After I started riding a motorcycle, hearing this explanation started to get a serious eyebrow raise out of me. Not the explanation itself, but the thought process behind those who accept it. The last thing I want to do is just let my hel

My town recently moved from public waste management to a private waste management company and they have so many restrictions that people are just not recycling here anymore. Compared to before, this new company (which isn't even headqu

Is there something inherently wrong with sticker packs of animal characters or is this the standard internet conflation of furry content and characters (which would include cartoon characters you likely grew up watching) with specifically f

You can create arbitrary sticker packs all you want from within the Telegram client using one of Telegram's own bots (Stickers, similar to BotFather for creating bot accounts). I've made a few myself. Unless Telegram promotes them

A similar argument is commonly used with red light cameras: they remove the discretion of the officer, and can remove important context. Especially if they only capture a single frame.

Dentistry technology seems similar to battery technology in that these developments never seem to filter down out of the lab, ever. The only thing new that's been added to my dentist visits is that little graduated paperclip looking th

Wow, that link just loads a solid white page if you have JS disabled. It even scrolls, presumably, across the actual length of the content. Amazing.

There was also a risk, with things like mod_php and the like, that a user could hit your app in the middle of an upgrade. Commonly in those days (for many, not all), the app was tied rather tightly to the webserver. That is no longer the no

This is certainly a concern, but I'm not convinced it's all that rampant. You can't make much money if you 1) poison your customers, or 2) are a brand new seller (e.g. if you make a new account after every sale to avoid stack

It does have an alarm when it's about to avoid an obstacle (and it's actually a pretty cool noise, if you ask me), not sure why it wouldn't have one for this scenario as well.

Something similar, but worse, happened during that fairly-recent AWS outage, didn't it? Everything showing green because it defaults to green. Netflix's message doesn't update correctly unless I enable some extra scripts in

Currently stuck in this hell with a client, who needs a particular integration, but the company who wrote the program they need integration with refuses to give up any documentation. Soooo we're just winging it at the moment, because i

^x^y^ Is that third caret necessary? I've never had to include it. Although that may be zsh taking a shortcut on bash syntax.

> I just fire up the Arch installer When I switched to Linux full time, I basically replaced Ninite with a one line shell script and was done. It also removes any worry that Ninite might go sour in the future.

If we're counting third parties, what about chocolatey? It's not my favorite package manager around, but it does do the job.

When I was playing with Toki Pona, a surprising amount of people were incredibly resistant to it, sometimes to the point of being upset about it, for... some reason I could never figure out. Never got a straight answer. I found the whole th

It's always amusing to look back at failed predictions, even if they're tongue-in-cheek. Surely you're aware that comic was in jest. https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell_in_industry

That isn't too far from how Stallman browses the internet, I don't think. I know he does some weird, roundabout thing involving email (or used to, anyway).

At least you can hit the second button down on the right to mute it. There was a gas station that I used that had that annoying GSTV stuff going, but one day the machine refused to give me my receipt until the video stopped playing. Amusing

Kinda hate to say it because of the current level of hype making it always sound buzzwordy, but a blockchain or something similar could be legitimately useful here. The issue is getting government entities to agree to strict accountability.

I agree. After Github recently locked my private repos and demanded payment to unlock them, with no option to simply make them public instead, I'm 10,000% supportive of getting new (or, in this case, refreshed) competitors in that spac

Repos can be mirrored by just adding another origin, can't they? The others, though, yeah. Those are handy.

They did not use the phrase "pro-fat and cholesterol." That implies something entirely different than their actual wording, "not the problems we once thought they were."

There isn't necessarily no question. I went through a phase in high school where I was convinced I was very stupid. My parents certainly didn't talk to me that way, though.

I've found Cryptocompare to be unreliable and to often have outdated information. For example, it showed IOTA at 1 cent for a solid week after its first big rise.

Yes, and they don't, respectively. Comcast could simply choose not to use the public OAN and stay on their private (or "private") lines, for better or for worse. As for your third question: probably yes, heh.
