Diamonds were never a luxury. They were a trinket, a shiny, that used to take hoardes of slave labor to extract out of the Earth's crust. Now we can grow them in a lab, and can be higher quality than the "natural" ones, for c

Pre-fab is illegal in a lot of places too. Pre-fab is for the poors! Houses in this neighborhood must be assembled on site by lumber by a team of expensive humans from raw lumber, not at a factory churned out by the hundreds, shipped on sit

I have a silly theory that I only half joke about that docker/containers wouldn't've ever taken off as fast as it did if it didn't solve the horrible python dependency hell so well. You know something is bad when fancy c

That interface is probably 640x480, so of course it’s truncating things. And I’m sorry, you really can’t fathom why someone who gets a ton of email would want to see more of them in their inbox at the same time?

I experience that but then I also experience the somewhat opposite effect, where randomly, spurred on by almost nothing at all, a memory of a dream that I knew that I had but had forgotten about, bubbles up out of nowhere. It's like so

Perhaps this pain would be worth it if we also cut back on non-essential tax-cuts for the rich. Instead, we're cutting cheap scraps like this from the budget while the fattest fucks at the table get to gorge themselves for another two

I'd call the first part utterly counter-productive and stupid. The fact that he just signed a bill utterly decimating the last important work done in this country also runs counter to the idea that he's doing fuck all about it. An

Note that this isn't too long after Apple abandoned efforts to bring ZFS into Mac OS X as a potential default filesystem. Patents were probably a good reason, given the Oracle buyout of Sun, but also a bit of "skating to where the

As far as "industrial" neighbors go, a datacenter is a pretty good one to have vs an abandoned husk vs an active polluter/nuisance, at least if that datacenter isn't run by a selfish psychopath that tacked on a bunch of

I was quite pleased with the iBoff 2TB SSD I got for my M4 Mini. It's sad how badly Apple has some of us conditioned with the pathetic amounts of storage they include. I haven't had a Mac with more than 512GB of storage, basically

If the goal is to optimize the singular task of "get water off hands ASAP", sure it probably solves that fairly well. There might be more to the task though. What affect does it have on the user? Getting splashed with water, usual

A good icon should telegraph to the user as soon and as swiftly as possible the identification and purpose of the app/folder/thing it represents. Photorealism is pretty good at that, since objects tend to look like themselves and
