Crossing the street ... is also a study in how rules change. A distractible American(-Brazilian) arriving in the UK will have a few heart-stopping moments when they look left, and on the verge stepping into the street, take that precaution

Could also set up DNS server to return different IP addresses for same hostnames depending on the which interface the DNS client is connecting from. There'd only be one hostname per server, two (or more) IP addresses each mapped to ori

This is good news for Greensboro, NC and the NC Triad region. The Boom manufacturing/assembly will be done there (at least partially). HondaJet already manufactures there, and there are a number of other aerospace manufacturers in the

Those 2CV are very light. My family were passengers in a drive from Santiago to Valparaiso (Chile) in someone's American station-wagon when a 2CV tried to cross in front of us. We hit them and a passenger from that other vehicle got pi

Yeah I just noticed Amazon Drive is going away. No more uploads after 2023 January, no more access for non-photo/video files some time toward end of 2023. Years ago I got tired of the mess that was Google Picasa and transferred all pho

I'd like to try it some time. Here's an Azerbaijani man with a 16 minute YouTube video, no words, carving up a sturgeon, roasting it, and feeding his family. 22 MILLION views. https://youtu.be/hyu11H9ROQQ

I cut my teeth with Apple II GraFORTH in high school in 1981/1982, had a good time with a lot of audio/visual/animation stuff with that platform. A fellow student and I got paid for some demos we put together for some local g

I had a bad case of this in 1997/1998 for about two weeks, it was terrible. I didn't know the name, "hypnic jerks." Like a fool I didn't go to the doctor. I occasionally get those jerks while just on the verge of

Yeah. I almost think of Costco as a privatized utopian socialist mini-state. One should pay to be a good citizen. ... But then I've also thought it would be cool to build an app to help people organize trips to Costco from "food

This is the technical use of the word "cult": "a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object". As is "the cult of Diana" and not "the Branch Davidian or The Ch

And a big swath of the US population were barred from participating in those programs and so didn't get the benefit of relative inflation.

You can't run a system handling real money or real medical records in a debugger. Or if you are, you're violating a bunch compliance standards and will get sued into oblivion.

What does current price/share have to do with value of a stock option? The price/share is what I PAY to acquire the stock ... if I buy it at that strike price and it's valued at that price I have zero net gain. I've had

My father went to Brazil in the early 2000s several times over a few years and was astounded at how many PCs he saw in homes. Places with no utilities, refrigerators in the 1970s had PCs 25 years later.

A great language, I cut some of my programming teeth with GraFORTH on Apple II in 1982/1983 in high school. I wish I still had some of my old floppy disks. I did some floating-horizon for plotting f(x,y) and some basic animations. A

I think Atlassian lifted those restrictions for Sourcetree at some point. I remember having to sign up for Bitbucket, etc., at one point, but my last few installs (on different companies' work computers) haven't put up any such r

I stick to Atlassian Sourcetree git GUI for most git stuff. I drop down to git command-line for cherry-picking, squash-merging, updating a not-currently-checked-out branch, etc. Sourcetree works well with sub-repos. I use integrated kdif

Hmmm, my best guess is they're violating terms of use for the strap. Maybe the strap is a component of a system related to a competitor's product, and part of the licensing of that system stipulates no use for development of comp

It's probably just an attempt to twist Satoshi's organizing incentive into an existing economic axiom, should probably lead with "as if Satoshi had said ... <<...>>".
