Thank you so much! I see on the Brix you're just using the stock antenna, which is encouraging given I have perennial issues with reception on other devices. Now to buy some gear...

Would you mind giving an overview of the hardware you use? Thanks.

Ironically, CRLite seems similar to the approach Apple was (is?) forcing for "content blocker" extensions to Safari--pre-supplying a canned declarative blacklist to Safari, instead of Safari allowing extensions algorithmic access

I noticed this, too. If you take 16,000 words/day multiplied by 26,280 days (72 years' worth of days), you get the 420.48 million in the text. If you take that number and multiply by 24, you get 10,091,520,000--close enough to 1

Right. While I understand why they use the term this way, it still feels semantically abusive given the math concept.

I'd like to comment on the name of this project, but fear my comment would be equivalent to an argument about semantics.

The article is paywalled. outline.com and archive.org do not seem to work; Google's cache returns 404. Are there any other such sites that work?

They are rights. Their rights. You have no rights. They can afford to buy legislation to ensure this. E.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Term_Extension_Act

Not just terminals and UNIX workstation keyboards--Apple's very first keyboard on the Apple II. (I don't think Apple shipped a keyboard with the Apple I.) Of course it helped that there was no lower case, obviating the need for

I have a landline for business reasons, and that thing gets a dozen robocalls a day. The telco's voicemail apparently has trouble understanding that two seconds of static followed by a hangup is not worth saving. The cell spam is relen

Your point that other filesystems get by without checksums stands, but Apple does not use ECC for all hardware. Also, we are left to wonder if their "reliable" SSDs are as reliable as checksums at the filesystem layer (or as rel

The interesting part about that to me is that they don't regard the fleecing-children part to be "giant harm." I.e., the court has records that are even more damaging to Facebook.

Aside: Although iTerm2 (on macOS) doesn't appear to work with this, iTerm2 actually supports full-color inline images, and has an "imgls" script which does something similar. (There's also "imgcat".) https:&#

I touched on geography in another comment, but another idea to show this data would be to normalize it somehow for region. E.g., divide salary by metro area median income.

It'd be interesting to see the top-paying tech companies outside of the Bay Area, not on the west coast, and not in the US. comp.fyi may have the underlying data but it's not sortable by location. One would need to download the

I'd speculate labor, testing, and other quality assurance cost more than the materials. The fairings have to handle ridiculous thermal and mechanical stresses, then have to separate reliably and cleanly before payload deployment. The

Hey, maybe SVN can host its source on GitHu--oh, wait. Seriously though, everyone loves GitHub now but it is a giant single point of failure, just like SourceForge was back in the day. Git is more resilient (local copies of history), but w

Absolutely. You can see Mozilla attribution in the Google URLs. (Unless you've modified your search engines--which Mozilla has made harder to modify.)

It's not a shitstorm until Facebook announces subsequent quarterlies with a material decrease in revenue. Then it will be a shitstorm. Until then any stock movement is just Wall Street.

It still feels a little like abuse of the (more common) mathematical usage of the term, but the same sort of abuse is ongoing with the term "serverless." These things have moved into developer vernacular, so there's no point
