It reminds me of how video game companies sometimes create whole virtual file systems in gigabyte+ blobs to deal with the limits of OS file systems. They're probably less useful in 2021 with SSDs becoming the norm. With hard drives, th

Some places never stopped. Have a look at all the rails branching off into factories and warehouses here in Winder. https://www.google.com/maps/@33.993451,-83.7608816,484m/data... Pan west along the rail. A big ra

There was probably a way to bring this point up without alienating everyone. It is ghoulish if your framing is accurate, but now everyone's focused on you rather than the point.

No, thanks. I'm okay having a healthy balance of clear thought and normal human emotion. This has nothing to do with either. Why did you mention that? Quit derailing. The video is right next to the text. Now that I know there's te

It's never a good sign when a company sees competitors running laps around it and responds with something that will only accelerate migrations to those competitors. Someone somewhere in Intel told them this is the way to beat that upst

On windows: windows key + G. All operating systems come with one now, so I don't know who Dropbox is targeting here.

I usually assume an unrequested, auto-playing, rapid-moving video at the top of a page is one of those trashy video-as-hero-image things and scroll to get it away so I can actually pay attention to what's on the page.

Mostly people peaceably assembling to protest police violence. Sometimes they were just having a vigil, not even protesting. This was big news all through 2020, so the poster probably reasonably assumed it didn't need citation. Example

You mention Ko-fi and BMC in a list with Patreon. They are completely unlike Patreon since they also give you complete control. Ko-fi in particular is funded entirely on Gold subscriptions and the optional 5% platform fee, manages subscript

Just make sure you don't get a re-release from a made-for-streaming mix that will sound even worse on vinyl.

I emailed one of them 12 years and 4 months ago to ask how they paid for everything. This was back in 2009 when the internet was still small enough that companies would respond to random emails. They responded to say they had funding covere

The lack of preparation for the demand in licensing and training for those workers is part of the bad policy.

It does provide an interesting A/B opportunity. You have all these countries in one economic union, and one that was in it for a long time, and now there's an opportunity to compare the depth of crises. We're also having trou

How do you identify which courses/bootcamps are worth the time and a good fit if you don't already have skills that obviate the need for the training? It's a catch-22. Sifting through reviews is a skillset on its own, so that

I can't make sense of your comment. The only read I can come up with is that you're saying I'm not a person, and I doubt that's what you mean. What are you trying to say?

You responded to a sentence. There's a whole post there where I state how the advice is bad for people inside and outside the binary. /u/graycat's advice is bad for everyone .

What actual harm would come from a school being next to a liquor store or strip club? It's not like an elementary school kid is going to sneak in to the latter or buy anything from the former on a fake ID. The buses I had in school too

I think it's because coffee is counterintuitive. People assume a darker roast means stronger coffee (caffeine-wise) when it's the opposite.

I don't see the distinction. Zoning laws are NIMBYism encoded in policy.

Men tend to get dumped, mocked, or injured if they share their feelings, while women tend to get dumped or mocked if they share their knowledge and ideas. Isn't it handy that stereotypes align with the mechanisms that enforce them? It&

Edgy antisemitic[0] language (like "unJewgled"), along with transphobia, homophobia, and racism, was normal when I was an internet youth, too. Then I grew up. I don't think he's an internet youth unless I seriously misju

I think they take advantage of the usual gap between the quality of dedicated cameras and the quality of displays most people watch the videos on. Here in 2021 with a decent HD screen, the 7D side is plainly better. There's just no con

The 450mm equivalent of the long end of my 70-300 is just barely enough if the bird is nearby. 71mm is wider than the wide end (35mm equivalent) and far too wide for anything that'll run/fly away if I get close enough.
