Hmm, I'm not saying it's a good idea, but what about a daemon that keeps a symlinked version of the entire jira environment up to date? So you have one jira-as-filesystem that's the raw files, but then for human consumption&

Off-topic except that it's about gumroad - does anyone know of a proper abuse submission address or form for gumroad? I've received two spam emails from them in the past week, where a seller "sold" me something for $0, w

That's one of the difficult things when dealing with any sort of conspiracy theory or major discussion about fundamental issues with government - there _are_ significant issues, so straight dismissing "The Deep State" isn&#x2

Yeah, I'll just throw this here seeing as the other main thread on here is so long - his website _is_ wild, and I'm not prepared or willing to go through and figure out where all we agree and disagree. BUT, the linked library is

From the linked article: "Vanilla OS also checks for system updates weekly, by default. Users can change this to daily, weekly, or never if they choose. To minimize any impact on the user experience, the updater considers factors such

You may be interested in the youtube channel Project Farm then - I don't know if he's specifically tested Wiha screwdrivers, but Wiha performed well in his recent pliers test video[0]. [0] https://www.youtube.com/w

I was going to add on here that I thought electricity prices might be cheaper as well - I swear I saw recently some EU country was basically fully powered by renewable energy for some period of time, so electricity costs basically went nega

Another guess - just comparing Linode and OVHCloud quickly, my guess is that Linode focuses more on multi-VPS systems, while OVHCloud has a larger fleet of dedicated servers. If you have limited rack space and an existing fleet of servers,

All valid points, but I will say services don't help in this situation - I received an email from @redditmail.com recently, which is real and part of reddit but feels off on first glance. Couple that with gmail having no way to show th

Yeah, too recent to understand (though I've also been out of the loop a bit) - so thank you, that's...a good one.

Absolutely all valid points. I will say (because you specifically pointed out you haven't checked - I do enjoy clear and honest communication online) that Obsidian at least deals with straight Markdown files, so while (per my current u

That's one of the benefits of the body cams - it protects the police from false accusations while it protects the citizens from abuse. Your point about "absolutely highest impossible standards" is valid, though I'd say t

You might like Notion, Obsidian or similar note taking apps - using it as basically a stream-of-consciousness tool, recording what you've tested, those notes you mentioned, but also being able to embed code, screenshots, etc. _all in-l

Not trolling or attacking, but - how would criminals use higher standards of behavior to harass police? I don't propose to have any magic solutions or great insights, but if there's a proper series of reforms I don't see how

I do love how just about every place that site is mentioned, even Google search results, it's in the format "X (formerly Twitter)".

For those who don't know the current records well, from Wikipedia[0]: The men's world record is 9.58 seconds, set by Jamaica's Usain Bolt in 2009, while the women's world record is 10.49 seconds, set by American Florence

Also, piezoelectric motors are a thing - sure, they're super tiny and for specific purposes (very fine movement), but beyond the fact that they use electricity to generate the vibrations that they then use for movement, I don't th

I had a similar comment so I'll just add-on here - jitter definitely is a huge issue. If an interface is _consistently_ slow you know to slow down, space out actions and wait for visual confirmations; if an interface is generally resp

I played around with a Markov generator many years ago, trained on the corpus of everything I had ever said in a specific IRC channel. The resulting messages were pretty interesting - I specifically remember the realization that I apparent

Because I trust a random HN commenter more than what I can find on Google easily these days (though I did still search first of course)... why will they be a brick at the end of the year? If it's not for some strong built-in reason (im

That could probably be called a Heisenbug[0]: A bug that disappears or alters its behavior when one attempts to probe or isolate it. Though it depends on the cause - as others in this comment chain said, if it's just that the file isn&

Based on the intonation, I'm guessing it's a "loyalty" card - it tracks your purchases, unlocks some level of default discounts, and will often accrue points you can then use for various purposes. Giant Eagle in the US

I like the badge idea, though I think a central repo would be nice as well. Need to curate and update obviously. This would also work for my old idea of a "use this one, Grandma" generator - basically a way to print out (and anno

Another literal answer to this question - spark testing. Take a sample to a grinder/belt sander and observe the sparks coming off - fairly crude, but you should be able to tell the difference between aluminum (no sparks), steel (mostl

Wouldn't that be an argument for Americans (and others) to buy _as many_ Chinese cars as possible? Unless China is imposing export tariffs/taxes/etc. on them, this would basically be draining the subsidized money from their
