Entirely unrelated, but I love that the actual album cover is a missing image on that article. They're talking about how iconic it is, and the image itself is the "broken image" icon - which is iconic in itself.

The temperature thing is just whichever you're more used to using. We almost never see 30F or 70F, so the idea that it's a natural fit is rather forced.

It's already not illegal to use them, as long as you use metric alongside them. I don't see the problem this is trying to solve.

This exactly. The goal of the brexit referendum was to catch the voters that were leaving the conservative party for the ukip party, and give them a reason to vote conservative again. It wasn't expected to pass, it wasn't expected

The nice trick with stones is that I don't care how much they are. They're nice and vague enough that it's like .. if I go from 10 stone to 11 stone, I need to care. If I go from 10 to 10.1 I don't need to care. I don&

I believe metallurgy played a big part in it too. It may actually be the improvement in canon during the age of the great european land laws that brought our steelworking to the place needed. It's amazing how many details needed culmi

That's pretty much where I'm at - my understanding of most of this hasn't moved since CP/M. CPU boots, PC sets to zero, starts reading instructions from ROM, optionally paging out the ROM if we really need to recover tha

This is developer documentation, it's for people who want the internals. For example, docker-desktop on arm-mac can run x86_64 images by leveraging binfmt-qemu within docker's VM. Changing that to use binfmt-rosetta should have h

I have a sibling who's "no fixed abode". Teaching him how to use 2fa isn't the problem. It's that all property is transient, so the 2nd-factor can't be tied to property. It doesn't matter if that's

I get the impression right now they're stuck at "damned if you do, damned if you don't". If you view the current supply shortage is a temporary issue (as much as it doesn't feel very temporary right now), then not b

RSS is pretty good for this, or works for me at least. The only minor annoyance is that when a title is edited, it shows up in the feed as a new duplicate.

Farnell is my nearest equivalent (in Ireland). Same "why doesn't everyone ship like this" experience, but more electrical than mechanical. I'm in the same boat as far as looking for a MMC equivalent (they refuse to ship

Well that sounds like a personally sensible concern on their part. I'm not sure going back to the office would be the end of the world for me, but I can see which way the wind's blowing - we're already in the process of downs

We've been looking at this. We're both in the EU, my partner is from a LCOL country, I'm from a HCOL country, we're both living in the latter. We've been looking at getting property in her homeland, with the goal t

I use 10gig for a dedicated link to a NAS. It drives me nuts that easily-accessible networking is so far behind storage speeds. SATA-I (2003) is faster than gigabit ethernet. SATA-II (2004) is faster than 2.5GigE. So why 2.5GigE on a lapt

Ironically, my strongest memory of 9/11 (from the UK) was watching the BBC and relaying blow-by-blow, over IRC, to friends in the US who were already in the office. It wasn't a connectivity issue from my memory, it was most major

It's not a wild reach - OBL was behind the 1998 embassy bombings (Kenya, Tanzania) and the 2000 attack on the USS Cole, making him pretty much the "badguy de jour" by 2001.

It's worth noting that the delivery often causes more problems than the content. Counter-opinions appear to last a lot longer if they frame it in a civilised discussion.

Not just QEII - Elizabeth was the longest reigning British monarch, but that record was previously held by Victoria. So the last 185 years were book-ended by two epic Queens, with a few short Kings between them. I mean obviously Queen feel

So I should point out unfair sample set - self-host me, myself and I, and no-one else. When I gave up on SES, I was getting annoyed by a commercial list that had no unsubscribe (it did, but went to a domain that didn't exist). So I ha

I block SES too. I couldn't find a reasonable way to report abuse, and the system does nothing to enforce opt-outs/unsubscribe. It's an absolutely horrible service to be on the receiving end of.

I keep finding these when I least expect it and they've been fantastic every time - it usually means whatever I'm trying to automate is 90% solved for me. Scraping recipes from the bbc, flight reservations from my email, etc. If

This doesn't really solve the root cause. It could just as easily be caused selling off a business unit where this isn't an option.

The GPD Pocket (1) which the commenter speaks of has a trackpoint. The GPD Micro (in the article) doesn't.

I actually find the prices somewhat reassuring. They're not trying to make their margins through dark patterns and upsells, they just ask for it up front. I can see how it'd start adding up with too many domains, but at my level

If you sort the wheat from the chaff, I think there's still a valid issue there. It's just being wrapped in divisive crap as is the trend. In Ireland we had a brief period where the difference between tax on personal and commerci
