That's not the issue. If you release two changes at once and a bug appears, you look at those two changes. If you release ten changes at once and a bug appears, you have ten things to look into. In either case, you do a bugfix release,

In my experience, motorcycle insurance will be about a 20% the cost of car insurance, so it's still a lot cheaper. 70 mpg is also pretty nice.

As much as I think the solution is "get rid of cars" (or get rid of personal vehicle ownership), I do think reliable cars would make a huge difference for people struggling financially. Not having to worry about the most important

I'm curious what about your fears are driving your family crazy. Is it living well below your means, forgoing luxuries they'd like (and you can afford), or agonizing over every spending decision, or what? I've lived on <$2

Meanwhile, if I want to donate over $25,000 to charity in the US, I have to go into the bank (in person even during the pandemic) spend half an hour while they fill out forms, pay a $12 fee (still negligible, granted), and they'll proc

The APNIC post[0] backs this up, saying it's the "Intranet Redirect Detector". [1] has more details on how that system works (which is basically what you said, but slightly more in-depth). [0] https://blog.apnic.ne

That explains nothing whatsoever as to what's so special about the Regency period? As the article notes, it's nine years . Why not when George III was still in command? Why not during Victoria's reign?

It's pretty polarized in the US right now, so people will naturally lump people into the "pro-mask" camp and the "anti-mask" camp, and the latter is closely tied to a lot of anti-science views. It's an unfortun

Here are some things in the current system I'm hoping a single payer system would fix: * I walk in, and they can tell me right away whether I will be billed or not. There's no "we'll see" and then maybe I get a bill

Interesting point. I hadn't thought about that. Helps that access to my email is 2FA, but it does make for a single point of failure.

With an email link or a Yubikey it might, but with SMS or an Authenticator app it doesn't add any extra way for me to identify the site.

I love this. It's simple and clever. I hope you make some money. I'm reminded of the "I am Rich" iPhone app[0], but less offensive to the sensibilities. It's just a small art project where the performance art aspect

I've had quite a few Fitbits break, which is frustrating, but their redeeming quality is their willingness to replace over and over again. When it breaks, they generally offer a free replacement or the option to buy a newer version at

This is a bad analogy. The highway is heavily policed to combat those things, and they're nowhere near a central use-case. I'm sure it was a small minority of Parler's activity that was death threats or planning/encourag

That says that I can't arrange for delivery without approval to take orders and provide delivery. It doesn't imply that I need approval to take orders if I'm not providing delivery.

Sure would be nice if the law mentioned something about impersonating the restaurant rather than merely adding restrictions on who can be a courier.

That's an extra amount of work that keeps new, small players from entering the field. As with a lot of regulation, this is designed in a way that favors large incumbents.

I don't know how fast you walk, but at 75% those people are definitely in slow-motion. I could see maybe 90%, but 100% looks completely natural to me as far as their movements are concerned. (Personally, I want to see a jump at 90% to

I'll bet that if I saved the Mona Lisa, I'd get enough publicity that I could save hundreds of kittens by saying "If you'd like to thank me, please donate to the Humane Society" during an interview.

I've also wanted this on Postgres for years. If there's subset of rows you frequently want, you may just be able to define a view and use that. (At one point, I defined a text macro in my terminal to list the fields I usually want

That link shows higher support (for popular vote) from Democrats than Republicans in every data point on the graph: 2000, 2011, 2016, 2019, and 2020. Partisan support has not flipped in at least 20 years. What "flipped" is that it

Just did a quick check. Apple can buy GM AND Ford with cash, and still have nearly half their reserve left over. $191.83 billion cash on hand end of October[0], GM is 59B market cap[1], and Ford is $35B market cap. I guess there is a prem
