    Uber is worldwide - I’ve used it on 4 continents. I actually signed up for it when in South Africa. Considering they sold their business to Grab, I think you could safely say Uber+…

    I've been thinking a lot about this one, and it gets a ton of help in the fact that Bill Hader is actually good at facial impressions, and that's what really sells it.

    you can gradually type (probably don't use --strict in that case). It might not be a ton of benefit if you aren't actually writing new code though. There's a good document on this:…

    For my fiancée, she deleted her facebook a long time ago, and she never paid attention to the username. We just made a best attempt at guessing the “user name”

    I'd like to see an MFA-version of Kerberos/kinit, and a PAM module that checks for ticket revocation on login. That's not so different from BeyondCorp and Uber's model. Alternative…

    There's some caveats there. If you are just running a web app, then this is the correct answer. If your business is in your database, you employ data analysts and want to gleam som…

    A workflow language is only as good as it’s engine. Nextflow was mentioned. I think what most people want is probably closer to Airflow, although it takes some time getting it up t…

    Sites hosted behind cloudflare have been down for me for 8 days now. It seems like there’s something up with TLS connections. As a user, there is no easy recourse. I had to create …

    Most my adult life I’ve used Ivory (usually bars), or Dr Bronners (liquid) with a handful of other things at random. The only wash I like besides those would be the Kiehl’s Musk wa…

    they could always admit their ratios are way off, fire everybody, and create 10 new backend job applications - 5 of which will go to men and 5 to women, so that way their hiring is…

    I can't really image 11 ppb is significant for glyphosate. That's below the historic 20 ppb threshold for lead . I'm not sure where the .1 ppb study comes from, it'd be interesting…
