It’s sad to see how many people have such a shallow, incorrect opinion of an organization doing an immense amount of good in the world.

Yeah, this is very true. I spent 4 years working on, AFAICT, the most widely translated site on the internet, https://www.jw.org . It’s currently at 994 languages. Handling RTL and sign languages is an especially large undertakin

This is a much better choice. Before proposing to my wife, I used Etsy to have a ring custom made out of platinum and set with an 8mm moissanite. It’s beautiful and was a tiny fraction the price of what a similar looking diamond would have

Unless you can with certainty predict the future, this argument is logically inconsistent. Having the child will possibly result in death to one or both of the mother and child. However, it is also possibly that they’ll both live. Having an

From a purely theoretical standpoint, I’m terribly curious what would happen if we incentivized spending like that. I’m sure it’d be terrible in the long run, but it’d also have definite macroeconomic stimulus effects.

Here’s a similar project we made for syncing stuff to remote docker hosts: https://github.com/crgwbr/accordance

You can also brew install with the Github URL of a formula at a specific version. That simplifies the process somewhat, but yeah, it should be much much easier than this.

Honestly curious: how would you use HTTP{2,3} to push a real-time message from server to client without a WebSocket? Are we back to just long polling?

Fortunately, some car companies are seeing the light of physical control. For example, Honda had mainly touch-only controls on the last generation Accord, but then added a bunch of physical buttons back for the 2018 model.

That’s providing that the login page you enter your credentials in actually is Google/Facebook. The app can easily open a login page which looks identical, but actually submits your credentials somewhere nefarious.

Blueprint.js is decent for desktop-like web apps. If you need to support mobile, then it requires a bit extra work.

Django’s channels project actually gets pretty close to this. It’s not flawless, but it makes it fairly simple to support websockets, etc.

I’ve been using the encrypted git feature to backup dot files and other bits of system config. At work, my dev team uses the FS and chat features for sharing sending sensitive files we don’t want sitting around on email, google drive, etc.

Yes. Since USB-C devices can draw significantly more power than USB-A can supply, any USB-C device into USB-A port adapters are disallowed.

I don’t think that’s likely or desirable. VPCs and the ability to make a service that’s not in the public internet are hugely valuable from a security standpoint. And Ansible, Terraform, etc are great for automation and managing configurati

I didn’t think I’d do great, but amazingly, I got every single question wrong.

Between code signing and sandboxing, this probably isn’t any more dangerous than the JS that Safari downloads and runs every time you open a webpage.

I’m sure electric bikes would be great for commuting, but so much of the joy of owning a bike comes from the mechanical aspects of maintaining it and bonding with it over time—I’m not sure an electric bike would ever be more than a laptop i

I have to use Apple maps regularly due to the iOS<12 CarPlay restrictions, and it regularly gives me bad instructions. Even though I have “avoid tolls” turned on, it consistently tells me to take the Triboro bridge in NYC (an $8 toll) ra

For as long as I can remember, I’ve used ship names from Battlestar Galactica, which are mostly just names from Greek mythology. Galactica, Cerberus, Triton. Pegasus, Valkyrie, Celestus, Prometheus, etc.

For anyone running the macOS high Sierra beta, don't install this yet. I installed it, but it refuses to sync anything on (1) an APFS drive or (2) a network share. The error dialog says it requires HFS+.

But UBI doesn't fix one of the most core issues caused by automation: loss of satisfaction brought about by meaningful work. Humans have an inate need to work; when that need goes unfulfilled, depression and a whole host of mental illn

I got front paged once a few years ago, it was about 15,000 page views in the course of a few hours. It's probably grown since then, but sure by what factor.

Will having logical replication make doing a DB version upgrade in production easier? We're using Postgres 9.4 on RDS right now, and there doesn't seem to be an upgrade path that doesn't involve some downtime.

Things was one of the first Mac apps I ever bought. For some reason, though, the last few years I've settled into a mix of Apple Reminders for personal things and Redmine for Work. I hate todo list fiddling, but this does look tempting
