WTF. This is unironically exactly what I need for work right now. Definitely looking into this!

...and you can only do that with education and contraception, since human nature makes people feel okay to break the rules so long as they aren't being watched. Punishing teenagers for doing teenage things has never worked out anywhere

Indeed, a leading cause of fatalities in general aviation is CFIT (controlled flight into terrain) often induced by a on-again-off-again pilot with very distanced hours. They fool themselves into thinking they are just as good as the pilot

The cohesive argument I've seen these platforms make isn't that this speech shouldn't be regulated, but that there should be legal rather than cherry-picked consequences for the instigators. Meaning: if someone is making deat

PWAs are blockaded from a ton of native functionality (push notifications etc.) on iOS. They are much more level with native apps on Android, but still lack access to many native features. The distinction is important if you believe you sho

Cherrypicking a few videos from a random YouTuber (Rossman has whatever credibility you choose to ascribe to him; at the end of the day he is just an independent repairman) also does nothing to tell the full story. Don't Genius Bars de

There is no ask. That they are even getting a migration period is very gracious of Amazon. When the decision to ban was made, Parler ceased being a customer and became a liability - one that AWS would presumably try to get rid of as fast as

All Internet comments do the same thing. I put your own reply through a character counter and got 470, roughly 2 tweets. Any transcript of an in person conversation would substantially dwarf all but the longest comments; even a minute of a

Might be interesting to see if this phenomenon applies to Model X and S, as they should theoretically be totally sealed to enable the Bioweapon Defense Mode.

For now. Acting as if there isn't incentive - bankrolled incentive - to escape these bans and establish places where these punishments don't exist is equally foolish. People with massive media followings have the power to single-h

I don't see why web apps should be handicapped compared to their native versions. If it was as easy to download, install, and run native apps, we would be having the same exact conversations in regards to security and portability. In f

This is something I found amazing about WeChat as well. You can schedule appointments with barbers, doctors, physicians, etc all through custom interfaces implemented by 3rd party vendors within the app. It's kind of like its own opera

There is no way Google is violating COPPA. It may be collecting a lot of data from students, but I doubt they are actively violating the law (or that their legal department would let them do so at the risk of losing almost all of their clou

Man, imagine being the guy called in to "inspect" that given what the loudspeaker was saying? And on Christmas Day no less, before the bomb squad shows up? Talk about drawing a short straw.

It also perfectly explains why this specific building at this specific location was chosen out of all of the other possibilities. Someone knew about this weakness.

Most places don't. Cron is great for hobbyists and personal use, nobody should be using it in production. There are far easier and safer ways to schedule recurring tasks.

Can we talk about how it's even possible for a save file to reach 8mb? Back in the day (way before my day!) a z80 could only address 65kb of RAM total. It was still possible to load and play an entire 2D game + save file given that spa

Not to mention things like e.g. livestreams ala Twitch, all it takes is one long stream at high resolution to take up your entire disk and then you can't archive anything else.

by nexuist 6y ago
Video files are massive, so it may just be the case that archiving videos takes so long they didn't want to support it.
