Fellow pool owner who has always drawn the line at “only pros do the pvc cutting”. I’d love to hear more.

Presumably Fable 5 won't be made available on GovCloud Bedrock, right now it's not [1]. However what I'm not seeing discussed anywhere are government agencies that are on commercial AWS, have ATOs in place to use Bedrock, an

I have multiple login.gov accounts. They don’t let you change your primary email, so if you’re using corporate account and switch jobs the normal thing is to create new accounts. I’m sure this is padding their numbers.

Giving it the first full listen now. Loving it so far. Such an evolution of sound, but still clearly BoC. It will take its place amongst all the other BoC greats. Pretty emotional listening to this..

Big issue that also seems to unfortunately be more and more common is variations in sizing within the same brand and article of clothing! Different batches with minor variations of the same exact size, or sizes changing over time. Love the

Appears to have recovered, as has bleep.com. Their bandcamp page never failed though. Just wait if they post audio previews! Although I think I'd rather wait until May 29 to hear it. 13 years!

Because if you’re a vscode user up until a couple days ago you could hammer Opus 4.6 all day every day and pay nowhere close to the Claude Max plan. Many people exploited this and the subsidy is closing.

Similarly, laptop purist for the past 25 years. I so much prefer the focus of one thing on my screen at a time, and toggling between apps without having to shift eyes on a large monitor. I also like to pick up and work from starbucks or whe

I see everyone talking about Hyperion, so I will play up The Terror as one of my favorites. The TV series did NOT do it justice.

I like the layout of this site. However I feel it should be stated more prominently that the primary source of data are online news articles.

I only use YouTube with my watch history set to off. So there is no feed, and I only see updates from channels I actually subscribed to. If I want to see some random crap I go search for it but it’s a clean slate next time I open the app. I

This generation will never experience the joy of flipping on network tv on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, seeing Shawshank on, sitting down and just watching it, even though you’ve seen it countless times and it’s the tv-edited commercial

I feel like a lot of the pro-spider replies have never accidentally disturbed or stepped on a momma wolf spider carrying her babies on back and witnessed the pure terror that ensues as hundreds of babies swarm out across your floor.

I view this largely as a symptom of the widescale “success” of the bloated J2EE app servers in the early 2000s to mid 2010s. Your Java version and dependencies were locked in and upgrading was a massive effort. A large group of developers s

I'm going to guess the person suffers from vertigo, as have I to a small degree - particularly on the metro escalator in Rosslyn, VA (across the river from DC). The sensation occurs going down or up very tall escalators in a tunnel. Wh

As a pool owner (3 feet in the shallow end and eight feet in the deep end) and parent of a three year old plus older kids that grew up with the pool — I can not fathom allowing a four year old to explore the yard on their own when this was

Most of US government runs significant workloads on AWS now and that’s only increasing. They’ve cornered govt cloud infrastructure (with Azure, GCP, etc. very far behind) so not sure this matters in grand scheme of things. Anecdotal based o

It blows my mind how many people still publicly post venmo payments, so this doesn’t surprise me actually.

In high school physics I procrastinated until the night before our egg drop competition to finally address what I was going to do. I got a medium/large size plastic tupperware container (rigid plastic body with a rigid lid). I took a b

Proud to say that in the early-mid 2000s I was a consultant dev at NSF and worked on the research proposal submission and eval website called Fastlane. They’ve since moved the functionality to research.gov, but my code ran in production for
