Note that they can claim to guess a location based on reasonable clues, but actually use EXIF data. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43732866 Maybe it's not what happened i…

That actually happened at my job a few years ago, where some extra power draw off a power supply that was also feeding a PC would slow down the code running there. It does sound cr…

> the problem that now reviewers have to figure out what changed That's something that the review tool can solve, and I agree that github doesn't handle it well. But other code rev…

Thanks for writing lnav, it's a fantastic tool. I constantly take advantage of the automatic benefits you mentioned, and also love the ability to navigate a log minute by minute, i…

Altitude is definitely a challenge, but I don't agree that peaks below 4000 m are amateur mountaineering and elite is reserved for 8000ers. As an example, Marc-André Leclerc made s…

My partner and I lost a good chunk of our clothes and lots of time to a cheap $300 mattress. The fiberglass in the firesock leaked, and the first symptom was a very itchy running t…

A very similar system is also common in small towns (population in the low hundreds or fewer) in Spain. Every few days a baker will come driving their van and selling bread, or a t…
