This is why piracy is nearly always the best option. Want to play the original Tomb Raider? Well it's for sale, in many stores, and for many platforms. Trouble is they're all glitchy. Meanwhile, download a PS1 emulator and the ISO

To be fair, he's talking this context in particular. I wouldn't be anywhere near as harsh, but would definitely frown on somebody replying to a legal contract with a thumbs up to mean "I accept". If it were the other par

That wouldn't be my interpretation, and is exactly why lawyers get you to state things in full sentences.

"just like he had done before except this time he used a thumbs-up emoji" Surely the "_except_ this time he used a thumbs-up emoji" means he did _not_ use the thumbs up to mean acceptance before?

I believe his point was that if one were to try and emulate Norway's economic model, it would come packaged with exporting massive amounts of oil for the rest of the world to burn — because that is currently how their economy works.

Yes, I was one of those people :) I don't feel it was the same though. The best way I can describe the difference is in terms of control. Back then, I was in control, even if I was vegged out in front of the T.V. Now if I'm online

Good on you for putting in effort to make it fun, but I wouldn't. There's nothing wrong with students struggling to understand something they don't find fun. Either they want to learn it, or they don't. What are they eve

> But not when you force to be bored by someone else. You are bored in a prison, you are bored during doing repetitive work, is it good for you too? Arguably, yes. You learn to deal with discomfort, which is good for your mental health.

It's difficult to explain how the world was before 2007. Yes, yes, some of this is cranky old man shouts at cloud, but some of it is more objective. Being bored was okay. It was part of life, and good for you. It not only got you to pu

It does, and lists it again when you install the extension :) What I was getting at was that there are so many developers that just put in "*" out of laziness, when their extension might need access to only a handful of domains, o

The reverse of this would be even more useful to me, i.e. a list where the extension _is_ allowed. So many developers hit the "ALL THE THINGS" button out of laziness.

It makes generating from templates in certain (many!) instances needlessly difficult. I say needlessly, because the rule is seemingly arbitrary. I can't see what purpose it serves.

Right? I was reading the article and did a double take when he described the choices being either aspartame, or sugar. I think it's an American thing though. When I've been over there, everything was so sickeningly sweet.

It's very different. Even if I gave you my master password, you wouldn't be able to get into my account. The password manager I use has MFA (and I don't mean 2FA).

Probabilistic, to a staggeringly high certainty. I used to think "meh, how accurate could all that possibly be?". I now know it's close enough to 100% for the false positives to be negligible.

You are too old to fall for bullshit. The argument is that dark mode is needed to tackle the problem of blue light messing with your melatonin. However, this has not only never been proven, there are studies to the contrary: https:/&#

Yup. I unsubscribe from the blacked out subs (they free to go dark, but I'm equally free to leave when they do), and sign up to the new or less popular ones that are still working. I have no skin in the game, and couldn't care les

Right? I had a lot of fun learning K8s for a client. Every new thing I learnt made me think it was even cooler. Then the first maintenance came. _"Not worth it"_ doesn't even begin to cover it. If you have both: a) Well desig

This is likely merely cultural misunderstanding. I've noticed that when Americans come here to the Netherlands, they take offence at the things that natives don't. Dutch people don't take offence at those things because there

Translation to a real world scenario: I go to an open mic night, do a set, start getting popular. One day the club owner decides he's not going to do stamp re-entries, and everyone has to pay to get back in if they leave the club. I ge
