Is there any information on the licensing of this? It's going to be included with MSWord, sure, but what if I want to use it as a webfont?

A number of years ago, maybe six or seven, I was staying at a cabin in the middle of nowhere northern Minnesota. Well over an hours drive away from any major town or retailer. My intentions were to work from the cabin for the week in peace

Practically speaking, how much could it cost to maintain the CVE database? Given its enormous value, isn't this something that the community, especially FAANG (MAANA?) could step up and fund as a nonprofit?

Broadcast TV after the digital rollout was so bad many people just stopped watching TV. Picking it up is such a hassle it's simply not worth the effort for some ad laden TV. At the time of the switchover in the early 2000s I lived abou

I have a small handful of people I would call my friend. Most of them since grade school. Yet, in my life, I have had three people I have really truly opened up to. One of them died suddenly, I miss you Meka. One of them stopped talking to

I have a home office and sometimes my wife will come busting in with the kids being silly. It's not a big deal but I would like some sort of indication for outside the room for when I am in a meeting. This seems more designed for share

It's not a redirect. It's an actual A record on the domain for local.example.com -> 127.0.0.1 Then we just have an entry for local.example.com in our vhosts and bam everything works as expected. No need to mess with /etc&#

Everything old is new again. Back in the early 2000's I used Mozilla Sunbird to host my calendar on my personal Win2k server via IIS's WebDAV module… I don't think CardDAV was a thing yet but I might be mistaken. I ended up

It was YAML but I actually really liked Drone CI's "In this container, run these commands" it was much more sane than GitHub Actions "Here's an environment we pre-installed a bunch of crap in, you can install the st

Our workflows amount to essentially - make build - make test We got bought out, and the company that bought us' workflow files are hundreds and hundreds of lines long, often with repeated sections. Call me old school, but

Ooh, this reminds me a lot of MooTools' optional FX package back in the early aughts. I've still got it in a couple places because it's been difficult to replace.

I got it to generate the Italian plumber with a red hat after demanding it do so three times in a row. It offered alternatives each time so my guess is it changed... something.

I personally like trackballs with a large central ball where I can use all my fingers. I am aware Ploopy offers one. This style however has fallen out of popularity, but I've been using them since the mid-90s. Just using your thumb for

My first job I worked was for a small agency. I was kind of a young go getter and was able to very quickly pump out bad (in hindsight) yet mostly functional code very quickly. Sales people figured out they could come to me specifically for

I really wish the web would have adopted micropayments at the HTTP level as has been talked about since the late 1990s. I would be far more willing to toss a website a dime or quarter to read a single article than I am to buy a full subscri
