Generally speaking, if you can't trust someone directly then the next best thing is consensus among others. Ideally, a connection only occurs in real life because one or more mutual acquaintances have decided they trust both parties in

My grandmother's website for her small business was purchased via GoDaddy. This was before those commercials even started airing. It's not a strawman at all. I am speaking from real experience, except for the part where my grandmo

I'm sure we all have fond memories of that time we sat our grandparents down when they wanted to make an anniversary site and explained to them how easy it was to run a simple server, after which they spun one up in a container and sec

Could you elaborate on what you mean when you say "rate encoded"? One aspect of consciousness that I think we will have a hard time nailing down is the nature of our perception of time and how it aids computation and awareness. Vo

That's not the right way to look at it. We can probably assume that roughly 20% of the players account for 80% of the PVP combat in the game. Those players frequently encounter PVP scenarios, while the ones who aren't looking for

I tried Fedora Silverblue [0] with the release of Fedora 29. It uses OSTree to manage state, and only allows mutability inside of the home directory and /var. Overall I was very impressed. Another year or two of rounding out the typica

Mobile will become as essential as internet in general has become to participate in larger society. I see it starting at the bottom. Tired of being tracked and trapped inside class barriers, the homeless and destitute will be the first to a

You're being a pedantic asshole, and yes apparently I did misread your quote about Microsoft, but the rest of this tl;dr post is so riddled with assumptions and insults that I no longer wish to entertain this conversation. Go work on y

I grew up in a town where the mayor was the bail bondsman. His son was the district prosecutor. A perfect, no-frills example of the typical dynamic between bail bondsmen and government. How strange that I received the maximum possible bail

The entire point of a corporation is arbitrating responsibility away from a company if one employee isn't doing the job they were paid for.

What does that have to do with the Beatles?

by kakarot 8y ago
The Beatles broke up a full ten years before John Lennon was shot. That only cemented their fame, it didn't do much to create it nor did it do anything for the band while they were active.

I would recommend Kevin Horsley's Unlimited Memory [0] over Foer's Moonwalking with Einstein . Foer is a lot of hype and unfocused, whereas Horsley almost immediately gets down to brass tacks after a brief introduction meant to

You can almost think of memory palaces more as maps or pointers than the data structures themselves. You're piggybacking off of existing neural connections in your memory circuits and placing new connections in between or at the ends,

It started out well but some of the things on there were a little petty. Surprised I didn't see a statement mentioning it was false and defamatory to claim that Assange has a small penis.

I didn't criticize anyone. It's a simple fact that most people don't take the time to sit down and understand the systems they use. I don't understand how recognizing that makes me arrogant. Recognizing there is a discon

Each instance of firefox has its own context. One is unsafe browsing, one is personal browsing, one is development-related browsing, a la Qubes. I used to have a problem with messy, unnavigable bookmarks so now I keep my bookmarks lean and

I have about 400-500 open tabs spread between three browsers on three systems which I'm using simultaneously. At least on my phone, Firefox Focus has helped immensely.

Before moving to Electron, Signal was a Chrome app. I'm not sure if it's still available as such, however. A way to generalize between the two from the development side would be nice.

Thank you for the tip. I still seem to get screen tearing with this option enabled, however.
