"The exact cause of this breach is unclear but is most likely due to multiple factors, including interruptions in sterile fly production due to the COVID-19 pandemic and illegal ca…

Nice native ad for Waymo

I first got it in 2015 after playing Fallout 4 almost nonstop for the entire weekend. The game ran poorly and the low stuttery fps caused a massive migraine in my head. I took Tyle…

Meanwhile Sears is still thriving in Mexico under different ownership.

Unfortunately we use the proprietary HD Radio spec in the US. The company requires paying a license to use it and so many stations and manufacturers don't support it. I wish we use…

This was really fun to play with at VCF Midwest. It makes me curious to see it working with other vintage computers.

I'm glad that they kept the anime girl rather than replacing her with a sterile message. The Internet should be a fun place again.

McDonald's as well http://al.com/news/2023/12/fast-food-chains-use-alabama-pris...

I was hoping they would do more than just put ChatGPT into Bing. For instance, the question about travel should generate a result of suggested places that includes photos and links…

PHP 8 does exactly what he suggested and omits the token name: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected token "::" https://3v4l.org/2T8qQ

if time.hour == 12 && time.ampm == AM: return 0 elif time.hour == 12 && time.ampm == PM: return 12 elif time.ampm == PM: return time.hour+12 else: return time.hour

The vast majority of clocks in the US use 12 hour time. 24 hour time just isn't used here outside of limited applications (military, computing, etc). People generally aren't used t…

It's indecipherable to most people in the U.S. who refer to it as "military time".

A better strategy to me would've been to keep it free and tightly integrate it with Docker Hub to push people towards Docker Hub services. This software is already installed on mos…
