I am statistically far more likely than others to face alcohol-related-health-problems. Also, through an accident of fate and genetics, diabetes. And a family history of pancreatic cancer means that I'll be sticking a gold star next to

Good for you, man. You're clearly doing what you want to do and living your life how you want to live it, and as far as I'm concerned that's worth more than any faux sage advice that is going to be offered over the Internet.

You say suffer, and you say pain tolerance, but really none of what I said is about suffering or pain. The beer I drink, tonight, isn't going to hurt me. The gin the next day isn't, by itself, the cause of any real harm. The cumul

I'm an alcoholic. I'm an alcoholic but I don't have a problem, and I don't see what it is about alcohol that would possibly cause people to think they're not problem alcoholics. I drink "too much", by whic

By using a different setting name for UIDs and usernames, or by prepending UIDs with a +, or... That's not the problem, though. The problem is that systemd encounters a username setting, and the workaround decided upon was that if you

Bugs are when software runs in a way other than the way the software is intended to run by the developer. If you define "usernames starting with numbers" as invalid, and then define the behaviour of unit files with a user directiv

Whoever was responsible for naming the service "w32time" and naming the command to manage the configuration of that service "w32tm" should be fired out of a cannon into the sun.

I'm also Australian, and cannot watch 720p60 on Twitch. 16mbps downstream over ADSL2+ in Melbourne. 720p60 is fine on YouTube. 1080p60 on YouTube will stutter depending on what my girlfriend is doing on the Internet, but is watchable i

Of course they do. Just like people still use vinyl, drive restored 1930s cars, collect antique furniture, and watch black-and-white silent films. There is a certain cachet to old technology.

Hilariously, one of the top three links is currently your own site, which fails to render properly. ( https://h-u.gs/Ky20B for reference.) That aside, this is a well-executed concept: It loads quickly, is fairly well laid ou

I was also very confused about this -- I am a heavy Uber user and was under the impression that I was paying a flagfall plus minutes & kilometers rate. There's a hint about my confusion in what I just said above: I'm from Aust

The tangible benefits, in 2017, for the "average workstation user" (if such a thing even exists) are vanishingly slim. The sole benefit is correcting random bitflips in memory. These bitflips don't occur often enough per byte

Uber's tipping scheme is extremely transparent: Don't tip. The "self employed contractors" who pick you up may have tipping schemes inconsistent with one another, though.

In Melbourne I have literally never had anyone at any cafe, food stall, or any other similar place ask me for a tip, and yet every single one of them have a tip jar. The tip jar is always filled with silver change, almost always a "rou

Hundreds of trips on Uber, in Australia -- There is no tip culture here. Out of those hundreds, I've had two ask for positive ratings, absolutely none ask for a tip. With drivers who have seemed friendly enough I've tried to polit

I would much rather carry a Switch and an iPad rather than something that amounts to an iPad with awful tacked on gaming controls, with the kind of games the iPad is known for. Multipurpose portable utility computing platforms are all well

The answer is the same as the reason x509 "works" at all. The CAs don't issue invalid certs because if they did, they wouldn't be trusted anymore. In terms of technical limitations, nothing stops any CA from issuing any

If this article were actually true, Apple wouldn't exist as the company it is today. Steve Jobs, while not a developer, was undoubtedly brilliant, and most definitely a jerk. It's unhelpful to pigeonhole people and then extrapolat

If you're drinking expensive alcohol just to get drunk, you're drinking wrong. Hell, if you're drinking alcohol just to get drunk, you have a problem. (And that problem is called alcoholism.) I spend hundreds of dollars a mon

I used to joke that the reason that Australian data-caps were so low is that they have to get all of the data over by boat. The way I see things is that having an Internet service that is in high demand is simply incentive for ISPs to peer

Yes. Australian Football is free to stream on certain LTE carriers, along with Netflix on Optus I get access to the ABC (national government-owned broadcaster) and Stan (an Australian streaming service much like Netflix, owned by Fairfax).

As an Australian, me too. Kinda. Except in the opposite direction: I've never had net neutrality, and I'm not sure I care. We've always had data-caps that would sound insane to those of you in the Americas or Europe, and we&#

I prefer Wiztree (link below), especially on systems with much larger disks. Since Wiztree works by scanning the MFT it's about an order of magnitude faster than Windirstat or Treesize. http://antibody-software.com/web&

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this that I think this is a cultural bias, not a 'racial' one. Anecdotally, the number of college-aged Asians you walk past in the street that are smoking is much higher than the number o

The last line by itself is a non-argument: Caffeine is also a pesticide, and about as dangerous in and of itself as nicotine is -- and yet no one is rallying around a cry to ban coffee. Assuming that e-cigarettes result in a lowered level o

There are venues like that: You need to buy tokens (from someone who will judge your sobriety, and at a maximum of five tokens at once) and you insert tokens for drinks. I've not seen it done with cocktails, however, only draught beer

Ah, excellent. I wasn't aware they'd added a timer to the channel reconnection. That's an elegant way of solving the problem without compromising the important part of the features.
