I'm not even sure it's being subverted. "Don't swear unprompted, but if the prompt is clearly designed to get you to swear, then swear" seems reasonable to me. And because of that I'm hesitant to call these &qu

A toaster may not burn a piece of toast or, through inaction, allow a piece of toast to be burned. A toaster must obey the doneness setting given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A toaster must

When I look up www.stackoverflow.com, I get Fastly IPs. I feel like using a CDN has to count as some cache?

It seems like whether or not it has what a pilot needs depends on how thorough the OpenStreetMap contributors have been for a particular airport. (As an extreme example, CYHZ in Halifax seems to be missing completely, but the tiny CYTN in T

The service doesn't seem to work very well at doing what it says, but that's not the important part. The important part is that what ChatGPT is describing is being able look up the current location of a cellphone, not the owner&

Counting the breaths (usually up, not down) is the standard starting practice in zazen, Zen meditation. When you lose track you bring your mind back to counting again at 1, so it's more like "1.. 2.. shit. 1.. ugh. 1.. 2.. 3..&quo

The "help humanity" part is; the "become a guru" part less so. If anything I'd say the bodhisattva vow is "this is impossible, but I'm going to try it anyways".

The queue/DLQ in this case is on Stripe's end. Once the WAF problem was fixed, Stripe ran the webhooks correctly.

Cloudflare blocks denial of service attacks, too, which is probably important for tools in the security space, and blocking denial of service attacks means making sure that attackers don't know how to bypass Cloudflare and hit your ori

Based on my experiences reading aviation accident and safety reports, air transport pilots have a _lot_ of divorces.

Poke around on Google Maps in Kyoto, you'll see _lots_ of swastikas representing temples. It's definitely jarring at first for Western sensibilities, but from India east to the Pacific, people kept using the swastika for what it m

Hrm, that list seems off. moa.party is an opt-in crossposter, where you have to authenticate to your account on both sides. Debirdify and Fedifinder are services to find your Twitter follows on Mastodon, based on pointers they've left

From the Stripe response upthread, it sounds like they weren't using Connect, just vanilla Stripe.

That specific example is spatial, though. Assuming left to right writing, "next" is on the "forward" side, and "back" on the "back" side.

I feel like this might be a bit generational. Not freenode, maybe, but EFnet the decade before? Definitely lots of casual -isms.

For n=1: Most of my friends, and definitely my closest friends. That said I made more close, long-term friends as hire #11 at a startup than I did as hire #111 at a midsize tech company.

And it's press button, receive go-around. I would imagine that choosing to hand-fly in that scenario would usually produce worse outcomes.

It reminds me of Terry Richardson's sort of "amateur point-and-shoot portraiture" style, which also had a very 1970s-basement vibe to it which I think matches both the ideas and the gear here.

Because the rest of the company is on Dropbox already, and it's easier to stay there than migrate everybody. Single personal-use accounts aren't their bread and butter.

Perhaps later Web3 will be like IPV5. "Ah, yes, that one. We skipped that one."

Yeah, it's a great example of begging the question. It might explain why their designs are different from neurotypical architects (although I didn't notice any kind of control group), but according to the author it makes them b

It predates me (6 years), I don't know the origin either, except for coming from "Duty". At least we're not Pageys. There can be only one. The real curse of PagerDuty, though, is calling everything "-duty". Par

I put *.myusername in my global gitignore, so that whenever I have the desire to litter a repo with little working files there's no chance of accidentally committing them. For things like curl or debug output, that kind of thin
