You've mentioned some roles are fully remote - ok to apply from Australia or no? (it's absent from the extensive list of locations on the jobs)

The pixel 5 ticks a lot of the same boxes as the pixel 4 btw. Similar form factor, but bigger battery and wireless charging. Plus if you install florisboard from f-droid you can customize a one-handed mode for the keyboard, which works quit

Ok are you riding with two huge boxes containing all your work on an electric unicycle and I guess the hi-vis top means you're headed into traffic and the box-cords seem to be balancing at the halfway point of the boxes and this is too

As soon as the thumbs-up started rotating and the severed wrist was revealed, it became apparent: I had never wondered where the rest of the thumbs-up person was before. But more chillingly: A thumbs-up from a person off-screen is fine, a d

Oh! And if one felt like solving the puzzle, it might lead to that person being mis-identified as being a bot. Which would be a perverse incentive to avoid wrecking the trap.

I'm suggesting that one should not be able to obviously detect that they're being challenged. Eg I could respond in Pig Latin to you right now because I can see that's what you're asking, but if that particular request w

This whole thing was more of a shower-thought. But the trap I left behind was a link hidden in a full-stop in a deliberately acquiescent comment. The link went to an imgur image. The image consisted of a bunch of numbers. The numbers were a

A local neighbourhood cake-stall marketplace. Got a great recipe and some time to bake? Put a picture of your sweet treat up, and get strangers knocking on your front door. You get cash-in-hand, delicious reviews and get to share your famil

Did you take a look at one of the chat-based queuing platforms, something like https://dibsonstuff.com people seem to use it for taking turns with servers, but it sounds a bit like it might work for your use-case too.

Perhaps they should phase out the encryption on WhatsApp as well?

There are probably parallels with rap artists. There are those that improvise and flow. (the rest of us edit and re-edit)

Jotted down my backup process for home. Spoiler: it's a bunch of SSDs sitting on top of a Raspberry Pi. But there's a few fun things in there too: raid, encryption, cron, make, rsync, ssh, Home Assistant and a tiny loaner dog. Enj

Just on your first suggestion, this also means that if a person or process can drop a file (unknown to you) into your ~/bin/ then they can wreak havoc. Eg they can override `sudo` to capture your password, or override `rm` to send

Good question. So one change I made last year was to cap the number of queues the free account could utilize. It's sort of hard to know for certain if that was what moved the needle though. There has been a suggestion that maybe the fr
