I don't like the sound of `--wet-run`, but on more than one occasion I've written tools (and less frequently services) that default to `dry-run` and require `--no-dry-run` to actua…

I might be misremembering, but the initial core series (core 2 duo/quad) was still a bit behind AMD's Phenom line. Core was definitely better than the old netburst architecture, bu…

I'm not a physicist, but I believe that's the exact insight that led to special relativity. It goes something like: If your moving at 1,000kmh next to a jet moving at 1,100kmh then…

Sure, 4chan is a cesspool, but what if I start a replacement? How does the UK block it? Do we end up with an allowlist only internet?

Right? It's such a foreign form of intelligence to me. I think the paper "What is it like to be a bat" by Thomas Nagel made me realize that I can't even imagine what it's like to b…

The article is one sided, but still mentions that biking is up: > Despite this, there’s a noticeable rise in biking trips while pedestrian activity is dwindling as a portion of ove…

That's a good point, thanks for keeping me honest! Mine is not the Mac version. USB-C to charge it, but dongle is A now that you mention it. It stays plugged into the back of my mo…

My mouse and keyboard are both usb-c and I wasn't specifically looking for usb-c when I ordered either of them. Logitech MX Master 3 and Keychron Q1. They are both relatively high …

Less than an hour ago I set my backpack down on top of a usb-c cable plugged into the back seat usb-c port in my car. The cable broke at the plug, but the port is fine. I'm a littl…

Out of curiosity, what is your background? I really enjoyed Linear Algebra and often wish I had a job that was more math heavy.

I went to Texas Tech and made the pilgrimage to Ransom Canyon. I remember thinking it looked sorta like Majin Buu's house from DBZ. It's nice seeing that someone is doing something…

I have an Oly EM1.3. Pro-capture on a rental EM1.2 is what originally sold me the camera, but Live ND (image averaging) is probably my most used feature outside of standard apertur…

My dad is a commercial pilot for a different carrier. The tl;dr is there are typically a subset of pilots on-call at any given time. Pilots who aren't on-call won't be asked to giv…

> If you say that “basically everyone should never store plaintext passwords” then I will 100% agree with you but there are cases where the trade-off in usability can be worth it f…

I'm 29 and have never even heard of anyone doing this, but I grew in rural Texas so maybe we were just behind the times.

I'd be curious to know what all was actually impacted by the ransomware. It sounds like they shutdown all their services in order to assess the damage. Maybe this only affected the…

I agree that the mobile app shouldn't be broken with the server down, but I've got a FR 935 and can alter my watch face and set alarms through the watch. Watch Face 1. Hold down up…

I have no problem with 80 lines side by side with vscode taking up half of my 3440x1440 display (so 200px less wide than a single 1920 × 1440 display). Even with the extra space ta…

Exactly this. I work for a FAANG and live in Texas. If employees leaving the bay area could leave and maintain the same level of pay, I'd expect a bay area salary as well. With the…

ImageMagick supports HEIC to JPG conversion. It would take at most a few hours to hack together an interim solution.

I'm with you, but I think this post also highlights the need for protected land. I'd really hate to see any National Forest land go away because everyone who wants to live somewher…

I took linear algebra through a community college and had one of those rare, really awesome CC instructors. He had spent most of his career at Cray and later Raytheon and then semi…

Honestly, /g/ is no small part of why I ended up in tech. In 2011 I was a bored econ student spending my nights working programming problems posted to /g/, trying to get gentoo to …

I have an original pinebook and it would be usable for light computing tasks (note taking/light programming in vim, web browsing with FF + no script) if not for the awkward keyboar…
