If only it was simple rage bait. As a member of this thing we call "civilization" I can't help but wonder how the hell we got to this point. #rhetorical

Seems like an excellent startup opportunity? Build a clean, no-ads streaming stick with open source firmware upstream of the requisite DRM bits and who wouldn't buy one? Almost lik…

I believe the intent was thus: “Aye, that makes sense (not the [reauthorization of] slurs, but the explanation). Thanks.”

There are also image stabilized binoculars. I have an older Canon 10x30 that I absolutely love (enough to tolerate the plasticizer now breaking down on the rubberized exterior)

Oh how I drooled for that Astrocam 110.

Interesting. I recently admired the creative engineering of my neighbor’s dishwasher which simply, and quietly, projects a small status light on the floor. It’s a Bosch.

I agree with your point regarding local culture, but I'm not clear on the economic waste. An empty second home generates property tax revenue for the city/town in which it exists, …

What I wouldn't do to be done with (some of) "today's standards".

Wow this feels a bit Baader-Meinhoff. With Valetudo + self-emptying as motivation, I received my Z10 via Amazon / "Dreametech official store" just this past Friday. Happily, it arr…

Moreover, something rarely mentioned, multiple processes and pipes can give you some free parallelism courtesy of the scheduler.

Hear hear. You may enjoy “An Exaltation of Larks” by (the late) James Lipton of “Inside the Actor’s Studio”

When I was 13 or 14, I had befriended the Sysop of a regional BBS who was gracious enough to offer me (and my Father) a tour of his workplace “where they made the C64”. Feeling lik…

"Thank you" doesn't seem to suffice. Where might I donate?

There was even an add-on “dump cart” which could be towed and (IIRC) dumped programmatically via the 1/8” mini-plug that served as part of its hitch. Fun times!

You’d love the Bulwer-Lytton fiction contest.

The fun thing about the “use the force” quote is that it was a clue. If you could channel your inner Jedi, and the only shot you fired while in the trench was the one into the exha…

Note also it says “reports”, not complaints.

Is the physical volume of the average pill predominantly "active ingredient"? If not, why not just "print" a single pill per customer-dose comprised of the prescribed constituents?…

Or annoying, apparently. A good friend of mine’s father, having recently acquired a unix based POS system for his retail store, decided he’d prefer a nicer name than ‘root’. Appare…

What if man pages colorized (or greyscaled) oft-used vs. esoteric or less common options? Just having a common visual cue could both save time and reduce risk.

How about placing a clear date/time stamp on the chart?

So, more fundamental than UX, that the proper employee action for an “exercise” differs from that for a real threat doesn’t seem to be a proper test. Why not just have an administr…

reminds me my once time rather enjoyable error of "ls -l | moire" (with xscreensaver installed)
