I like that you say "maybe" about a janitor, because at some point a filthy office will break a product.

(that said, I am currently downloading this image, and I've had problems running x86-64 stuff in docker sometimes)

On my M1, --platform linux/amd64 seems to work (I think I needed to turn rosetta on for this for some other stuff, I don't recall.)

No sugary. Less food than a steak. Lame.

Having moved from the UK to the US, it makes me angry and disappointed that they don't use the paper/foil packaging here, so you can't do that :/

IRE's NICAR listserv and conference are the best place.

And also forced us to make videos that make us cringe :)

Also, that's mostly when you don't tell people "hey, can you not put your iPhones and Android mobile phones on the wireless?"

right, I'm not so sure that's because of DHCP, though.

for a 20-30 person hackday, it's not so much of a big problem. You wouldn't need more than a /24 for that, and you'd still be inside the * 8. But most tech events with more than 10…

one of the reasons to go high on IP addresses is because many devices don't release their leases properly, which can cause all sorts of havoc.

It's worth noting that these are approximations of zip code areas, rather than exact zip codes. http://www.census.gov/geo/ZCTA/zcta.html - for most reasons, it'll be good enough, t…

I can't say I've experienced anything like what you've talked about. What places in the UK and the US are you talking about/comparing ? My experiences have been in London, Bournemo…

Do you mean start a company, or build a product? As another UK expat in America, starting my first company here (and having run a company back home), the process for starting a com…

I use that all the time, but the only other person I've heard say it is the person I picked the habit up from.

When I first started using tilemill, I missed that you can create indexes for shapefiles. This turned a 12 hour render into a 15 minute render for my particular use case. The devse…

The "disappearing playlist" the parent refers to is a licensing issue, not a technical one, as far as I could tell. When I was in the UK (now in the US), whole artists catalogs wou…

Yes, there are, and I've found a bunch of them. I used to go to gangplank alot, but now I only get there about once or twice a month since I went from self-employment to normal emp…

This sums up why I've had so much culture shock moving from the UK to Phoenix. People don't get it when I say that selfishness is what really hurts me here, not the heat or any of …

I wonder how well this would work were it extended further into employment, too. A $3000 bonus to quit when you've worked somewhere for x years and are still in a job because of ha…

Making Our Democracy Work: A Judge's View

This smells like churnalism to me, particularly when you take into account the history of the author : http://www.cmswire.com/author/josette-rigsby/ (see 1. the PR notice and 2. th…

in my primary school classes, we were lucky enough to have one of the logo turtle robots. Special memories..

I use it occasionally. At first I thought it was a bit of a gimmick, but actually, it's quite nice. Posing for a picture is quite an expressive medium.
