I am guessing, for the same reason I can have a picknick in the local park with a few friends and discuss intimate matters. This takes place in public because that is convenient, b…

It wasn't like that when I visited a few years ago. We just booked a hotel, got on a plane and went there. I can't find this requirement on their COVID page either. Do you have a l…

Testing :)

You are advocating willful destruction of property. Property that is neither yours nor FTDI's. This is illegal, and broadly considered bad taste. A counterfeiter commiting crimes a…

The OS vendor could "destroy" you by making changes to the OS that affect your app, right? The Old New Thing[0] is full of stories of apps that exploited undocumented implementatio…

> Please just let me opt out of this cookie consent idiocy. This addon [1] will let you do just that. You can configure it to tell all sites to slurp as much of your data as they w…

I am quite turned off by the following passage near the top of this page: > bits of configs can't be reused. For example, while YAML, in theory, supports reusing/including bits of …

The #[non_exhaustive] feature makes me unreasonably happy. It is a problem I hadn't even realized might occur, and the solution is very elegant, forcing depending code to be suffic…

From a non-US perspective, I find it highly surprising that having children and wanting to care for them is framed as a deviant "personal choice" rather than something most humans …

I really don't get the time picker design that basically works as two long comboboxes side by side. Especially the minute picker requires far too much scrolling/swiping for what it…

Your entire first paragraph as written conveys that the situation can not be changed, and the victim must change themself. This, in my opinion, is fatalist. Please clarify what you…

> Yeah stuff like that happen, have and will, (...) good luck fighting that Fatalism like the kind you suggest adds nothing to the discussion, and indeed to the academic community.…

Let me pose this unfair question back at you. Are you willing to pay the price for providing an alternate means of sky observation at a scale suitable for astronomy, and for cleani…

I can't speak for where you live, but being a student is a full-time job here. And your last statement makes no sense. If you don't expect students to work after work , then don't …

It is a nitpick for sure, but I am still amazed that a machine like this, obviously designed to be the best and look (and cost) the part, comes with a measly 1 year warranty out of…

Not parent, but Javascript enables a lot of nasty business and often slows pages down on my not-so-fast work PC, so I disable it. If a website has a good reason to need it (e.g. ap…

I was once a "true beginner", having been forced to use basic terminal commands in school and having decided to get a raspberry pi and shove Raspbian on it for laughs. There is no …

I would have to disagree about (1). The right to be forgotten is quite important in preventing criminals from being punished twice (first by the law and then by random vigilantes).…

Not really a fair comparison. For editing config files I often have to go to man pages to find out what the syntax is for the things I want (and sometimes, where to find the file).…

That's.. staggering. Thanks for your reply.

Just curious - where I live, traffic going straight has priority over traffic turning or leaving the road in some way. So if the bike lane is to the right of the car lanes, the car…

Fwiw, I followed this course at my university[1]. The 'schedule' and 'setup' links provide an idea of what is treated, and the full book is available[2]. The full course took sligh…

I don't connect the "darkness" of the story to the app, no. I do agree that it is not a typical place to put a story like this, and I wonder how the friend feels about having what …

For my phone it is *#*#service#*#* then Service Settings in the menu.

It did actually, even longer ago[1]. I used Interix for a while, but it required (in my experience) an even greater love for yak shaving than most unices and was eventually scrappe…
