I love the airplane/shell prompt thing in the new logo, though. Having never seen TinyPilot before this, I had no attachment to the chipmunk, and I agree that the change moved from hobbyist to business vibes.

I use the Proton theme with this custom CSS: https://gist.github.com/wlonkly/6c21134adbdeb6eb257f52076bc3... and it gives me a nice and minimalist UI consisting of just-dense-enough tab titles, with the current tab hig

I think Bathymetry is one of the layers on the map, which provides "topographical" lines in the ocean. I agree that the layer list used to compose the map ought to be separate from the map legend.

The Wikipedia HEPA article[1] says it's actually a reaction to people doing that -- some companies advertise "HEPA-type" or "HEPA-style", and so companies with actual HEPA filters market them as "True HEPA&quot

"Contra" means "against" or "in contrast to"[1]. The author has a position that is against Wirecutter's position. It is a Latin borrowing. [1] https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary&#x2

Because the point of publishing videos like this is for people to see them, and Youtube is where the audience is. Universities and academics have to compete for mindshare and reputation just like anyone else does. The outcome they are after

I find the framing of this to be a little disingenuous.. I would expect that after getting fired (or the contractor equivalent) that I wouldn't be eligible for re-hire, even on another team. Regardless of who is to blame (both of them,

I'm mildly surprised this is allowed by browsers, but I can't think of an easy way to prevent it, either. (That said, were I the tool author, once I found any hit, I would then scan the whole /24 that the hit was in. But then

Give Camera Live[1] a shot. Canon's own software doesn't support my ancient Rebel TSi so I have to use this one instead, but it's worked really well for me. It connects using Syphon so matching up architecture shouldn't

It's chalky, which I suppose is what you'd expect by adding calcium, but I don't want chalky orange juice.

One thing I miss from that era (or, at least, one thing I am thankful to experience) is that I got to learn how to _use_ Linux before I had to _administer_ Unix. I feel bad for "kids these days" who didn't get to find their w

And not just a cross-product outage, but a cross-product outage that includes acquisitions. I doubt there is that much in common between the JIRA/Confluence tenancy model and, say, Statuspage.

Not all customers are affected (sounds like a very small percentage are), but those affected have been unable to use their Jira, Confluence, and Opsgenie for several days.

There's three players: registry, registrar, and DNS host. The parts that affect your availability are the registry's nameservers and your DNS host. The registrar is the control plane for the registry -- if your registrar is unavai

Your registRAR's availability doesn't stop your domain from being present at the registRY, but _if_ your DNS provider becomes unavailable you'll be thankful that your registrar is able to change your NS records with the regis

One problem startups will run into with MarkMonitor and CSC is that they have a substantial minimum initial purchase. If you've got a domain portfolio, then that works out OK because you're just buying additional years on the doma

There is no particular group who are "the editors". You are "the editors". So am I, and I have no idea about this situation. That's why articles need publicly-accessible sources. Now, if there's something in

I also went to university in the 1990s, at McGill in Montreal, and we also had labs full of different architectures/vendors' workstations -- Sparc lab, Alpha lab, NeXT lab, RS6000 lab (with AIX), and a brand-new Linux lab, but tha
