Dammit. Of all the articles that need to be paywall restricted. I’m down. I’m sympathetic. But I can only afford to pay for content on a couple of fronts. I wish it was more. But I cannot right now. But if that was the article it looks like

I saw Lou Reed do this in 2003. It might have even been about cameras at that point and the issue was the flash, not audience experience. But he was not. Having. It. Stopped playing both times and really was about to walk off. It seemed a l

Same here, 2 seconds of "what does TV have to do with that" 10 seconds of "that's going to take 20 years to integrate those two networks..." and 4 seconds of "wait, would there be anti-trust issues" then I

I just tried to use chat on FreeBSD (helpfully mentioned in another comment) but it fails with "error unboxing chat message: KBFS client wasn't found" so they might be more tightly linked than you hope.

HAHAHAHAHA, it hurts. OpenStack. It needs maintenance. A lot. Maybe that's what you were after and I missed it, but OpenStack ONLY works if you have an in-house mechanic or 5. If you have less than an FTE to throw at ops, use ESX or qe

Without commenting on the implementation, I think this is the problem that WikiTribune looks to solve? I know I have a fuzzy logic in my head that ranks news sources. And I have since before the web, but possibly now we have the tools to do

Not the parent, but in my case - mild astigmatism - dailies are too big and floppy and don't stay put on my eye. 14 or 30 day are thicker and easier to put in. I use them rarely - just for skiing, and I end up using the 14 day ones onc

I am having trouble sending attachments in the Signal app - seems unlikely, but could this be related? [edit- looks like they do have a pretty heavy reliance on S3, per https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Server&#x

I think everyone got most of my reasons covered below, but here they are: no need to manage updates, smaller security surface, battery life, fan noise. I typically browse with Firefox Nightly, and without flash installed globally I get HTML

They did roll out a mesh network here in Seattle. The problem was that it was police only, and scared everyone. I think they mothballed it till we all forget. I found the controversy mildly funny as the public got up to speed on how WIFI wo
