Considering this, was the tech and other media coverage of the "boycott" fair or accurate? Really looks like it was agenda-driven activism itself.

For a time, it was a really convenient thing, generally located right at the grocery store. It was easy to grab a movie and return it the next time. It was also pretty easy to copy things.

I have a project that makes heavy use of sed.. On macOS, I `brew install gnu-sed` and use `gsed` instead, so it works like other platforms.

I still have it, but almost everything else in life is fighting against letting me explore it.

Cooperative community editing, genius-style, would be perfect. Big events would lead to incredibly accurate transcripts.

The way I see it, it's not about you and me, but humanity. Humanity needs to step forth from Earth, to avoid future destruction. Until humanity is space-faring and multi-planetary, it is vulnerable to total erasure.

I think what you're considering inverted is your relative pitch/yaw/roll from the target. The target isn't <0.2 from 0, it's <0.2 from perfect alignment. Not having an indicator of translation speed is kinda

I remember back in 2005-2007, using AHK to make data entry way more efficient, at a few different companies. It's also great for macros in video games.

That's generally an unpopular and unwelcome opinion here, but I agree with you 100%. edit: and i'll happily take those downvotes, they are delicious thank you.

I really like Caddy and use it for general side projects. Super simple setup, handles all the LetsEncrypt certificates for me, can be running different apps on different paths.

No I think we're really missing each other somehow... Board members don't usually work at the company. They don't have Workplace accounts, or departments. The headline that this 'asserts control' is click-bait.

Sure, he gets input from all the board members, but he is unconstrained, he controls the majority of voting shares. The headline is not qualified.

Considering that he alone has the majority of the votes, I don't see how any of these board member departures change anything (nor does the linked text make any attempt at explaining this.)

Lowe's and Home Depot are open, Sherwin-Williams paint stores are open, the gun stores are open... People have different views on what is essential, to them , and nationally we don't have any agreement on what is and isn't e

They can have services and still respect social distancing just like the supermarkets. Let's not get crazy here with the authoritarianism.

The full quote does one extra thing, it implies that buying 100+ of these machines is totally expected.

The difference is that Parse ran on AWS. In my opinion, the real reason Facebook isn't in the cloud business, and why Parse was eventually shuttered, is that Facebook will never allow external code to run anywhere in their network.

My wife creates prints for our fabric printer, and the PSD files are often larger than 2GB, containing for example a 55" wide image that is 6+ yards long, at 150-300 dpi with a bunch of layers. Somehow her low-specced 2015 Macbook Pro

When we're 23 trillion in debt, maybe the government should be reducing funding for low chance of return research too..

Private sector: This is your time. The free market has been waiting for you. You don't need the government to do this.

It was a great scam, and I have no doubt it was totally intentional. They still made money. It was a placebo, and yet people would call in to the QVC show and talk about how much faster their computer is after installing it.

$2,000 from Syncronys and $2,000 from the attorneys fees (which totaled $35,000). That got me my first car, and a lesson... The attorneys always win.

I thought I was the first to file a class action lawsuit against the makers of this in December 1995, but now I see someone else filed about a month earlier. The "driver" files were just renamed Windows files. I was 16 years old

It immediately went from #1 to like #15 behind comments that obviously do not have a lot of votes. Take a guess why. HN fuckery afoot as usual.

This was the top comment by a long shot and is all of a sudden way down the bottom... hmmmmmm.

Rolling back worked for me, but the workaround is using the USB-C to HDMI dongle. (and I think I needed the dongle to downgrade.)
