Are you Australian? For the confused people in the audience: There is a product, in Australia, much like ketchup, marketed as “tomato sauce”. Yes, people make pasta sauce with it. Yes, pasta sauce made from scratch is better. It’s not so di

It's worth pointing out that in my area of Melbourne the number of places available on any of the platforms is rising, but the platform that is increasing the quickest in my area is Menulog. Uber Eats just changed their delivery pric

Siri activates almost any time I say “are you serious?!”, which is a phrase I say with some regularity. I’ve definitely had it activated a number of times by the TV or when watching YouTube or Twitch.

It is not. Apple Maps in Melbourne, Australia is fantastic. I find their public transport directions better, and their driving directions on-par.

Having seen two bridge strikes at Monty happen live, both of which hit the warning gantry approaching the bridge prior to actually hitting it, I have very little faith that a Google Maps warning about bridge height would achieve anything.

I really do wish the title was correctly capitalised -- I was wondering if my Raspberry Pi was going to start beating like a heart and slowly drive me to insanity.

A similar but longer poem ("The Chaos") can be found here: http://ncf.idallen.com/TheChaosPRETTY.pdf This version has IPA included, in case anyone knows IPA better than English and wants to try to follow along.

I see this time and time again on Hacker News, and really don't understand why people seem to think that "pro" in any way equates to "developer" or to "someone who needs a lot of computing horsepower". &

My local supermarket — a Coles — doesn’t refrigerate their eggs. They’re on a steel shelf next to the bread. I’m slightly curious about how this whole egg washing and storage system works.

There are so many ways in which I feel this argument breaks down. * OG would absolutely handily win against any non-professionally-contracted dota team under the exact same challenge conditions. (i.e.: OpenAI Five's test was about as g

The game has an in-game clock, and there are regular "timed" events that take place throughout the game that are basically a hard cap on when you can realistically win the game. (i.e.: To earn gold & experience, you must kill

All x509 certificates have a “NotBeforeDate” value. It does help with trust: if you know there was a specific date on which there was a cutoff of a vendor producing a certain type of weak certificate, for example, you can choose only to tru

1000 seconds, I believe, is the max that ntpd will correct without manual intervention. It also usually corrects by slewing time, so that the time correction doesn’t upset timers so much. I believe it can take several weeks to correct for a

One of the most interesting things about the AS system, to my mind, comes from a case where a motorcyclist was fined for attaching a helmet cam -- AS1698 does not permit modification of helmets. (Whether or not attaching something via a sti

There is a legitimate term for this, by the way, and it is "p-zombie" or "philosophical zombie". It is an important concept in the philosophy of mind.

What you said is incorrect. Almost all DNS servers ever have an ability to set a DNS forwarder instead of using root hints.

Australia has (maybe? mostly?) figured this out with a subscription service called Kayo. It is $15 a month and contains basically every sport my friends who like sports watch. I'm looking forward to seeing it collapse into a pile of ga

On the other hand, if all of the services are “good enough” that they become the default option for every iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, that’s a very healthy user base from which to progress. That said, Apple service excel in certain ways: Ap

I see no reason this doesn’t work for Lon and Lond and London. It turns out that people in London, England have to type 2 more letters, a task that I am sure is not beyond them.

I think it's great that Wiktionary is a good resource for you! Hearing things like this only makes me with more that people could donate to individual projects and not the WMF at large.

by hug 8y ago
Granted, the etymology section on Wiktionary is useful (although I personally have a tendency to hit etymonline.com for etymology). I really didn't intend for this to come across as a broadside against all of the Wikimedia properties.

You may find my attitude unpleasant: What I find unpleasant is a large organisation deliberately deceiving users into thinking that the resource they consider valuable is underfunded, when really they are spending those donations on side sh
