That's why I continued talking about another service that I do use that is trying a similar move at a similar price point. The point is that the poster I was replying to believes that because they think it's good value at $12 pe

Interesting video where Clive looks at photos of the lighting at the Bored Ape party and believes he's tracked down the UV-C emitting lights.

Also, every 2 years post "I've neglected my blog for a long time, but that's about to change now!" ... and then another 2 year silence.

-(e)th was the Middle English ending for 3rd person singular and plural present tense. It has mostly been replaced by -s in Modern English, except for a few fixed expressions (e.g. my mum used to say "quoth he" which is subtly dif

This is kind of funny as the "normal" usage of the word (by which I mean non-engineer usage) would mean causing annoyance or resentment. That seems pretty apt for the current situation!

I suspect this will be a disaster. The article already hints at the reason why: "there's no indication yet that it has impacted Cronus or XIM accessories. Cronus and XIM accessories are controversial since they allow users to mimi

I've not even heard of any of these shows before, but certainly in that first clip in British English it'd be more normal to say "You ain't worth shit". > For sure. In my experience, in the U.S. that use is almos

Yeah, I kind of agree, but my issue is kind of with this statement (in the link from the peer post): > What if we could bootstrap our entire system from only this one hex0 assembler binary seed? We would only ever need to inspect these 5

Maybe in the US. I've never heard "You ain't shit" used that way myself. Could also be generational, I guess. And for the other one, I've heard "It's the shit" for good (although to me, that's de

Just had a read of this to see what it did... And I must admit, I don't understand what purpose this is supposed to serve. All it seems to do is convert hex into binary and dump it to a file. Not sure how that's any more useful th

Interesting. In the UK (or at least where I grew up), we wouldn't "not give a hoot", we would "not care a hoot".

The important thing about those other phrases is that they originated in the UK where we use understatement as a form of humour, but it's important to understand the relationship between the speaker and listener and hidden shared conte

It actually looks like a typo as the sentences reads much more logically as "It's not essential, but ... " FWIW I keep checking in on the Bullet Journal blog once a year or so to get some ideas, but I started keeping a varian

I get your point, but on the other hand if a pedestrian was crossing on their when the light turns green and the pedestrian was already clear of the lane, I think most human drivers would also proceed. I'm in a different country but, b

Given that I actually wrote "being driven over and dragged 20 feet" in my comment, what's your point exactly?

Reading this, it rather seems like the AV wasn't at fault in the accident itself and handled itself well. However, after coming to a complete stop, while the pedestrian was still on the ground in front of it, it then started again and

The issue isn't that email addresses are private information, it's that they are personally identifiable. [EDIT: to be clear, the following refers to the GP comment referring to in Europe , where as the parent comment is clearly

Nice tool for experimenting with a couple of hypothetical cases, like what if I save a bit more or spend a bit less. It was quite surprising how much delaying retirement by one extra year makes to the outcome! I noticed that it doesn't

In the UK, at least, an employee has to consent to any material change to the terms in the contract. Obviously, you don't have to sign anything to receive a payrise or bonus because the employee isn't going to turn it down (1), bu

I remember being amused when I discovered that all the servers in our server room at uni had their terminals downgraded from adm-3e terminals to adm-3 ones (the one with dip-switches). This was because someone had discovered that you could

Just quickly skimmed this, but it seems the conclusion is wrong: A job needs two attributes to define when it should be started: run_at and max_latency. That means the job worker only needs to order them by run_at + max_latency, and takes

This is nice, although I know very little Italian so I only listened to a couple of them. The only thing I could think to improve is a way of jumping from the text to the audio at that point, as after I'd listened through I wanted to h

I love how in the final shot he's even added googly eyes to a couple of the buttons. I was hoping that the sound would be generated by PWM from the tape motors, but the googly eyes more than make up for that not being the case!
