This stunt embarrassed a multibillion-dollar pharmaceutical company, cost a lot of people a lot of money, and drew even more attention to a controversy, while also eroding huge amounts of what little trust Twitter had left from both users a

It's classic "If I don't understand it, then it must be easy" syndrome. Oh, Twitter is full of bots! So when I'm in charge I'm going to press the "no more bots" button and save Twitter! Also, the comp

If my phone is in my pocket I can't watch billionaires destroy society and the planet in real-time, and then I'll have to catch up on /r/outoftheloop later that week.

When cell phones were in their infancy, I remember reading an article, some kind of op-ed, about how they were ruining society. His primary example, his primary complaint, was a situation where he was at dinner with his wife and his own cel

Canada does the same thing, they actually found a memcached instance of ours on a dev VM that was accidentally exposed to the internet.

I'm assuming I'm not understanding you properly, but are you suggesting that flashing a custom firmware is an easier solution than changing an option in the BIOS?

I'll admit that after reading about the train wreck that is Intel's Linux support for their 12th gen platform, my first thought was "ooh, maybe Ryzen frameworks next". The (other) dream would be an Apple M1/M2-compa

Did you get the 11th gen or the 12th gen? The 11th gen experience is largely free of issues (after a few BIOS updates), but the 12th gen experience is composed almost entirely of them.

These are extremely impressive numbers, and while what is accomplished here is extremely impressive, I just find it funny how rarely Redis or memcached is the bottleneck for an application's scalability. (Obviously it does happen, but

More moving parts reduces reliability. Also, most laptops with collapsable ethernet ports do indeed fold down. I've seen dozens of them, but I've never seen a port like the one you posted (probably because it's a terrible ide

I always give up on Factorio playthroughs when I have to start shuttling different kind of research around on conveyor belts. Up until then it's exciting/exhausting.

I can't think of much else that has been the case as long as Queen Elizabeth II being the monarch. There are more than a few pensioners out there who weren't even born when she ascended the throne; I daresay that very few people u

I assume he means natural-born Canadians rather than naturalized Canadians. That said, I think his statement is not quite accurate. Very few people are aware of (or think about) the monarchy at all, and of the ones that are, very few of the

We've been working on a migration from SVN to Git (since 2019, still going strong!) and, since our workflows are all built around SVN assumptions and SVN workflows, it has served only to make everything more complicated and more finick

If you have that access, you should use svnsync instead. For a large repository, running rsync can take hours just hashing all the individual files on either end to compare, just to eventually update one or two revisions. svnsync is much mo

This reminds me of a sound card I bought way back when (22 years ago or so); it was a wavetable-supporting, Soundblaster Pro-compatible card that I got on sale for 50% off without making any effort at all to look it up online or even check

It's more a question of things like if you're building the Swift compiler in your CI system with macOS nodes less than 10.15, then you'll have to upgrade them. That can be problems if the build nodes you're building on a

As I recall, pipx does this; it installs a separate env, but then provides entrypoints (commands) to the global environment. For example, it would install ansible and the ansible dependencies to a separate environment somewhere, but still p

Your story is relevant and what you went through is horrible, but you may want to practice telling it in a clear and concise way. At first glance your post sounds like a crazy person rant, and it would be unfortunate for people to brush you
