That Quartz article needs an editor who knows more about the 1990s, Silicon Valley, Stanford, DARPA, NSF, and how grants work. I say this with full knowledge (courtesy of Wikipedia) that the author is a former Director of the Office of Legi

This makes sense, but "area" self-hosting for friends & family is risky! For myriad reasons, but one critical issue is the persistence of other people's data. If your friend becomes unavailable for medical advice, you go

Oh come now, no one likes systemd! I kid. Sort of. Systemd is a great startup launcher -- maybe even an improvement over rc.d. Although I confess I've never had any issues with rc.d. Systemd can be quicker, which is nice, but 15 second

It is Linux-specific to some degree. There's a culture of documentation in BSD which exceeds Linux. There's a larger commercial/reputational market for a Linux book of course, but that attracts different writers, who are ofte

Exactly. I've seen goo.gl URLs in printed books. Obviously in old blog posts too. And in government websites. Nonprofit communications. Everywhere. Why break this?? Sure, deprecate the service. Add no new entries. This is a good idea

Looks like it, but it often is not. Affectation is one thing, but the behaviour you describe is as much cultural and contextual as it is affectation. Just like an accent. Very very much not worth thinking about too hard, except for its anth

I'm always happy to see organizations that are able to learn from their mistakes. But yeah, your reaction was also my first. I really dislike how much I worry about Mozilla. I'm not an anxious person, but Mozilla is so important a

Modern webservers are very, very fast on modern CPUs. I hear Google has some CPU infrastructure? I don't know if GCP has a free tier like AWS does, but 10kQPS is likely within the capability of a free EC2 instance running nginx with a

Configuring a static set of redirects would take a couple hours to set up, and literally zero maintenance forever. Amazon should volunteer a free-tier EC2 instance to help Google in their time of economic struggles.

This is precisely the point of the article. Macronutrient profiles are, apparently, not the relevant axis of differentiation.

Can you flash the PROM with just a clip on connector? (thereby avoiding desolder and most disassembly) I've done this successfully on HP Chromeboxes, but have not tried their other devices.

One huge challenge is in identifying and measuring the axes of appreciation. Asking "What do you like about X?" is a tough way to extract good data. People usually cannot explain why they like things. And it's legitimately di

This could be interpreted as psychedelic ego death from psilocin, backdooring into some kind of personal revelation. Or as clinical death from Amanita toxicity, with some meta commentary on religion. +1. :)

My guess: something is seriously borked in your profile. Easy to test. I have run Firefox on Linux for decades (and a few extensions, and metric gobs of tabs), with zero cases of the behaviour you describe.
