   Re. orientation: the phone shouldn't be trying to determine landscape/portrait when flat; it should gracefully keep the previous state for at least a dozen degrees. On my 11 Pro it doesn't change until ~40 degrees of attitu

   Euh, it prevents a custom resolver sure, but hard-coded IPs bypass the need for DNS completely.

   I fear for the overton window sometimes.

   They could have had their own resolver before, or even hard coded IPs. Using software that doesn't respect you is the problem.

   Moderate brain dump (sorry). I'm writing some DSLs, including a DSL to implement config DSLs. I'm also pining over a new OS/shell environment, featuring a terminal where perhaps things like vertical line height isn't al

   I meant of the gore. There were a lot of uh, creative devices for killing lemmings. Never got bored of the game :)

   I didn't mean "no this is the one that's gonna stick", I meant "code written in this is explicitly designed to last a long time".

   When I was like 10 years old I did a commercial and bought a PSP with the money. One day my grandma offered to buy me a game, so I picked Lemmings off the shelf. She was very concerned whether it would be age appropriate, but I reassured he

    Rust is designed to be the language of the century. That's why it's named Rust.

    What do you mean? You want to leave a google property? I can't believe getting out of an amp page takes a copy paste on iOS.

    Clicking "Read More" on the cookie banner sends you to Google for "How to remove cookies." No, I want to set a cookie to tell y'all not to set tracking cookies and just limit it to strictly necessary ones. I can rem

    Thanks for being devil's advocate. I too think it's too risky, FWIW. I read a while ago there might be permanent damage as well, but maybe that was hocus. Edit: Business Insider reported HK doctors found some people have 20-30% re

    Thanks for bringing this up, I wouldn't have considered it.

    Which platform? It might also depend on the content, hmmm.

    Netflix is DRM'd anyway so it's a non-starter. Try taking a screenshot of a Netflix stream. Not many people realize it'll just result in black pixels for that area.

    I think this is far too cynical.

    By cautious I mean there are 100 confirmed cases in my country, yet everyone is already talking about it and few people are scoffing. Our cafés are mostly empty, which yes counts as being cautious, and yes it is literally how social distanc

    Yeah, I don't think this is an approach we could take because laymen would try it. But as a thought experiment I don't think this is mutually exclusive with flattening the curve. If you could guarantee a group of people would be p

    I'm in a remote part of Canada, everyone is very cautious in my town of ~20k, and I can work remotely. I'm taking extra precautions because I have asthma. 60-70% could be exposed in Germany, OK, over what time frame? I would give

    I think it's possible you remain contagious for more than a couple weeks (I read 6 way back when); the 14 day period is just to see if you have symptoms and need testing. As long as nobody is above 40(?), and there are no underlying co

    It saddens me moderately that cynicism is often the default; people sometimes think I'm being (rudely) sarcastic when I'm just being straightforwardly nice. I feel like cynicism/pessimism gets weird praise, too. The anthropol

    What I'm saying is don't bother with it; it will die on its own. You're the one bringing that discussion to life here; I only intended to comment on the CDC's response, I didn't intend to involve whatever the "

    I get info from WHO, just making it clear they're not my only source. If I had to choose just one, sure WHO is great. Nobody has the "real" numbers for China so it's moot. He's not a random guy; https://t
