Name me a case where it was crucial to advancing serious and healthy scientific discourse by comparing one of the researchers a molester. Why would that ever be necessary?

It’s a good use case and the one that got me started. I also have a raspberry pi acting as an exit node in my home which is useful when I’m at the coffee shop or in a hotel. Not ju…

I used to have the similar service on a 2016 Volvo station wagon. But the radio module in that car is 3G, and because carriers have been discontinuing 3G Volvo cannot provide their…

We're serving git over https using apache2, where apache handles authentication via LDAP. We also serve subversion repos with a similar setup. We use separate web services for sear…

“Being able to look someone in the eye instead of their navel” is a crude caricature of introversion. It’s exactly the sort of misconception that causes people to assume introversi…

For me it’s rarely software obsolescence that prompts the upgrade. My 2014 MacBook and iPhone 6 were retired due to the battery…

I use the Backblaze client on laptops and desktops, and B2 for NAS backups. No complaints.

Surprised to see nobody calling out ffmpeg as one of the most hostile UIs anywhere

You can also join the Meet in a browser, then under the option memu (...) is “Use a phone for audio”. In that user flow the meeting calls your phone and when you join your devices …

Tycho also works for me when I’m in that sort of mood.

“Since you know the tech intimately, you’ve probably got a solid deployment strategy that you can easily repeat and debug.” That’s not necessarily the case though. Just as easily I…

I say hi to people on San Francisco, but I don’t get discouraged if some don’t respond. There are all sorts of people with wildly divergent circumstances. I’m not or rushing to rea…

For those not familiar with the visual effects platform: https://vfxplatform.com/

With the recent tax law changes, though, I believe a majority of people end up taking the standard deduction because they can’t come up with enough itemized deductions to exceed th…

Strawman argument. Who is saying the goal is “zero deaths at all costs”? I see governors seriously weighing the costs and risks, and talking about the response when (not if) reopen…

No surprises there. Just yesterday, I saw someone comment online that a particular opinion article was poorly researched and written like an amateur. Where the author has a Pulitze…

Yeah, but the problem is those api responses are only 95% accurate... — TARS : [as Cooper repairs him] Settings. General settings. Security settings. TARS : Honesty, new setting: n…

I'd assume what makes alternate ports rare is the fact that the entire implementation is in elisp. So any alternate implementation has to start by finding (or implementing) a parse…

Considering mobile isn’t it “all but two”?

The ridiculous part is that the law existed prior to his acquiring the property. He could have (and arguably he should have) known his obligations ahead of time. Even if he didn’t …

I would say the fallacy is the author's assertion that studios don't know about realtime techniques, or that they aren't already applying motion capture and GPU renderers internall…

Obsolete editions of "Java: A Beginner's Guide"

I deal with that by keeping the separate logical commits, like you said, and I squash only the commits that don't add any historical meaning (like "fix a typo" or "forgot to update…

Git tracks the committer and the author separately: you should see the “who merged” preserved as the committer and the “who wrote it” as the author. If each commit notes the issue …

Suppose you have an open source or hobby project. The Free Edition has limitations that impact how you would write code -- it supports only the "peer" API and not the "client" API,…
