I interpreted it more like "I have these 500 different cronjobs all spread out across $unit_of_time. If the system is down for longer than $unit_of_time and then comes back, does a…

I think that might be the thing. Parents whose children are more challenging might more often "be at wits end" and turn to online communities for guidance, help, or other insights,…

Aren't they actually readline keystrokes, and emacs is "readline-aware"?

This could be an argument for investing in more reliable/higher capacity public transit systems though. Which would also likely result in a fair increase in public health from movi…

I don't know whether or not it is our instance at $dayjob that has a wonky setup, or if it is the elements client, or what (probably the client, as the problems all but disappear i…

The carriers can provide almost as good location data through just doing fairly simple calculations on timings and signal strengths received by the cell towers, and their implicit …

an evolution of the gpg web of trust could possibly be part of it

`uniq -c` introduces a "count" at the beginning of the line, so what we are then sorting is on frequency of the unique terms in the output, not sorting the unique terms again (whic…

There was also Anna Lindh, Sweden, 2003

Aha! I too have seen thumbnails of videos with context clues (product brands in the thumbnail which doesn't exist under that brand in my country) yet with a video title in my nativ…

I can't argue that you are wrong, but I can argue that, for myself, if I don't trust a developer to not screw me over with telemetry, I cannot trust the developer to not screw me o…

I read the gp to mean that error.log (being parsed to look for OOM) would have no associations with userSearches.log, in which an end-user searched for OOM

Aaaaaaand I replied to the wrong comment, mea culpa!

Chiming in as an end-user of software: please try to minimize the amount of times I need to re-learn the user interface you put in front of me.

And then there is teapot, previously mentioned in relation to sc-im https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29241136

If I'd try to describe/categorize it, I'd call it a local, ?most often? single-user, scriptable and plugginable wiki-software. I use it for taking notes, keeping a journal, TODO-li…

At various places of employment, /some/ meetings have absolutely been just so. Nothing of day-to-day value was ever communicated in those meetings, and nothing of value was lost wh…

> If a user really cares about changing the internals he can make his own operating system. Don't we already have that, and it's called... Linux?

So say we all.

Vaguely reminiscent of another Xkcd: https://xkcd.com/979

I just re-read the entire reasoning, and I got it all wrong I think. N%2 will only ever yield one of two inputs. In short, I shouldn't try to brain before the morning coffee ;D

> What we can do is replace the number N with the equation N % 2. That has only a finite number of inputs and leads to a valid table. Just so I'm understanding it correctly, it sho…

Apologies for not using a better source than wikipedia, but I could believe that the anecdotal woman was not such an outlier, when you take into account that whole "one child polic…

I am not yet done thinking on this area, so my thoughts here are incomplete, but thay said: Would this not also open the door for any snakeoil salesman to prey on what might be med…

Oh, this gives me flashbacks from Call of Duty: ?Advanced? Warfare (the one with Kevin Spacey as the plot antagonist). There was this one level, which begins with a cutscene and th…
