This article needs an update to after this version where Microsoft used a touch-friendly calculator that took up half the screen and somehow took a second+ to load.

If we are going to add some notes... I appreciate it if sites demoing their CSS embed the non-minimized version. I wanted to take a quick peek at what it looked like, but instead I have to go through a few additional hops to grab the source

That is a tremendously useful utility. Only annoyed they do not provide builds so I am going to have to install the Go tooling and/or re-implement my own half-baked version.

Zipping up a project directory even without git can be a big file collection. Python virtual environment or node_modules, can quickly get into thousands of small files.

HDD for testing is a pretty big caveat for modern tooling benchmarks. Maybe everything holds the same if done on a SSD, but that feels like a pretty big assumption given the wildly different performance characteristics between the two.

It is wild when you watch a movie in the 80s-90s and see people casually smoking in a mall or restaurant. Amazing how quickly that changed.

The shared vs static libs divide has been ongoing since libraries were a thing. Not an OS maintainer/packager, but from the outside, it really seems most of Debian's headaches are because they want to maximize compatibility owing

Are there any F500 companies remaining which have not had a RTO push? Not only has my company been increasingly pressuring RTO, they are getting rid of offices and even cubicles. You can now hotel in an open office hellscape. Return to offi

Maybe there would have been an opportunity for a three-wheel recumbent bike to be developed first? Seems like a lot of easier engineering if you can take stability as a given and just worry about the driver supplying direction and power.

How about being able to disable the check entirely? I really dislike tools phoning home unless asked.

Well...that is certainly something. I am still bewildered as to how the method was discovered. Taking valuable seals and birds to run multi-month experiments does not seem like it would make you a popular fellow. Best case scenario, you dis

I must be missing something. That sounds like encasing some rapidly rotting meat inside more rotting meat. A significantly less appealing turducken. It would take some strong convictions to turn multiple meals now (seal + bird) into a futur

I will take a rejection! Way better than the application going into a black hole. My favorite is when the company remembers to clear out its inbox, and you receive a rejection for a role you applied to some 10+ months ago.

How is this the first time I have heard this? Just golden wisdom that is broadly applicable to so much DIY.

Inclined to side with you. Prior to specialized gripping exercises, I would think the people with the strongest grips developed it from hard effort: lifting weights, rock climbing, trade work, etc.

Doesn't that mean we should stop growing crops in such regions?

For the performance boost it could offer the unsavy user stuck on a HDD, it was probably worth it to many. Gross to be the middleman, but it is what it is.

Don't forget the prerequisite bad audio mixing in the theater. Movies are boomingly loud followed by incomprehensible dialog. At least at home I can rewind or put on subtitles.

I love the name. Shocked I have not seen another utility use it previously. Is there any plan for moving individual lines between commits? I imagine it could be a tricky thing to gracefully surface, but my git based workflow makes heavy use

Is there something more granular than "File system access" or not? I would like for apps to have their own temp/cache and optionally access to common files. Having to do all or nothing significantly curtails the utility.

What's the best way to accomplish this on Linux? If there is a good mechanism, can you apply it to a currently running process or do you have to pre-define available resources? The only trick I have up my sleeve is to use earlyoom to a

Ah, so one with huge amounts of input from lobbyists. It is ridiculous that nutrition labels are not forced to standardize on something like x/100 grams (even Freedom units would be acceptable). Plus a x/package. None of this 3&#x

The average US customer in 2022 averaged 5.5 hours of power disruptions[0]. So somewhere between 3-4 9s. [0] https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61303

That does not seem right. A hot day in summer might be 35C->20C (95F->68F). Winter is going to be more like -10C->20C (15F->68F) twice the temperature gradient to overcome.

Immediately after posting this, I started wondering what is the composition of a kombucha. Turns out the fermentation process creates acetic acid, so basically the same thing (but at a nifty inflated price). Ergo, a bolus of vinegar, probab

by fbdab103 3y ago
No doubt, but an occasional bolus of vinegar seems less harsh than what many people routinely consume.

Vinegar has a similar pH to a Coke Cola. I would hazard a wild guess that the population drinks significantly more Coke than vinegar.

By far the biggest concern. I suppose if you dilute it into a liter it would be slightly less horrible to suck down.

How firm of footing is this program? If there is a change of leadership next year, will this be strangled in the crib?

QubesOS? I would love to know the answer, but I think it is going to be a long time before we have proper application sandboxing on Linux. The browser is likely the biggest threat vector running on my machine, yet there are no easy ways to
