I guess this explains why they wouldn't let me watch when I had the same thing done. It's not the sort of thing that bothers _me_, but they wouldn't have exactly screened for that ahead of time.

At least if it's Haskell's stack build tool, adding the language name to the query makes it pop right up. Not sure if this helps in your case though.

Me too. Though I wasn't missing it as such, until now.

I have a family history of colon cancer, so get them done periodically. The procedure isn't terrible, but the prep is worse. Pretty sure I need seat belts for the toilet for that day. Otherwise... meh. Beats dying.

Before I was diagnosed with asthma, I just knew that at some places (my mother in law's was common), I'd have poor breathing after a while. Just learned to relax through it, and the symptoms would lessen after I left. I go to get

I'm on a local fire department, and we've had this taught as one option to try and manage air use with the SCBA packs. I find it useful, but since I'm already conscious of breathing (with some slight effort to inhale), I tend

I think in your example, whichever use of silence is addressed to a specific audience. For the former, the idea (I think) is that if you don't consent to something, speak up to make a difference. In the latter, it's more that one

I'm also new, and picked ESP32 devices on recommendation of a colleague. I've had great fun, learning a ton to get going. Available libraries have certainly made the process much easier.

Thinkpads also have nice keyboards, so are hardly representative of laptops in general. And in line with the other commenters, my corporate HP and Dell laptop function keys aren't grouped. Fortunately, I interact with both through a ni

Oh wow, there's a blast from the past. I used the Amiga version, never realized there had been a Windows version in the interim.

Even programs that are _not_ done well, get replaced with infantile crap. My wife really likes Scrabble, in-person ideally, but on-line as well. The iOS app was something you could sign in to, or play as guest, but with login you could play

Interac (in Canada) is trivially simple to use, and quick. 1. Send the payment through your logged in session at the bank or credit union, or via their respective phone app. 2. Select the recipient, adding a new one if needed. They'll

That, and the service manual is online. Even when asking about a part that was no longer available from them, I received a message from them about what to look for on EBay.

Those are Robertson-bit screws, and are ubiquitous here in Canada. (Also a Canadian invention, don'tcha know.) https://www.robertsonscrew.com/ They work great with a power driver, such as you'd want for putting in

Sweet, didn't think of this as one of the potential upgrades. I just installed Manjaro ARM (64-bit) on mine yesterday, along with SBCL. Sure enough, :SB-THREAD is there! Thanks for the tip.

Nurse logs are awesome, and really highlight that circular nature of life. I'm on the BC coast, with a few acres of mostly-forest, and have some examples of these right in the yard. Even the stumps of much larger trees logged long ago,

While RSS doesn't replace a site like Reddit, it's great that Reddit has RSS support built-in. Much of my browsing of the site at least starts off in a feed reader, to make it quick to find what I'm interested in. From there,

Your compression workaround reminded me of an issue I ran into a while back. My team at work uses a reporting tool for vulnerability assessments and pen-tests; basically you can import a bunch of data files, review it in the web app, and ge

For BBSs, you're correct. Usenet (and email) used UUCP, which is actually much closer in concept I think here. UUCP is a store-and-forward mechanism, not dependent on a real-time connection to a particular server. I used to run a node,

For what it's worth, Pinboard also has an API that you can use to manage your data, including making backups. I use it for exactly that, especially since he's quite upfront (and funny) about how hooped everyone could be if he&#x27

What the parent posted is stating is that the local web server has that system-level access, which the browser doesn't need in order to access the app. The "back end" web server can be running on whatever language stack you l

Out of curiosity, how is reception different? Basically, I'm wondering if it would be worth adding an AIS receiver to the ADS-B that I'm feeding to a couple sites already. E.g., do you need line of sight? I'm a couple km from

I'm in BC, Canada, and I think it's all pay-first here. On the other hand, some places will accept debit cards at the pump, and it just pre-authorizes some set amount before permitting me to fill the tank. Of course, I'm only

Quite a few things are compostable in industrial scale municipal compost systems, where there are higher temperatures then the bin in the back yard. We compost food scraps to use in the garden, and it generally works great. What we found wa

That's a pretty long passphrase, so someone would have to have put it in the word list directly to ever guess something that long. Would be fun though.

Ugh, me too! My manager was a huge fan of Progress, such that it became the de facto tool of choice whether it fit or not. I was less of a fan, but just checking now, it still exists! I'm curious about this one blurb from their web sit

You know, the more I read about this sort of thing, the more I appreciate working for a company with a strong remote-friendly culture. It's not universal within the organization, but _very_ common in the tech groups I interact with. Al
