Aha! I had interpreted it as a direct quote. That makes sense.

Where's the "we're still in control" bit?

That diff is a great lesson in Plain English. The version that looks ~50% longer provides no additional information.

Absolutely! It just sort of seemed to 'happen' here in Australia over the past ~10 years. It's always a bit surprising when this comes up that this isn't the norm elsewhere. I personally love the convenience, but admitte

At least they tried to spin it as security related. The word from most federal departments has been “hey, time to come back to the office because… that’s how it was before.” Compare to, for example, ACT Government, which announced months

The parent commenter's problem sounds like it's third-party plugins rather than Live itself. FL Studio also has a build for ARM, but it runs each non-ARM plugin in a wrapper which somehow uses an entire CPU core. After loading mor

Had a similarly frustrating experience trying to connect a new gaming PC to a LG Ultrafine 4K. The all-USB C aspect of the monitor was fine when I only used it with my Macbook, but made it terribly painful to use with anything else. In the

archive.is intentionally blocks Cloudflare DNS users. Off the top of my head I can’t recall why.

Looks like it’s US-only. I haven’t been able to find a service like this that supports Australian users, so looking for suggestions!

School zone signs around my area actually include a bit of genius design: they are hinged in the middle [1], so during school holidays, the signs are covered up by closing the hinge. [1] https://www.canberratimes.com.au/imag

I think this is very much car-dependent, and probably even user-configurable. For example, the cruise control on my 2021 Mazda 3 doesn't enforce school zone speed limits (or any speed limits), although it recognises them and will flash

It was pretty straightforward, following UTM's setup guide for Ubuntu, Docker's setup guide, and Mutagen's: - https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/ubuntu-20-04 - https://docs.docker.com/engine&

As others have pointed out, Virtualbox doesn't work on ARM (M1). A few months ago I switched to a new setup on my M1 Max: running a Ubuntu VM in UTM ( https://mac.getutm.app/ ), and installing Docker there. I use Mutagen

by tallytarik 5y ago
I’ve done something similar, although I ditched Docker at the macOS layer entirely and use Docker within my (Ubuntu) VM. I use Mutagen ( https://mutagen.io/ ) for syncing files between macOS and the VM. Works well. (And overa

Can you explain what you mean by “flushes out your body”?

by tallytarik 6y ago
Yikes. I have briefly thought about doing the same thing before, but I suspect the added company overhead would wipe out most or all of the advantage. Do you have any indication from these small businesses what the setup and compliance cost

Stripe still doesn’t support settling USD payments into a USD bank account on an Australian Stripe account, instead forcing their 2% currency conversion fee on top. So my fee for every subscription charge is increasing to a an even more rid

Absolutely agree with #1. I've had a similar experience - I run a business with Stripe, also in Australia. We charge in USD because we serve primarily US customers. I pay for the business expenses in USD. I've opened a US/USD

Nice! I built a World Cup IRC bot back in 2014 but couldn't find a reliable API. In the end I found the only way I could get realtime results was by streaming from the official Twitter page, as they posted live match updates in a (reas

This is already true - sort of. Not to the extent that one person can run 20,000 screens, but that also wouldn't be solved by this new LED screen. I'm the lead projectionist for our local 8-screen cinema but there are no times at

I'm not sure they were implying that the crime itself was committed across borders. My interpretation was that they are emphasising that the act of interfering with a TV broadcast is actually a crime around the world - something that m

Absolutely this. I got the email this morning and was left confused about the basic point - "do I pay any more for my current usage?" I'm glad that I now know the answer, but I would've been asking Stripe support if I ha

It's currently hosted on AWS, multi-instance in a single AZ. It has the ability to scale across zones easily, but my priority was to make sure I'm not hit with unreasonable costs for my small side project while it has 1 user. :) T

Hi HN! I've developed IPLocate.io, a super simple IP geolocation service to return data like country, city, timezone, etc. for IP addresses. It's free up to 1,500 requests per day, beyond which we have a couple of paid plans to ac
