I’d argue it almost certainly is more cool :-)

I too might have followed a similar path if not for the fact I was already writing software professionally at the time. Your story definitely brought a smile to my face - thanks for sharing that!

Slightly unrelated but I feel worth mentioning Is the documentary “Tim’s Vermeer”. The subject attempts to reverse engineer Vermeer’s painting techniques and it’s a fascinating and entertaining ride!

If you are talking about real money loot crates/boxes/packages (as opposed to in game earned virtual currency) you are quite literally talking about gambling. In the case of some games, marketed directly to minors. I am about as f

Years ago I worked my way through some of the electrical schematics in the book “Code: the hidden language of computers” using a modded version of redbrick that added some basic support for cable bundles, junctions, a timing crystal, etc. s

Would this system be legal in professional competition cycling?

Wow - imagine the price of that space in an expensive urban center apartment like NYC

Also don’t take my word for it, but I remember reading that the viney/dangley kind are better than average for certain pollutants (and they just look really nice dangling from a ledge or window sill)

Some is definitely better than none for more reasons than just air scrubbing, but I believe one of the sibling comments stating “too many to be practical” is probably (and unfortunately) correct

I have an awair and I’m very happy with it. I have done some highly unscientific testing with it and it seems to definitely register spikes on all sensors when inundated with a given pollutant

Wow I wonder if anyone has done a study on any correlation between cabin CO2 levels and driver safety?

I can also recommend that talk and the Awair unit seems to live up to the praise. I know some might suspect shilling by DHH for this product, but given I owe the last 10 years of my career to him, when he speaks I listen a bit closer than n

That's the strawiest straw man ever in history and you know it. Yes, ideally cops would all be paragons of perfect virtue, but that is NOT REALITY and never has been and never will be so you have to do the pragmatic thing to stay safe
344.
by jtms 7y ago
Right, that's absolutely the ideal, but its not reality. Reality is that the safest thing to do is "yes sir, no sir" and comply and live - you only get one life

I am just being pragmatic. If she had just done what was asked instead of angrily protesting she would have gotten a traffic ticket which could have been fought in court and not have gone to jail and would still be alive

I'm not wrong though

Call me paranoid, but i'd be putting those devices into a heavy duty shredder if I got them back.

Most people are not baddies, but some are. True malevolence is quite real unfortunately.

Powering down if possible and then initiating a remote wipe for my supporting Apple devices (macbook, iphone) as soon as possible would be my very first move. It's possible they do have procedures in place to block connectivity to any

I never really considered this, but I believe you are right. I have travelled to dozens of different countries and the USA is the only one out of those to not have exit customs checks.

I thought for sure SteamOS and the various Steam Machine “consoles” would create a critical mass, but it seems to just be going considerably slower than I would have predicted. I’m hopeful, but I don’t see the economics adding up right now

I was in the gifted program when I was in elementary school and I don’t recommend it. It took a kid like me who was already prone to social isolation and isolated him further. I voluntarily left the program after 2 years and was playing cat

Caps lock remapped to esc is definitely a great solution - I have been using it for years

I am pretty surprised the price continues to rise with the never ending torrent of bad news regarding how nefarious FB is when it comes to privacy and exploiting their users. I guess this goes to show just how few people care at all about t

I’m dead serious when I say that no two large scale projects are done the same way. I have seen many and can tell you the possibilities are infinite how it gets approached
