Giving app developers bogus data would make it harder to use* and maintain, so that's a clear win, IMO. * use as in use for the intended business purposes, not harder to write the …

I've definitely run in to those types at meetups. They're there to ruin the event for everyone (although I'm sure they themselves have a good time). Thankfully it's possible to con…

Folks are sad that Hetzner, like most mainstream providers, has a policy against running crypto software and port scanners.

Contemporary identity politics are at least in part a response to the contemporary "occupy" movements, sure, and that's pretty much by definition.

"eBay gets away with selling random junk from random sellers, how can we get a piece?"

In my case my impact plummeted. Sometimes going in to management means having your hands tied -- you are the ones allowing higher ups to scale their impact. It was awful. I'd love …

You say trend like it is a recent phenomenon and not something that has been happening for centuries if not millennia.

Do you still have to go through interviews with clients? If so, how onerous are those?

If the authors of the article are right, being able to beam power through "inclement weather" could be a huge win on its own.

I wonder if there's some patent issue preventing them from using LiDAR and by extension preventing Musk from admitting its superiority.

You didn't include the laugh track and yet I still heard it.

Oh dang. Thanks, I didn't realize that.

Yup. I am glad we've moved on, at least on windows, to double-tapping left ctrl to highlight the cursor. It's a pleasant effect. macOS's shake-the-mouse gesture isn't as nice. It's…

I agree to disagree a lot, but it may not be obvious. I just stop replying. I suspect I'm not the only one. I guess I could reply and say "agree to disagree" but it sort of feels l…

I can't downvote yet (and will probably start over when I can[0]) but when I have in the past I reserved downvotes for comments made in bad faith (straw/steelmanning, etc). I will …

> There is a solution to this: going to jail for murder. Couldn't we find a solution that doesn't require the violent death of a person?

Amazon claims the excuse that their third-party sellers they rely on and contract with to provide goods to attract customers, but I'm not convinced it's valid (as you can probably …

Cockroachdb uses the BSL which means you can't host it as a service for others. It's more of a "source available" license (that eventually converts to Apache, after a few years).

What does homogeneity have to do with it?

7 day weeks is up there, too. I'm sure we could get used to 5 day weeks.

In my experience (from a few years ago) Mailgun had terrible deliverability to Microsoft and Yahoo. There would be long periods where those providers would return nothing but anti-…

Mainstream GOP darling Fox is also reporting this story, FWIW.

While we're at it, can we build a blockchain to store the votes already? It's 2022!
