Why is that? Vinyl has some unique characteristics. But as far as I’m aware, blu-ray is just a storage format for bits, so other than the box art, what is compelling about a blu-ra…

Following your lead, I haven’t researched Örebro’s proposed policies. But I would find it surprising if “large scale remigration” really was scoped to an everyman’s definition of “…

For me, it's quite straightforward. If an app makes an unsolicited spammy push, it's notifications-off. No exceptions.

What sorts of processing times are you seeing for I-130 green card applications? I filed for my wife in late July, and we've still not received anything but a receipt notice.

Apps (such as Signal) that care about end-to-end encryption do their own key management. So, Apple / Google servers only ever see ciphertext, and don't have access to the key mater…

It’s ironic seeing Gruber gripe about screen percentages used when his own website dedicates only about 50% of the screen width (on mobile) to content, and leaves the other half bl…

Of course, the relevant thing for us as a species is whether or not the forecast temperatures are sustainable for us. The planet as a whole will do just fine. We're not going to br…

> ”They will not persist across many generations though” Why not? Is there some tempering mechanism on epigenetic transfer? I could imagine that some sperm-conferred epigenetic mar…

Sure, but I am not one of them. I find myself wanting to code on trains and planes pretty often, and so local toolchains are always attractive for me.

Or if you want to do development work while offline.

Yeah I’d assume you’d eagerly load enough to make sure everything gets at least partially into the viewport, and maybe a fee more to optimize for network latency. And then perhaps …

Moving this sort of stuff out of JavaScript and arcane hacks allows the browser rendering engines to optimize these common patterns. This is sorta the opposite of syntactic sugar. …

Fermented mushroom sauce sounds so much better than ketchup! Tell me more. Does it still exist commercially?

When I moved to SF, someone told me that the three most important things you can do for earthquake safety are: - make sure nothing can fall on you when you're in bed (no mounted ar…
