The law isn't ambiguous.

The FCC mainly regulates broadcast. CNN is cable. Also, there's a difference between a station being in more than 39% of households and being 39% of the total market. Other station…

There's a spot where you could just lift up the mower over the rocks to get from one side to the other. Or at least, that's how I would have done, but I have a tiny lawn and a reel…

But it recognizes the dog. Priorities.

It's the same company isn't it? So they share the unfortunateness.

Some years ago I had a similar situation--a claim letter from the IRS that didn't account for quarterly payments. I was able to resolve it by mail, sending copies of checks. Anothe…

When I was in college I took a class in modern poetry. The teacher showed us a film about Bukowski. Before the film, there was a trigger warning. "I must warn you," he said, "Charl…

I live in the Boston area, where academia, research, and the biotech industry bring in a lot of people and money. Visa restrictions, research funding cuts, mishegas at the FDA, CDC…

As a production editor at a uni press, who has to occasionally translate jargon into English, I find Orwell's essay to still be entirely relevant. The kinds of writing Orwell warne…

So robots: yes. Water: no.

There's some older stuff, but it seems kinda random. I see also two cameras in their collection (a Speed Graphic Pacemaker, and a Fuji GW690ii) that I have in my cabinet. I will re…

Get rid of cars and they'd take down all the lights.

Also "histrionics".

Or slowly boiling a human. The frog is actually smart enough to not fall for that.

They're not anywhere close to how bad the software business is.

Because software producers don't have to give a shit if their product actually works or solves a problem? Programmers moved fast, broke things, but didn't fix anything they broke.

Rich people are screwing over the slightly less rich, get out the silver pitchforks.

I guess they got over it.

AOL is still a thing?

Yes, but music notation is not simple text. Markdown was made for simple text. If you try to represent more complex text, it turns into Asciidoc or Rst.

Isn't that what LilyPond does, more or less?

Or even just using a plain old light meter. I use a Gossen Luna Pro (with 'spot' attachment) with my meterless cameras (which is most of them). It's reliable.
