I'm not American. But if my country had (or has) secret courts, I'd think they were evil too.

Like I said, you know you're the baddies when you have to use "secret courts."

For me, the dock is a drop target for files. Got a PNG and want to open it in Photoshop? Drag it to photoshop on the dock, for example.

Love it! How does it handle -20ºC in snow-covered Northern Canada? :-) Can I touch fake indoor grass?

Looks like it's been down since yesterday afternoon, with no end in sight.

Excellent! I remember running one of these servers on my 2Mb/s ADSL connection in small-town BC :-) It was one of my first "online communities" that connected a bunch of us around the world.

Open-net fish farming (as seen in British Columbia) always seemed a bit crazy to me. There are a lot of fish farms that are actually on land, and just get their water from the sea. Here's one in Praia de Mira, Portugal: https:/&

That's weird, the site loads fine for me (macOS with Safari). Is it supposed to redirect elsewhere if it's clicked on hacker news? Edit: I tried it on Firefox and Chrome, and it does indeed redirect to that ... image. But it doe

So simplified I couldn't figure out how to even login, let alone install it. I think if they're aiming for simplicity, start with the installer. And no, "read the instructions" isn't making it simpler.

Compared to Stack Overflow, I think the Discourse forum software is just as great (if not greater) Jeff Atwood-related tech contribution. Discourse has made it easy to create unique communities and avoid the social media algorithm hell. An

I run a few community groups using Discourse. It's great because there's a mode where you can make it into a type of listserv/forum hybrid. If people are more comfortable in e-mail, they can use that. If they want to use t

Now if only GOG could fix their Mac client so that you can actually quit it. Maybe someone at GOG will actually read this and let a project manager to let a programmer know to fix this. Because they keep doing everything else other than fi

I hate the idea of crosswalks at intersections. I know it's tradition, and why they exist. But wouldn't it make more sense to have crosswalks in between the intersections? ie: a few hundred feet away from where vehicles are inte

I don't how MUN is today, but in the early 90s, there were very few accommodations. It was an eye-opener for me when I got off the island, and experienced how far ahead the rest of Canada was with respect to accommodations, accessibil

Was Bloomberg reporting that "thousands of pagers and walkie talkies had been tampered to explode via a remote command" for a decade? Without any evidence? If Bloomberg had evidence of chips being tampered with, they could have p

Supermicro never happened. Zero evidence. The reporters and the paper (Bloomberg?) have never retracted it, which is a reflection of their crappy reporting. https://daringfireball.net/linked/2021/02/12/

They're using Mickey Mouse (or their version of him), as a mascot. Doesn't that mean it's about a trademark? The business in question literally has a mouse, named Mickey, that looks a lot like the trademark of Disney, on the

Yes, my family practices trickle-down iPhoneconomics. I get the new one every year, because it's a tax thing. I give my old one to my wife, and whichever kid has the oldest phone gets hers.
