It probably depends on what you eat, where you shop, and how you store your food. I can't imagine it's easy to run a produce department and the whole produce supply chain. Often people pick food that's been sitting around for

You have a good point. I suspect if the manifesto was private on mastodon it would be pretty similar to email, but if it was a public post, like public twitter posts, the effect would be the same.

A big problem with anarchy is that it's really complicated and is usually either misunderstood by the proponent or the listeners. Anarchy is about levelling the playing field and reducing the power that the most powerful structures hav

"How are you?" is an idiom. Just like "what's up" isn't a question about what is currently in the sky. It's unfortunate, and I wish it didn't exist, but it does. It functions as a politeness marker, a

I don't think people are arguing that what Twitter is doing is legal or illegal, but whether it's morally good or bad, and whether it will promote a better society. These are understandably much less tangible problems.

I think the more relevant distinction here is that email is federated. Once Mailchimp has sent out the emails, there's not much it can do, and it would be pretty unreasonable to force Mailchimp to review filter all their emails. Twitte

Don't SVGs have to have an XML declaration? I think that magic will fail to identify the content type of an SVG if it's not a valid XML file.

People use significant digits colloquially, though with a lot less rigour. For example, If I say I'm 6 feet tall, people will probably guess that I'm between 5 ft 10 in and 6 ft 2 in. If I say I'm 5 ft 11 in, people will prob

I've never been a union member, or worked as a white collar worker at a unionized place, but I'm curious what you think the downside of unions are? I'd personally be quite in favor of the transparency that unions bring to thi

Ah, I see your point. I suspect that Swahili's "asidi deoxyribonucleic" is probably an English loan-word, but you're right that I don't know, since I haven't done any real research.

That's only relevant because you're including your whole thread (or part of it, if there's forks) in your email. As far as I know, there's no real reason for people to do this anymore. Email clients should be able to han

I've never talked to anyone who actually used accessibility tools. I'm aware of the W3C standards. Are there any other resources that developers can use to produce stuff that works well with real-world accessibility software?

Both Spanish and English have a fair bit of influence from Latin and from languages that were influenced by Latin. A better example would be what the word is in Swahili, or Mandarin.

I have no strong love for s-expressions, but objects and arrays are programming language constructs, not data format constructs. There's also no way in JSON to distinguish between an int and a float and a decimal type, but that's

My entirely vague understanding was that the Orthomolecular Medicine folk were semi-quacks (the same ones who brought us Vitamin C Megatherapy). I'm not terribly familiar with the field though, is there any real reason to be suspect of

I would imagine that most software would work perfectly fine with two values: * What do you want to be called? * (for some cases) What is your legal name? Trying to decide what level of formality and/or honorifics is appropriate in a s

It is, in the sense that it's easy to disable Google Analytics by disabling tracking in Firefox, and there's no consequences. If a website uses reCAPTCHA, and you have tracking disabled, the website will break.

My impression is that most non-pilots think that autopilot is a lot more sophisticated than it really is. People hear things like "planes can basically land themselves" which is sort-of-true, and they think the planes can actually
