One thing I have noticed is that Apple puts a lot more things in Accessibility, but they all are accessibility features when you think about them. (I especially noticed this with my Airpods Pro.) So instead of being the settings that peo

This is how Apache came into being (without so many hard feelings, maybe), though -- as (what we would now call) a fork, of NCSA httpd.

It's funny, I was also thinking about Mentour Pilot, both because of the whole discussion here, and because of the post upthread talking about clickbait. I love Mentour Pilot once I get into one of the videos, but looking at all the at

One one hand there were definitely support-staff system administrators, but on the other hand there were people writing USENIX papers. Large system administration was system engineering. The people who wrote Nagios, RRDtool, bcfg3 and cfeng

As a data point, the Toronto Public Library decided to take the "restore from scratch" approach after being hit by ransomware, and it took four months before books could be borrowed again. Now, I'd expect a library would mov

I noticed on the Death Valley Park website[1] that the lake has receded enough that you can no longer reach the water for paddling, which might make the experience a little less interesting but would also reduce the crowds. [1] https:&#x2F

I'm looking at the headlines of the author's other articles[1] for the WaPo and none of them strike me as climate activism, and surely the Post itself isn't activist. What makes you think that quoted line is climate activism

There's the zero-interest-rate era and the post-zero-interest-rate era. I think there's still going to be adjustments to come, and it will get a little better as orgs get more used to working in a PZIR environment, but I don'

For extra irony, get the fake info into Wikipedia long enough that someone uses it, and then use what they wrote as a source to put it into Wikipedia. (There's a WP: page about this problem that I think gives it a name, but I can'

Surely Neanderthals were named after Neandertal where they were first discovered, but Neandertal itself was named after Mr. Neander?

Atlas stones are the "standard" stones, but they're concrete spheres, not rubber-coated. Lifters use pine resin, "tacky", on their hands to make them easier to grab. Or less hard to grab, at least. (Note that the li

If it wasn't for Wikipedia then I would still be unsure. It feels like the kind of put-on that anyone in the know tries to maintain, like Morning... ... er, I mean, entirely unlike the classic London subway game, Mornington Crescent.

According to the example in the article, the damage from cut and cover also displaces the sidewalks (so that customers of a business have to reach the business via alleys) and causes evacuations and flooding. In the Roncesvalles neighbourho

One nice touch about BC's CRT is that neither side is allowed to be represented by lawyers without specific approval by the tribunal.

In the case at hand, it sounds like they decided they wouldn't spend over $800 to avoid losing another $800. Which is reasonable, I suppose. (But another constraint of the CRT is that you can't bring representation -- so while it

Yes, even then. It's a burden-and-benefit situation. The benefit is to the plumber, so the plumber should not trust the other party to take on the burden. (Or, put more simply, "who cares the most about it"?)
