That page is weirdly interesting to me. It's hosted on sites.google.com which was probably one of the worst ideas google ever had, security wise (yes mom, always make sure the page says Google.com - but not sites.google.com). It's

I'm not working but oncall. Fingers crossed. I always volunteer (I did a few years in a row) as usually it's quiet (no deployments, people understand it's a holiday) and it's a small price to pay to not feel bad for alwa

This is an interesting way of writing a quick and dirty script, completely different than I would have written it (I would have definitely have used a lot more subshells, temporary variables, escaped the characters in the commands, "#&

Yes, I agree, I don't think that $8B is a lot of money for the US, especially in the military context. I was just surprised at the number and shared some back story.

Completely unrelated to the thread, but I had to google this. This seems to be the source https://www.npr.org/2011/06/25/137414737/among-the-costs-of-... Reading the notes at the bottom, it seems like th

Yes. To be fair, I never tried it. But my broker (Morgan Stanley) allows you to select how you want to receive them, the default method is "sell to Cover" (sell just enough to pay taxes) but you can also select "Sell All Shar

Totally depends on the state. In Ireland you don't pay anything when the stocks are granted to you (you're promised X stocks in Y months), you pay income tax (PAYE) on them when they vest (you receive the stocks) and then you pay

I very much doubt they where talking about this, and where instead referring to their hosting costs.

Google could build a proprietary service on top of an AGPL Chromium. All they would have to do is either not accept external contributions (they already sponsor most if not all of the development anyway) or require contributions to sign a C

What they meant is having thumbnail instead of the icon, so that you can quickly see a preview of all the files instead of having to select them one by one. This article was somewhat recently shared and it explains the whole ordeal https:&

Shazam always blows my mind. It doesn't work 100% of the times, but when it does it feels like magic. On top of that they introduced (I don't know exactly when) the feature to see lyrics for the song which are automatically sync

I think I want to do the opposite of reading my mind to be honest. The default cell type is generic, so just assume everything is a string and don’t do any parsing. Maybe show a tooltip to quickly change the cell type if you detect somethin

I would expect it to leave my data alone unless told so. It’s one of the little things that drive me crazy with Excel the few times I use it, and every time I need to search how to make it behave because I don’t use it nearly enough to reme

This, really. While screen sizes have been getting bigger, the aspect ratio has been getting taller and the bezels/body of the phones has been getting smaller. While I agree that regardless of all of this modern phones are too big, you

As for the other comment, there is an artificial 2s delay between image loads. It might be to reduce the load on the server, or just to make it seems like it's doing more work than it is. A very hacky way to remove it (I'm sure th

I cannot reply for that person, but to me a certification would mean that you know a given subject, so I could ask more in-depth questions and expect better answers than the average candidate. Sometimes this is the case (and if so then gett

I just got my ESTA a week ago, there is a section where they ask for your social media aliases but it's optional and can be left empty. I did so and had no issues.

100%. Footpaths should be reserved for people. Parking (as someone pointed out), utility poles, charging points, even bike parking, etc should be put there only as an absolute last resort. Unfortunately this is almost never the case. Others

I also use Rectangle, the same developer also make https://hyperkey.app which works very well in tandem with it (you can also get the same features using Karabiner, but I like how polished and plug&play Hyperkey is)

Threads are probably a good idea, but as many people have pointed out I still have to find an app that have a good implementation of them. Most of my experience is with Slack so maybe Twist/Zulip are better at this. * I hate threads in

Tmux has support visual mode (at least character and line), I use it all the times. I don't remember if it's enabled by default, but I have this in my ~/.tmuxrc (where pbcopy is the excellent https://github.com&#x2

Personally, given the multi-day outage, I think I would just restore everything to a separate system, and then only point the affected customers to this new system. Take the hit of having two fully separated system initially, and work on re

Absolutely, some people will do that. I personally know some that will drive 500 meters rather than walking (even in Europe) or that will drive instead of taking public transportation even when the public transportation is faster and cheape

I think people just have a different definition of hard. I cancelled my Prime membership several times in the past (not using it too much, changing countries etc) and it’s definitely not a single button - the process is clearly done to have

I usually realised that DST is on/off a few days after it happens because people complain. Otherwise all my clocks just adjust themself, I wake up whenever my alarm clock ring and that’s it. I never understood the hate for it.

Sure, you ignore them and lock on a nearby pole. Those bike racks are useful if you're sitting outside drinking a coffee and just don't want to keep your bike upright, but completely useless if you need to leave your bike unattend

It’s cool that we can now root the latest firmwares, but the 50-hours limit for dev mode has an easy workaround. I’ve been meaning to blog about it, but basically use the webos sdk to ssh into the tv, get your tv session token stored in &#x
