Except with nix it doesn’t make it weird. If you delete iwd and something stops working, then you can just roll back to the previous generation of the nix store that included iwd.

Didn’t read the article, but why would you go work at a lower end job when you can make 80-90% of what you would make by just collecting unemployment benefits? I personally know at…

I've never understood why the government thinks that just because someone has died, they deserve 40+% of money that has already been taxed.

These statements are so true. When our company had billing issues with in-app purchases, there were plenty of times that we wanted to refund people for their purchases and we had n…

Also want to give you a big thank you for creating i3. After using it for a long time I can’t imagine going back to a setup without it. I almost always need 2 windows side by side …

Do you have a source for the 10% of young people needing ventilators?

This could easily be solved by something along the lines of “Version 3.0 maintains full compatibility with Version 2.2” at the top of their release notes. I dislike the idea of goi…

I disagree with you. When you “owned” a physical cd, you had to ability to sell it. When you own the digital version it is not possible to resell it.

Amazon really missed the boat when they came out with their crappy phone attempt. They could have invested more money and made some decent hardware instead of trying to do somethin…

Just wanted to thank you for this answer. I never knew about OpenSSH escape sequences and I've used ssh for years. https://pleiades.ucsc.edu/hyades/SSH_Escape_Sequences

This is really exciting to see! I had assumed that they would be launching most new instance types with only EBS storage so this is awesome that it looks like this will be coming t…

I had 35 HVM instances that didn’t have forced downtime. There are other reasons a machine could need to be brought out of service.

So this sounds like this Intel bug will not impact performance on HVM instances.

In your scenario, what happens if you need to change strong_master_password? I’m assuming you now need to change every password on every single site or else remember your new stron…

That’s interesting, my company in Chatt only pays $160/month for 270 Mbps and a static IP

Are there really people willing to pay $5,000 for a computer built in to a monitor? If you want to run 2 screens, then they won’t match.

RE: converting iTunes gift cards to Apple store cards. I’ve never heard of anyone being able to do this, iTunes gift cards can very easily be obtained for +20% off of face value an…

Have really enjoyed this the last couple years! Wish that this would open at a more reasonable time for the east coast folks.

Thanks! I must have missed that bit about us-east-1 only

Is this available today? I thought that's what I heard, but I'm not seeing anything in the AWS console.

Considering amazon is always available according to their status page, this shouldn’t be too hard to meet. For the record, I’m running in us-west-2 and have barely had any issues i…

The only thing that you have to do to satisfy this requirement is don’t hardcode IPv4 addresses in your app. If you are using domain names for everything then it doesn’t matter if …

It's amazing how well kids adapt when expectations are set and they know them. We used to let the kids watch an iPad in the car and there was always fighting because everyone wante…

Yes, it was Riot Games https://engineering.riotgames.com/news/fixing-internet-real-...

Assuming that this was a mental breakdown, what can we as a society do to help these people or prevent this from happening? I imagine that the consequences for this will be quite s…
