Read it anyway and agree that someone taking care of a task that requires technical understanding, but is in itself repetitive and time consuming is often a critical part of some business process. Many times I've witnessed such issues

I think you might mean there "was" an organ there! The thymus (the favourite organ of a friend of mine) is quite unusual, being replaced by regular boring fatty tissue after childhood.

For the Aussies out there, this will set your map to Sydney Harbour Bridge, and if you rotate the Ever Given you'll see it's a very handy fit. map.setView({lat: -33.85248, lng: -208.78863});

I occasionally use Google Pay on my phone (by way of a credit card added to the app), but I'm in Australia and have no idea if this story impacts me. In fact, I have no idea if the 'Google Pay' that I know and use is the same

I enjoyed this, but couldn't get the address bar to disappear on Firefox mobile. Perhaps that's ironic, but I feel like the devs of this have done a great job, and shouldn't be worked about multi browser support.

Just chiming in to say that Firefox location bar has some great filters [1] that might help you search history first (and other things). It doesn't do a full text search, but often helps me in a way I think you're after. If you ty

Not aware of the docker image in question, but a docker image starts empty (0 bytes). A full operating system (Ubuntu 20.04) base is is 75MB. You can probably slim that down a bit if you needed, but installing your software on top might onl

Somehow I have memories of the 1990s and audio visualisations coming back... Fantastic. I'd love to be able to plug this into mpv for playing audio files. I wonder how hard this would be (or how many resources it would use...). I reall

A few points you might want to consider: * youtube-dl is not just for Youtube (ie. google). It supports heaps of sites, and youtube is probably less likely to have the sort of content I'm referring to than twitter, pornhub, liveleak, w

In South Australia (one of the eight states/territories in Australia), they have just banned many single use plastics [1]. The rules are a little delayed - coming in next year instead of now because of COVID - and are staged to include

I wonder how this would interact with various consumer laws. In Australia, for example, there are standards that prevent ticket sellers for events from being deceptive about fees - adding costs beyond a reasonable amount required to provide

I'd just like to make a comment about human endeavour generally. It is a messy business, full of inefficiencies and strange quirks. Yet somehow, we still manage to invent amazing things across the planet. What you are describing is cer

Thanks for the excellent link. I enjoyed the site, and the fun little easter egg for removing the 'bugs'. I was browsing on a very low powered device, so some of it took quite some time to load.. just to emulate things that would

A quick test for "willingly" as you put it, is not due to force, fraud, or fear. I would think that a ransom situation would likely qualify as some type of duress. Deciding whether the criminal act is "theft" (ie. stolen
