On the other hand, in a colocated workspace it is infuriating when a high effort, carefully crafted email is met by recipients interrupting you at your desk with, "Hey, about that email, can you just quickly run through it with me now

Agreed. I've been using this for several versions already (mentioned by other commenters - dom.security.https_only_mode). Very few websites break, and they should know better (e.g. HTTPS redirects to HTTP, redirects to another HTTPS lo

Thank you. I do play against humans (I hope) but less than half the time. I too have noticed the blunders. What is the first level where you estimate it plays consistently?

A quick second endorsement for this absolute gem of a website: lichess.org. I've gone from a player who can't beat the computer on level 1 (estimated ELO 800 LOL) to winning 50% of matches on level 3 (est. ELO 1400). Still pretty

Why not just bake the cake tho bigot? But in seriousness, we've all heard this argument. What's interesting about this idea is that we're hearing leftists shill for corporations at levels previously thought impossible. The re

It is funny though. Debian builds a great product with an unpopular/impractical ideology (not a judgement). Ubuntu comes along, adds a little on top, throws out the ideological constraint, and achieves great market success! And Debian

Good question without an easy answer. I was a long-term Gentoo user but recently dumped it for NixOS. Colleagues were pushing it and so far I'm happy. Much less compiling and manual configuration which is what was driving me crazy abou

I also haven't used Debian since. No, we are not naive as to the presence of security related bugs elsewhere (e.g. Heartbleed). Just a lot of reputation was lost. It was interesting because the cause was a patch crafted to satisfy a st

Black coffee all the way my friend! I know it's easier said than done. I resisted for a long time, but finally took the plunge ;-) when doing a fasting diet that allowed only water and black coffee outside the eating window. Now it&#x2

Doing a 1-2 meal, 800 calorie/day diet for 8 weeks helped me to figure this out. The hard adjustment period was only for the first week. I then realized small and fewer meals was sufficient. Not that the remainder was easy, but it was

This reminds me of the Library of Congress in Snow Crash. Lots of speculative surveillance and hacked intelligence gets uploaded to The Library where it sits waiting for someone to search for it whereby the uploader earns commission.

I'm a fan of Randi up to a point. Some of his investigations were culturally relevant, such as Popoff's prayer cards. But also some of his work was decidedly low stakes, such as Uri Geller's spoon bending (though Geller escal

I'll take these as unsolicited strong recommendations for my next sci-fi novel reading, as I'm just finishing the Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space trilogy. Thank you!

Recommended 5 minute read unless you, like the author, spent most of your childhood skiing. It's clear writing style and unusual setting made it worthwhile for me. It's not sufficient only to consider the probability of a (binary)

I have done a TRE based diet twice, with success. The first time was Keto+OMAD, after reading Michael Mosley's Fast 800 book (which advocates a less restrictive diet but in the same vein). Result: -8 kg in 8 weeks. Also my weight was m

Good post but I don't understand the comparison. F1 is faster, we get it. The racing in MotoGP is so much better. I caught the start of F1 Mugello this year and I turned off after 7 laps of safety car. (Was the first real lap 11?) It

Down-votes should mean "this comment doesn't contribute in good faith," or "this is a distraction". How something could be well utilized, versus how it is utilized, may be two different things.

Late comment neither to agree nor disagree. Just want to add that Greta Thunberg is so obviously astroturfed, and just propaganda.

Completely agree. I was very slow to update XP, until both enough of a gap appeared, and Windows 7 established itself as the next high-usability Microsoft operating system. Even then my use of Windows was low. I now have no need for it at a

IIRC, calcium toxicity is serious, but only a consequence of sustained Vitamin D supplementation. Also there's some Joe Rogan-esque "just take the 5000 IU bro" even though 4000 is the recommended supplement upper bound. And d
