Our local theater finally figured out the right way to do this. Only the rear half of the theater can order food at their seats. If you're in the front half, you have to get your food in the lobby and bring it in yourself. This way, wh

Out of curiosity, how do you know the Jan 5th onward posts are a different person? To an outsider they all look like vague cold reading. I guess what I'm asking is what difference so you see between the two versions?

If you want to make it 4 times, the 25th Anniversary Deluxe version includes some unreleased demo versions and an interesting story about how the title track came together. It's on Google Play Music and probably the other streaming ser

This is the approach the British and several other governments took for finding a reliable way to find the longitude of a ship at sea [1]. Dava Sobel's Longitude is an interesting but quick read about the problem and John Harrison&#x

Would you agree that touch-typing is a useful (or even necessary) skill for a programmer? I'd say it is, because it allows you to type without having to interrupt your thoughts with the process of finding where each key is. For me, at

It's also not clear what is a link and what isn't until you mouse over it. Even then, the word "Latest" is in the same typeface and weight as the links, but isn't clickable.

For anyone really in to minesweeper, I want to recommend the Hexcells series of games, available on Steam. It's hexagonal minesweeper that gradually introduces new clues, and there is always enough information that you don't have

Sure, but it is also harder to be a whistleblower or to speak out against a powerful government or business when they have the power to retaliate against you.

There's a rewrite of pass in Go[1] (because of course there is) that advertises multi user password management as a feature. It uses the same on disk format as pass, so it's compatible with all the addons and browser plugins that

Right, the comment I replied to was saying that the issuer keeping a database and not doing any blockchain stuff had the risk that the database could disappear. The Hexel model doesn't seem to fix that. The issuer could still disappear

Your comment reminds me of this story told by Bill Moyers about LBJ: We were in Tennessee. During the motorcade, he spotted some ugly racial epithets scrawled on signs. Late that night in the hotel, when the local dignitaries had finished t

How would this be different than the person issuing your Hexel-based tokens disappearing? The value is still tied to the single issuer.
