I was never a big 1980's synth music guy, but for some reason I always enjoyed the soundtracks Vangelis made. Not only for this movie, but also "Chariots of Fire", "Antarctica", &c.

When I was growing up, "Supper's ready" was a common phrase. I think it is more common in the Anglosphere. Of course, my family is of English extraction so that might be why.

Sorry not sorry, but Substack isn't going to run off Lineham because he thinks that people with a dick shouldn't be in a female locker room.

I want very badly to use RSS to read everything, and I still use RSS a lot. But I have to admit that email won the resiliency battle a long time ago.

Eh, I think you have a classification problem. Andrew Tate is far, far right and Linehan...this is the man who created "Father Ted"... is "right" just because he thinks men shouldn't use women's bathrooms and s

Heads up, in a lot of locations the city is doubled up (displayed twice). Otherwise, I like it a lot and I have it saved to my weather bookmarks.

This article is not very satisfying to read, because it doesn't explore the reasons why GoPro is on the ropes.

The reason why Roger Ebert or Gene Siskel's reviews had value is because they were real people with carefully considered and sometimes strongly-held opinions. That's never going to be true of the algo.

Ghost jobs are a real thing, and they create so much noise and make it harder to find the signal when job searching. Also, a lot of job search websites don't even have a category for "remote anywhere." When they say "rem

My fave keyboard is the IBM Model M SSK. I started out with the full sized Model M, but the keypad got to be a bit too much and as I was making several geographical moves as a young person, I wanted something that saved space on my desk. In

You can get them in all sorts of shapes and sizes Indeed. I mentioned Hind above. Charlie Hind makes soprano, alto, tenor, bass, and double ocarinas, made from rosewood, cocobola, and other woods. [I'm not affiliated at all; just a f

Ocarina? Immediate clickbait for me; one of my hobbies is playing obscure musical instruments. I have one of these, made of rosewood. Great if you're a little bit more serious about learning, and highly recommended (by me): https:&#x2

That 2002 Wired article is still behind a paywall. Shameful.

It is definitely a better fit because Stow was never intended to function as a manager for dotfiles under version control.

IANAL, and would like to believe that what you say is true, but I think in most jurisdictions "reasonable suspicion" that the vehicle was not street legal would float as justification for a stop.

Interestingly, shumai (or "siomai" if in the Philippines) is a type of traditional Cantonese meat dumpling from China made of ground pork.

I wrote a short post about this a while back: https://stoddart.github.io/development/tools/open-source/rev... This one is good, though, and very thorough—even though it's Mac-centric.

It's not "medical reasons"; it's overwhelming government bureaucracy in the UK. A friend of a friend broke his shoulder and collarbone over 14 months ago; he needs a new shoulder. He's been in a sling for over a yea

Talked to a German guy who was here on holiday recently. When I told him that in the US it's typical to get two weeks vacation when starting a new job, you should have seen his eyes bug out. It was hilarious.
