Frisco is also a city in Texas, so named because it was on the path of a railroad headed to San Francisco.

Can you not achieve this in the build system using incremental builds plus disabling LTO plus specifying that some translation units shouldn’t be optimized?

> Elementary schools could also use a standard modular design, but every town would prefer to spend just a little extra for a custom design. My home town did at least build all elementary schools to the same design.

This is great. If you do want to read the original book, my advice is to read the first edition. The second edition adds a lot of fluff but nothing of substance.

One thing that really surprised me about London when I visited (and people told me that this was also true for the EU and so presumably Amsterdam), was that ebikes are limited to a top speed of 15mph before pedaling. If I heard correctly, i

I did some research recently on K-cups vs Nespresso pods. One thing I found was that none of the official Keurig machines heat water to the optimal temperature for brewing coffee (around 195-205 F). There are a few third party brewers that

I did some research to confirm my understanding and I did not find any way to do syndication across all podcast apps that did not use RSS. Wikipedia cites this source which says that podcasting developed originally out of a script that an i

A “podcast” is an audio show that is syndicated through RSS in a way that works with any podcast app. It’s an open vs closed ecosystem thing. (I’m not sure how I personally feel about this definition but it is definitely a common one)

I did! This definitely applied. I wish I could go into more detail about how without doxxing myself, but PowerPoint had a unique and very strange prominence in my college friend group.

As someone whose college girlfriend made a (much shorter) numerical chart about me before later dumping me, and even referenced it when explaining why, this hits home in a strange way.

I appreciate hearing about the modding scene for Civ V. My experience was growing up with Civ IV and great mods like the Rhyes and Fall mods, and Fall from Heaven, and Planetfall. I remember eagerly awaiting Civ V, buying it on release day,

I think that the GP has hit on something deeply true (distros are mutually compatible bundles of software which aren't guaranteed or even intended to work with your dev environment). I think it is also true that this is not usually a p

LBJ was an odd president. There’s his personal habits that are highlighted in the article, which were… strange. There’s his domestic policy, which was highly effective: he created medicare and medicaid, expanded civil rights, and caused the

Would it be viable to attach a GPS tracker to each container, to make recovery after something like this easier?

Fair point, that could be an option. I’ve heard in the past that the off-ramp from crypto to fiat could be unreliable at exchanges but I don’t know personally whether that is true, either in general or for Canadian customers.
