Email. But really, it shouldn't be on senders to care about how their messages are routed at all. USPS should be able to accept a message, digitally, addressed to a specific individual, and then route it either to an email address or a

I always love taking holiday oncall. Code freezes mean they're usually quiet, and we get paid for the full 12h (about 3x the oncall pay we would get on a normal weekday).

I'm curious what sort of response SLO your team had. My understanding was that the 5m and 30m response tiers always came with a multi-site "follow-the-sun" rotation.

Do you have an adblocker that's accidentally blocking the side-bar? I find it difficult to find a proper-noun search that doesn't include a side-bar link to Wikipedia.

Well yeah -- did you think it was somehow about consumer rights? Democrats and Republicans alike want to use the threat of regulation and anti-trust action to force social media companies to adopt moderation policies favorable to them. They

The manuals I refer to advise a bail-out under some conditions, even flying stateside. For example, this manual is for students training in the AT-6: https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth873939/m1&#x

Most USAAF WWII training manuals all tell pilots to bail out in preference to trying to glide to a landing at night or over rough terrain, because the odds of surviving a landing under those conditions are poor. Mind you, those planes stall

I don't see how this creates standing for end-users. AGPL expands the licensees' obligations, but only the copyright holder has standing to sue over violations of the license. This is analogous to a party that distributes GPL lice

It's the difference between iterated and one-time games. Shum has a decision to Publish or Not Publish (P or NP). CCP has the decision to Retaliate or Not Retaliate (R or NR). In a one-time game, Shun chooses P and CCP chooses NR, beca

Citi accidentally paid back lenders, rather than accidentally sending money to some unrelated party. This doesn't seem relevant.

Interestingly, both the postal clause and and letters of marque are hold-overs from the (very few) powers granted by the articles of confederation. Without the power to tax or impose tariffs, I wonder to what degree the postal monopoly was

In my case, I got accustomed to very rebase heavy workflows in git, and history rewriting in mercurial feels feels tacked on. With git, the repo is basically just a DAG plus refs, and once you understand that model, it mostly makes sense. h
