If you're considering a migration anyway, I recommend you give KeePassXC a try before paying for 1Password. It also serves as an SSH agent. I haven't upgraded 1Password since they became a subscription model, so I'm not sure

Not sure what your point is. At least 90% of Canadians use fossil fuels. Next time there is a protest against an oil pipeline is it okay to freeze their bank accounts?

Because the process from growing corn to distilling ethanol requires more energy than it produces. That energy has to come from somewhere, i.e. fossil fuels. It would be cleaner to just burn the fossil fuels than to run the energy through t

Would a general strike be a crime for blocking hundreds of thousands of bottom lines?

Exactly what's bothering me about this. I think you should get vaccinated. I think most of these truckers probably have very stupid reasons for not wanting to get vaccinated. But how can it not scare you to see the government wield pow

I'm vaccinated, and I think almost everyone should take a vaccine. I don't sympathize with the protesters' beliefs, or even their methods. But, I am terrified by the glee that some people seem to express in the government usi

So it’s not specific to functions as arguments? A long-time gripe I’ve had about default parameters in Python is that they are static from function definition time instead of dynamic at call time. A consequence of that is that if you have a

I’m getting an increasing number of fishing emails _from_ gmail addresses. I got a fake Amazon order confirmation yesterday, and get fake Norton subscription receipts monthly.

I’m sure they’ve thought about it, but I’m also curious about the risk of coupling an OTC medical device to the implementation details of a smartphone. Apple never intended the iPhone’s haptics or camera to be used this way, and could chang

They may not radicalize into a Waco Siege situation, but they will likely continue to rob numerous naive members of their money, livelihood, and their children’s opportunities.

You've made quite a leap from what I said (travel, even extensive travel, isn't a pleasure reserved for high-income tech workers) to taking care of infirm or permanently disabled family members. Why not bring up 95-year-old diabet

Exactly what I was thinking. There is alway some kind of privilege to consider, like having a US or British passport, but there’s no way seeing the world a bit is a pleasure reserved for the ultra-wealthy FAANG employee. I wish we were frie

Bull. This is such a boring way to look at life. You can’t go on ‘vacation’ unless you’ve reached a certain (extremely high) level of material success? Maybe if you think of vacation as a place you go for a little while, eat nice food, stay

It really is awful, and it seems like most people just don't care, or don't even know that they could care. Perceived latency was a bit motivation for me to ditch macOS last year and go back to Linux. I haven't got benchmarks

Mark it spam. This is becoming a mantra for me. Companies don’t respect marketing consent preferences, or just don’t provide an option. If you didn’t ask for an email about a specific transaction, it’s spam.

That’s true to an extent, and one of the good reasons that people give is that even if it’s easier to take the train to Hualien than to drive, once there, you’ll need to rent a scooter for the weekend because local transit outside of the ci

I worry the TRA (not high-speed) in Taiwan will collapse. It’s a separate system from the high-speed HSR system, and aside from Taipei, their stations are separate and only loosely connected by buses or metro in Kaohsiung. It’s a shame, bec

I built a product and we bet on Ember back when it, angular and react all looked like top choices. I’d say one of the biggest failures was that it didn’t provide clean upgrades We got stuck with 3.something and no clear path forward. Secon

I’ve seen some references to Hersey fonts in OpenCV’s text rendering. I wonder if those are from the same lineage.

That’s true for me, but I’ve found that the easier and more streamlined my note-taking apparatus is, the less effective it is at helping my memory to congeal. I just keep a scrap of paper handy and jot stuff down occasionally. I’m trying ou

Somewhere in the A/B test slurry there is sometimes a menu item that sorts your news feed chronologically. It really lays bare what a ghost town Facebook is. In my default feed there is all the garbage that you described perfectly, and

If you’re going to troll on Twitter as a UK citizen, please do us all a favor and suffix all your tweets with “in RuneScape” so that we can laugh when you go to jail for suggesting offensive beliefs in a virtual fantasy world.

It’s also far more consistent. The ü of Pinyin only has umlauts with l because lü and lu are both valid syllables. That the u of qu and ju is actually ü, and the u of chu and zhu is u is confusing, to say nothing of yong/-iong. In Zhuy

At my last job IT had tanium installed on our machines. It would make your computer nearly unusable for hours. Sometimes I felt like we had computers that were completely consumed by the overhead it took just for us to have them.

Zhuyin was created on the Mainland during the ROC era, and brought to Taiwan after the Japanese surrender, where it is now the most prominent phonetic system. Prior to the KMT retreat to Taiwan, Mandarin was not widely spoken here. Before J

Zhuyin aren’t Chinese radicals. They are derived from characters. For example the “b” sounds ㄅ comes from the character 包 bāo.

和 is also hé/ㄏㄜˊ in Taiwan sometimes, as in 永和. Those differences aren’t intrinsic to Zhuyin or Pinyin.
