Unfortunate that there's no stock except for the PoE variant. I wonder if it's because the G6 is (afaict) launching in Q4? I guess we'll just have to hold tight for now.

This is admittedly petty, but I'm getting tired of bad actors reappropriating nerd lore (LotR) for nefarious products.

Also a fan of go-flags, I use it by default most of the time (unless the use case is so basic that the stdlib flags usage would be sufficiently simple). I think my only real point …

I've had a similar experience as well. I had sort of hand waved it as being better due to tighter CarPlay integration (i.e. that there is usually, IME, higher-detail UX - which ost…

I'm not sure that there is that much forethought. Perhaps? However, you don't even need a honeypot - for example, Saddam Hussein's purge. (I'm not a political or historical scholar…

Genuine question: in your experience, does this increased focus on image create proportionate negativity in the form of e.g. increased peer comparison, superlatives (i.e. "I am/am …

I dunno, seems reasonable to me that we might have nice things without requiring everyone to use emacs. (And for those who do use emacs, I guess you're ahead of the curve?)

Fascinating that things only need to change when profits are at risk.

Unfortunately, most drivers I've observed in the US seem utterly confounded by roundabouts, particularly the yielding part. The roundabouts I've experienced - there are several whe…

As a lifelong and avid gamer, multiplayer games - in my experience, at least - typically trend toward highly toxic, abusive, sometimes degenerate behavior. Communities in which thi…

Have you used Chezmoi ( https://chezmoi.io ) before? I've been using that for a few years now; I'd be curious to understand how YADM compares.

I mean, yeah. It's still a them problem, because they can choose to engage or not engage in those practices while knowing the consequences. What are you going to do, never penalize…

Sounds like a "them problem". If it weren't punitive, it wouldn't be a deterrent.

That only works if the marketing campaign exclusively uses the number you're blocking. In some cases - for example, political SMS in the US - it turns into whack-a-mole unless you …

Mortality can be a tough thing to accept. But, if it helps, just know that it is always a spectrum - it is never binary - in that everything has an end (as far as we, and our physi…

Sorry, what? Is this hyperbole? That is tremendously disturbing if not. Even if it was presented for illustrative purposes, that is in extremely poor taste.

Unfortunately, benefit to society seems to very rarely be the goal anymore. Cynically, as time goes on, it feels more and more as though we exist to be maximally extracted from, ra…

Maybe a "conditional allowance" (noting that the conditions may be vague, and likely vary among products/companies) would be more in line with what's happening? Doesn't really roll…

Would you consider adding a "let me know when this is available in my area" notification signup (assuming you anticipate some delay between areas of availability)?

I think the point is that, while it may be empirically relevant to you, it is statistically irrelevant in general. The overwhelming number of families do not benefit from tech inco…

Strongly agree. The more that time goes on, the more that I feel like email is predominantly a combination of "automated account features" and "ambiguously-actionable spam". I'm su…

You're missing the point; the hyperbole is used to illustrate how "person of Domain A" and "person of Domain B" may not have even basic levels of overlap within a given domain.
