dates, nominal capacities, and charger model numbers. I need to ask, do you work with these things daily, or do you just have an e

Fantastic article. Albini went from being a privileged edgelord to an admirable grownup through listening to others and self-introspection and understanding. He was never afraid to voice his ignorant and tone-deaf opinions, which we all hav

There's also a lower incidence of cancer in the population living in high altitudes despite being exposed to more ultraviolet light. I believe the leading hypothesis is that the higher oxygen at lower altitudes causes more oxidation.

Thanks for saying that. Although I've resigned myself because I know that people will often not acknowledge and have empathy and understanding towards a condition if they haven't experienced it in their own skin. It's depress

The next version of GPT might have better citations, and they could just refuse to cite things they were not allowed to crawl. However, it's trivial to know whether the bot crawled your site or stopped at robots.txt.

Emacs's RPN calculator mode is fantastic, but you're not into RPN. If you're computing long formulae, algebraic mode is certainly better. If you're doing mostly sums on a large amount of values (my most common use case),

If we're doing anecdotal observations, I'll add one of my own. At around 40, you start seeing visible signs of aging in most of your same age peers, but the skin elasticity and wrinkles are terrible on those who smoke. I mean, I k
