> I like the feeling of taking something that feels like a magical black box and systematically breaking it down to the point where it doesn't feel magical anymore. This is also a …

This isn’t unique to Netflix. The replays in syndication are also 16:9. As are the blu-ray releases. I finally bought the full series on DVD as I’d rather the original aspect ratio…

I do this with fastmail already. I have a domain that accepts email to *@domain.tld —- all the messages reach one inbox. All my online accounts have the form service-name@domain.tl…

The weirdness to me is judging whether the ideas expressed across this thread are altruistic or just garden variety envy. Maybe the answer is “both/and” depending on one’s perspect…

I don’t disagree. However, the principal objection to racism is not discrimination, but rather that on the basis of immutable characteristics. No one chooses their biological skin …

I think it’s simpler than that: wide age gaps in relationships are rare and thus call attention to themselves. That a culturally significant body of fiction exists to cast negative…

This is a fair point. Somewhat disagreeing with my previous comment: but I’ve definitely seen this effect between iMessage / Whatsapp vs SMS. I’m more likely to interact with peopl…

I don’t see how social media changes this. Life is filled with people who don’t reach out first. It’s not like instagram changes them. The number of direct, meaningful messages bet…

In my experience the hardest part of this is syncing the remote audio files. For T>30 minutes the drift can be substantial.

This became worse during COVID as many of the presenters work from home and aren’t as savvy with their momentary mute. Lots of swallowing, coughing, and nose whistling. Particularl…

This is especially notable with Peter Overby. Excellent journalist and presenter, though.

Hacks like this sound promising. Especially at T+30 days. But I wonder how well it will work across longer spans of time. Say at T+24 months? My experience is that these habits wor…

Perhaps if a sample could be collected when healthy and frozen for long-term storage. In my experience antibiotics were prescribed for acute symptoms that quickly worsened. I don't…

Yes! In 2019, the experimental medicine department at my local university hospital started scheduling FMT procedures. They're suspended now because of COVID-19 restrictions (much l…

I saw an emergency doctor for a bad upper-respiratory infection (coughing blood) and was prescribed Augmentin for 10 days. It abolished the lung issue but wiped out my gut bacteria…

It's great to see NASA livestreaming in similar quality/fashion to spacex. It reminds me of watching the NASA feeds on public television in the 90's but much more nicely produced.

May he rest as peacefully as he lived.

For a talented pick-pocket it’s not as hard as you think. Apollo Robins and David Blaine both remove watches from oblivious marks during their sleight of hand routines. Anecdotally…

I wonder how common is EchoLink among other newer protocols like C4FM? How hard is it to spin up a low-power repeater with this and save a few thousand dollars on a dedicated box? …

Excited to try this as a replacement for RapidWeaver.

Did you mean to post on a different thread?

What stack are you using? I did the same thing not long ago with Flask and Plotly.

Here's the disclaimer that appears below any post on Daring Fireball that links to Bloomberg. > Bloomberg, of course, is the publication that published “The Big Hack” in October 20…

Sounds like an excellent candidate for a browser extension or grease monkey script.
