Pret and Itsu (same founders) have been my default shops for many years because you simply don't have to think, walking in and out in under 2 minutes is absolutely to be expected, …

T+10 years I very much expect CloudFlare's core business to have expanded significantly. I remember that time my Googler friend told me they were about to release that one thing th…

Was worried about CF getting their claws dug into archive.org, but on reading, this is a decidedly non-evil deal, actually it sounds wonderful. Still, I worry if there might be som…

Perhaps I misunderstand the text in the README. Who is "we" in this case? Is the software writing its own README?

I know it's common and perhaps even fashionable, but FWIW language like "We take an opinionated stance" utterly puts me off caring about this package It's a piece of software, it h…

You might be pleased to notice Google Scholar is pretty much still the old design, such a breeze to use

42 links, a text box, vector logo, 20kb and that's generous Autocomplete function, dropdown menu JS, 10kb max Considering this page is viewed by millions, and doesn't even contain …

A cold cache google page load here pushes 725kb just to render a logo and search box. To avoid fingerprinting my cache is always cold. Google search is a huge dog

C-the-language has no concept of size-tagged arrays at runtime, and I guess it's baked in deeply due to the various guarantees made about sizeof(array), &array[0], and ability to c…

There's nothing of the spirit of the early hacker days in this repo, it's following GH's documentation and cutpasting some tunnelling instructions. I think it says more about the c…

This is actively encouraging people to abuse a free service that many people depend on. It's incredibly irresponsible to see it posted here. Stealing a worker for up to 6 hours lik…

Last week Elon demo'd a pig that made bleeping sounds when it sniffed stuff and claimed this would cure depression and about 100 other conditions. Tell me, given everyone else in t…

Would you withdraw your savings from a bank because the cashier didn't understand HTML 5? Why should we not assume operating a cash drawer is roughly equivalent to HTML 5 knowledge…

How do you feel about Elon?

You think he's a fraud simply because he bullshitted his way through some computer sales pitch? In a way, I have a ton of respect for people willing to even try this kind of thing …

IP addresses sharing a route have a common prefix. This is not true of MAC addresses. They are allocated essentially randomly. If you wanted to route solely using MAC addresses, ev…

NMS shares can trade on any exchange, but there is still a primary listing exchange. They're mainly (AIUI) responsible for publishing data on various administrative minutia such as…

A veritable steal at only $629.99, truly emphasizing the philosophy of the Raspberry Pi project. I'd seriously consider this in favour of my next real estate purchase
