We say "are bears Catholic?" when in more polite company and we can't get away with asking if the Pope shits in the woods :)

Adding on and being specific: AMC in the GSP mall in Paramus, NJ. Assigned seating for sure.

That was my thought when watching the video. The robot is the size of a room if you count all the cameras. It's like the pitch-o-matic 5000 from Futurama.

I may have missed it, but may I assume a device license is transferable? I mean to transfer it when I ditch my Mac for a new one, so I'm talking about my devices only. I'm just asking to be clear, especially given use of the word

I cross my sevens! I'll consider starting to slash my zeros. Seems legit.

Did we learn nothing from "A View to a Kill" ?

There are canvases.... Some similarities if you squint. Clearly not for code use but for shared durable notes....

I've seen both of these philosophies. I liken them to religions, the believers are devout. Code is King vs the DB is King. I'm personally Code is King, and I have my reasons (like everyone else)

OK, in all fairness I did think all we were talking about was the trigger, not the underlying vulnerable system (which I already had understood to be less than solid over the years.)

I heard similar but haven't found a "no, it wasn't a monkey" article yet.

I'd say that's about the process itself, not the script mirroring the process. Fix the process, fix the script. Onwards....

What are good places to start down this rabbit hole? (for those willing to have their illusions tarnished? )

My first thought was that airplanes need noise canceling for the engine sounds. There's a real difference in a long flight with and without noise canceling headphones. Effective (better?) noise cancelation for the whole cabin would be

OK yeah, I was just attempting not to project authority but let the data (which I didn't have handy) be the important part.

I'm definitely not an expert, but I would say nothing of note has changed with our utility bill since we replaced the gas cooktop with an induction cooktop. The marketing will tell you it's more efficient because all the energy

After trying induction for a couple of years, I now believe it's superior to gas.

I've seen that forever and not just on United. I have thought it's something about the underlying SABRE system that many airlines use. Maybe someone here knows more.

The article mentions they only plan to do this starting at group 4... So that's 1. All pre boarding (military, families with small children, wheelchairs, etc) 2. Global services 3. Group 1 4. Group 2 5. Group 3 6. Group 4 7. Group 5

Chiming in: on my Android, I do have FF Nightly as my default browser for the whole phone. Recently some Google apps have begun to use Chrome, ignoring the system setting, but mostly, the setting is honored. There might be a few other exce

You probably correctly noted the gap between the founder's understanding and the ability of the engineering team to articulate ongoing concerns. Stepping past that, which they shouldn't, maybe in that gap, the founder picked a too

I'd say there are times when bad data is worse than no data. Consider that the farther away you get from it, the parties involved are either unaware or unwilling to treat it as bad data, so they make make harmful decisions.

Cute... mental note to either write a generator for these or throw some formulas into Excel Probably will NOT get around to it, though....

There was one at work in the 90s. Few of us had heard of it but the search properties against our data in memory were practical and useful (it wasn't just spinning the propeller on our beanies). For years, whenever I'd mention it

That seems plausible too, and also lines up with what's happened to copyrights in the US...I can't speak much to real estate, but I'd say copyright went way overboard.

True - I meant the unethical-but-mechanically-possible act of having someone show you the place, then being a jerk and contacting the seller directly. edit: to be clear, I don't condone that at all, I just mean that's what I consi

I've wondered the same thing at times. I eventually came to the conclusion that there are intangible things that society values and must create (concoct) laws to protect the ones that are much too easily subvert or bypassed in ways tha

I'll do that. I already see overlap with Karabiner Elements, but it does seem like everything in this space overlaps everything else, so... par for the course. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks, I did see them. Splits are not interesting to me. Not yet anyway.
