I dunno about US law but in the UK the law of legal tender requires you to accept payment of a debt in (exact) cash and if you've already eaten the food then a debt would certainly exist. This would not apply in a shop of course as the

That’s true but like I said, rightly or wrongly (and maybe I am wrong to dismiss it), I can’t be bothered with it. This is a nice way to write if you want to let off steam, or have an argument on a site like this, but if you’re trying to in

This reads like a rant from somebody with an axe to grind. Rightly or wrongly, I’m gonna ignore it for that reason.

Yep, it took them a very long time to admit that the GPU problems on my Core 2 Duo were a design problem.

> Deregulate construction, get rid of unions, prioritize developer rights over tenant or homeowner rights. That’s how you build slums. Which I think is what you’re proposing.

Looks great, but do peoples IT security policy’s actually let you use tools like this? Unofficial clients for things like Jira and Slack are basically banned for me. I can sorta see why, realistically I’m not gonna audit this and see if it’

Wow, they have X11 working on ECS / AGA i.e. the standard Amiga graphics which were state of the art at the time but unconventional by modern standards. That’s pretty awesome, I was expecting it to need an external graphics card. Sad

Im my experience most people that complain about free speech are, like the guy in the article, wanting to use it to be an asshole. As such, it’s hard to have much sympathy for them. I’m certainly not going to stand up for his right to share

This was actually a case study when I did my degree. Module was called ‘Software Failure and Risk’

That seems to be a common attitude in the UK and it’s not helpful. We should be building London level or better transport in the rest of the country, not wrecking Londons transport to bring it into line.

The Amiga had Amos and Blitz Basic, they were pretty good too. It’s not where I started, I had a Spectrum +2 first but I certainly learned a lot there before graduating to Matt Dillon’s DICE C compiler.

Phone number is an excellent tracking identifier across services. Even better than email, which is why the data hoarders want it.

Not enough to stop Intel from killing it. Had they been using it seriously at volume this would not have happened.

That was the promise of optane. Unfortunately nobody bought it.

I’m a big fan of the Turris Omnia. The author seems to write it off because he doesn’t like the UI, not because it’s insecure which is a bit odd to me.

This can be modelled as a regular graph simply by representing the hyper edge as another node with a set of edges. If those are labelled appropriately to differentiate them from regular nodes, it’s straightforward enough to represent it as

I’m now looking at whether you can get to Paris and Brussels within 5 hours from the village of Wendover in the UK. And yes, you can.

That was a deliberate attempt to make it impossible for competitors to read and write their format wasn’t it?

“I guarantee that every single person who liked and shared that post about bringing Instagram back to what it was, would spend way less time on Instagram if it reverted back to how it used to be” Sure, because they could get the information

Thank you, that actually made me laugh out loud. I’m getting funny looks now.

Until all manufacturers do this. And they will because it makes money.

Probably, but doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is a big improvement on doing the wrong thing.

Nah, keep the mirror. Then you can focus the light into the middle and you have a built-in incinerator for any dissidents / journalists who might pop up.

It’s an airtight capsule. The bear isn’t going to be interested in it until you open it. Also, bears don’t have can openers.

Fortunately it rained last night and the temperature dropped pretty quickly.
